Latest version.
  • 	(a)  17 AAC 42.500 - 17 AAC 42.599 apply only to Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport.  
    	(b)  The department finds that  
    		(1) the demand for float spaces on the airport substantially exceeds the number of spaces available;  
    		(2) the demand for certain wheel spaces on the airport exceeds the number of spaces available;  
    		(3) the demand for spaces to park transient light aircraft on the airport frequently exceeds the number of spaces available; and  
    		(4) it is in the best interest of the state to ensure that float spaces and wheel spaces that are in high demand be used by pilots who operate airworthy aircraft and regularly fly the aircraft.  
    	(c)  The purpose of 17 AAC 42.500 - 17 AAC 42.599 is to regulate the issuance of permits for aircraft tiedown spaces in a manner that  
    		(1) provides a fair, pilot-focused program;  
    		(2) provides permits for individual pilots who fly their owned or leased airworthy aircraft for either commercial or non-commercial use;  
    		(3) provides maximum use of available tiedown spaces;  
    		(4) reduces the wait lists for tiedown permits; and  
    		(5) provides a fair system for issuance and cancellation of permits and reassignment of tiedown spaces.  
    	(d)  17 AAC 42.500 - 17 AAC 42.599 do not apply to transient aircraft parking areas.
