Standard Specification for Recreational Airpark Design (Withdrawn 2024)
ABSTRACT
This specification covers the minimum requirements for the design of a recreational airpark intended to service any aircraft with specified stall speed. Recreational Airparks may provide commercial services in support of the recreational operation of light sport aircraft, including, but not limited to: flight instruction, introductory flights, aircraft rental, glider towing, and maintenance services. An airpark site should take into consideration the need to ensure safe approaches and departures of aircraft. Each facility shall have a means by which a person can contact an appropriate authority in case of an emergency. One example would be a public phone. Each facility shall have a functioning wind sock. Runway location and orientation are important to airport safety, efficiency, economics, and environmental impact. The threshold should be located at the beginning of the marked runway surface. Fuel storage facilities are required to be placed in a location outside of the runway and taxiway safety areas.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers the minimum requirements for the design of a recreational airpark intended to service any aircraft with stall speeds (Vs1) of 45 knots or less. These aircraft include but are not limited to, standard category aircraft, light sport aircraft, ultralights, microlights, and advanced ultralights
1.2 Recreational airparks are designed for daylight operations from 60 min before official sunrise to 60 min after official sunset.
1.3 Recreational Airparks may provide commercial services in support of the recreational operation of light sport aircraft, including, but not limited to: flight instruction, introductory flights, aircraft rental, glider towing, and maintenance services.
1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
WITHDRAWN RATIONALE
This specification covered the minimum requirements for the design of a recreational airpark intended to service any aircraft with stall speeds (Vs1) of 45 knots or less. These aircraft included but were not limited to, standard category aircraft, light sport aircraft, ultralights, microlights, and advanced ultralights.
Formerly under the jurisdiction of Committee F37 on Light Sport Aircraft, this specification was withdrawn in January 2024 in accordance with section 10.6.3 of the Regulations Governing ASTM Technical Committees, which requires that standards shall be updated by the end of the eighth year since the last approval date.
