Airport Compliance

Part 105 requires approval from airport management prior to jumping onto an airport. Public airports that have received federal Airport Improvement Program (AIP) funds consent to operate the airport in conformance with standard grant assurance agreements including operating the airport in a fair and reasonable manner, and not discriminating among types, kinds and classes of aeronautical activity. The FAA affirms that skydiving is a legitimate aeronautical activity.
