HANGAR INSPECTION COMING UP!!

Our annual hangar inspection (completion due in September) will be beginning this month. The excerpts below are from the (1) Lease Agreement and (2) Airport Minimum Standards:

(1) COMPLIANCE WITH MINIMUM STANDARDS: Tenant agrees that all of Tenant’s activities, operations and conduct on the Hangar shall comply with FAA Regulations and with current MINIMUM STANDARDS adopted by Landlord, a copy of which is available for examination in the office of the Airport Manager.

(2) FROM STANDARDS: A. Tenant shall be responsible for keeping the Premises in a neat and orderly fashion. Accumulation of rubbish, trash, rags, cans, grease, and food items in or about the T-Hangars is prohibited. Tenant shall keep the T-Hangar clean at all times. The Premises shall be subject to inspection by the Landlord and if found to be a fire or accident hazard or otherwise not to be in a neat and orderly condition, Tenant shall be so informed in writing and Tenant shall, within three days of this notice, clean the Premises to the Landlord’s satisfaction.

Below are a couple of pics of hangar doors -- which does your door look like?
Letters will be going out for those whose hangars are NOT acceptable according to the above minimum standards.
