Last three closed GA airports to open soon
AOPA confirms SFAR work completed
Jan. 23 — FAA Administrator Jane Garvey yesterday <A
HREF="http://www.aopa.org/whatsnew/caphill.cfm#garvey">told the Washington Aero
Club</A> that the last three closed general aviation airports in the
Washington,
D.C., area should be able to open within the next few days. AOPA has
confirmed with FAA sources that the agency has completed work on the <A
HREF="http://www.aopa.org/whatsnew/newsitems/2002/02-1-027x.html">Special
Federal Aviation Regulation</A> (SFAR) that will establish the security and
airspace rules that will permit based aircraft to begin flying again out of
College Park (CGS), Potomac Airfield (VKX), and Washington Executive/Hyde
Field (W32). The SFAR will now have to be reviewed by security agencies
including the U.S. Secret Service. However, these agencies have already seen
drafts of the rule and have agreed to the overall concepts.
