• Abstract:
  Many states in the United States of America have licensing requirements for their general use airports. The objective of this study was to determine if current Alabama's regulations for general use airports are timely and if they compare favorably with selected states. Alabama's requirements were compared with several adjacent states, other states select because of good reputations for airport administration, and with guidelines from the Federal Aviation Administration. ; The results of this study are presented in this report as a discussion contrasting Alabama licensing requirements with others. A spreadsheet in the appendix provides a line item comparison of each state's airport licensing requirements. ; This study revealed that Alabama ranks highest among the sampled states in airport licensing requirements, but could consider incorporating several features from other states.
