The Authority reserves the right to claim immunity from liability in connection with its operation of the Airport and to assert any other defense available, including without limitation immunity or defenses based on its status as a governmental entity.

D. References and citations in the Rules and Regulations to ordinances, laws, regulations, policies, standards and guidelines promulgated by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the United States, and public and private bodies include any amendments as may be adopted after the Authority’s adoption of the Rules and Regulations.

II. PURPOSE

A. In establishing the Rules and Regulations, the Authority’s goals are to promote the safe, secure and orderly use of the Airport.

B. The Authority recognizes the jurisdiction of the federal government, delegated to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), concerning the navigable airspace, licensing and regulation of pilots, air carriers, and aircraft, and the safety and security of the traveling public at the Airport.

Nothing herein is intended to assert jurisdiction by the Authority over matters under the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal government, and the provisions hereof shall be interpreted consistent with this purpose.

B. The Authority intends for the Rules and Regulations, including amendments, to be applicable to all persons having a lease, permit or agreement with the Authority to the fullest extent permitted under the lease, permit, or agreement, even where the application of the Rules and Regulations may impose a new or different obligation than existed at the time of execution of the lease, permit or agreement.

C. The Executive Director may waive all or any portion of the Rules and Regulations for the benefit of any government or government agency performing public or emergency services, including for example and without limitation, law enforcement, disaster relief, search and rescue, fire prevention and firefighting, but only to the extent that the Executive Director determines that any such waiver will not derogate the safety of Airport operations.

17 RULES AND REGULATIONS

C. Self-fueling is subject to the requirements of Section E hereof.

D. The Authority does not recognize aircraft managers, co-ops, or hangar associations to be the owner or lessee of an aircraft, and each such entity therefore is not permitted to self-service. Flying clubs and companies engaged in fractional aircraft ownership operations pursuant to 14 C.F.R. Part 91 that are the owner or lessee of an aircraft are permitted to self-service, in accordance with federal law. Aircraft manufacturers are permitted to self-service aircraft prior to delivery and while the aircraft is under the manufacturer’s care, custody, and control. Airlines are permitted to self-service aircraft that may be owned or leased by an air carrier with a separate legal identity from the airline and providing scheduled passenger service at the Airport in accordance with a contract or agreement with the airline.

E. Self-servicing shall be performed only by the aircraft owner, operator, or lessee or employees of the owner, operator, or lessee. The Executive Director may require proof of employment, such as a copy of the employee’s W-2 Statement.

F. No person shall be required to self-service. Airport users may purchase products and services from the Authority or a duly authorized commercial aeronautical service provider.

VIII. AIRCRAFT DEICING

A. Aircraft deicing shall only be performed at the gate or in areas designated by the Executive Director. Aircraft shall not be parked in a manner that blocks apron access taxiways or otherwise obstructs designated taxi routes along designated apron taxilanes. Aircraft shall be positioned in such a manner that spray from deicing operations does not contaminate other vehicles or people (e.g., overspray on fuel trucks, service vehicles, or personnel).

B. Deicing vehicles and support equipment shall be parked in designated parking places and will not be parked in aircraft operating areas.

Parking locations shall be identified by the Executive Director.

C. Deicing vehicles shall not be parked, without a driver, while running within 50 feet of the Terminal and/or passenger loading bridges.

Vehicles may only be running and unattended if chocked and parked in areas specifically designated by the Executive Director.

D. Aircraft deicing shall not occur during an aircraft refueling/defueling operation. Deicing vehicles shall maintain at least 50 feet of clearance from any aircraft being refueled/defueled.

E. Each company performing aircraft deicing at the Airport must track and record Aircraft Deicing Fluid usage on a monthly basis in a form and schedule as requested by the Executive Director. At a minimum, each report must include total gallons (specify straight or diluted ratio) for each of the Type I and Type IV fluids applied during each calendar month.

IX. AUTHORITY FACILITIES

A. No person shall use any Airport facilities or property for any commercial purpose that is not expressly permitted by a lease, permit, or other written agreement with the Authority.
