§ 2.60.420. Parking of aircraft.

A.

No person shall park aircraft in any area on airport property other than as prescribed by the executive director.

B.

Aircraft parked on areas of leased airport property shall be under the lessee's control and liability.

C.

Parking of aircraft on the airline and airfreight terminal ramps at the Nashville Metropolitan Airport is to comply with regulations of the airport master security plan, as required under Part 107 of the Federal Aviation Regulations, and is restricted as follows:

1.

Aircraft of the certificated air carriers, nonscheduled supplemental air carriers and air taxi commuters, when parking at airline gate locations, are with the consent and control of the airline to which the gate is assigned.

2.

Other aircraft needing to park on the airline terminal ramp to enplane or deplane passengers are to park at Gate 20, which has access into the terminal main lobby by control of an airport security officer stationed at that location. Aircraft parking at this location which is limited in size and subject to jet blast, are restricted as follows:

a.

The aircraft shall park within the ramp area bounded by the terminal garden security fencing and double yellow lines painted upon the ramp surface. Aircraft are to be parked with parking brakes on and navigation lights left on during hours of darkness.

b.

Aircraft entering and departing this location are to yield to other aircraft and ground service vehicles that may be traversing the outer ramp area.

c.

Due to the limited space available for parking at this location, pilots are to expedite their deplaning and enplaining operations and remain with the aircraft.

d.

Since this parking location provides no tiedown facilities, ground rods for refueling, or parking attendants, no fueling of aircraft is permitted, and the aircraft operator agrees to waive any rights to damages from the authority or its board of commissioners or agents, servants or employees, and further agrees to hold harmless in case of a claim or suit by the owner or holder of any interest in the aircraft.

3.

Aircraft parking upon the air freight terminal ramp shall park within the double yellow lines upon the ramp pavement. No part of the aircraft shall extend past the yellow lines.

D.

If an aircraft is parked in an area other than that prescribed, or in a position that blocks a taxiway or a vehicle ramp service road, or within a runway or taxiway safety area, the operator of such aircraft, upon direction of the executive director, shall move the aircraft to an area so directed; if the operator refuses to comply with such direction, the executive director may tow the aircraft to such designated place at the operator's expense, and without liability for damage which may result in the course of such moving.
