Restrictions & Hangar Info
Hicks Airfield Pilots Association
Hangars For Sale or Rent
Check the ads in the latest Flappings or the Classified page on the airport
website for details of availability.
Restrictions
Owners at Hicks Airfield are required to agree to restrictions and pay
association dues intended to maintain safety, porperty values, and provide
for maintenance on the airport. The complete list of restrictions can be
found in the Covenants, Conditions, & Restrictions (CCRs) availabe in their
entirety within the "Owners Link" on this website.
The most common issues are:
1. The airport has a 15 mph speed limit to increase safety between
aircraft and automobiles.
2. Aircraft have the right of way at all times! If you are in an auto,
please pull out of the way or back up. Airplanes cannot back up or
pull over. For wingtip clearance, aircraft should remain on the
centerline of the taxiway.
3. Unattended parking on or within 15 feet of a taxiway edge (30 feet
from the centerline) is prohibited. This exists so that aircraft with
35 foot or greater wingspan can maneuver safely to and from the
runway. In general, outside parking is very limited as most owners
use almost all of the available space in their hangar.
4. Outside storage is prohibited. This includes trailers, autos, and
just about anything that is not part of the hangar. Also, their is no
city provided regular trash service on the airfield. These services
have to be arranged with private services and there are limitations
on where dumpsters and trash bins can be located.
5. Due to limitations with the septic systems, there are restrictions on
daily water usage. Residences are prohibited in some areas and
not recommended in others. Providing for your own septic system
is recommended if you plan on using more than 40 gallons of water
per day.
6. In general, commercial operations that bring heavy trucks onto the
airfield is discouraged. The taxiway infrastructure was not designed
or intended for heavy vehicle use. It is difficult to maneuver large
trucks in some areas and there is little or no room for loading or
unloading without blocking the taxiways.
7. Grass must be kept mowed at all times.
Violations are typically $250 per incident and billed to the member that
owns the property after a warning has been issued. Owners are ultimately
responsible for keeping their tenants and visitors in compliance with the
restrictions.
Typical Hangar Construction
Hangar design must be approved by HAPA to maintain consistency, as well
as ensuring safety for aviation operations (i.e. height limitations, taxiway
clearance, etc.)
The building must have a hangar door to qualify as a "hangar" and must be
designed for normal, safe parking of an aircraft. Most hangars have a steel
construction (no brick or outside wood framing) and are 18 to 25 feet tall.
The average hangar door size is 40' wide by 16' high, using a bi-fold lifting
mechanism. Concrete foundations are required.
