Subpart 14_Use of NASA Airfield Facilities by Aircraft Not Operated for 
                  the Benefit of the Federal Government
 
Sec. 1204.1406  Procedures in the event of a declared in-flight 
emergency.

    (a) Any aircraft involved in a declared in-flight emergency that 
endangers the safety of its passengers and aircraft may land at a NASA 
airfield. In such situations, the requirements for this subpart for 
advance authorizations, do not apply.
    (b) NASA personnel may use any method or means to clear the aircraft 
or wreckage from the runway after a landing following an in-flight 
emergency. Care will be taken to preclude unnecessary damage in so 
doing. However, the runway will be cleared as soon as possible for 
appropriate use.
    (c) The emergency user will be billed for all costs to the 
Government that result from the emergency landing. No landing fee will 
be charged, but the charges will include the labor, materials, parts, 
use of equipment, and tools required for any service rendered under 
these circumstances.
    (d) In addition to any report required by the Federal Aviation 
Administration, a complete report covering the landing and the emergency 
will be filed with the airfield manager by the pilot or, if the pilot is 
not available, any other crew member or passenger.
    (e) Before an aircraft which has made an emergency landing is 
permitted to take off (if the aircraft can and is to be flown out) the 
owner or operator thereof shall make arrangements acceptable to the 
approving authority to pay any charges assessed for services rendered 
and execute a Hold Harmless Agreement. The owner or operator may also be 
required to furnish a certificate of insurance, as provided in Sec. 
1204.1404, covering such takeoff.
