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.
