Subpart 14_Use of NASA Airfield Facilities by Aircraft Not Operated for 
                  the Benefit of the Federal Government
 
Sec.  1204.1402  Policy.

    (a) NASA airfields are not normally available to the general public; 
hence, any use of airfield facilities by aircraft not operated for the 
benefit of the Federal Government shall be within the sole discretion of 
the approving authorities.
    (b) Except in the event of a declared in-flight emergency (see Sec.  
1204.1406) or as otherwise determined by an approving authority, 
aircraft not operated for the benefit of the Federal Government are not 
permitted to land or otherwise use NASA airfield facilities.
    (c) Any use of a NASA airfield facility by aircraft not operated for 
the benefit of the Federal Government shall be free of charge and no 
consideration (monetary or otherwise) shall be exacted or received by 
NASA for such use. However, each user, as a condition of receiving 
permission to use such airfield facility, shall agree to become familiar 
with the physical condition of the airfield; abide by the conditions 
placed upon such use; subject the aircraft, the user, and those 
accompanying the user to any requirements imposed by NASA in the 
interest of security and safety while the aircraft or persons are on a 
NASA facility; use the facilities entirely at the user's own risk; hold 
the Federal Government harmless with respect to any and all liabilities 
which may arise as a result of the use of the facilities; and carry 
insurance covering liability to others in amounts not less than those 
listed in the Hold Harmless Agreement.
    (d) Permission to use a NASA airfield facility will be granted only 
in accordance with the limitations and procedures established by an 
approving authority and then only when such use will not compete with 
another airport in the vicinity which imposes landing fees or other user 
charges.
    (e) In no event, except for an in-flight emergency (see Sec.  
1204.1406), will permission to use NASA airfield facilities be granted 
to an aircraft arriving directly from, or destined for, any location 
outside the continental United States unless previously arranged and 
approved by the authorized approving official.
    (f) Permission to use NASA airfields may be granted only to those 
users having the legal capacity to contract and whose aircraft are in 
full compliance with applicable Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) or 
other cognizant regulatory agency requirements.
    (g) Permission to use NASA airfields, except in connection with a 
declared in-flight emergency, will consist only

of the right to land, park an aircraft, and subsequently take off. NASA 
is not equipped to provide any other services such as maintenance or 
fuel and such services will not be provided except following an in-
flight emergency.
