Re: CAA: Mutual Help List, Above Ground Fuel Tanks

[RStein@xxxxxxxx]

Perhaps this is a question to run by the Airport Certification Inspector
(if you're a Par 139 airport), or the state airport inspector (if you're
not).  If you're 139 - and you get the regulations wrong - they're going to
want you to remove the tank.  Therefore, It'll probably be better to get
their opinion before putting the tank in anyway.

Is anyone here familiar with an interpretation of the FAR 77 or any other
ordinances that could help us prevent the installation of an above ground
fuel tank system about 50 ft outside an RPZ yet only 8'tall. It seems to be
with in the guidelines (below approach surfaces), however it is
uncomfortably close if there was to be a short landing.
