| What do I need to do to have authorization to use my backyard as a runway for a plane? What do people do do have their strips put on the charts? |

| I'm sure that there are some regs that will be posted...(I'll let someone else chime in on that one), but there was a story on the news recently about a helicopter pilot who fought to have a landing pad for his helo. His neighbors were complaining about the noise. look at my post under the HELO section ( helicopter pilot fights to land in his backyard). I believe there is a link to the news broadcast as well. |

| The neighbors at my parents house put in a paved Helo Pad with windsock and lights about a year ago. There are at least 20 homes nearby surrounding his 8 acres or so. He didn't warn anyone about it. Luckily he has only landed his large Eurocopter there a few times in the past year. |

| First step is your local zoning board/commission. Depending on your local laws, an airport may be against code, so you might need a waiver, or not. Just depends.
