Special Use Airport

[Say Again Over]

FWIW, my experience with complying with the airport qualification for "special Airports" was simply to look at the picture pages in our Jeppesen manual.

Our airline operates into a "Special Use" airport. (KEYW) Key West is considered special use by the FAA or ICAO. I am looking for documantation as to why it is special use. I have a few leads but it is all just someone giving my their explanation. I would like offical document reference if someone out there can help that would be great

Better late than never.

I was reading the FAA's Instrument Procedures Handbook and came across "special airports". Page 4-24 shows KEYW listed as having "lake effect upon thermals on short final to 4,800ft runway".

Something about part 119 certificate holders operating under 121.443.
