Taxing into hangar = illegal?

[Groundpounder]

Is it illegal to taxi an aircraft inside a hangar?

 

[siucavflight]

No...

If it is then I am guilty as charged.

I dont see why it would be illegal. I am sure that there is nothing about this in the regs.

 

[ReverseSensing]

Besides, it's a lot easier than sweeping out the hangar.

That would really depend on the circumstances. Depending on the outcome or who complains, the FAA' response would most likely be 14 CFR 91.13(b), Careless and Reckless Operations.

Does any particular specific regulation exist prohibit operation of an aircraft inside a hangar? No. Not with respect to the "FAR's."

At the same time, the hangar is a place where the accumulation of volatile vapors and flammable liquids tend to exist, where fire fighting capabilities are hampered by the contraints of the hangar and the hazardous materials kept inside, where reduced lighting often occurs, where people tend to gather, where objects such as chocks can easily be picked up by the prop and thrown (seen it, seen people nearly killed by it), where maneuvering room is reduced, and where generally we make a practice of moving aircraft by hand and not under their own power. Perhaps that's why it's called a hangar, and not a taxiway.

Then why do you drive on a parkway, yet park on a driveway?

 

[avbug]

I walk on a parkway, and park in the garage. The driveway is for basketball.

 

[81Horse]

I'm pretty sure it's illegal to fly through a hangar though.

 

[avbug]

That would be 91.13(a).

Unless you're Waldo Pepper.

Or the hangar is in the way.

If it is, open the doors.

At each end...

'Cause it wouldn't necessarily be that sketchy ...
