§ 121.117
§ 121.117 Airports: Required data.

supplemental operations may use any
airport unless it is properly equipped
and adequate for the proposed oper-
ation, considering such items as size,

(b) Each certificate holder con-
ducting supplemental operations must
show that it has an approved system
for obtaining, maintaining, and distrib-
uting to appropriate personnel current
aeronautical data for each airport it
uses to ensure a safe operation at that
airport. The aeronautical data must in-
clude the following:
(1)
Airports.
(i)
Facilities.
(ii)
Public protection.
(iii)
Navigational and communica-
tions aids.
(iv)
Construction affecting takeoff,
landing, or ground operations.
(v)
Air traffic facilities.
(2)
Runways, clearways, and
stopways.
(i)
Dimensions.
(ii)
Surface.
(iii)
Marking and lighting systems.
(iv)
Elevation and gradient.
(3)
Displaced thresholds.
(i)
Location.
(ii)
Dimensions.
(iii)

(c) If the responsible Flight Stand-
ards office charged with the overall in-
spection of the certificate holder’s op-
erations finds that revisions are nec-
essary for the continued adequacy of
the certificate holder’s system for col-
lection, dissemination, and usage of
aeronautical data that has been grant-
ed approval, the certificate holder
shall, after notification by the respon-
sible Flight Standards office, make
those revisions in the system. Within
30 days after the certificate holder re-
ceives such notice, the certificate hold-
er may file a petition to reconsider the
notice with the Executive Director,
Flight Standards Service. This filing of
a petition to reconsider stays the no-
tice pending a decision by the Director,
Flight Standards Service. However, if
the responsible Flight Standards office
finds that there is an emergency that
requires immediate action in the inter-
est of safety in air transportation, the
Executive Director, Flight Standards
Service may, upon a statement of the
reasons, require a change effective
without stay.

reau. For operations outside the U.S.,

tificate holder must show that its
weather reports are prepared by a
source found satisfactory by the Ad-
