View Maine’s Aviation Liability Act
A copy of Maine’s Act to Limit Liability for Certain Noncommercial Aviation Activities was forward to us by Raymond Vander Roest.  This is an example of what some private airstrip owners in Michigan would like to see implemented to protect a landowner from liability while allowing use of their property.   If anyone has additional information or would like to comment, please send us an email at grassstrip@mpaoa.org.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

About the MPAOA

Our Mission - “To protect, promote, and advocate for privately owned airstrips in Michigan.”  Our goal is to create a membership of airstrip owners and affiliated partners to achieve our mission.  The MPAOA works to provide members with current information on issues such as liability concerns, power line marking, zoning issues, neighbor problems and all other matters that affect the ownership and operation of privately owned strips, all this with input from our membership. In addition we welcome as associate members the equipment manufacturers and suppliers who have an interest in serving our members.
