Venice Airport.” 3/1/2021 Venice Aviation Society, Inc. (VASI) Venice Municipal Airport Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) History & General Information The City of Venice owns and operates the Venice Municipal Airport (KVNC) located several miles south of Venice’s central business district. Venice Municipal Airport is a General Aviation, Federally Obligated Airport, and a part of the National Aviation System. The airport began operations as an Army Air Force Base in World War II. The City acquired the airport through federal deeds of land transfer following the war. Starting in 1947, the War Assets Administrator (later the General Services Administration) deeded the City the basic airport land pursuant to the Surplus Property Act of 1944. A Federally Obligated Airport, such as Venice, is one that has incurred certain responsibilities, requirements, limitations and restrictions by accepting Federal assistance in either the form of grants or conveyance of Federal property for airport purposes. These deeds of transfer or conveyance imposed these restrictions, limitations and requirements on the City in assuming title to the Airport. These deed restrictions go with the land in perpetuity. General Aviation is non-airline aviation that includes among other segments, business/corporate aircraft, personally owned aircraft, and aviation businesses such as charter, sightseeing, aircraft rental or flight training. The airport serves the general aviation needs of the local area by providing business-related flying, and police, fire and rescue services, humanitarian aid, recreational flying, flight training, medical evacuation, charity flights (such as Angel Flight), U.S. Coast Guard; and other aviation-related activities. Approximately twelve businesses currently operate from the Venice Municipal Airport. The airport also manages over 400 aeronautical and non-aeronautical leases. Although the airport is open to the public and to visiting aircraft, no commercial airlines operate at the Venice Municipal Airport. There are over 200 aircraft annually based at the airport. Businesses operating from the airport include a Fixed Base Operator, flight training school, aircraft and avionics maintenance, a restaurant, a missionary support operation, and the Sarasota County Sheriff’s Aviation Unit. Based on 2013 data, there are over 50,000 take-offs and landings annually. The airport is open for day and night aviation operations, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The airport administration office is open to the public between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. five days a week. Suncoast Air Center, the airport’s Fixed Base Operator, is open seven days a week (contact Suncoast at 941-485- 1799). The Venice City Archives located in the Historic Triangle Inn have extensive records on the history of the Venice Army Air Force Base. Additionally, the City of Venice website Airport Department also includes a short “FAQs about the History of the Venice Airport.” 1 3/1/2021 What are some of the airport deed restrictions the City must observe? Some of the deed restrictions are that the city may not use or transfer the airport property to other than airport purposes without consent of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). In addition, the property must be used and maintained as an airport. The property must be used to benefit the public without unjust discrimination, which means in general that the city may not discriminate against various classes of aircraft that are able to use the airport. The City may not give an exclusive right of use of the airport at the expense of other persons in the same class, which must have the same right. Of importance, the City is required to protect the aerial approaches to the airport. The U.S. can take control of the airport in a national emergency. Certain requirements exist while the airport remains under federal control. Copies of the deeds are available for review at the Venice Airport Administration Office. Does the City have other limitations and restrictions on their operation of the airport? Yes, the City has other limitations and restrictions on airport operations. As a condition of accepting federal grants, the City assured the federal government under Title 49, U.S.C that it will agree to several grant assurances (many like the deed assurances). As previously noted, the City must continue to operate the airport as a public use airport and be made available to the public without unjust discrimination to all types, kinds and classes of aeronautical activities, including commercial aeronautical activities offering services to the public at the airport. And as noted above the City must protect aerial approaches to the airport. These grant obligations normally last for 20 years following the issuance of the Federal grant, or in some instances the useful life of the improvement. However, as noted above the City must observe in perpetuity certain deed assurances incurred when the Federal Government conveyed the airport to the City. A copy of the current grant assurances is available for review at the Venice Airport Administration Office. The State of Florida Department of Transportation, Aviation Office (FDOT, Aviation), issues an Airport Permit and assures the safe, continued operation of the airport. What happens if the City does not observe these restrictions? If the city does not abide by deed restrictions, the U.S. Government may require that the property revert to federal control. The federal government also has other remedies they may pursue at their discretion in responding to violations of deed restrictions and grant obligations. The city may also voluntarily surrender control of the airport to the federal government or some other governing body. 2 3/1/2021 Can the Venice Airport be moved off the Venice Island to free up that land for other uses? The Venice Airport can only be moved with the prior permission of the FAA. If the City built a new airport elsewhere to the current FAA standards, including all existing facilities, equal or better utility and all work completed, the FAA would likely be willing to approve moving the airport and the closure of the existing facility. Any new Venice Municipal Airport would have to be completed and operational before the existing airport could be closed. The cost to build a new airport comparable to the existing airport, including facilities, based on an earlier study has been estimated to be in excess of $130 million. The City in the past did contract for an evaluation of the cost and feasibility of moving the airport. The results of the study were that such an action was un-affordable and, therefore, not feasible. What benefits dose the Airport provide the City? The airport is and has been an economic benefit not only to the city but also to the surrounding areas. Several businesses currently operate from the Venice Municipal Airport. Additionally, the existence of the airport occupying land space at the south end of the Venice Island has created an undeveloped buffer of open space. Airport land was made available for lease to the Venice Lakes Golf Course and Sharky’s Restaurant (which restaurant property is now owned by the city). The airport has provided substantial open space benefit to the city. The City’s newest park, the Maxine Barrette Park, is also located on former airport land. Additionally, the City uses airport land as a temporary festival ground. According to the recent FDOT Aviation Study Venice Municipal Airport’s positive regional economic impact is in excess of $43 million annually (Florida Statewide Aviation Economic Impact Study Update, August 2014). What is the City’s role in airport operations? The City owns operates and maintains the Venice Municipal Airport as a Federally Obligated Airport in accordance with original deed restrictions and various Federal Grant Obligations (copies of the documents are available for review at the Airport Administration Office) and Florida State Regulations. The City is responsible for the safe and efficient operation and maintenance of the airport. The City works to balance the impacts of airport operations and the needs of airport users with the needs of the community. The City in accordance with FAA Regulations and Circulars provides procedures for aircraft operations on the ground. The FAA exclusively regulates aircraft operations in the air. The City is also responsible for physical security at the airport and limits access to authorized airport users, tenants and their guests. 3 3/1/2021 The City of Venice owns and operates the Venice Municipal Airport as an enterprise fund. Operating and capital budgets are user funded through land and hangar leases, fuel sale flowage fees, leasing airport land, facilities and hangars to commercial aviation companies and individual aircraft owners. Neither City General Funds nor taxpayer property tax monies are used to support the Airport. Substantial capital expenditures at the airport are primarily from federal grant funds, issued by the FAA for eligible airfield improvements and maintenance projects. These grants are from the Airport and Airway Trust Fund. These grants in great part are user- funded through taxes levied on aviation fuels, passenger tickets, air transportation of goods, and the use of civil aircraft. State grants issued by the FDOT Aviation are also available for eligible projects. The FDOT Aviation issues an Airport Permit and assures the safe, continued operation of the airport through annual safety compliance inspections. The City of Venice does not control the airspace over the airport or the city. How does the City finance airport operations? The City of Venice owns and operates the Venice Municipal Airport (KVNC) as an enterprise fund. Operating and capital budgets are user funded through land and hangar leases, fuel sale flowage fees, leasing airport land (as an example Venice Lakes Golf Club), facilities and hangars to commercial aviation companies and individual aircraft owners. Rents for hangars and certain ground leases are comparable and in the range with other like airports set in the region.

  • 3 Airport System and Classifications
    3 Airport System and Classifications 3.1 Introduction One of the first steps in the system planning process is to identify the airports to be included in the system. States utilize different methods for defining the airports considered for inclusion in their state aviation transportation networks. Inclusion criteria could relate to ownership and use, while the impact of inclusion could affect funding eligibility or regulatory impacts. Once system airports are identified, further stratification or classification of facilities helps organize the system according to the types of users served and role in the statewide system. 3.2 Aviation Facilities in Florida A considerable number of aviation facilities are located in Florida. According to Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) airport facilities data as of August 2017, there were 768 aviation facilities located throughout the state. These facilities primarily consist of airports and heliports; however, approximately 10 percent of the aviation facilities consists of gliderports, seaplane bases, and ultralight facilities. These facilities are made up of airports with different ownership and uses across six categories (see Figure 3-1): 1. Publicly-owned, public-use. Of all aviation facilities located throughout Florida, 104 are publicly-owned and operated as public-use facilities. These facilities are owned by counties or municipalities or through the establishment of a special district (airport authority). A significant number of these facilities were originally military installations that were transferred from the U.S. government to local agencies. Many of these airport owners have accepted state and/or federal grant funding for new construction, maintenance, or other airport improvements. The acceptance and use of these grants comes with certain assurances, one of which requires that the airport continues to be operated as an airport for a specified duration as determined by the FAA, typically 20 years after the acceptance and use of grant funding.
