If you rent a hangar in the East-Ts, you have been paying landing fees TWICE!!
Have you reviewed your hangar rental agreement?
The hangar Rental Agreement states:
"9. USE OF AIRPORT. User [you] is granted the right of access to the Hangar and to reasonable ingress and egress for aircraft to and from the runways
of the Torrance Municipal Airport..."[emphasis added]
Ingress: This is the right to enter a property. In real estate, ensuring proper ingress means providing a way for people to access the property legally and safely. This could be through a road, a driveway, a walkway, or any other legal access route.. [emphasis added]
Ingress to and egress from the runway can legally occur by land (taxiway) or by air. Egress from the runway by air is called a take-off. Ingress to the runway by air is called a landing.
In summary, since February 1, 2024 we have been paying twice for the same right to access and land on our airport's runway--once with our hangar rent and once with the landing fees.
Shouldn’t we ask for a refund?
