Frederick, MD Example Background: Status: In 1989 FDK used $5M in AIP money to pave runway 12-30 and establish a "glider operating area" (GOA) adjacent to it. The GOA was approved by the FAA. Concurrent with the establishment of the GOA, the local glider club signed a 20 years lease for property adjacent to the GOA and developed hangars and a clubhouse; the facility to revert to FDK ownership on expiration of lease in 2012. In 2003, the local ADO claimed that the GOA was not documented and informed FDK that the GOA had to cease. More recently, the ADO informed FDK that the lease signed by the glider club was not at "fair market value", and that they would withhold further AIP funding from FDK until the leased was changed. The glider operation is currently being conducted from runway 12-30. FDK has not abrogated the glider club lease and the ADO is withholding AIP funding ($13M). 24
