Registration of airports.

The department shall promulgate rules pursuant to chapter 17A governing the issuance by the department of certificates of registration to all airports in this state which are open for use by the public and governing the annual renewal of those certificates. These rules shall require that an airport applying for a certificate of registration or for a renewal shall comply with minimum standards of safety as promulgated by the department before the certificate of registration or certificate of renewal may be issued. Certificates of registration or renewal may be issued subject to any conditions the department deems necessary to carry out the purposes of this section. The department may, after notice and opportunity for hearing as provided in chapter 17A, revoke any certificate of registration or renewal, or may refuse to issue a renewal, when the department determines that any of the following have occurred:

(1) The airport has been abandoned.

(2) The airport is no longer in compliance with the conditions of the registration or renewal.

(3) A change in physical or legal conditions or circumstances has made the airport either unsafe or unusable for the aeronautical purposes for which the registration or renewal was issued.
