ABSTRACT
Community hangars are large hangars operated by the airport or xed-base operator in which numerous aircraft owned by different individuals or corporations are kept together. The aircraft are moved in and out of the hangar by the xed-base operator. This is done to provide for the security and safety of all the aircraft and to prevent damage to aircraft when being moved. Most community hangars have doors and can be locked. Community hangars should also be protected by an intrusion detection and re protection system. High-security locks, access control, security signage, security lighting, and security cameras are also recommended. The hangar should be designated as a restricted area with strict access control. Access control includes the use of identication cards, sign-in procedures, and passes and escorts for visitors.
