Step 1 Gather information

I have been thinking about this for years. Ever since I started flying I have been intriqued with having an airstrip in the back yard with a cub to fly in the evenings. I have been on the lookout for land that would suit my purposes for what I want to do. Thus far nothing has come by that would suit my needs, that is in my price  range so I will have to keep looking. I have been gathering documents and doing research to find out how to basicly build and liscense a private airstrip. Below is a partial list of documents that I have aquired.  I have these in pdf form and would be more than willing to share.


1. The AOPA guide to establishing a Private Airport
2. The TX guide to establishing farm strips
3. The PA regulations pertaining to airports.
4. The IL guide to airparks.

I also have found a lot of good information here:
