In only the second FAA Part 16 Formal Complaint that USPA has participated in, FAA Headquarters has determined that skydiving can be safely accommodated at yet another general aviation airport.

A member had filed the formal FAA complaint after his skydiving business was barred from the Yazoo City Airport in Mississippi. USPA became involved earlier when a local FAA office justified the action by observing that the airport was occasionally used by jets, was near an airway, had an instrument approach, and had a federal prison located two miles away.

At USPA's insistence, the FAA commissioned a new study by a regional FAA office. The study found no reason why the airport could not accommodate skydiving. FAA Headquarters used the new study as a basis for issuing its Part 16 determination that the airport must accept skydiving.
