Formally defining "flight parks" — publicly owned areas used for hang gliders, paragliders, and similar nonmotorized aircraft that are FAA-recognized — this bill adds them to Utah's legal definition of "airport" and establishes a 1,000-foot protected zone around their boundaries, similar to protections that exist for traditional airports and vertiports. Local governments near flight parks must apply airport overlay zoning rules, notify nearby developers of aircraft overflights, and may require avigation easements (legal rights allowing aircraft to fly over private property), though overlay restrictions near flight parks apply only to areas directly affecting launch and landing corridors.
