October surprise: FAA does not care what your hangar costs

# CPA Synopsis

On October 7, the FAA ruled in favor of a Denver FBO in a Part 13 complaint, determining that an 82-percent hangar rent increase was “fair and reasonable” without publicly disclosing supporting evidence for the decision. This ruling effectively limits regulatory oversight of hangar pricing and may enable other FBOs to implement significant rent increases on Colorado pilots without FAA intervention.
