Operating Certificate must hold a fullscale airport emergency plan exercise
at least once every 36 consecutive calendar months.

methods and procedures for the development of an airport emergency plan
that are acceptable to the Administrator.
(k) The emergency plan required by
this section must be submitted by each
holder of a Class II, III, or IV Airport
Operating Certificate no later than 24
consecutive calendar months after
June 9, 2004.
