private aircraft hangar
Enclosed space for storage and/or maintenance of privately owned aircraft used for personal flights.
A private aircraft hangar is a large shed or other shelter used for storage, maintenance, and/or repair of aircraft owned privately by individuals or groups of individuals for personal, private, or discretionary use. The hangar may be shared by multiple private owners.
An individual owner or a group of private owners can use the hangar. Shared ownership does not make the aircraft commercially operated.
A business aircraft hangar supports an organization's own aircraft use. The private category retains personal or discretionary use by individuals.
