Title 15 - Navigation and Aeronautics
Chapter 266 - Aeronautics
Section 15-66 - Actions of commissioner. Inspections.

In any case in which the commissioner refuses to issue a certificate of approval of, or license or renewal of license for, an airport, restricted landing area, heliport or other air navigation facility, or in any case in which he issues any order requiring certain things to be done or revoking any license, he shall set forth his reasons therefor and shall state the requirements to be met before such approval shall be given, license granted or order modified or changed. Any order made by the commissioner pursuant to the provisions of this chapter shall be served upon the interested persons by registered or certified mail or in person. To carry out the provisions of this chapter, the commissioner and any official or employee of the department and any state or municipal officer charged with the duty of enforcing this chapter may inspect and examine at reasonable hours any premises and the buildings and other structures thereon where airports, restricted landing areas, heliports, air schools, flying clubs or other air navigation facilities or aeronautical activities are operated or carried on. No provision of this section shall prohibit the commissioner from suspending or revoking the right of any person to pilot, or the right to any operation of any aircraft within this state, for any cause that he deems sufficient, with or without a hearing. No appeal taken from the action of the commissioner shall act as a stay of suspension or revocation except with his consent and under such conditions as he may prescribe. No service of process shall be necessary in connection with any of the prescribed activities of the commissioner. The term of any suspension or revocation shall commence upon notice thereof by the commissioner.
