Grant Assurance 19 Operations and Maintenance requires the airport to ___________________________.

• A. Be operated at all times in a safe and serviceable condition
• B. Operate only during daylight hours
• C. Maintain a regional security office
• D. Hire only FAA-approved contractors

Answer: (A)

Grant Assurance 19 focuses on ongoing maintenance and safe operation of the airport. It requires that the airport be operated at all times in a safe and serviceable condition, meaning runways, taxiways, lighting, access roads, facilities, and equipment must be properly maintained and functioning so the airport can safely handle aircraft operations whenever needed. This is about continuous safety and usability, not limited hours, security office staffing, or hiring only FAA-approved contractors.
