24 Va. Admin. Code § 5-20-170
Any person owning property utilized for landing aircraft that is solely for private or personal use, and which is not open to the general public, shall be required only to register the landing area if it is not within five nautical miles of a licensed public-use airport. Registration shall be accomplished on forms provided by the department.
Any person establishing private or personal airports within five nautical miles of a licensed public-use airport shall be licensed if the applicant airport does not pose a hazard to the airspace and utilization by aircraft of the licensed public-use airport in question. Licenses for private-use airports that are within five nautical miles of a licensed public-use airport shall be issued once, and do not have to be renewed.
Prior to final registration or licensing of a private or personal airport, the applicant airport shall provide to the department written information from the local government having jurisdiction over such airport that such airport has received approval from the locality with respect to zoning, special use permit, or any other land use requirements.
Aircraft landing at these landing areas and nonpublic-use airports shall have prior approval of the landowners or controlling agency when reasonably practical. Aircraft landing at other than licensed airports without such prior approval shall not be removed therefrom without the consent of the owner or lessee of such property.
