Avgas An aviation fuel used in spark-ignited internal-combustion engines to propel aircraft. Avgas is distinguished from mogas (motor gasoline), which is everyday gasoline used in motor vehicles and some light aircraft. Common Use The flexible and shared use of airport facilities through shared technology and infrastructure Conveyance The transfer of ownership or interest in real estate or real property from one person or entity to another by a legally acceptable document. Acceptable documents include deeds, mortgages, leases, and statements of conveyance. The latter is different from a deed or lease in that it is a much simpler document, usually only one page. A statement of conveyance can also be used to transfer intangible propertyâfor example, a trademark or licenseâto someone else. Exclusive Use Property that is available to only a single tenant Preferential Use Preferential or shared-use contractual arrangements represent a shared control between the airport and the tenant(s). The tenant acknowledges that, under specified circumstances, the airport spon- sor can allow the use of the facility by other tenants. APPENDIX C Glossary
