by Mortgagor of each of the covenants and conditions set forth below:
The conditions of this mortgage are as follows:
To secure payment of all sums due hereunder and under any other obligation given by Mortgagor to Mortgagee, Mortgagor does hereby
grant, convey and mortgage unto said Mortgagee the herein described property to have and to hoid the same forever, provided that if said

IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF
CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
CIVIL ACTION NO. 01-4097 EQ
IN EQUITY
MOTION TO DISMISS PLAINTIFF'S
AMENDED MOTION FOR PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION
NOW COMES, Susquehanna Area Regional Airport Authority ("SARAA"), by and
through its undersigned counsel, and files this Motion to Dismiss BAA Harrisburg, Inc.'s
Amended Motion for Preliminary Injunction, stating as follows:
1. Plaintiff BAA Harrisburg, Inc. ("BAAH") initiated this action on July 2, 2001. In
its Complaint, BAAH alleges that SARAA improperly terminated the Agreement for
Management, Operation and Maintenance of Harrisburg International Airport and Capital City
Airport (the "Agreement") between the parties.
2. On July 2, 2001, this Court heard argument and created a record with respect to
BAAH's Motion for Special Injunction. At that proceeding, counsel for SARAA introduced as
"SARAA Exhibit 1" the Airport Operating Certificate issued by the FAA and currently in effect
394165.1
for the operation of the Harrisburg International Airport ("HIA"). Without a valid FAA Airport
Operating Certificate, an entity, such as BAAH, is prohibited from operating an airport. See 14
C.F.R. §101.
3. In obvious recognition that it cannot operate the airport without a valid Airport
Operating Certificate, on July 3, 2001, BAAH filed an Amended Motion for Preliminary
Injunction. In this document, BAAH alleges that SARAA procured the FAA Airport Operating
Certificate through "fraudulent representations to BAAH and concealment of its actions...",
(Amended Motion for Preliminary Injunction, ~]36), and at the time that application was made,
SARAA did not have sufficient employees to "perform safety, maintenance and operations" at
the Airports, (Amended Motion for Preliminary Injunction, ¶44). By making such allegations,
BAAH is necessarily asking this Court to determine whether the FAA Airport Operating
Certificate was properly issued.
4. BAAH is now asking this Court to order SARAA to reverse a decision of the
FAA and have the FAA issue an Airport Operating Certificate so that BAAH can operate the
Airports.
5. Without the proper FAA issued Airport Operating Certificate, BAAH cannot
operate the Airports. Thus, even if this Court were to find that as a matter of state law that
SARAA improperly terminated the Agreement - which it did not - BAAH cannot operate the
Airports with out the FAA Airport Operating Certificate. Since this Court lacks jurisdiction to
issue the Certificate or consider challenges to the issuance of the Certificate, BAAH's Motion
must be dismissed.
2
6. This Court lacks jurisdiction to issue the Airport Operating Certificate necessary
for BAAH to obtain the relief that it seeks.
7. The FAA, by issuing the Airport Operating Certificate to SARAA, has already
determined that SAP, AA can safely operate the airport.
8. In its Amended Motion for Preliminary Injunction, BAAH suggests that the
Airport Operating Certificate was improperly issued. To the extent Plaintiff seeks to challenge
the method by which the Airport Operating Certificate was issued, such challenge must be made
to the FAA, with judicial review by thc Federal Courts of Appeals, and not this Court since the
FAA and Federal Courts are vested with exclusive jurisdiction in this area.
9. Federal law preempts conflicting state law with respect to airport and aviation
safety. Since federal law preempts conflicting state law and regulation as it relates to aviation
safety, this Court lacks the authority to issue any order contrary to the FAA's decision to issue
the Airport Operating Certificate to SARAA, including, an order requiring SARAA to overturn
the FAA's decision on who should operate the Airports. As such, BAAH's Amended Motion for
Preliminary Injunction must be dismissed.
10. The irreparable harm alleged by BAAH either no longer exists, is outside the
jurisdiction of this Court, or was waived by BAAH, and, as such, BAAH's Amended Motion for
Preliminary Injunction should be dismissed.
11. Since federal law preempts conflicting state law on issues concerning airport and
aviation safety and since all decisions concerning aviation safety, particularly questions
concerning who can safely operate an airport, are lefl to the FAA, to be reviewed only by the
Federal Courts of Appeals, this Court should decline to consider any issues related to airport or
aviation safety and instead defer to the FAA and the Federal Courts of Appeals.
12. BAAH and SARAA have expressly agreed that neither party can recover
consequential damages - such as alleged damages to reputation - in an action under the
Agreement. See (Agreement, ¶24.04)? Since damages to reputation constitute indirect or
consequential damages expressly precluded by the plain language of the contract between the
parties, and, as a matter of law, BAAH cannot obtain injunctive relief on this basis.
WHEREFORE, SARAA respectfully requests that this Court dismiss BAAH's Amended
Motion for Preliminary Injunction on the alleged bases that the FAA improperly issued the
airport operating certificate, aviation safety, and/or harm to BAAH's reputation or goodwill.
