Lutz Restricted Landing Area Airport

The specific reason for its official de-listing is not publicly documented. For a private, restricted-use airstrip, such a change is typically an administrative decision made by the landowner. Common reasons include the owner no longer flying, selling the property, or wishing to eliminate the liability and administrative requirements associated with having a registered landing area. The closure was not the result of a major accident, commercial economic failure, or military conversion.

The site remains a well-defined and maintained grass airstrip located adjacent to a farmhouse and agricultural buildings. The land is part of an active farm. While officially considered 'closed' from a registry standpoint, the physical condition of the runway suggests it may still be usable for private purposes at the landowner's discretion. The property is private and not accessible to the public.

Lutz Restricted Landing Area was a private airstrip serving a family farm, likely Lutz Farms, in a rural agricultural area. Its operations would have been exclusively for private use, such as recreational flying by the owner or for purposes related to the agricultural business (e.g., aerial crop inspection, personal transportation). Its significance is primarily local, representing one of the thousands of private farm strips that have supported general aviation and agriculture across the American Midwest.

There are no known plans or prospects to 'reopen' the airport in an official capacity (i.e., re-registering it with the FAA or state aviation authorities). As a private airstrip, its use and future are determined solely by the landowner.
