This presentation provides an overview to Aviation Safety and Certification. Topics covered include: • Airport Certification

Requirements • Airport Emergency Plans• Airport Rescue

Firefighting• Runway Safety• Airport Hazards: Winter

Operations/Wildlife Hazards

• Safety Management Systems

Airport Safety and Certification

• Airports in the US are generally owned and operated by:– Local

governments– State

governments– Port Authorities– Airport

Authorities– Private Entities

US Airport System

Airport

The FAA has the authority to issue requirements for the certification and operations of certain land use airports through Part 139 of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR Part 139), which applies to airports in the United States:• Serving scheduled and unscheduled air carrier aircraft with more

than 30 seats• Serving scheduled air carrier service operations in aircraft with 9

or more seats but less than 31• The FAA Administrator requires to have a certificate

Airport Certification

The FAA ensures the national airport system is safe, efficient, and environmentally responsible and meets the needs of the traveling public

• ACM must contain operating procedures, equipment descriptions, responsibility assignments, and any other information needed by airport personnel to comply with Part 139.

• Must be current at all times, comprehensive, provide flexibility to deal with unforeseen circumstances, specify who, what, where, when tasks are performed

Airport Certification Manual

• ACM Subpart D specifies the detailed operations; Advisory Circulars aid Airport Managers in complying with FAR Part 139

– AC 150/5200-30, Airport Winter Safety and Operations– AC 150/5200-31, Airport Emergency Plan– AC 150/5200-18, Airport Safety Self-Inspection– AC 150/5200-33, Hazardous Wildlife Attractants On or Near Airports– AC 150/5200-28, Notices to Airmen (NOTAMs) for Airport Operators– AC 150/5210-20, Ground Vehicle Operations on Airports– AC 150/5340-1, Standards for Airport Markings– AC 150/5340-18, Standards for Airport Sign Systems– AC 150/5370-2, Operational Safety on Airports During Construction.

Airport Emergency Plan

• Addresses essential emergency plans to ensure the safety of the airport populace and the community in which the airport is located, in the event of an aircraft accident, natural or technological disaster (i.e. terrorism).

• Covers command and control, communications, alerts/notifications, protective actions, security and law enforcement, firefighting and rescue, medical, resource management, mutual aid, public information

• Operators of Part 139 airports must provide ARFF services during air carrier operations that require Part 139 certification

• Requirements are based on the airport index; determined by the length of air carrier aircraft and average daily departures.

– Index A: Aircraft less than 90 feet– Index B: Aircraft 90 feet to less than 126 feet– Index C: Aircraft 126 feet to less than 159

feet– Index D: Aircraft 159-less than 200 feet– Index E: Aircraft at least 200 feet

• Departures: 5 or more average daily departures

Airport Rescue Firefighting (ARFF)

Air transportation is an industry of vital economic, political, and social importance, yet fraught with the potential for catastrophe due to inherent hazards, depending on location. Among those hazards are. • Aircraft accidents (generally associated with human error)• Runway Incursions• Natural Disasters

– Tornadoes– Hurricanes– Tsunamis/floods– Lightening strikes– Winter storms– Wildlife

• Technological/Man-made Disasters– Terrorism– Passenger rage– Fire– Smuggling

Airport Hazards

Winter Operations

• Requirement of CFR Part 139.313 Snow and Ice Control, to develop:

• a snow and ice control plan,

• conduct and report runway friction surveys, and

• establish snow and ice control and removal plans

• Advisory Circular 150/5200-30

• On September 23, 1995, in Anchorage, Alaska, a flock of Canadian geese flew into a USAF AWACS that had just taken off from Elmendorf Air Force Base, resulting in the death of 24 air crewmen.

• This tragic event illustrates the impetus for 14 CFR Part 139.337, which mandates airports assess the risk and magnitude of the wildlife strike problem for their airport.

• Assessment includes comprehensive reporting of all wildlife strike incidents, assessment of wildlife on the airport, and assessment of airport wildlife habitat.

Wildlife Management

Runway Excursion: Veer off or overrun from the runway surface, during takeoff or landing, caused by any number of factors but most commonly unstable approaches and runway conditions.

Runway Safety

Runway Incursion: Any occurrence at an airport involving the incorrect presence of an aircraft, vehicle, or person on the protected area of a surface designated for the landing and takeoff of aircraft

Runway Incursions

Airport Sustainability• According the FAA airports require sustainable

actions to: reduce environmental impact, maintain high, stable levels of economic growth and achieve “social progress.” In this topic we will explore some current sustainability challenges for airports to meet local community objectives and still achieve design, planning and development goals. Are they really challenges or hidden opportunities?

Proed.erau.edu

Defining Sustainability

• Most people think sustainability and environmental are synonymous

• However, environmental impact is only one part of sustainability

• We often refer to a the “three legged stool” of sustainability which ties in with the FAA statement

PROED.ERAU.EDUPROED.ERAU.EDU

Sustainable Actions OpportunitiesSustainable Aviation Guidance Alliance (SAGA)

Reduce Environmental Impact

• Airport projects require an environmental assessment action or Categorical Exclusion (CATEX) under NEPA

• The goal of any project is to minimize, mitigate or negate the impact or even improve the airport environment– Water conservation – landscaping or low flow fixtures– Energy – solar or wind– Materials – recycled or reclaimed– Land use – wetlands or natural spaces– Air quality – CNG or electric vehicles

PROED.ERAU.EDUPROED.ERAU.EDU

Maintain High, Stable Levels of Economic Growth

• Every airport has an economic impact to the community it operates in and a responsibility to be a positive contributor

• Economically airports can improve sustainability through– Responsible economic practices – use of revenue, government funds

and creation of feasible goals– Hiring local and or DBE contractors – grounds keeping, pavement

repairs or operation of parking lots– Buying local products or incentivizing neighborhood small businesses

to work with the airport

PROED.ERAU.EDUPROED.ERAU.EDU

Achieve “Social Progress”

• Social progress is now often referred to as social equity which is simply recognizing the needs of all airport stakeholders in making airport decisions– Public awareness and education – Chamber of Commerce, tours and

civic groups– Employee well-being – pay, benefits and training. Hire local!– Local culture and heritage – local events, display museum pieces

relevant to regional history – Sustainable transportation – public transportation, electric or CNG

vehicles

PROED.ERAU.EDUPROED.ERAU.EDU

Example Sustainability Initiatives (ATL)

Meeting the Sustainability Challenge

• In airport planning and design, the opportunities are actually easy to identify and incorporate

• Development or expansion may offer challenges but with proper planning sustainability can also be integrated

• The photo on the right is of Changi Airport in Singapore

PROED.ERAU.EDUPROED.ERAU.EDU

Example Sustainability Trifectas

• New buildings or terminals – Consider LEED certified/energy efficient design– Low flow water fixtures/wastewater reuse– Purchasing of local products– Hiring local contractors/DBEs– Efficient use of space for employees and customers– Integrate local features or space for exhibits

PROED.ERAU.EDUPROED.ERAU.EDU

PROED.ERAU.EDUPROED.ERAU.EDU

Example Sustainability Trifectas

• Development or expansion of existing facilities– Runway, taxiway or roadway - reuse of materials such as concrete,

lighting, improve access– Building or terminal - redesign to incorporate improved low energy

lighting and natural lighting– Creation of greenspace or wetlands to offset development or

expansion– All of the above projects may incorporate local businesses and

purchasing to improve economic and social aspects.

PROED.ERAU.EDUPROED.ERAU.EDU

Mexico City’s New Sustainable Airport

New Sustainability Definition

• Airport Sustainability is more accurately defined as a holistic approach to managing an airport by ensuring the integrity of the – economic and operational

efficiencies,– natural resource conservation – and social responsibility of the

airport. • Meeting all the needs does not have to

be difficult!
