12 Requested Action Committee endorsement of the General Aviation and Heliport Use Survey Report

13 Vertical Flight Update Air Transportation Technical Advisory Committee August 24, 2009 Transportation Department

14 Vertical Flight and Emergency Response Workshop (April 2, 2009) Attendees included: Municipalities Police Fire-Rescue Emergency Management EMS operators Other vertical flight operators Texas Army National Guard Federal Aviation Administration ATTAC members NCTCOG Aviation and Emergency Preparedness Staff

15 Existing Infrastructure for Future Facilities Best Practices: Elevated Surfaces Parking Garages Office Buildings Placid Tower Stemmons Place (TX88)

16 Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) President Bush s s Residence TFR Details Duration: Until Further Notice Radius: 1NM Height: Surface to 1,500

17 City Ordinances DALLAS DEVELOPMENT CODE: ORDINANCE NO Defines the requirements of a Heliport vs. Helistop Heliport - A facility for the landing and taking off of rotary wing aircraft Defines districts permitted Required off street parking spaces Outlines use of fueling services, city approval, and FAA regulations and approval Helistop - A landing pad for occasional use by rotary wing aircraft Defines districts permitted Much lower parking requirements (2 spaces) No regular scheduled stops permitted No fuel or servicing facilities permitted

18 Helicopter Emergency Lifesaver Plan (H.E.L.P) - Revised 1995 Created as a supplement to each city s Airport Emergency Plan Purpose: To assign responsibilities and plan for the efficient use of the personnel and equipment available. Mission: To assure rapid assembly and efficient deployment of available helicopter resources to assist in mitigating disasters. Operations: Helicopter support listed below: Offices of Emergency Prepardeness/Managemet Aviation Management Offices Fire and Police Departments BHTI (Bell Helicopter) *Military-only when warranted and requested from the Texas Army National Guard

19 What can we do for you? 1. Reconvening of regional committees? (H.E.L.P. etc.) 2. Understanding additional challenges and opportunities for infrastructure? 3. What the region s vertical flight system is doing well/poorly? What can we improve? 4. AWOS/ASOS needs in the region? 5. Standardized landing zone training for freeway incident management? 6. Others?

20 Vertical Flight and Emergency Response Workshop - Feedback Identification and efforts to receive funding for AWOS systems Coordination of landing zone training for incident management Continued need to develop system strategy for response, economic development, and funding opportunities

21 Vertical Flight Model Ordinances

22 Types of Ordinances Airspace Fire Protection Land Use Lighting Minimum Standards Noise Parking Permitting/Licensing Rooftop Heliports Emergency Landing

23 Regional Examples City of Fort Worth Land Use Heliports, helistops, and other facilities utilized by helicopters are allowed with the airport development zone, but may not be located within 1,000 feet of a church, library, or public park unless approved by the city council. City of Dallas Parking A minimum of four off-street parking spaces are required at a heliport. A minimum of two off-street parking spaces are required at a helistop. This ordinance also restricts scheduled stops and fuel or servicing facilities at a helistop.

24 Report Summary Report includes sampling of vertical flight ordinances from various geographic regions. Local directives work in conjunction with FAA standards, recommendations, and guidelines. Commercial districts are more tolerable of helicopter traffic than residential districts. Report will be used to assist local governments wishing to encourage or control vertical flight activity in their jurisdictions.

25 Vertical Flight Model Ordinances Requested Action Committee endorsement of: Vertical Flight Model Ordinances Report
