The Florida Airports Council recognized the Naples Municipal Airport Water Management System Improvements and Taxiway A Extension project with the 2015 J. Bryan Cooper Environmental Award, General Aviation Airport. The winning project includes two components that provide conventional and state-of-the-art solutions for waterquality and noise issues. Airport ponds were reconfigured to improve pollutant filtering and discourage wildlife, which pose a threat to aircraft. Taxiway A was extended to encourage aircraft to use the full length of the runway, so that aircraft are flying higher when they leave airport property. Kerry Keith, Director of Planning and Facilities, was appointed to the Florida Airports Council s Board of Directors for a three (3) year term. CONGRATS KERRY!

3 P A G E 3 IT S A BIRD IT S A PLANE NOPE IT S A DRONE! Before you take that drone out for a flight, check out This website provides information to the public on what they need to know before they use/fly a drone. The paragraphs below were copied from the website: Know Before You Fly is an education campaign founded by the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI), the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA), and the Small UAV Coalition in partnership with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to educate prospective users about the safe and responsible operation of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). As excitement and enthusiasm continues to grow around UAS, and the regulatory framework continues to take shape, more consumers are looking to buy UAS for personal use and more businesses are looking to use UAS too. These prospective operators want to fly, and fly safely, but many don t realize that, just because you can buy a UAS, doesn t mean you can fly it anywhere, or for any purpose. Know Before You Fly provides prospective users with the information and guidance they need to fly safely and responsibly. GROUP MEETINGS, ETC.
