18 Vehicle Pedestrian Deviations In FY11, there were 44 Vehicle/Pedestrian Deviation related Runway Incursions (VPD-RIs) in AWP. This is by far the highest number of all Regions. To date in FY12, there have been 18 VPD Runway Incursions in AWP. By this time last year, AWP had experienced 22 so we are doing better, but We need your vigilance as we move into spring and summer which are our peak times for V/PD RIs. Nevada Airports are doing well. NV Airports had 4 VPD-Ris in FY11. There have been 3 VPD-RI this fiscal year to date at Nevada Airports. 2 at LAS and 1 at VGT. ASDE-X snapshot of HNL VPD Runway Incursion on 2/22/12. Aircraft overflew HNL Ops Vehicle by approximately 150 feet. 18

19 Wildlife Hazard Management To date in FY12, A total of 123 wildlife strikes have been reported at or near AWP Airports. Of those, 116 occurred at Part 139 certificated airports. The remaining occurred at General Aviation (GA) airports. We strongly recommend all Part 139 certificated airports and busy GA Airports conduct a Wildlife Hazard Assessment and develop a Wildlife Hazard Management Plan even if they have not experienced a triggering event. All wildlife strikes should be reported to FAA at 19

20 Runway Safety Area Program All practicable improvements to RSAs at Part 139 airports, including NavAids related actions, must be completed by December 30, GOOD NEWS: Based on the information we have, all Part 139 Certificated Runways in Nevada meet current RSA Standards. Not So Good News: We have 30 RSA projects to be completed by the deadline. AWP program is faced with timing & funding challenges in meeting the 2015 deadline. Our ACIP, includes over $400 million in AIP funding for RSA projects. This means that other, lower priority, projects must be deferred. 20

21 Safety Management System (SMS) Airports implementation of SMS is limited to Large Hub Airport projects only until further notice. FAA-Air Traffic Organization (ATO) implementation of SMS may include any project with potential to impact operation of the National Airspace System. AWP has identified the following large hub airport projects that require further screening under the SMS process in 2012: McCarran (LAS) Two Taxiway Rehabilitations (CSPP). Honolulu (HNL) Rehabilitate Taxiway Z (design only). San Francisco (SFO) Runway 10L-28R and 10R-28L Runway Safety Areas. Los Angeles (LAX) Construct two aprons at Bradley Terminal and Taxiway T. Phoenix (PHX) Rehab Taxiway B8. Other SRMPs may be initiated by FAA-ATO. 21

22 Design Standards Update FAA is working on update to Advisory Circular 150/ , Airport Design. FAA s goal is to publish AC 150/ A by the end of Fiscal Year 12. Principal Changes are in the areas of: Chapter 3, Runway Design Chapter 4, Taxiway and Taxilane Design Declared Distances and RSA Application Runway Protection Zone (RPZ) Taxiway Design Group (TDG) Concept for Fillet Design Runway Design Code (RDC), Runway Reference Code (RRC) and Taxiway Design Group (TDG) designation Minimum separation between non-intersecting runways Runway incursion prevention geometry for new construction Consolidation of numerous runway design tables to one design requirements matrix Table 3-5 FAA is also working on updates to the Heliport Design AC and new standards for Parachute Landing Areas on airports. 22

23 National ADO Initiatives Geographic Balancing (Geo-balancing) National redistribution of resources to better serve our customers New Phoenix ADO to serve AZ and NV Phoenix office will initially report to LAX ADO LAX and SFO ADOs will exclusively serve California National SOPs under development to create consistency among ADOs 23
