Dallas/Fort Worth InternatIonal has launched a major terminal upgrade program that will take eight years and up to $2 billion to finish, resulting in the complete renovation of the airport’s four original terminals — A, B, C and E — all of which opened in 1974.

Funding for the program will come from

bond sales, available capital and other sources, officials said.

In announcing the Terminal Development Program, airport CEO Jeff Fegan, A.A.E., noted that, while the terminals have served the airport well, “their internal systems need replacement.” He added that, “The renovation of these terminals

is critical for the airport’s long-term outlook, because this project will keep DFW highly attractive to customers and cost-effective for airlines well into the 21st century.”

The ambitious program will incorporate environmental sustainability and better use of space and improved passenger flow, in addition

to more modern passenger amenities, airport officials said.

Renovation of passenger areas in all four terminals, including ticketing, security and concessions, will highlight the renovation project. Terminal systems such as electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling, security and telecommunications will be replaced.

“A great deal has changed since these terminals were designed in the 1960s, including vastly different modern requirements for security and customer services,” noted Jim Crites, the airport’s vice president-operations. “The renovated terminals will be very customer focused, so we

should see big gains in customer satisfaction, as well as operational efficiency and revenues.”

To begin the ambitious program, the airport’s board of directors in September 2009 approved the first major expenditure: a $20.75 million package for URS Corp. of Dallas to begin the preliminary design work.

RENEWING DFW

With a major upgrade program well

underway for all four terminals, DFW

is grooming itself for both travelers

and carriers.

The Skylink automated people mover system opened in 2005.


Current plans call for construction to begin in early 2011, following Super Bowl XLV in Arlington, Texas. Terminal A will be completed first — sometime in 2014 — and the entire project is planned to be finished by the end of 2017. Construction will be phased, with one-third of each terminal to be shut down at one time.

Design concepts call for the concessions areas to be consolidated into villages similar to the airport’s International Terminal D, which opened in 2005 at a cost of $1.2 billion.

“We certainly know that International Terminal D works extremely well,” Fegan stated.

International Terminal D, with 2 million square feet of space, was designed by the team

of HKS Inc., Corgan Associates Inc. and HNTB, and uses “intuitive wayfinding” to lead passengers through the building from the ticketing halls to the gates. Constructed by Austin Commercial, the building includes many moving walkways, elevators and escalators to help passengers maneuver through the terminal. Amenities include concessions areas in both pre- and post-security locations,

live performance venues, children’s play areas and art elements. The Skylink automated people mover system, which also opened in 2005, is accessible at two stations in the terminal, and an 8,100-space garage features smart parking technology, among other passenger conveniences. A 298-room Grand Hyatt Hotel is integrated into International Terminal D.

The Terminal Development Program is a major part of the airport’s master plan, which also includes accommodating regional rail service from both the Dallas Area Rapid Transit and the Fort Worth Transportation Authority and participating in area highway renovation projects, among other initiatives. (See sidebar, page 13.) A

Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport is located halfway between the cities of Dallas and Fort Worth. Covering more than 29.8 square miles, with real property of 18,076 acres, the airport offers nearly 1,750 flights per day that serve 57 million passengers a year.

Eighteen commercial airlines, including seven international carriers, provide nonstop service to 138 domestic and 38 international destinations. Twenty-four cargo carriers transport 634,694 U.S. tons annually from DFW. The airport has seven active runways, ranging from 8,500 feet to 13,400

feet long, and the ability to land four aircraft simultaneously.

According to figures from the Texas DOT, the airport impacts the North Texas economy by more than $16 billion annually, while providing more than 300,000 jobs.

Among its awards, the airport in 2007 was honored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for its environmental leadership. Further, the airport in 2009 was named to EPA’s Top 20 Local Government List of the largest green power purchasers.

DFW first opened Jan. 13, 1974, as Dallas/Fort Worth Regional Airport.

DFW Trade Zone Under New RulesThe DFW Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) is one of the nation’s first authorized by the U.S. Department of Commerce to operate under new and streamlined procedures designed to make domestic business more competitive internationally, the airport announced in January 2010.

An FTZ is an area designated by the federal government as outside of U.S. Customs and Border Protection territory. Foreign trade zones encourage domestic investment and the creation of American jobs by allowing area businesses to operate under customs guidelines similar to those governing business conducted in a foreign country.

Businesses operating with FTZ designation typically obtain relief from paying Customs duties and tariffs, which in turn lowers the cost of engaging in international trade. Foreign trade zones are established in or adjacent to U.S. ports of entry and operate under the supervision of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

Under the new procedures, the six-county DFW area (Dallas, Tarrant, Collin, Denton, Grayson and Rockwall counties) has been pre-approved by the federal government as eligible FTZ property.

With the agreement of local officials, the federal government will provide any eligible business with a foreign trade zone designation on an expedited and simplified basis. The designation process, which historically has taken more than a year, now will take less than 45 days and carry only a nominal expense.


Deicing Best Management Practices at Grand Rapids

By Thomas Ecklund, P.E.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) proposal to

set minimum standards for aircraft and airfield deicing

operations at U.S. airports has raised questions about whether

a “one-size-fits-all” approach is workable or necessary.

Winter Operations

At Michigan’s Gerald R. Ford International, we continue to work to enhance our best management practices (BMP) approach, which provides our tenants with a reasonable level of flexibility that facilitates their primary focus on flight safety while also reducing and managing overall deicing chemical usage to protect our local environment.

Our airport sits on 3,300 acres in Kent County, Mich., just to the southeast of the city of Grand Rapids. The airport’s three runways are 8R/26L (10,000 feet), 17/35 (8,500 feet) and 8L/26R (5,000 feet). Total operations in 2009 were approximately 87,900. Located just 35 miles from Lake Michigan, Ford International is at the tail end of the annual November-March “lake effect” snow machine. Over the last 10 years, we have averaged 82 inches of snow annually.

Since 2000, our airport has operated under an individual National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit administered by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Environment (DNRE). In Michigan, EPA has delegated regulatory control to the DNRE. While the debate surrounding EPA’s proposed effluent limit guidelines is ongoing, we receive our guidance from the state DNRE.

Our permit requirements are met by a team comprised of airport staff, our environmental consultant team and our tenants, all of whom share responsibility for supervising and operating a system of controls and practices. The foundation of our deicing management program is a system of source reduction, deicing runoff collection and recycling, and BMPs that prevent or minimize the introduction of aircraft deicing materials to stormwater runoff.

The source reduction practices include storage procedures for deicing materials, spill management education, and education and training of employees, contractors and tenants. Controls on aircraft deicing activities are focused both on protecting flight safety — the overarching priority — and environmental protection by encouraging efficient material application, while containing runoff where aircraft deicing occurs.

The BMP portion of our program focuses on isolating

deicing runoff. We have done this primarily through the installation of catch basin inserts at designated deicing locations. Our GA/business tenants have limited deicing locations on the general aviation ramps. We have allowed our commercial airlines to deice at the gate, or on the main terminal ramp.

We currently have 41 inserts installed in catch basins. An insert is fabricated to the exact dimensions of a specific catch basin. It consists of a surface-mounted grate welded to a holding pan that is approximately 12 inches below the surface of the ramp. The insert has a valve that allows the catch basin to be closed when deicing occurs; thus allowing us to capture the glycol-impacted runoff for recycling. The shallow depth of the holding pan allows for impacted runoff to be stored on the surface of the ramp, which maximizes our collection efforts.

Our operations staff monitors weather conditions and proposed airline schedules to open and close the inserts. Collection is done by mobile vacuum units pulled by tractors. We have three units, with two in operation at all times. Each operator has a portable refractometer that measures the percent of glycol present. If the runoff exceeds 1 percent, it is collected and transferred to storage tanks, where it is collected by a contractor and recycled.

Control of glycol-impacted snow on the ramp is a constant challenge. Airlines typically leave deicing issues up to the pilot. While we want aircraft to push back and deice in areas already cleared of snow (to maximize our collection efficiency), some pilots insist on deicing at the gate, or they push back into an area not yet plowed.

Cooperation with the airlines and their pilots has improved over the years, and pilots usually will move to a cleared area, if they can and still meet their schedule. We have two areas that are used for the storage of glycol-impacted snow. These are paved areas where the snow can melt and drain into a catch basin that has an insert. Depending on the rate of the snowfall and the amount of airline activity on the ramp, use of these areas is not always possible. Since our primary emphasis is on clearing snow to allow aircraft to move from the terminal ramp onto the airfield, we will forego the use of the snow storage areas if necessary.

Our glycol collection efficiency has increased since the start of our program in 2000. We collected 6 percent our first year and 13.9 percent our second year. The average has been 24 percent, with a high of 34 percent.

Source control is another identified BMP. As noted already, we have designated deicing locations that allow us to collect and recycle glycol-impacted runoff. FedEx has a cargo facility at our airport, and the company has used a hybrid deicing truck for the last four years. This unit combines the glycol with hot water and sprays it using pressurized forced air. This has allowed the

AirportMAgAzine.net | APRIL/MAY 2010


company to reduce its glycol use. Ford International also replaced

ethylene glycol and urea-based pavement deicers with potassium acetate and sodium formate products that have a lower biological oxygen demand (BOD) — a measure used to determine water quality — and do not contain nitrogen. Further, the airport has improved the efficiency for using pavement deicers through proactive anti-icing and plowing prior to chemical application. In addition, we have made sodium formate available to tenants to ensure that they have a source for environmentally friendly airside pavement deicing material.

Aircraft deicing BMPs that have been promoted by the airport to maximize application efficiency include: preheating fluid to maximize its effectiveness; managing aircraft movement to minimize accumulating frost, snow or ice on “remain overnight” aircraft; using two-step deicing and anti-icing procedures to reduce total volumes of deicing and anti-icing materials required; and blending fluid mixtures to current weather conditions (blending to temperature). Beginning in 2002, all carriers and FBOs switched to propylene glycol-based products to facilitate recycling the deicing runoff collected at the airport.

Pre-season and post-season education is also an important BMP in our program. Prior to the start of the snow season, all airport maintenance employees train on the use of the collection units and typical airline practices. We also meet with our tenants to go over the program, highlight any changes, and reinforce the need for cooperation and communication in order to continue to improve our collection performance. We have a post-season debriefing with the airlines and air traffic control staff to discuss what worked and what didn’t work. This meeting also is used to discuss communication issues and

areas of improvement for the next year’s program.

We are required to monitor material usage and water quality throughout the snow season. Material use is monitored on a monthly basis; this includes all tenants and maintenance staff. Deliveries are tracked, and the use of both liquid and solid chemicals is reported on a monthly basis.

Water quality as it leaves our property is monitored through the use of automatic samplers. We are required to monitor during four separate snow events and for five continuous days for each. Glycol use and precipitation is tracked for each event. Water samples are tested for BOD and ammonia concentrations, dissolved oxygen and total organic carbons.

We have achieved a total load reduction in oxygen-demanding substances of more than 2 million pounds of five-day carbonaceous biochemical oxygen demand and 96,000 pounds of nitrogen during the last 10 years.

A condition of our NPDES permit is to seek ways to improve from year to year. This approach has been compared with the “adaptive

management” process used in nonpoint source programs. Nonpoint source programs are efforts to control pollution in which there is not a single source of the pollution (i.e., agricultural runoff, or urban runoff from streets and parking lots). Since a single source cannot be determined, it is often a trial and error effort to find the best solution.

This approach allows us to imple-ment strategies for improvement, monitor and report their success/failure, evaluate and design changes, and modify our BMP program accordingly.

Our blended approach results in a reasonable and effective program and a commitment to try to improve each and every year. The airport’s deicing management program has demonstrated the effectiveness of BMPs to control deicing materials. The airport continues to work with the Michigan DNRE to effectively manage deicing runoff and satisfy the requirements of flight safety and environmental compliance.

Airports Voice Concern Over Deicing Proposal

AAAE has submitted comments to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on proposed new standards for limiting deicing fluid runoff at commer-cial airports.

EPA’s proposal would establish standards for the amount of aircraft deicing fluid (ADF) that commercial service airports must recapture and prevent from entering wastewater runoff. AAAE expressed concern that the standards would put undue financial burdens and create safety hazards at many airports.

Under the proposed regulation, airports with more than 10,000 annual aircraft departures and 1,000 annual jet departures would be required to capture fluid.

The recapture standards would vary based on the amount of ADF used each year, with heavy users required to recapture 60 percent of all fluid. In addition, airports determined to have “new sources” of pollution, such as new or extended runways, would be required to meet the highest standards.

A copy of AAAE’s comments can be viewed at http://www.aaae.org/_pdf/_govpdf/AAAE-%20ELG%20Final%20Comments%20Feb%2023%202010.pdf.

Montreal Trudeau International officials in late 2008 decided to replace the airport’s aging fleet of snow removal equipment with the twin goals of increasing runway capacity during snowstorms and reducing down time during snow removal operations.

More than 12 feet of snow fell on Montreal during the winter of 2007-2008 — almost 80 percent more than average, a strong incentive for the airport to act.

As a major hub for air traffic between Canada and Europe, the airport’s 40 air carriers transport more than 12 million passengers annually. With more than 225,000 aircraft movements each year, the airport’s operations crew works hard to keep snow from disrupting flight operations and

long has been recognized for its expertise in clearing snow. In 2008, Montreal-Trudeau received its second Balchen/Post Award, sponsored by the Northeast Chapter-AAAE, for outstanding achievements in airport snow and ice control.

As replacement equipment, the airport ordered 13 Oshkosh H-Series vehicles, including six multi-function apparatus with plows and towing brooms; six blowers, including three high-speed models; and five Oshkosh H-Series multi-tasking units, including three with high-speed blowers and two with front plows. In addition, two airport service technicians attended fleet service training and advanced electronics classes. Eagle Airfield, the Oshkosh dealer for Canada, supported the deployment of

the new equipment and the training of personnel.

Having this level of trained staff significantly improves the airport’s ability to self-manage and support its fleet operations to their greatest capabilities.

While the airport has kept its overall snow operation procedures and processes in place, the larger capacity removal equipment significantly improved snow removal efficiency and helped reduce snow and ice clearing times.

“Runway clearance times have been reduced from 25 minutes to 12 minutes — a greater than 50 percent reduction in time,” said Sylvain Marchand, airfield supervisor, Aéroports de Montréal (ADM), the main airport authority in the Montreal area. “Time to clear both runways and taxiways has been reduced from 45 minutes to 20-25 minutes.”

This significant reduction in plowing time increases the airport’s capacity, allows greater flexibility in moving aircraft during a snow event and helps airlines save fuel as runways are out of commission for shorter periods of time during snow removal operations. This is especially critical at peak times during major snowstorms.

“Snow removal technology has improved tremendously, and better performing snow blowers have significantly reduced operating times,” said Sylvain Coron, assistant director of operations for ADM.

Montreal Trudeau officials are committed to serving their airline customers. Airfield supervisors constantly monitor demands for maintenance and remain in frequent contact with the airlines to ensure their needs are being met, particularly when winter storms threaten to disrupt flight schedules.

“The airlines have been very happy. The results of having this new equipment are very transparent,” said Coron. “The units utilize the latest technology and are very efficient.” A

Thinking about that Yogi-ism, I thought it would be more appli-

Airport Wildlife ManagementThe Road Taken

By John Ostrom, C.M.


WILDLIFe MANAGeMeNt

Ever since that fateful Jan. 15, 2009, when US Airways Flight 1549 struck a flock of Canadian geese and went into New York’s Hudson River, there has been a flurry of commotion and activity concerning airports, wildlife, and what is being done, and in some cases not being done, to mitigate the hazards.

In one way or another, we all have been affected by this event. For those of us in the airport operations business, we’ve struggled with the overwhelming flood of govern-ment guidance, policy changes, federal reviews and the microscopic scrutiny placed upon us by the public and media. Even though this accident was not a “tombstone” event, we’ve felt the considerable effects of actions taken and directives placed on us.

With the splash heard around the world, airport wildlife hazard management was no longer the younger, and often ignored, sibling of winter operations, emergency manage-ment and runway safety in the Part 139 family. Wildlife, and the hazards and risks it poses to aviation, has been brought to the forefront and needs to be addressed by every airport operator in the country, if not the world. The questions before us are: where are we going, and how do we get there?

But to map where we are going, we need to understand where we have been. It was George Santayanna, an early 20th century poet and philosopher, who wrote, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”

Ever since the dawn of flight, wildlife has been a threat to the safety and well-being of those who fly. Over the years, wildlife has taken hundreds of lives and caused billions of dollars worth of damage to the aviation industry. US Airways Flight 1549 wasn’t the first significant bird strike that resulted in double engine ingestion, and it won’t be the last. Two other examples of significant strikes that ended up

leading to regulatory changes in our industry are:On Feb. 22, 1999, a Delta 757 during takeoff from •Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International struck a flock of European starlings. Both engines sus-tained substantial damage from ingesting the birds. On March 4, 1999, a USA Jet Airlines DC-9 on final •approach to Kansas City International struck a flock of snow geese. Both engines were severely dam-aged, resulting in one shutting down and the sec-ond retaining enough power for the crew to safely land the aircraft.

Later that year, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) issued nine safety recommendations (A-99-86 through -94) to FAA as a result of these two separate bird strike incidents. Upon receiving FAA’s responses to the safety recommendations, NTSB closed out all nine recommendations with six acceptable and three unac-ceptable responses. The three recommendations that were deemed to have unacceptable responses from FAA were:

A-99-088 — Require that wildlife hazard assess-•ments be conducted at all Part 139 airports.A-99-089 — Require the development of a wildlife •hazard management program for all airports deter-mined to need one as a result of a wildlife hazard assessment.A-99-091 — Require all airport operators to report •bird strikes to FAA.

Ten years later, history repeated itself as US Airways Flight 1549 hit the flock of Canadian geese and signifi-cantly damaged both engines.

On Jan. 14, 2010, FAA released the fact sheet titled Wildlife Hazard Mitigation Program, which listed the fol-lowing initiatives the agency has undertaken to moderate the wildlife hazard problem:

Opened the National Wildlife •Strike Database to the public. Issued a certification alert to air-•port operators on June 11, 2009, reminding them of their obliga-tion under Part 139 to conduct a wildlife hazard assessment if they experience a “triggering event” described in 139.337 (b). Conducted a review of the •National Wildlife Strike Database that found almost 40 percent of strikes that occur are being reported, and that mandatory strike reporting is not required. Redesigned the Wildlife Hazard •Mitigation Web site. Expanded the current research •related to bird radar technology.

The fact sheet also identified This Embraer 145 sustained a bird strike from what is believed to have been a Canada goose.

some of FAA’s future initiatives, which include:Plans to issue a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in •2010 to make wildlife hazard assessments manda-tory at all Part 139 airports, regardless of whether a “triggering event” has occurred.Plans to develop a program to conduct wildlife •hazard assessments at approximately 2,000 general aviation airports.Development of software that would allow anyone to •file a strike report using handheld mobile devices.

So, where do we go from here? As airport operators, our direction is simple because our destination is dictated by regulation and policy guidance. Part 139.337 clearly states, “The certificate holder must take immediate action to allevi-ate wildlife hazards when they are detected.” It goes on to describe the requirements for conducting a wildlife hazard assessment and the subsequent development and imple-mentation of a wildlife hazard management plan, which is our destination. Although not simple, these two documents are not complicated either, but they are complex and require thought and work when creating them.

With the adoption of the revised Part 139 in 2004, FAA required that a wildlife hazard assessment be conducted by a “qualified wildlife damage management biologist.” The issuance of Advisory Circular 150/5200-36 in 2006 defined the education, experience and training require-ments for those “qualified” biologists.

In 2009, FAA pushed harder for airports to conduct wildlife hazard assessments. This push was coupled with a more liberal approach toward using AIP money to con-duct the assessments and further restrictions on using USDA Wildlife Services (WS) to conduct those assess-ments. It led to a flood of private biologists and contrac-tors scrambling to meet FAA’s requirements and secure a lucrative airport contract.

In the past, airports were allowed and encouraged to contract directly with WS to conduct an assessment, thus guaranteeing them the services of a “qualified” biologist. As a result of the 2009 changes, airports now were faced with the almost impossible task of trying to vet the quali-fications of every private biologist who responded to a request for proposal.

In the summer of 2009, FAA issued guidance for using AIP dollars in the form of Program Guidance Letter 09-01 – Eligibility of Wildlife Hazard Assessments and Program Information Memorandums, PIM2 – Stand-Alone grants for Wildlife Hazard Studies at Part 139 Certificated Airports, and PIM 3 – Use of USDA for Wildlife Hazard Assessment Studies. This guidance did clear up some of the confusion experienced by airports, but did nothing to alleviate the daunting task of vetting potential “qualified” biologists.

While there has been considerable confusion surround-

ing wildlife hazard assessments, nothing has changed with Part 139’s requirements for wildlife hazard manage-ment plans. FAA still holds that it is the airport operator’s responsibility to create and implement a plan using the wildlife hazard assessment as a foundation.

As you can see, our destination is fairly clear. As air-port operators, we are required to mitigate wildlife haz-ards whenever they are found through the development and use of a wildlife hazard assessment and wildlife hazard management plan. So how do we get there, you ask. I would recommend that you consider the following roadmap as you move forward with your wildlife hazard management program:

1. Realize that you’re not in this alone. This is a problem that you as an airport cannot solve by yourself. You will need to include your tenants,

users and local experts to help develop solutions and practices that work best to mitigate the wildlife problems at your airport. It’s all about expectations. Make sure that you know what they expect, and make sure that they know what you expect. From this foundation, you can start to develop a mutually acceptable program with clear, well-defined objectives and metrics.

2. Talk with your certification inspector. Ask him/her what other airports are doing and obtain copies of their wildlife hazard assessments and

management plans. Remember, on the operations side, plagiarism is the highest form of flattery.

3. Establish contact with your state WS office. These people are the experts in wildlife damage management, so take advantage of their expertise

and ask them to come to your airport for a site visit. This is usually a free, one-day visit during which a qualified wildlife biologist will look at your airport and, talk with you about wildlife attractants on and off your airport, and wildlife species and hazards seen during the visit. Further, the biologist will perform an analysis of wildlife strike data for your airport. The biologist will follow up the visit with specific recommendations on how to start mitigating your wildlife problems immediately.

4. Attend one of AAAE’s three-day wildlife courses. Experts in airport operations and wildlife management have developed three comprehensive

courses for AAAE for anyone interested or actively involved in an airport’s wildlife management program. The Airport Wildlife Techniques Course is hands-on training that introduces participants to the tools and terminology used in an airport wildlife management program. The Airport Wildlife Manager’s Course is designed for individuals who are responsible for the oversight of an airport’s wildlife management program and focuses on the development of an airport wildlife hazard assessment and management plan. The Airport Wildlife Trainer’s Course builds on the foundation of the techniques course and is designed for those responsible for implementing the airport wildlife management program and training others.

5. Attend a Bird Strike Conference. AAAE, Salt Lake City International and Bird Strike Committees USA and Canada are hosting the 2010 Bird Strike Conference

on June 21-24, 2010, in Salt Lake City. This three-day conference is an excellent opportunity to meet with and hear from airport wildlife management experts around the world.

6. There are a lot of online resources, but if you start with these two, they’ll link you to many others: Bird Strike Committee USA, www.Birdstrike.

org; and FAA Wildlife Strike Database, http://wildlife-mitigation.tc.faa.gov/wildlife.

7. Give me a call, or send me an e-mail. If you find yourself stumped and don’t know where to look or who to ask, let me know, and I’ll do my best to

get you started in the right direction.

Christopher Columbus once said, “By prevailing over all obstacles and distractions, one may unfailingly arrive at his chosen goal or destination.” The key to any suc-cessful journey or program is to know where you’re going and how you want to get there. If you use the road map I’ve provided, you’ll soon be on your way to developing a successful airport wildlife management program. A

Dream Five:Determined to act on lessons learned, Oliver Neversleep got on the phone and asked how much funding he could receive to implement everything to protect the airport. As luck would have it, a grant program had the necessary funds he needed, but he had to apply and maintain

rigorous audit requirements. Again, following procurement procedures but also checking with his attorney regarding civil liberties, Neversleep implemented every countermeasure he could think of and then some.

The CCTV was beefed up with intelligent surveillance software to aid the live monitors, and the miles-

long fence was strung with sensor wire. Redundant independent motion radar pods were placed all around the airfield as well. Access control pro-cedures were strengthened, and new biometric ID badges were issued, com-plete with background checks. State-of-the-art CBRNE detectors were installed both airside and landside, casting a wide dragnet over Duffer’s Muni. The revised written security plan contained the necessary command and control functions, updated response and recovery procedures and continuity of operations protocols.

Neversleep reviewed the 12 les-sons he had learned thus far and shared those with airport tenants to ensure everyone would benefit from his knowledge. Now having spent untold millions, Neversleep was con-vinced more than ever his airport was tighter than Fort Knox. Being satisfied the countermeasures were in place, Neversleep treated himself to dinner, then went home to get some rest.

A beautiful sunrise awoke Oliver

The Defense of Duffer’s Municipal Airport

(editor’s Note: The following article is part two of a fictional story, and the views expressed in it are strictly those of the author. Part one of the story ran in the February/march issue of Airport Magazine. The entire article is posted on the Airport Magazine Web site, www.airportmagazine.net.)

iNTroDucTioNErnest Swinton’s 1905 novella, “The Defence of Duffer’s Drift,” is a military classic on small tactics and, while fictional, is loosely based on the experiences learned during the Boer War against Great Britain at the end of the 19th century. In successive dreams that have the same starting point, a young British officer is permitted to learn from his mistakes in each previous dream, remembering only the lessons. Eventually he succeeds in the objective assigned to him. Written in tribute to Swinton, “The Defense of Duffer’s Municipal Airport,” though considerably shorter and obviously less eloquent, is a similar story, except that Duffer’s Municipal Airport (DFA) is a general aviation airport located very near Lalaland, and the new airport manager is given the task of defending it.

the next morning and, for the first time in a long time, he had managed a full night’s rest. Convinced the new security initiatives were adequate, he now could turn his attention

to the other potential threats the airport faced. Shortly after lunch, however, Oliver’s pager and mobile phone went off simultaneously. The caller IDs were blocked, and he knew something was up. Just as his desktop phone began to ring, his secretary ran in to tell him there was an urgent call from the sheriff. The sheriff told Neversleep that the cap-tain of a fractional aircraft had been found bound and gagged in his hotel room, and two men had stolen his uniform, credit cards, ID badge and flight bag. Deputies went to check on the first officer and found him incapacitated as well, and all his belongings were stolen. According to the flight attendant who alerted law enforcement, the crew was at least an hour late.

“Have deputies meet me at the FBO,” Oliver told the sheriff, and he rushed out of his office. The CSR at the FBO desk told Neversleep that a captain had paid for fuel some 30 minutes ago, and the aircraft, a midsize jet, had taken off 20 min-

utes later. She thought the captain was a bit hurried but otherwise appeared very familiar with check-in procedures. She asked for his ID but did not get a good look at the pic-ture as it looked like a typical DMV shot; besides, the captain knew the N-number and paid with a proper credit card belonging to the fractional company. It seemed quite normal. Shocked, Oliver immediately con-tacted the tower cab and asked if the aircraft in question filed a flight plan.

ATCT said a flight plan was filed, and the aircraft was handed off to departure control according to normal procedure. Neversleep suggested they check with TRACON and give a heads-up to the authorities at the same time of a possible hijacked aircraft. Some 15 minutes now had passed, and time was critical. NORAD/NorthComm immediately scrambled F-16s upon getting the alert and, with burners on, the Falcons soon caught up with the jet. By now, the hijackers had turned off the Mode-S transponder and, more ominously, refused to communicate

with the F-16s after being intercepted. Following strict ROE and determin-ing they were over uninhabited ter-rain, the F-16s were given shoot-down orders and fired off a single AIM-120 AMRAAM from a stand-off distance, averting a potential disaster.

Back at the airport, Neversleep, having been briefed, could not believe this all started at his little airport. The adrenaline slowly sub-siding, he concluded: (13) the air-port cannot do it alone; (14) layered security is the name of the game; (15) asymmetric (non-pattern) behavior deters observation and learning; (16) there is no substitute for vetting the pilot and having proper credentials; and (17) do not wait to pass on criti-cal information. As Oliver reclined deeper into his executive chair, the pressure of the day slowly ebbed from his system. Reflecting on the day’s events, Neversleep drifted ever so gently into another dream.

The SixTh aND FiNal Dream:Neversleep sprang into action, remembering the 17 lessons but convinced that only layered security, with the aid of everyone involved, could prevent aviation from being used for nefarious purposes. First, he called the authorities and insisted they implement a stringent vetting process for pilots and allow them to be in charge of everything related to their aircraft, including security.

Second, there needed to be a high-quality ID system, as well as a bio-metric authentication and indepen-dent pass code to activate the aircraft engines. Oliver thought that if his laptop could have fingerprint authen-tication for a few hundred bucks, why not a multi-million dollar jet? This, Oliver explained, might require separating aircraft based on their kinetic and fuel-carrying capability; after all, only the larger aircraft were real threats.

Third, sensitive security informa-

tion needed to be shared with airport management, he told the feds. Why do tenants such as flight schools have access but not the airport? What if the flight school operator was a bad apple without a pilot’s license and no CHRC? Neversleep wanted intel, and he would go through the

clearance process if necessary, but he could not be a valuable partner if he were on the outside of compartmen-talization! How difficult could this be, he thought to himself?

Next, Oliver went to his tenants and suggested that they repeatedly

Going Green atGreenville-Spartanburg InternationalBy Ken Ibold

GREEN BUILDINGS


It is perhaps fitting that what is arguably one of the “greenest” airport buildings in the U.S. can be found just outside Greenville, S.C.

Owned by the Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport Commission and leased by Stevens Aviation, the new FBO building that opened in January 2010 at Greenville-Spartanburg International sets the bar for energy-efficient, sustainable design at airport buildings nationwide. Designed by Reynolds, Smith & Hills Inc. (RS&H), the building combines innovative technologies with combinations of more conventional

conservation strategies to create a building that’s both earth-friendly and money-saving.

In 1990, airport commission Chairman Roger Milliken, chair of textile manufacturer Milliken Industries, began taking a personal interest in environmental responsibility and made sure his company did, too. After the airport’s FBO building suffered substantial structural damage in a storm, Milliken wanted to take a proactive, environmentally friendly approach in replacing the facility. From the beginning of discussions on the design,

he made it clear that he wanted a building that was as environmentally friendly as possible. However, he also emphasized that the airport commission’s financial responsibility required that every single innovation had to be cost-justified.

“Our commission chairman has some experience in sustainable building systems, and he wanted to make sure this building met that goal,” said airport Manager Larry Holcombe. “We had the designers explain each system, and then we had Jeff Ross-Bain, another sustainability consultant, come

in and give us a reality check on payback times and that sort of thing. It had to make economic sense to do it. And it did.”

The building uses 30 percent less energy than a typical building of equal size. It uses 70 percent less potable water. More than 95 percent

of the waste generated during construction was recycled. The building itself contains 25 percent recycled material, including 100 percent recycled steel. All wood comes from 100 percent certified renewable forests. All interior furnishings were selected with low

volatile organic compound emissions in mind.

“To achieve this level of sustainability, we established performance goals for the project before beginning the design, and then monitored our progress to stay on track,” explained Steve Harrill, RS&H’s Building Service Group leader in the Southeast. “We identified substantial savings in operating costs, and that’s what made this project work.”

In addition to being cheaper to operate, the building is better to work in due to its air quality and natural lighting. The air quality is maintained by a variable flow refrigerant system that monitors each room. When the room is empty, fresh air flow is at the minimum allowed by code. When the room is occupied, sensors detect carbon dioxide levels and temperature and route fresh air and air conditioning as needed. Each room has its own sensors.

This technique has been used in Europe for several years, but is very new in the U.S. As an FBO, the building can expect inconsistent use of some areas, such as the pilot lounge and conference rooms

This strategy allows the system to conserve energy when the rooms are unoccupied, but to provide a quality environment when they are in use. Natural lighting is maximized. In most rooms, translucent sun shades will descend automatically, if outside light is too bright. There is also a xeriscaped outside garden to improve aesthetic appeal. A xeriscaped garden reduces or eliminates the need for supplemental irrigation.

Additional innovation is found in the restrooms. Water for toilet flushing comes from rainwater that is stored as it runs off the roof. All hot water comes from solar heat. The faucets and flush valves are automatic and photovoltaic, but they operate by ambient light and do not

need batteries or any kind of outside electrical supply. Photovoltaic is a process that converts solar radiation into direct current electricity.

At $1.25 million, the 4,964-square-foot building costs about 10 percent more than a conventional design would have. However, the increased energy efficiency alone will pay the increased capital cost in well under 10 years. Maintenance expenses are not expected to be higher than in a conventional building, with the exception of an increase in the number of HVAC system filters.

Other intangibles also should come into play. The environment may lead to improved morale and reduced turnover. General aviation aircraft operators and passengers, as well as other customers of the FBO, are likely to respond favorably to the new facility, as will local customers of the FBO’s aircraft charter business.

RS&H expects the building to achieve Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Gold certification from the U.S. Green

Building Council. However, the building would meet Platinum certification standards — the highest level — if urban amenities such as banks and restaurants were closer to the airport. As it is, the building loses a few points due to the airport’s suburban/exurban location.

“RS&H has fully embraced the benefits of sustainable design on the environment, as well as on the bottom line of the owners and operators of

the buildings we design,” Harrill said. “Sustainability is a win-win approach to building design.”

While airports are often held out as wasteful facilities by environmentalists, Greenville-Spartanburg’s new FBO building proves that airports and the environment aren’t enemies at all. A

ALA Helps To Deliver Record Funding AAAE’s Airport Legislative Alliance (ALA) staff has more than a century of combined experience advocating in Washington, D.C., on behalf of airports nationwide and delivering results that benefit airports of all sizes.

The ALA’s efforts helped to land a record $4.6 billion in AIP grants in 2009, including $1.1 billion in stimulus funding that helped to finance 360 projects at 306 airports across America.

On the security front, the ALA team in 2009 continued to have success in pressing Congress to fund important airport priorities, including more than $2 billion overall to enhance checked baggage systems and upgrade screening checkpoints. AAAE and the ALA staff are hard at work in 2010 to help shape TSA funding priorities and plans to deploy full-body scanning equipment in airports.

The ALA’s efforts to eliminate the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) penalty on airport bonds also paid significant dividends in 2009. The stimulus package provided temporary relief on the AMT penalty for both new bonds and certain bonds eligible for refinancing. In the 12 months following the stimulus package’s

passage, airports issued almost $8 billion in bonds, and more than $5.6 billion of that amount benefited from the AMT provisions, saving airports more than $600 million, FAA estimated. As mid-2010 approached, one of the ALA’s

top priorities was working with Congress to make the AMT relief permanent for eligible airport bonds — a move that would save airports billions of dollars as they finance critical infrastructure projects needed to make the U.S. airport system safer and more efficient.

Regulatory Team Tracks Key DevelopmentsAAAE’s Regulatory Affairs team continues to track the regulatory landscape closely on behalf of airports, to alert members of key developments, and to work with regulators on issues that could impact the airport industry.

In February 2010, AAAE’s Regulatory Affairs staff submitted comments on behalf of the membership in response to the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) proposal to

expand the lead air quality monitoring network. AAAE outlined several issues of concern with the proposed revisions and offered suggestions toward working with EPA to build a future that includes a more environmentally friendly alternative to leaded fuel at a rate that would not jeopardize fuel prices, unnecessarily increase costs, or sacrifice the safety of the general aviation industry.

Later in February, the regulatory affairs team submitted comments to EPA addressing concerns regarding the cost and operational implications of a proposed revision to airport deicing run-off collection requirements. AAAE noted several areas of concern on behalf of airports nationwide and will continue

to work with EPA to create an environmentally beneficial and fiscally responsible rule.

Further, AAAE’s Regulatory Affairs staff provides members with timely alerts on new rulemakings, regulatory guidance, and other developments as soon as they happen, as well as a weekly “Regulatory Roundup” summary of relevant events.

The staff continues to represent airports on key federal task forces, such as the recently concluded Tarmac Delay Task Force, and to work on joint industry efforts, such as the Sustainable Airport Guidance Alliance and the Transportation Research Board’s Airport Cooperative Research Program, to advance airport interests.

AAAE Interactive Training UnrivaledAAAE, the largest provider of interactive airport training, continues to develop its suite of products and services with the goal of solving training challenges at airports large and small.

AAAE’s on-site training continues to broaden its reach, satisfying customers in the U.S. and abroad. Recent international on-site training contracts include Abu Dhabi and West Africa.

Meanwhile, the association’s computer-based training products are unrivaled. AAAE’s patented Interactive

Employee Training (IET) is in use at 84 airports, while its ANTN Digicast Web-based training delivers on-demand courses to 205 airports, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. AAAE’s newest product, the eCISTM learning management system (LMS), designed specifically to satisfy airport training and recordkeeping requirements, has been purchased by several airports.

AAAE can deliver computer-based training to airports through its variety of learning management delivery systems. An airport may choose a single LMS training product or a combination of AAAE products. Our customized computer-based training systems — IET and eCISTM — complement each other and deliver a common

database for the management of all employee records.

The next step in development of AAAE’s customized training programs is more robust integration. The association is developing software that will allow its training products to connect with other airport systems such as ID badging, access control, clearinghouses and internal databases. By integrating employee training with other airport systems, necessary airport functions can be linked together, streamlining administrative efforts and saving airports money.

AAAE Meetings’ Expertise Tapped By USTDA, FAAAAAE’s meetings team has expanded its extensive industry offerings in recent months, hosting major events on behalf of government clients that include FAA and the U.S. Trade and Development Agency (USTDA).

In April 2009, AAAE supported USTDA’s China-U.S. Aviation Symposium in Beijing, which drew more than 275 delegates, including senior government aviation officials from both countries.

October 2009 brought the 6th Annual FAA International Safety Forum to Washington, D.C. AAAE has

managed the last two safety forums, working with FAA to assemble leading aviation safety officials from around the globe and create a forum for some 600 attendees.

In December 2009, AAAE managed FAA’s first-ever International Runway Safety Summit in Washington, D.C. The meeting brought together experts from across the aviation spectrum to discuss one of the key issues facing the industry today.

Also in December 2009, AAAE managed USTDA’s U.S.-India Aviation Summit in Washington, D.C. More than 250 senior-level aviation officials, including some 30 Indian government officials and 40 U.S. government officials, attended the event. The delegates discussed India’s booming civil aviation sector and explored ways that the U.S. and India can work together to enhance global aviation.

In January 2010, AAAE facilitated the USTDA-led meeting, The Cape Town Convention and Aircraft Protocol: Americas Consultative Seminar, in Washington, D.C. The seminar gathered senior civil aviation government officials from several Latin American countries who discussed the benefits of the Cape Town Treaty ratification.

set the tone for our academic members who will be the future leaders in the aviation industry. There are currently 15 active national student chapters of AAAE.

Benefits of an active AAAE student chapter include a complimentary registration to the AAAE Annual Conference and Exposition for the faculty advisor and one student; four discount certificates to attend the conference, as well as the F. Russell Hoyt National Airports Conference or any of AAAE’s specialty conferences; and a special membership rate for the student chapter faculty advisor.

AAAE also offers faculty and students access to many other resources for enhancing interest in and instruction about airport management career opportunities.

These include access to industry mentors, AAAE’s Airport Magazine, a membership roster containing contact information for many of the nation’s airport leaders, and Airport Report Today newsletter.

The university can have information regarding its activities published in the academic update/student chapter news column of Airport Report Today. Universities with a student chapter also can gain access, at a reduced rate, to

If your school or university currently does not support a student chapter, consider furthering your interests and those of your fellow students by forming a AAAE student chapter and taking advantage of multiple opportunities to network with professional members of the

aviation community.For more information on

forming a student chapter, contact Cindy DeWitt, AAAE, at (703) 824-0500, Ext. 148, or e-mail [email protected], or go to the AAAE Academic Relations Committee Web page at www.aaae.org/arcommittee.

TRAINING

A AAE and its affiliate, the International Association of Airport Executives (IAAE), have expanded

the reach of their training programs by developing under contract to FAA a series of International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Annex 14-compliant courses for personnel representing airports in West and Central Africa.

The first course, which resulted in a 100 percent pass rate for AAAE/

IAAE’s International Airport Certified Employee-Operations/Management (IACE) designation, took place Nov. 15-21, 2009, in Accra, Ghana, with 50 candidates in attendance. The course attendees represented the following 20 countries: Angola, Benin, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, Cape Verde, Chad, Comores, Republic of Congo, Gambia, Ghana, Guinee, Liberia, Mali, Mauritania, Mauritius, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal and Sierra Leone.

Connie Wilson-Hunter, manager of

DOT’s Safe Skies for Africa Program, commented, “DOT/FAA, working in cooperation with the extensive technical and training resources of AAAE/IAAE, has opened a new opportunity to promote a strong global aviation safety culture by offering training to personnel at key airports in West Africa.

“The combination of classroom, on-airport and ‘train the trainer’ instruction developed by AAAE/IAAE allows the benefits of this training to extend well beyond the number of personnel who actually attend the courses. Attendees at the AAAE/IAAE-led courses are able to return to their home countries with the

information required to implement ICAO standards, an understanding of the importance of these standards and the ability to train their co-workers. Initiatives such as this one, which is part of DOT’s Safe Skies for Africa program, are a central part of the U.S. effort to assist ICAO in ensuring that the aviation community operates on uniform standards, thus improving safety for all of us.”

The course developed by AAAE/

AAAE Expands Operations/Management Training toCentral/West Africa

On-airport training was provided at Kotoka International.


IAAE and offered last November in Ghana primarily was taught by Seth Young, Ohio State University professor of aviation. Co-instructors were AAAE Chair John Duval, A.A.E.; Michael O’Donnell, A.A.E., director of FAA’s Office of Airport Safety and Standards; and Rick Schoder, FAA Airport Certification Safety Inspector.

Course topics included: ICAO Annex 14 Aerodrome Design and Operations; ICAO Annex 14 Standards; Airport Certification and Inspection; Safety Management Systems; Airfield Marking and Lighting; Wildlife Management; Runway Safety Action Teams; and Aircraft

Rescue and Fire Fighting. This certification course, including all written course materials, was presented in English, with French translation.

The classroom portion of the week-long course provided practical instruction

each day on how to apply ICAO Annex 14 standards, including explanations on why the standards exist and what they are meant to accomplish, from both the airport and pilot points of view.

Other course objectives were to assist airport staff in understanding the process of participating in commercial airline accident investigations; assist in the development of an Airport Certification Manual specific to each airport; and provide delegates with “train the trainer” materials to allow them to teach the

TRAINING

course in their home countries. An important aspect of the

course was the provision of daily on-airport training at Ghana’s Kotoka International Airport to allow students to experience the implications of the classroom instruction.

At the conclusion of the course, AAAE/IAAE developed and will maintain a Web site for the delegates that includes course materials and the opportunity to pose follow-up questions.

The next Safe Skies for Africa training course to be produced by AAAE/IAAE under the contract with FAA is scheduled for April 25-30, 2010, in Entebbe, Uganda.

Mo Keane, FAA senior rep-resentative in Africa, stated that, “It was great to see the overwhelming enthusiasm with which the first course, held in Ghana, was received.

The participants were so engaged that we added a late-afternoon session to continue the conversations regarding problems and potential solutions at their respective airports. Since many of the participants only work at one airport, they commented that it was especially valuable to see and discuss other ways of operating an airport. We hope to add many more visual displays at the next course, scheduled for Uganda in April, to build upon the lessons learned in Ghana.”

Several international governmental entities such as South Korea’s Incheon International Airport Authority, Abu Dhabi Airports Co.,

the Airports Authority of Jamaica, and numerous airports throughout Canada successfully have used AAAE/IAAE certification programs for their employees. In addition, more than 600 commercial service and general aviation airports in the U.S. have benefited from AAAE/IAAE training programs. A

teach the simplest of security proto-cols; check those IDs and, if you can-not establish a positive ID, ask for a second ID. By the way, he exhorted, do not be lulled by likely stories; “trust but verify.” He repeated the 17 lessons as well. “Vary your routines,” he told them, “be vigilant,” make it your “new normal.”

Then Neversleep called the frac-tionals and suggested the same. Yes, he understood hotel contracts were less expensive, but it also made them more vulnerable to observation, even if charters and fractionals were operationally more asymmetric than airlines. Oliver also recommended that they block their N-numbers from those Web sites that track airplanes. Simple stuff, Oliver thought again, how difficult can this be?

The authorities agreed and immediately began implement-ing the suggestions. Oliver in the meantime reviewed his own proto-cols again. Satisfied with the prog-ress, Oliver went home. That night he heard the faint sounds of police sirens in the distance and in one of those “blink” moments, figured his phone would be ringing any second — sure enough!

Dispatch advised him that a series of incidents was taking place simul-taneously, and law enforcement was responding. The fence sensors and radar pods indicated unauthorized penetration of the airport perim-eter. The FBO manager had called as well and asked for LEO back-up because a man in uniform could not properly identify himself, causing

the CSR to become nervous. Outside, line staff noticed a pilot

frantically trying to start a mid-size jet to no avail, as he was unable to enter the proper code and fingerprint authentication to the initiate engine start sequence.

Back in the office, after fielding a slew of media calls, Neversleep told his secretary he needed a break but, of course, she would not let him rest. ”Sir, sir, you have a meeting with the planning department regarding this housing project at the end of the run-way, and you are running late,” she said. Duty called. A

Building the Great Airport ExperienceToday’s traveler is accustomed to empowerment. When traditional travel experiences like remote

parking, security screening and gate delays strip that away, it’s a barrier to customer satisfaction.

But advanced airport terminal designs by Burns & McDonnell break through, creating options that give

travelers more control and enable airline employees to ef� ciently and effectively meet customer needs.

Great Airport Experiences — Every Flight, Every Traveler, Every Time

Alaska Airlines’ Gate of the Future program is putting customers in charge. When connecting travelers arrive on an airline without a codeshare agreement, the new ITM — Instant Travel Machine — lets them bypass lines at the gate. By enabling more choices — like online, self-service and counter-service check-in — the airline helps reduce the angst and frustration that can come with � ying. Burns & McDonnell is proud to be a part of terminal, gate and counter relocation projects at nine major U.S. airports, helping Alaska Airlines remove obstacles and relieve passenger stress.
