Hurricane Preparedness Hurricane season is June 1 through November 30. Now is the time to prepare so that you are not caught without

a plan in the event that a storm impact to our area looks possible. Stop by the customer service desk at Naples

Aviation, the Leasing office or the airport’s Administration office to receive a copy of the Collier County

Emergency Management All Hazards Guide, which is full of valuable information for all types of emergency

preparedness.

Please remember:

The hangars are not wind-rated. Please do not count on your hangar to provide protection in the event of a

hurricane or tropical storm.

We highly recommended that all tenants have aircraft evacuation plans in place. Contact two alternate airports

now and make arrangements for apron/hangar space in the event that it is necessary—if you wait until a storm

gets close, you will be competing with other evacuees for space.

T-shelter (shade hangar) tenants must remove any equipment boxes if a tropical-force storm is approaching.

Plan to leave at least 48 hours prior to the anticipated onset of tropical-force winds.

If you choose to leave a vehicle in your hangar, please leave the keys at the Naples Aviation FBO desk, as

Airport staff may need to move it to another location.

Make sure your contact information is up to date with us. The Emergency Communications section of this

issue provides important information on how we will be communicating with our tenants.

Naples Airport prepares for anticipated storms by clearing the ramp area of as many remaining aircraft as

possible in order to mitigate damage to the airfield from wind-blown objects and debris. In doing so, we

reserve the right to use any available hangar space, including leased hangars that may be empty.

Time is critical during storm preparation and we will not be able to contact each tenant or to assist with

individual preparation measures. If you will be out of town during hurricane season, please arrange for another

authorized tenant to carry out your emergency plans.

Thank You for Voting for Naples Aviation Our team always works diligently to provide exceptional service and exceed your expectations. We are

proud to share that you have helped rank Naples Aviation as the 15th

best overall FBO and the 8th

best

independent FBO in the country in a survey conducted by Pro Pilot Magazine. The complete survey

rankings can be found online at www.propilotmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/PRASE2019.pdf.

Emergency Communications

Naples Airport is now utilizing Everbridge for emergency notifications. This technology will enable efficient

communications to our airport community during times when the distribution of real-time information is vital.

During hurricane season, Everbridge will allow us to quickly disseminate important information to our tenants

regarding any storm impacts to operations and/or airport closures using contact information that was provided

on airport badge applications. A test Everbridge message will be sent out within the next few weeks. If you do not

receive the test message, or if your phone number(s) and/or email address has changed in the past two (2)

years, please email updated information to Jennifer Monville, Properties Coordinator, at leasing@flynaples.com or

call (239) 643-0733.

Everbridge has been employed successfully during numerous critical events, including hurricanes Sandy, Matthew,

Irma, Harvey and Maria, and the recent California wildfires. The system is used by agencies all over the world,

including the state of Florida and Collier County. Should you wish to unsubscribe, please email

naa@flynaples.com.

Recreational Drones

The FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018 brought changes for recreational drone usage. These include a requirement

for operators to pass a test on aeronautical knowledge and safety, register their drones, mark the outside of them

with their registration numbers and carry proof of registration with them.

The FAA is now offering a free webinar series to help drone operators understand how to properly operate in the

National Airspace System and successfully apply for an airspace authorization. To register, please visit the FAA’s

website at https://www.faa.gov/uas/resources/webinars/.

For more information on flying recreational drones please visit https://www.faa.gov/uas/recreational_fliers/.

FAA Policy Update for ADS-B

Effective January 1, 2020, all aircraft operators must be equipped with Automatic Dependent Surveillance-

Broadcast (ADS–B) Out equipment to fly within most controlled airspace. If aircraft are not equipped, then ATC

authorizations will need to be obtained prior to flight through any ADS-B mandated airspace. FAA stresses that

obtaining an authorization is not guaranteed and could be difficult for a variety of reasons. For more information

on the FAA policy, please visit https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2019/04/01/2019-06184/statement-of

-policy-for-authorizations-to-operators-of-aircraft-that-are-not-equipped-with-automatic.

NAA Going Green

The City of Naples Airport Authority

needs your help. In support of our ini-

tiatives to be more environmentally

friendly, we’re asking our customers

who receive invoices/statements via

mail to consider electronic delivery in

place of paper.

If you are ready to Go Green with us,

please contact Georgiana Bradbury,

Senior Accounting Clerk, via email at

accountsreceivable@flynaples.com, or

call (239) 643-0733 and request to go

paperless. To ensure proper delivery,

please add her address to your ap-

proved email list, so your invoices and

statements do not get sent to your

spam folder.

Lightning is a hazardous and occasionally

fatal threat to anyone outdoors in its

vicinity and is a major concern for the

aviation industry, especially ground

handling personnel on the apron area.

For safety reasons, personnel are directed

indoors anytime lightning is detected

within a critical distance.

Did You Know?

Naples Airport generates more

than $440 million annually in

economic impact.

The airport is financially self-

sustaining—it receives no local

tax dollars and generates reve-

nues through fuel sales and

the leasing hangars and land.

Taxilane Traffic Jams
