The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has made the reduction of Runway Incursions and Surface Incidents one of its top priorities. As part of this program, the FAA, in conjunction with airport authorities across the nation, is conducting Runway Safety Action (RSAT) meetings at individual airports. The purpose of these RSAT meetings is to gather the individuals who are actively engaged in airside movements of aircraft and vehicles and have an open discussion on how to improve runway safety. The operation of the airport is discussed, both from the control tower as well as from the airport management perspective and past runway incursions and surface incidents are reviewed. As a result of the meeting, a list of recommendations are generated, which are then tracked to completion
On Tuesday, July 14, 2009, The Lancaster Federal Contract Tower (FCT) and Lancaster Airport Authority (LAA) will conduct an RSAT at Lancaster Airport. The RSAT will begin at 9am and will take place at Fiorentino’s meeting room. The meeting should conclude by 12:00 noon.
We will be discussing the taxiway construction planned for this summer, emphasizing the importance of remaining astute while on the movement area.
We request that a representative from your business attend. Other attendees will include representatives of the following groups; airport management, air traffic controllers, airlines, fixed base operators, flight schools, and any other groups that operate on the airside surfaces.
Your participation in this meeting will be appreciated. We all need to work together to ensure that Lancaster Airport will continue be the safest airport it can be.
If you have any questions, please contact John Moeller, Manager, at Lancaster ATC Tower (717) 569-0004 or Austin Beiler, Facilities Administrator, at the Lancaster Airport Authority at (717) 569-1221. |
