Robert Sumwalt of the NTSB provided the keynote address after a full day of presentations that included Sonnie Bates with Baldwin Aviation Safety Management Systems (IS- BAO); Brad Townsend with Dupont Future Equipage; Flight Safety International Professional Development; FAA FSDO Update; and interesting interactive questions and answers throughout the day.

DC Pilot's Perspective JYO Aircraft Operations - Heads Up Fellow DC area aviators, as you probably are aware, the remote tower at Leesburg Executive Airport is in the midst of testing this month. Please take a careful look at your NOTAMs and AWOS when operating around JYO for the next few weeks. The mobile tower which is mounted on a trailer out on the ramp in front of the terminal began testing (went live) on October 11th. The program reached another milestone, albeit one invisible to pilots, when the remote tower began passive testing in “shadow mode” where the mobile tower is still absolutely in control of traffic, but the remote tower is conducting talk aloud testing- essentially pretending to control traffic within a self contained 1 environment. Operating times for the mobile tower that actually is controlling traffic are broadcast daily on AWOS. This phase of testing should conclude on or about November 10th.

  • The Future of Tipton Airport in Anne Arundel County
    The Future of Tipton Airport in Anne Arundel County by Pranita Ranbhise Under the supervision of Professor Melina Duggal Course 788: Independent Study The University of Maryland- College Park Fall 2016 PALS - Partnership for Action Learning in Sustainability An initiative of the National Center for Smart Growth Gerrit Knaap, NCSG Executive Director Uri Avin, PALS Director, Kim Fisher, PALS Manager 1 Executive Summary Tipton Airport is located in Anne Arundel County, Maryland. It is a General (GA) airport, classified as a reliever airport by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). It is the reliever airport to the Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI), which is located less than 13 miles from Tipton. The airport plans to extend their runway from 3,000 feet to 4,200 feet. The main objective for this expansion is to increase the number of larger turbo-planes and business aircrafts, which require longer runways that can use the facility. This will expand the airport’s market reach and user base, allowing it to improve the ease of flying for potential users. The purpose of this study is to determine the future demand for corporate service and other air traffic at the airport in light of the runway expansion, and to recommend additional variables that will help increase air traffic. The report provides a detailed description of Tipton Airport, including its location and context, airport services, and a comparison of these services with similar airports in Maryland. It also includes an analysis of the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats for the airport, based on a review of FAA records and recommendations, market analysis, general aviation airport demand drivers, the Maryland Aviation Administration (MAA) reports, and information from airport experts.

    FINAL REPORT 2013 PREPARED FOR THE MARYLAND AVIATION ADMINISTRATION LANDRUM & BROWN, INCORPORATED | MARTIN ASSOCIATES Maryland Aviation Administration ECONOMIC IMPACT OF AIRPORTS Final Report 2013 Prepared by Landrum & Brown, Incorporated/Martin Associates The preparation of this document has been supported, in part, through the Airport Improvement Program financial assistance from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) thru AIP Grant 3-24-0000-002 (2012) as provided under Title 49 U.S.C., Section 47104. The contents do not necessarily reflect the official views or policy of the FAA. Acceptance of this report by the FAA does not in any way constitute a commitment on the part of the United States to participate in any development depicted therein nor does it indicate that the proposed development is environmentally acceptable or would have justification in accordance with appropriate public laws. MARYLAND AVIATION ADMINISTRATION ECONOMIC IMPACT OF AIRPORTS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Maryland Aviation Administration conducted a study funded partially under a grant by the Federal Aviation Administration to estimate the economic impacts of the Maryland airport system. The first phase analyzed the Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI) and Martin State Airport (MTN). Phase II estimates the economic impacts of the entire statewide aviation system, which consists of 35 general aviation (including MTN) and scheduled commercial service airports as well as BWI. The purpose of the study is to quantify the economic impacts generated by passenger and air cargo activity at BWI and to quantify the economic impacts generated by the 35 general aviation and scheduled commercial service airports. The impacts are quantified in terms of: Jobs Employee earnings Business revenue State and local taxes Federal airport-specific taxes The impacts are estimated for passenger and air cargo activity for calendar year 2011 for BWI and Martin State Airport and 2012 for the other 34 public use airports.

A key component of the FAA response to the RTCA recommendations was the formation of teams leveraging FAA and Industry Performance Based Navigation (PBN) expertise and experience to expedite implementation of optimized airspace and procedures. Optimization of Airspace and Procedures in the Metroplex (OAPM) is a systematic, integrated and expedited approach to implementing PBN procedures and associated airspace changes. OAPM was developed in direct response to the recommendations from RTCA’s Task Force 5 Final Report on Mid-Term NextGen Implementation on the quality, timeliness, and scope of metroplex solutions. OAPM focuses on a geographic area, rather than a single airport. This approach considers multiple airports and the airspace surrounding a metropolitan area, including all types of operations, as well as connectivity with other metroplexes. The OAPM initiative is intended to enable accelerated development and implementation of beneficial PBN procedures. 2.0 Overview of the Washington DC OAPM Design Team The Washington DC Design Team was the first OAPM Design Team deployed, and the collaborative1 team was active from July 2011 through March 2012.

  • Airport Directory
    Maryland Airport Directory 2019– 2020 FOREWORD - Welcome to Maryland by Air - Maryland has a rich history in aviation and many firsts have been celebrated in the Free State. One way to experience the State of Maryland’s heritage is through aviation. As we continue to move forward through the second century of powered flight, the Maryland Department of Transportation Maryland Aviation Administration (MAA) is pleased to present its biennial Airport Directory. This guide provides information on airport facilities within the State of Maryland including airport data, aerial photographs and noise abatement procedures to help pilots find their way around Maryland’s public- use airport system. This guide is also presented as a training tool for students of all ages interested in aviation and Maryland. Every effort has been made to include the latest and most accurate data available for each and every facility. The information contained in this directory is current as of January 2019. We hope this directory will help to make your flying experiences in Maryland safe, enjoyable and memorable. Due to ever-changing conditions, MDOT MAA assumes absolutely no responsibility whatsoever for actions taken (by pilots and/or their passengers) based on the information contained within this airport directory. We invite you to enjoy Maryland from a unique perspective - from the air. *** NOTE: It is the sole responsibility of each pilot to check all sources of information, including the most current Airport/Facility Directory (A/FD), Notices To Airmen (NOTAMs) and flight related weather information that may affect your flight, as well as making a visual inspection of any airport facility.
