ADDISON AIRPORT | NOVEMBER 2018

REVENUE November 2018 revenue totaled $465,118.20, continuing the strong start for FY19. While this figure was barely above the November 2017 result, it exceeded budget projections by almost $29,000. Higher than budgeted jet hangar rental income accounted for the bulk of the overage.

FUEL November fuel flowage totaled 621,530 gallons, starting FY19 with two consecutive months exceeding 600,000 gallons in fuel flowage. Jet-A volume was 560,580 gallons (90.2%) while AvGas volume was 60,950 gallons (9.8%). November fuel volume was 9.4% higher than projected in the FY19 budget … a strong result. OPERATIONS November operations (take-offs and landings) totaled 9,328. Instrument (IFR itinerant) operations for the month – at 3,432 – were again very strong, although not reaching the level seen in the very rainy October just passed. International operations totaled 61 (39 arrivals and 22 departures) for the month, also a respectable number. In terms of fuel, operations, and revenue, FY19 is off to the best start of any year since the depths of the recession in FY09-FY10, continuing a slow upward trend over the past 10 years. With several significant new developments planned for the airport in the next 2-3 years, we can reasonably expect these measures of activity to continue to improve.

AROUND THE AIRPORT

Above: this composite image shows the A6 hangar demolition site as of Wednesday, November 21 (the day before Thanksgiving); the hangar structures are long gone and the entire aircraft parking ramp and most of the hangar slab have been demolished and hauled away. All that remains is some of the hangar slab and the automobile parking lot.

Above: most business jet operators prefer to maintain a certain degree of anonymity; a few don’t mind if you know who they are. This aircraft sports the logo of NASCAR driver Denny Hamlin, a member of the Joe Gibbs Racing team.

AIRPORTMASS CASUALTY MAINTENANCE INCIDENT (MCI) EXERCISE – MARCH 20, 2018

Above left: maintenance technician Tom Walsh mowing an infield. Above right: sometimes the vegetation can get taller than we’d prefer on account of circumstances beyond our control … usually rain that leaves the airfield too wet to mow. That happened in October, when it seemed the rain would never stop; it finally dried out enough in November – just barely, as can be seen in the above photo from the tracks left by the mower – that our crews were able to get out and mow. Below left: pavement patching is often performed as a stop-gap measure until a failed or failing area of pavement can be fully replaced. Below right: maintenance technicians Gabriel Saltijeral (l) and Tom Walsh (r) sweeping up loose material on a section of pavement that has completely failed; the aim here is simply FOD (Foreign Objects and Debris) control since the pavement is beyond the point where patching would be effective. This pavement is slated to be demolished and reconstructed as part of the ‘southeast quadrant’ redevelopment project, expected to commence sometime in 2019.

Below: this series of images shows maintenance technician Darryl Shand re-lamping runway lighting fixtures (runway threshold lights in the two images at left, runway end lights in the two images at right). Darryl holds the Airport Certified Employee (“ACE”) credential for Airfield Lighting from AAAE (American Association of Airport Executives).
