  • Chapter 2 Inventory of Facilities
    Chapter 2 – Inventory of Facilities Chapter 2 Inventory of Facilities One of the initial tasks in the preparation of an airport master plan is the collection of information on the condition of existing facilities and services. This inventory of data is necessary to not only evaluate the physical attributes of airside and landside infrastructure, but also to complete subsequent study tasks, such as demand/capacity analyses and the determination of facility requirements. Information collected focuses on the use, size, quantity, type, area, operational intent, and other characteristics of the airside and landside components of an airport. Typical categories of information that are collected include history, physical infrastructure, regional setting, surrounding land uses, environmental features, historical aviation activity, business affairs, and socioeconomic demographics of the surrounding community. Several sources of information were referenced to compile a comprehensive database of the facilities and services at the University Park Airport (Airport). These included, but were not limited to, the previous Airport Master Plan, recent National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) documents, the Airport website, the Terminal Area Master Plan, the Land Use Plan, and the Airport Layout Plan (ALP). In addition, historical enplanements, aircraft operations, based aircraft, aircraft fleet mix, enplaned cargo, and automobile parking data were obtained from Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) databases and Airport records.

The purpose of the club, which had approximately 30 junior members, was to train young people for the aviation carriers. Almost all gliders were destroyed during the war and therefore the government built some primary gliders for basic training. Exhibit A: My Logbook in Hungary when I Started Flying Gliders 1 Students started their training in single seat gliders that were pulled by a cable tied to a winch. Exhibit A is a copy of the first page of my logbook. “Cs” represents “sliding on the ground.” This is a maneuver where the winch pulls you on the ground without getting airborne. The goal was for the student to keep the wings level and to travel in a straight line. A straight thirty second flight earned you an “A” badge. After the straight flights, the student was asked to make a left turn at approximately 15 degrees and land.

  • The Frequent Flyer the Monthly Newsletter of Caesar Creek Soaring Club April 2003
    The Frequent Flyer The Monthly Newsletter of Caesar Creek Soaring Club April 2003 TEN STEPS TO SAFER SOARING Reprinted from the Soaring Safety Foundation. www.soaringsafety.org 1. Maintain Personal Proficiency Although Federal Aviation Regulations are quite specific in describing the minimum amount of recent experience required to act as pilot in command of an aircraft, it is important to make the distinction between being current and being proficient. The adjective current is used to describe a state of being up to date or occurring within a recent period of time. Proficiency, on the other hand, relates to the ability to perform a skill with expert correctness. Being legally current to act as pilot in command does not necessarily imply the level of proficiency needed to do so. Pilots are encouraged to develop a personal proficiency program that allows continuous development of critical flight skills. This is especially important during inactive periods between soaring seasons. 2. Use Checklists Effectively Checklists are a vital component of the operational safety of our sport. The use of checklists is appropriate in all aspects of soaring, including glider assembly, pre-flight inspection, pre-takeoff and pre-landing, and post-flight disassembly. However, a checklist is only as good as the effort put forth in using it. The most frequent contributing factors in premature terminations of the tow accidents, for example, can be traced directly to improper use of the checklist. Other operational areas that may have serious consequences that result from the lack or improper use of the checklist include glider assembly, pre-flight inspection, and pre-landing.
