YAMPA VALLEY AIRPORT COMMISSION April 14, 2016 Meeting MINUTES The regular meeting of the Yampa Valley Airport Commission (YVAC) was called to order at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday, April 14, 2016 at Centennial Hall, Steamboat Springs, Colorado. YVAC members present: Doug Monger – Routt County Commissioner Walter Magill – Steamboat Springs City Council member David Franzel – Resident of Routt County Rob Perlman – Steamboat Ski & Resort Corp John Ponikvar – Moffatt County Steve Frasier – Resident of Routt County John Centner – Steamboat Chamber Resorts YVAC members absent: Mike Forney – Resident of Routt County – Aviation Bill Hayden– Representing the Town of Hayden Others present: Kevin Booth –YVRA Director Adam Kittinger – SBS Manager Janet Fischer – Steamboat Ski & Resort Corp Tom Sullivan – Routt County Manager Tracey Rogalski – Go Alpine Jeremy Lee – Jviation Jesse Erickson - Jviation Rachelle Summers I. ORGANIZATIONAL MATTERS 1. Approval of Minutes – February 11, 2016 Steve moved to approve the minutes of the February 11, 2016 regular YVAC meeting as written. John seconded the motion. The motion carried unanimously. II. PUBLIC COMMENT There was no public comment. III. COMMENTS FROM BOARD MEMBERS Rob said that ski season was great and that the air program was successful. III. OLD BUSINESS 1. Seneca Hill Water Tank Project Kevin reported that the Seneca Hill water tank is complete and is being controlled automatically. He said that the Town of Hayden and the project contractor are still 1 working out some details (as built drawings, etc.). He said that although the project was completed nine months past schedule, the final product is good. In response to a question from Doug, Kevin said that an independent third-party water rate review will be completed for the whole town. Tom reviewed how the tank project had been financed and noted the significant contribution toward the project by Routt County. Doug said that it is in the County’s best interest to ensure that the rates charged to YVRA are fair, and that there is not a wide disparity between the airport rates and the rates charged in the town. He noted that the tank itself belongs to the Town of Hayden and is a critical component of their water system. 2. Master Plan and ALP Update Kevin reported that a problem with formatting in the ALP is the only thing holding up the acceptance of the Master Plan. Jeremy reviewed the problem, which had occurred at five different airports in Colorado, and said that all the data in the ALP would be replaced. He said that the ALP is still working its way through the review process. V. NEW BUSINESS 1. Capital Projects Update: SBS & YVRA Adam stated that no major capital improvements are planned for 2016 or 2017. Adam said that he would submit a draft business plan to Chuck Anderson on April 18th. The plan will outline what they would like to accomplish at SBS in the next few years, including the installation of a self-service fuel farm and the construction of a hangar. Adam said that he is trying to build support at the City for these projects, adding that they could help to generate some revenue at SBS. Adam said that they are looking into financing through the State Infrastructure Bank (SIB). Regarding the runway extension project, Adam stated that the FAA money had to be returned when it became apparent that the required property could not be acquired. He said that without the runway extension, which would be prohibitively expensive for the City to do on its own, other ways of moving SBS forward will have to be found. In response to a question from David, Adam said that any future federal money would have to come out of priority-based FAA discretionary funds, which are unlikely to be available. Adam said that the City is looking into acquiring the property via eminent domain, as even if the runway extension never happens, the City will need that 3.4-acre parcel for future development at SBS. He noted, however, that if the runway extension project is removed from the CIP, it will be more difficult to make the case for eminent domain. Doug said that the parcel of land would be needed to accommodate the realignment of CR 44. John P. asked whether a SWOT analysis for SBS had been conducted recently. Adam said that he had been working with the City of doing a sustainability study of the airport and that CDOT had put out an economic impact study on SBS, which is available on the airport website. John C. asked if increased GA activity at YVRA would have an impact on the commercial flights. Kevin said that it could. He said that the FAA is looking hard at putting a remote virtual control tower at YVRA. He cited the challenges of 2 accommodating two completely different classes of aircraft. Kevin noted, however, that SBS is busiest when YVRA is slower. Kevin said that the AIP 42 projects for YVRA include the purchase of a new broom and a new blower to be delivered in 2017, and the purchase and installation of a new rotating airport beacon in 2016. Kevin said that the paid parking lot will also be completely revamped with approximately $200,000 from the airport budget. Kevin presented a site plan and reviewed how the parking lot and delivery traffic flow would be changed. He said that the reconfiguration would allow for an additional 50 parking spaces. If additional room is needed in the future, the lot could be expanded into the area currently used for employee parking. Kevin said that project would be done this summer completely in-house, with the exception of the system installation. He added that phase 2 of the project would include an expansion of the rental car area and improved shuttle access. Kevin reported that he had been approached by CenturyLink and United Airlines regarding a very tentative proposal to install fiber optic to YVRA. He noted the conduit is already there from the location of the CenturyLink pedestal west of the terminal to the data room in the terminal. Tom noted that the Craig – Steamboat trunk line would need to be activated for this to be possible. Kevin stated that he is cautiously optimistic about the proposal, but noted that the Zirkel Wireless system is working well. 2. Air Service Update Janet said that the winter program, which included 11 non-stop flights on 4 different airlines, had ended. She reported that the total number of seats had grown by 8%. She said that although she does not have final number of passengers yet, her estimates are tracking with YVRA’s enplanement records. Janet said that the areas into which service was expanded this year did very well. Janet reviewed the updated summer flight schedule, noting that American would be flying direct from Dallas daily for most of the summer. She said that the Houston flight would be cut from 70 operations last summer to 45 this summer.

  • Agenda Bill Background
    Agenda Item 1 ~ June 20, 2012 FileNo. Z’iO~’1O AGENDA BILL Subject: Town Council Direction on the Submission of the Revised Mammoth Yosemite Airport Layout Plan Update Narrative (ALPUN) to the Federal Aviation Administration for Review and Comment Initiated by: Jen Daugherty, Associate Planner Ray Jarvis, Public Works Director Mark Wardlaw, Community Development Director BACKGROUND The purpose of this agenda item is for the Town Council to consider the recommendations from the Airport and Planning Commissions and provide direction to staff regarding the formal submission of the Airport Layout Plan Update Narrative (ALPUN) to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for review and comment. Since the reintroduction of air service in 2008, the Town of Mammoth Lakes in partnership with Mammoth Mountain Ski Area (MMSA) and the FAA have made significant progress in securing air service contracts; completing required planning, design, and environmental analyses; and in capital facility improvements. Over time, the partnership has been expanded to include Mono County, and efforts are now underway, with the Eastern Sierra Air Alliance, to broaden the scope of participation and involvement to continue enhancement of commercial air service serving the community. On May 22nd, after completing extensive review and holding four public meetings on the subject, the Airport Commission recommended that the revised ALPUN, with modifications, be submitted to the FAA following consideration by the Planning Commission and Town Council. The Airport Commission’s modifications are incorporated into the ALPUN errata sheet. On June 13th, the Planning Commission found that the ALPUN is consistent with the General Plan and also recommended that the ALPUN be submitted to the FAA after Town Council consideration.

  • National Transportation Safety Board Aviation Accident Final Report
    National Transportation Safety Board Aviation Accident Final Report Location: Hayden, CO Accident Number: CEN12FA161 Date & Time: 02/19/2012, 1525 MST Registration: N4772A Aircraft: CESSNA 414A Aircraft Damage: Substantial Defining Event: Aerodynamic stall/spin Injuries: 2 Fatal, 4 Serious Flight Conducted Under: Part 91: General Aviation - Personal Analysis The pilot performed an instrument approach to the runway with an approaching winter storm. A review of on-board global positioning system (GPS) data indicated that the airplane flew through the approach course several times during the approach and was consistently below the glideslope path. The airplane continued below the published decision height altitude and drifted to the right of the runway’s extended centerline. The GPS recorded the pilot’s attempt to perform a missed approach, a rapid decrease in ground speed, and then the airplane descend to the ground, consistent with an aerodynamic stall. Further, the airplane owner, who was also a passenger on the flight, stated that, after the pilot made the two “left turning circles” and had begun a third circle, he perceived that the airplane “just stalled.” An examination of the airframe and engine did not detect any preimpact anomalies that would have precluded normal operation. The airplane’s anti-ice and propeller anti-ice switches were found in the “off” position. A review of weather information revealed that the airplane was operating in an area with the potential for moderate icing and snow. Based on the GPS data and weather information, it is likely that the airframe collected ice during the descent and approach, which affected the airplane’s performance and led to an aerodynamic stall during the climb.
