    Prince George’s County Planning Department Airport Compatibility Planning Project The Prince George’s County Planning Department has been engaged in a work program effort to examine risk and land use compatibility issues around the county’s four general aviation airports: Potomac Airfield in Friendly, Washington Executive Airpark in Clinton, Freeway Airport in Mitchellville, and College Park Airport in College Park. The project is an outgrowth of several aircraft accidents in the neighborhoods close to Potomac Airfield during the mid-1990s and resulting residents’ concerns. To help the staff further understand the issues and risks involved at Potomac Airfield and the other airports in the county, the Planning Department hired a team of aviation consultants to examine safety and land use compatibility issues around each airport, to research what is being done in other jurisdictions, and to recommend state of the art approaches to address issues in Prince George’s County. For increased public accessibility, this consultant’s report is on the Planning Department website. A printed copy of the consultant’s report is available as a reference at the following public libraries: • Hyattsville Branch Library, 6532 Adelphi Road, Hyattsville • Bowie Branch Library, 15210 Annapolis Road, Bowie • Surratts-Clinton Branch Library, 9400 Piscataway Road, Clinton Airport Land Use Compatibility and Air Safety Study An aviation consultant, William V. Cheek and Associates of Prescott, Arizona, conducted research and field study around the county’s four general aviation airports during the past summer. They prepared a detailed report, entitled the Airport Land Use Compatibility and Air Safety Study for the Maryland National Capital Park and Planning Commission, which was submitted to the Planning Department on November 10, 2000.

  • 200115 SFRA Course
    Security-related procedures and requirements are a fact of life for today's pilots, especially those who operate in the Washington, DC metropolitan area Special Flight Rules Area (SFRA) and the DC Flight Restricted Zone (FRZ). Although the rules may sound intimidating, they are not difficult. This course is intended to provide the information you need to fly safely, correctly, and confidently in this airspace. 1 This slide provides a summary of the changes made since the last version of this course. The only changes for this edition are new procedures for filing flight plans for the Flight Restricted Zone, or FRZ. As stated in the regulatory review section, 14 CFR 91.161 requires this training for pilots flying under visual flight rules (VFR) within a 60 nm radius of the Washington DC VOR/DME. This training is a one-time-only requirement, but it is a good idea to periodically review the material for updates and to refresh your knowledge. You should print the certificate of training completion. You do not have to carry it with you, but you must provide it within a reasonable period of time if requested. Now, let’s get started. 2 After the September 11 terrorist attacks, security authorities established the Washington DC Air Defense Identification Zone – the ADIZ – and the Flight Restricted Zone – the FRZ – to protect the nation’s capital. The ADIZ and the FRZ were established and operated via temporary flight restriction, or TFR, until the FAA developed a final rule that took effect on February 17, 2009. That rule codified the ADIZ and the FRZ in 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 93 as the DC Special Flight Rules Area (SFRA).

  • College Park Airport (CGS) Maryland Economic Impact of Airports for More Information, Please Contact
    Maryland Benefits from Airports - Maryland’s economic well-being is interconnected with its vibrant airport system and its robust aviation industry. The State’s aviation system allows the community at-large to capitalize on an increasingly global marketplace. - Aviation in Maryland both sustains and leads economic growth and development. Protecting and investing in airports will support the aviation industry and sustain the industry’s positive impact on local, regional, and state economies. With continued support, Maryland’s dynamic aviation system will continue to provide a significant economic return in the years to come. - When the regional and local economic impacts of Maryland’s 34 public-use general aviation and scheduled commercial service airports (excluding Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport) are added together, over 9,900 jobs can be traced to the aviation industry. These employees receive more than $583 million in total payroll, and generate nearly $1.1 billion in total economic activity – over $867 million in business revenue and $272 million in local purchases. - The total employment numbers for Maryland’s public-use general aviation and scheduled commercial service airports includes nearly 5,000 direct jobs created by airport and visitor activity at these airports. Over 2,300 jobs were supported in local economic sectors as a result of purchases for goods and services by those 5,000 directly-employed workers; and, over 2,600 indirect jobs were supported by over $272 million of local purchases by airport tenants. - Nearly $583 million dollars in personal wages and salary income was created in the State of Maryland by the activity at these 34 airports.

  • College Park Airport Authority
    College Park Airport Authority Minutes of Meeting (Virtual) 1 April 2021 The virtual meeting was called to order by the Chair, Jack Robson at 7:05 PM. Members present were David Dorsch, Chris Dullnig, Gabriel Iriarte, David Kolesar, and Anna Sandberg. James Garvin was absent. Also in attendance were Lee Sommer, Airport Manager, and Stephen Edgin, Assistant Manager. The Purple Line work on Paint Branch Creek to the north of the airport has about a month to go. They will remove the temporary access road that they installed across the north end of the airport. The tree trimming portion of the M-NCPPC runway safety project should complete on April 2nd or so. However, plantings and tree replacement will continue into the indefinite future. M-NCPPC has been meeting with the disc golf group, but the group has been unable to reach a consensus on tree placement. The replacement of the runway lights with LED fixtures should begin in July. In addition, installation of the Precision Approach Path Indicator (PAPI) systems, along with an electrical upgrade should also start in the same time frame. The power and PAPI systems are permit dependent so the actual dates are uncertain. The State will be providing a cost-sharing grant for this safety improvement. The response to a memo sent to the Mayor and Council by Mr. Gray, a Yarrow resident, was discussed at length. The Authority members unanimously approved the response and a copy is attached to the Minutes. Mr. Sommer reported that: There are 39 currently based aircraft There were 99 Transient operations There were 359 Tenant operations He also advised that when the restricted use of the Operations Building was to occur was still unknown.

  • Appendix 2 College Park Runway and Taxiway Rehabilitaion Letter
    October 1, 2018 Mr. Eric J. DeDominicis, P.E. Deputy Practice Leader, Aviation Urban Engineers, Inc. 1 South Street, Suite 1275 Baltimore, MD 21202 Ref: RDM Job No. 1751: Runway and Taxiway Rehabilitation at College Park Airport, College Park, Maryland. Dear Mr. DeDominicis: RDM International Inc. (RDM) was retained by Urban Engineers, Inc. (Urban) to perform functional evaluations for the Runway 15-33, parallel taxiway, and associated connectors at College Park Airport (CGS) College Park, MD. The primary objective of the project is to evaluate the functional condition and assist Urban with developing design alternatives for pavement rehabilitation. Runway 15-33 is 2,607 feet long by 60 feet wide and is asphalt concrete (AC) surfaced. However, both runway ends are displaced and the total pavement length is approximately 2,983 feet long. The project limits identified for the runway and taxiways are shown in Appendix A. RDM’s scope of this project consisted of a pavement condition survey and functional evaluation considerations. Nondestructive testing or other forms of physical testing for the structural analysis pavements were not performed. All repair / rehabilitation recommendations are based on visual inspection of pavements. Following procedures detailed in FAA Advisory Circular 150/5380-7B, “Airport Pavement Management Program” and ASTM D 5340, “Standard Test Method for Airport Pavement Condition Index Surveys” , RDM performed a pavement condition survey for the runway and taxiway pavements within the project limits. The survey consisted of a visual inspection to identify pavement distresses at the surface resulting from the influence of aircraft traffic loading, environment weathering or erosion, and other factors relating to potential construction material deficiencies.

  • 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.
