    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.

  • Superawos on the Rise: Ainonline
    SuperAWOS on the rise: AINonline SEARCH: SuperAWOS on the rise By Curt Epstein May 1, 2008 Avionics Sponsored by: AirBP While automated weather observing systems (AWOS) have been a fixture at airports for many years, what some feel is the next generation of the technology has been gaining in popularity. The SuperAWOS, devised by Maryland airport owner David Wartofsky, has had a long and twisting road to certification. The homegrown system was originally designated as a unicom device for airfields without tower communication, but Wartofsky imbued it with a degree of artificial intelligence (AI). Like every other non-tower general aviation airport, Potomac Airfield faced the problem of how to provide Unicom coverage. Most airports look to a commercial tenant or FBO to provide that. With a pre-airport management background in designing life-saving high-tech medical equipment, Wartofsky created a unit that would monitor radio traffic in the area and respond when needed, as well as provide weather information to pilots. “For example, if you are coming into Potomac Airfield and say, ‘Potomac Airfield 121 inbound, anyone in the pattern?’ and no one replies, our system listening to the frequency knows that and says, ‘Good evening, this is Potomac Airfield automated unicom, wind 220/7 conditions favor Runway 24 pilot’s discretion.” In essence, said Wartofsky, the system acts as a receptionist and more. “The objective of the AI was to create a system that would act like an intelligent weather observer/pilot sitting out on the airport constantly evaluating,” he said. “Whenever a pilot asks for information, this AI would give just what the pilot needs that’s important for flight operations.” Expanded Capabilities After years of development and certification bureaucracy, Wartofsky added other abilities that enabled the unit to unlock IFR approaches for airports, including approved altimeter check source, approved visibility source, radio check capability, ELT monitoring, and a semi-classified exotic radio transceiver that can detect weak transmissions at a range of 20 miles.

  • 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.

  • FLIGHT ADVISORY NATIONAL SPECIAL SECURITY EVENT 2021 Presidential Inauguration Events
    FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION FLIGHT ADVISORY NATIONAL SPECIAL SECURITY EVENT 2021 Presidential Inauguration Events The planned 2021 Presidential Inauguration events in Washington, DC are scheduled for January 20, 2021 between the hours of 0800 to 2200 local time. At the request of the Department of Homeland Security and as part of the airspace security measures for the event, the FAA will be modifying the Washington Special Flight Rules Area (SFRA) and Washington Metropolitan Flight Restriction Zone (FRZ) with additional flight restrictions. Pursuant to 49 USC 40103(B), The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) classifies the airspace defined in these NOTAMs as "National Defense Airspace". Any person who knowingly or willfully violates the rules concerning operations in this airspace may be subject to certain criminal penalties under 49 USC 46307. Pilots who do not adhere to the following procedures may be intercepted, detained and interviewed by Law Enforcement/Security Personnel. Any of the following additional actions may also be taken against a pilot who does not comply with the requirements or any special instructions or procedures announced in this NOTAM: A. The FAA may take administrative action, including imposing civil penalties and the suspension or revocation of airmen certificates; or B. The United States government may pursue criminal charges, including charges under Title 49 of the United States Code, Section 46307; or C. The United States government may use deadly force against the airborne aircraft, if it is determined that the aircraft poses an imminent security threat. The following restrictions will apply: Washington DC SFRA Restrictions: The DC SFRA is that area of airspace over the surface of the earth where the ready identification, location, and control of aircraft is required in the interest of national security.

  • Homeland Security: Protecting Airspace in the National Capital Region
    Order Code RS22234 September 1, 2005 CRS Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web Homeland Security: Protecting Airspace in the National Capital Region Bart Elias Specialist in Aviation Safety, Security, and Technology Resources, Science, and Industry Division Summary Since September 11, 2001, several actions have been taken to monitor and protect the airspace around Washington, DC. However, many general aviation (GA) interests have protested that extensive airspace restrictions and complex procedures exceed what is necessary to protect critical assets from possible terrorist attacks using aircraft. Policymakers have struggled to address airspace protection needs without unduly impeding air commerce or compromising safety. While the administration is currently seeking to make the airspace restrictions in the National Capital Region permanent, Congress has pushed for an easing of restrictions on GA aircraft at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) and nearby GA airports through legislation and oversight. However, a few high profile airspace breaches have prompted some in Congress to seek stiffer penalties for violators and mandatory training for pilots (see H.R. 3465). Better pilot training and technologies to improve pilot situational awareness may help curtail inadvertent airspace violations that complicate surveillance and protection efforts. Further assessment of airspace design and special flight procedures around Washington, DC, may be undertaken to determine whether an appropriate balance exists between homeland security and defense requirements and air commerce and safety. This report will be updated as needed. The presence of numerous high profile targets in and around Washington, DC, has raised significant policy concerns over how to effectively defend these sites from possible terrorist threats involving aircraft.
