  • Winter 2017 Plane Talk
    Winter 2017 Celebrating TAPS 40th Anniversary Remembering Hercs, Helicopters, & Airfields As our state celebrates 40 years of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System (TAPS), it’s a good time to reflect on the massive airlift and numerous airstrips built to support one of the world’s greatest civil engineering projects. Impacts to Alaska aviation started in 1970 long before the first pipe section was installed. There were numerous helicopter operations flying survey crews as they staked out the alignment of the pipeline and where pump stations would be built. Air carriers geared up for the expected construction startup in 1972. Unfortunately there were delays with permitting causing one of the larger cargo haulers to declare Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The project was finally permitted and construction of the Haul Road began in April 1974. It took 154 days to build the Haul Road from Prudhoe Bay to the Yukon River, a length of 348 miles. It was even built to DOT standards! This triggered the beginning of a massive airlift in “Herc” operations. Construction workers laid the first pipe in March 1975,at Tonsina River. The peak pipeline construction workforce was 28,072 in October 1975. The number of passengers passing through the Fairbanks International Airport doubled from 342,000 in 1970 to 710,000 in 1976. Even Fort Wainwright saw action with charter flights operating from the military airfield. It took 29 construction camps and 14 airfields to build the pipeline. The airfields located north of Fairbanks included: Livengood, 5 Mile, Old Man, Prospect, Coldfoot, Dietrich, Chandalar, Atigun, Galbraith, Toolik, Happy Valley, and Franklin Bluffs.

    ALASKAN GRAVITY BASE STATION NETWORK by DAVID F. BARNES UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY MENLO PARK, CALIFORNIA This report is preliminary and has not been edited or reviewed for conformity with Geological Survey standards Contents Description of data and tables Map of station locations and ties References Tables of base station data Area Description Pages A Enroute bases and southeast Alaska 1 B South Coast 2 C South Interior 6 D North Interior 12 E Yukon Flats 19 F Northeast Alaska 21 G Kodiak, Peninsula and Aleutians 22 H Southwest Coast 23 I Southwest 24 J West Interior 27 K Seward Peninsula 29 L Northwest 30 Alphabetical Index of Alaskan Localities ALASKAN GRAVITY BASE STATION NETWORK One phase of the U.S. Geological Survey's program to prepare a regional gravity map of Alaska (Barnes 1962, 1964, and 1967) has been the establishment of a network of accessible and reoccupiable base stations. Such a base station network provides the essential framework for any large gravity survey, and its precision determines the value of the geologic and geodetic interpretations that may be obtained from the gravity data. Neither the map nor the base station network have yet been completed, but preliminary release of some of the station descrip­ tions and observed gravities will provide better coordination between detailed surveys which are being initiated by other groups. Previous compilations of Alaskan gravimeter bases resulted from measurements published by Thiel, Bonini, Ostenso and Woollard (1958) and from pendulum observations by the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey (Rice, 1958). Many of the measurements made by Thiel and his co- corkers were later reevaluated and published as part of the international gravity network (Woollard and Rose, 1963).

  • Weather Bureau/National Weather Service History in Alaska
    Weather Bureau/National Weather Service History in Alaska ALASKA Location Type Years Details Anchorage WBO 1929-present The first Weather Bureau office in Anchorage was established 7/1/1929 WBAS on 4th Ave. It moved to Merrill Field in 1943, where rawinsonde DFO observations began in June 1946. The office was moved to the new WBFO Anchorage International Airport 11/1/1953. A forecast office was WBMO established in July 1964, and moved off the airport grounds in WSFO November 1968; a separate meteorological observatory remained at the WSO airport, while another office provided international flight documentation WSCMO and briefings. The WSMO was contracted out in October 1980. WFO RFC The Alaska RFC was established in 1971; river forecasts had been CWSU issued by the Alaska Regional HQ for a few years before. It was co- HQ located with the Anchorage WSFO and the regional HQ. It was located at the Hill Building and the Federal Building downtown, before moving to near the airport in 1995. In 1997, the office assumed responsibility for the Pacific Region as well, and was renamed the Alaska-Pacific RFC in 2000. A Center Weather Service Unit operates out off the Air Route Traffic Control Center, while a separate Alaska Aviation Weather Unit is co- located with the local WFO. Annette WBAS 1947-present The Weather Bureau opened an Airways Station in July 1947, initially WBO taking surface observations but assuming upper-air observations at the WSO end of the year. Barrow WBO 1920-present The first Weather Bureau building in Barrow was opened September WBAS 1920, but was severely damaged in a fire 12/19/1924.

DOWL HKM 300 W. 31st Avenue 4041 B Street Anchorage, Alaska 99503 www.AlaskaASP.com Anchorage, Alaska 99503 907-339-6500 907-562-2000 A message from the Desk of Steven D. Hatter, Deputy Commissioner – Aviation I am pleased to present this report on the Mission, Goals, Performance Measures and Classifications of Alaska’s Airports. The goals, objectives, performance measures, and airport classifications presented herein establish a framework to set priorities and guide our work in aviation. They also provide mechanisms to help implement the aviation-related goals and priorities identified in the Alaska Statewide Transportation Policy Plan (“Let’s Get Moving 2030”) and the Department’s 2011 Strategic Agenda. The development of a relevant and integrated system of goals, objectives, and performance measures provides the Department with a powerful tool for communicating with the public and legislators, managing resources, and motivating employees.
