The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) Aviation Division (WSDOT Aviation) published this handbook for the purpose of documenting policies, performance measures, and guidelines for the maintenance, construction, and operation of the state-managed airports. The handbook recognizes established standards and describes accepted aviation and engineering practices. The instruction provided by this handbook is intended to identify desired results, establish standardized requirements, and provide statewide uniformity in the administration, maintenance, and construction of airports managed by the state. The primary audience for this handbook is WSDOT Aviation staff, WSDOT maintenance staff, private contractors, airport volunteers, and other interests. Other local, state, and federal agencies and organizations that use the airport facilities should also be familiar with the guidance and instructions included in this handbook. The guidance is intended to complement airport design, construction, and maintenance techniques to promote uniformity of results among all WSDOT regions. WSDOT State-Managed Airport Handbook M 3072 Page 1-1 February 2011 Aviation System Overview Chapter 1 This handbook is divided into two primary sections. This first is comprised of an overview of WSDOT Aviation and its recent planning efforts, including the state-managed airport system plan and a review of the state-managed airports themselves. The second section will comprise the actual Airport Operating Handbook, a hands on manual that outlines the guidelines for typical airport operations within the WSDOT-managed airport system. This handbook is divided into the following seven chapters: Chapter 1 Aviation System Overview Chapter 2 State-Managed Airport System Overview Chapter 3 Airport Safety Guidelines Chapter 4 Airport Maintenance Guidelines Chapter 5 Airport Construction Guidelines Chapter 6 Airport Planning Guidelines Chapter 7 Airport Management Guidelines Note: It is important to recognize that this operations handbook is a continuation of WSDOT Aviation’s overall planning effort that began with the Long-Term Air Transportation Study (LATS) at the state aviation level and progressed to the state-managed airports level with the State-Managed Airport Study. All efforts are part of the overall WSDOT Aviation planning continuum and are designed to interface with and complement each other. Suggestions for corrections, additions, or improvements to this handbook are welcomed and encouraged. Any means of communication with WSDOT Aviation will be accepted and reviewed promptly. It is important to appreciate the context within which this handbook is being established. This chapter provides information on WSDOT Aviation and its goals, an overview of recent aviation planning initiatives, and a review of the State-Managed Airport Study, the basis of this handbook.

  • Aviation Activity Forecasts BOWERS FIELD AIRPORT AIRPORT MASTER PLAN
    Chapter 3 – Aviation Activity Forecasts BOWERS FIELD AIRPORT AIRPORT MASTER PLAN Chapter 3 – Aviation Activity Forecasts The overall goal of aviation activity forecasting is to prepare forecasts that accurately reflect current conditions, relevant historic trends, and provide reasonable projections of future activity, which can be translated into specific airport facility needs anticipated during the next twenty years and beyond. Introduction This chapter provides updated forecasts of aviation activity for Kittitas County Airport – Bowers Field (ELN) for the twenty-year master plan horizon (2015-2035). The most recent FAA-approved aviation activity forecasts for Bowers Field were prepared in 2011 for the Airfield Needs Assessment project. Those forecasts evaluated changes in local conditions and activity that occurred since the previous master plan forecasts were prepared in 2000, and re-established base line conditions. The Needs Assessment forecasts provide the “accepted” airport-specific projections that are most relevant for comparison with the new master plan forecasts prepared for this chapter. The forecasts presented in this chapter are consistent with Bowers Field’s current and historic role as a community/regional general aviation airport. Bowers Field is the only airport in Kittitas County capable of accommodating a full range of general aviation activity, including business class turboprops and business jets. This level of capability expands the airport’s role to serve the entire county and the local Ellensburg community. The intent is to provide an updated set of aviation demand projections for Bowers Field that will permit airport management to make the decisions necessary to maintain a viable, efficient, and cost-effective facility that meets the area’s air transportation needs.

Ziegler, P.E. 2702 South 42nd Street, Suite 201 Director Tacoma, Washington 98409-7322 [email protected] piercecountywa.org/pwu TO: Dan Roach, Chair Pierce County Council FROM: Deb Wallace, Airport and Ferry Administrator DATE: October 28, 2014 SUBJECT: Airport Security The purpose of this briefing paper is to provide an update to Council on the status of security upgrades at Pierce County's airports. Current Situation: The Pierce County Airport and Ferry division is in the process of upgrading gate access, fencing, and security lighting at both airports. In 2015 the division will implement an Airport Watch program to increase the safety and security at each facility. The improvements are being made due to incidents which have occurred at the airports over the last several years and at the request of airport tenants. Currently both airports are fenced with restricted access gates to enhance security, although there are gaps in the fencing allowing unauthorized pedestrian entry. These gaps will be addressed in early 2015. An electronic gate is being added to the north gate at Tacoma Narrows Airport (TIW) and the south gate is being outfitted with a mechanism to allow its use by those who are hearing impaired. Once that improvement is completed, 24 hour security will be implemented at TIW. Thun Field currently operates with 24 hour gate security. Prior to implementation, the airport commissions at each airport discussed airport security measures during the preceding year and staff coordinated the implementation of the security measures with airport tenants.

    Chapter 2 – Inventory of Existing Conditions BOWERS FIELD AIRPORT AIRPORT MASTER PLAN Chapter 2 – Inventory of Existing Conditions The purpose of this chapter is to document the existing facilities and conditions at Kittitas County Airport - Bowers Field (Airport Identifier Code: ELN). The airport is owned and operated by Kittitas County, Washington. This project replaces the 2004 Airport Master Plan Update1 and the Kittitas County – Bowers Field ALP Update – Airfield Needs Assessment,2 which served as primary sources for inventory data. However, where available, more current or comprehensive data have been included in the chapter to illustrate current conditions. Existing airfield facilities were examined during on-site inspections to update facility inventory data. The consultants also worked closely with county staff to review current facility and operational data maintained by the county. Airport Setting Bowers Field is located in Ellensburg, in central Kittitas County, Washington. The airport is located just outside the Ellensburg city limits, but within the Ellensburg Urban Growth Area (UGA), approximately two miles north of the city center. Ellensburg is the largest city in Kittitas County and is the county seat. The U.S. Census Bureau 2014 estimates of population were 42,522 for Kittitas County and 18,774 for the City of Ellensburg (incorporated area only). 3 1 Bowers Field Airport Master Plan Update (Bucher, Willis, Ratliff and Associates, 2004) 2 Kittitas County – Bowers Field ALP Update – Airfield Needs Assessment (Century West Engineering Corporation, 2012) 3 US Census Bureau, QuickFacts, http://www.census.gov/quickfacts/table/PST045214/00,53037,5321240, December 30, 2015.

Hello everyone, The weather was a big question as the Annual Lake Cushman Splash-in and Corn Roast weekend approached. The frontal passage occurred in the wee hours and the weather behind provided high enough ceilings fairly early on Saturday. We arrived about 9:45(early for us) and found another aircraft already there. It may not sound like a big deal, except this 172 on straight floats was from California. Walter Windus and his friend Mike had flown up to enjoy our gathering. Walter is a wealth of information and made a presentation on the places available to stop enroute for anyone wanting to make the trip to the Western Pilots Association 7/1/2017 Page 2 of 10 Splash -In this coming weekend at Clear Lake in Northern California. They actually would have made it in Friday afternoon, but the visibility went to crap just below the dam. They were welcomed Saturday morning by the usual hard working entourage of Bob & Diane Dempster, and Neil & Karen Williams who had spent the night and had stories to tell of the storm as it had pasted through. Don Schwabel showed up shortly there after with his huge cooker that he used for some of the best tasting corn I've ever put in my face.
