  • Informational Handout: King County International Airport-Boeing Field Seattle, Washington
    Informational Handout: King County International Airport-Boeing Field Seattle, Washington Published Visual Flight Rules (VFR) routes for arrivals and departures. Project Background The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) cancelled two existing VFR routes for aircraft landing and departing King County International Airport-Boeing Field (KBFI) and replaced them with newly defined routes (retaining some of the existing names). The term “routes” can best be described in this instance as a “set of pre-coordinated instructions” that is given to VFR pilots. The routes enhance safety by increasing separation between arrival and departure flows into KBFI, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (KSEA), and Renton Municipal Airport (KRNT). Purpose of Changes There have been Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) events involving VFR aircraft arriving and departing KBFI, and these routes are intended to reduce TCAS events and enhance safety. TCAS monitors the airspace around an aircraft for other aircraft equipped with proper equipment, independent of air traffic control, and warns pilots of the presence of other properly equipped aircraft in the immediate area. Project Description The project results in a change to past operating procedures by publishing several existing routes for VFR aircraft to use when arriving and departing from either runway configuration at KBFI. KBFI Airport Traffic Control Tower (BFI ATCT) now has the ability to assign published routes rather than issuing tailored instructions. The new VFR routes provide better predictability, enhance safety, and improve the segregation of aircraft arriving and departing KBFI. What Changed The new VFR routes follow pre-existing air traffic flight tracks that are assigned by BFI ATCT and no new areas will experience new air traffic overflights.

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.

  • City of Renton Seaplane Base Maintenance Dredging, Challenges Beyond the Scope of Maintenance Dredging
    Proceedings of Western Dredging Association and Texas A&M University Center for Dredging Studies' "Dredging Summit and Expo 2015" CITY OF RENTON SEAPLANE BASE MAINTENANCE DREDGING, CHALLENGES BEYOND THE SCOPE OF MAINTENANCE DREDGING J. G. Dawson1, R. S. Phillips2 ABSTRACT The City of Renton’s (City) Will Rogers-Wiley Memorial Seaplane Base is located at the southern end of Lake Washington in Renton, Washington, adjacent to the Cedar River delta. Maintenance dredging was required at the end of 2013 in order to mitigate for Cedar River flooding that occurred in 2009, which caused large amounts of sediment to be deposited near the existing seaplane base facilities. Built-up sediment near the temporary mooring facilities and access ramp had a significant effect on seaplane pilot safety, due to limited depths during taxi, take-off and landing operations. Coast & Harbor Engineering was hired to assist with regulatory permitting, final design and assist with construction management during dredging operations. Several issues related to permitting, the development of feasible design criteria, and restriction son construction operations, made dredging at the seaplane base challenging. The first issue of the project was that a portion of the dredge prism was within Washington State submerged lands, which meant the Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) was partially responsible for providing financial assistance to the City of Renton for dredging activities as part of mitigating the effects of the 2009 flood event. Second, a portion of the dredge prism was within privately owned submerged lands requiring the City to obtain easements to dredge these areas. Third, King Country Metro sewer lines and private communication lines restricted the dredge prism to strict offsets, limited room for construction equipment and required atypical dredge cuts.

Th is trail would connect the cities of Renton, Tukwila, SeaTac, Burien, and Des Moines, as well as the recreational, residential, retail, and employment areas within these cities. Starting at the southern end of Lake Washington in Renton, the trail follows the existing Cedar River Trail south along the banks of the Cedar River into Cedar River Park. Th e trail meanders by the Renton Municipal Airport, with its long and proud heritage of serving planes inspired by Boeing’s top designers, and skirts the northern edge of the downtown district of Renton. Th e trail off ers excellent views of and access to the Cedar River. At the Cedar River Park, one can continue along the river to the City of Seattle’s Cedar River Watershed or turn west to follow the Lake to Sound Trail. Continuing west into downtown Renton, the trail connects through Tonkin Park to the old Renton train station, which served the Spirit of Washington dinner train. At this point, the trail follows the railroad tracks, which provide sweeping regional views of Renton and eventually plunge into the forested canopy of the Black River Riparian Forest.

The Airport Manager, in coordination with commercial aeronautical activity providers, will review the Minimum Standards at least every five (5) years. Document Update – Action Taken Date of Action 2 Renton Airport: Airport Regulations and Minimum Standards Welcome to the Renton Airport! The Renton Municipal Airport is a well-established airport that offers a wide range of flight related services. The Airport is owned and operated by the City of Renton. Originally known as Bryn Mawr Airfield, it began in 1922 as a 1,500–foot, soft-surface runway and seaplane base. In 1947, after World War II, the federal government declared it surplus land and signed it over to the City of Renton for $1 with the understanding that the City would continue to operate it as an airport. Today, the Renton Airport is a general aviation airport that serves Renton among many other nearby communities. The Airport provides regional aviation services for air charter, air taxi, corporate, business, and recreational flyers. It is also an FAA-designated "Reliever" Airport, diverting general aviation aircraft traffic from the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. Renton Airport is used predominately by single-engine piston aircraft, and ranks among the top six airports in the State of Washington in terms of aircraft landings and takeoffs.

  • FAA Runway Safety Report FY 2000
    FAA Runway Safety Report Runway Incursion Trends and Initiatives at Towered Airports in the United States, FY 2000 – FY 2003 August 2004 Preface THE 2004 RUNWAY SAFETY REPORT1 presents an assessment of runway safety in the United States for fiscal years FY 2000 through FY 2003. The report also highlights runway safety initiatives intended to reduce the severity, number, and rate of runway incursions. Both current progress and historical data regarding the reduction of runway incursions can be found on the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) web site (http://www.faa.gov). Effective February 8, 2004, the FAA implemented an organizational change that created an Air Traffic Organization (ATO) in addition to its Regulatory functions. Safety Services, within the ATO, has assumed the responsibilities of the former Office of Runway Safety. Therefore, this FAA Runway Safety Report, which covers a period prior to the implemen- tation of the ATO, is the last in a series of reports that exclusively presents information on runway safety. Safety performance will be an integral part of future ATO products. 1 A glossary of terms and a list of acronyms used in this report are provided in Appendix A. Federal Aviation Administration 1 Executive Summary REDUCING THE RISKS OF RUNWAY INCURSIONS AND RUNWAY COLLISIONS is a top priority of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Runway safety management is a dynamic process that involves measuring runway incursions as well as understanding the factors that contribute to runway collision risks and taking actions to reduce these risks. Runway incursion severity ratings (Categories A through D) indicate the potential for a collision or the margin of safety associated with an event.
