SUI'TE Z00 I~NAI, AL.ASKA 99611 TELFPHONE 907~T951 FAX 907,i!8~3~3737 To: Airport Commission From: Rebecca Cronkhite - Airport Manager . Date: February 2, 2005 Subject: Float Plane Basin Fuel Tanks It has been brought to my attention that there is a desire on the part of several Float Plane Basin tenants to store fuel on site. There are numerous concerns and regulations affecting any fuel storage tanks, especially near water. The existing Airport policy has been to not allow tanks on the Basin. The prevailing reason for personal fuel tanks is the cost savings associated with purchasing bulk fuel. One tenant has proposed the airport allow tenants to pre-purchase fuel and store it in the existing fuel facility. This would allow tenants to take advantage of bulk fuel prices without the concern of private fuel tanks on the Basin. I have spoken to the City Manager, City Attorney, and Finance Director and they are interested in pursuing the matter further with the Airport Commission. Does Airport Commission wish to work toward developing this project for further review and possible implementation? www.ci.kenai.ak.us.

Each year the generosity of our commt~nity is so ~ncredible. This year we were able to provide a Christmas dinner and ex~a canned goods, as well as two new toys, a new outfit, underwear, socks, ~iats and tnittens for b3 families, including 186 children. We were also able to provide winter clothes and boots for children that needed them. This year, as in the past, v~e coordinated our efforts with other agencies here on the peninsula to prevent duplication and to ensure our funds went as far as . possi e. Our goal would have been impossible witliout your support and the support of athers in our community. Thanks again and best wishes for a happy and prosperous 2005 i Sincerely, Kimb Remsen Megan 0'Neill Philippa Sonnichsen Sears/Mt.

Chip is chief pilot and owner of Alaska Flying Network at Kenai Municipal Airport (PAEN). He also serves with AOPA's Airport Support Network and is an Aviation Safety Counselor for the Anchorage FSDO. The National Association of Flight Instructors (NAFI) takes pride in announcing a significant aviation accomplishment on the part of Charles B Versaw, owner of Alaska Flying Network and a resident of Kenai, AK, Recently, Chip was redesignated a Master CFI (Certificated Flight Instructor) by NAFI, his professional aviation education association. To help put this achievement in its proper perspective, there are approximately 85,000 CFIs in the United States. Fewer than 500 of them have achieved that distinction thus far. The last nine national Flight Instructors of the Year were Master CFIs while Chip is one of only 2 Alaskan aviation educators who has earned this prestigious "Master" title. The Master Instructor designation is a national accreditation recognized by the FAA that is earned by candidates #hrough -igorous process of continuing education and peer review. Much like a flight instructor's certificate, it must be renewed ~~nnially. This process parallels the continuing education regimen used by other professionals to enhance their ~nowledge base while increasing their professionalism. Simply put, the Master Instructor designation is a means by which to identify those outstanding aviation educators, those "Teachers of Flight," who have demonstrated an ongoing commitment to excellence, professional growth, and service to the aviation community. Earning this designation is tantamount to having the words summa cum laude emblazoned on an instructor's certificate. These Masters truly represent the creme de !a creme of our industry! To publicly recognize these individuals and their noteworthy accomplishments, NAFI will be hosting its "Meet the Masters" breakfasts, to which Chip will be invited, during EAA's AirVenture in Oshkosh and Sun 'n Fun in Lakeland. Any support that can be provided will be appreciated. NAFI is dedicated to providing support and recognition for America's aviation educators while helping them raise and maintain their level of professionalism. It is also committed to providing a safe and effective learning environment for student pilots. The Association was founded in 1967 and affiliated with EAA in May of 1995. Please feel free to disseminate this information.

AAAE To Offer Advice On Biometrics TSA has requested AAAE's recommen- dations as the agency develops its con- gressionally mandated guidance for the use of biome~ic technology in airport access control systems, Under terms of the intelligence reform bill signed by the President in December, TSA must issue its biometric guidance by March 31, ?005. The new law requires that TSA's guidance must include: (1) techni- cal and operational biometnc requirements and standards; (2) a plan for creating and maintaining a list of biometric airport ac- cess control devices, known as a Qualified Products List (QPL), and (3) procedures that will aid in airport implementation, in- cluding a best practices guidance. AAAE will work with its Transporta- tion Security Services Committee to de- velop comments. Association members who are interested in joining the commit- tee and participating in the biometrics di- alogue should e-mail Rebecca Morrison at rebecca.momson@aaae.org, or Carter Morris at carter.morris@aaae.org. DOT Seeks Air Service Applications DOT is requesting communities to apply for Small Community Air Service Devel- opment Program grants for this year. Approximately $20 million is avail- able for up to a total of 40 grants to help communities address their local air ser- vice problems, such as high fares and in- sufficient levels of service, DOT said. DOT said it will give priority to pro- posals from communities that: have high air fares compared to other communities, contribute financially to the project from sources other than airport revenues, have established or will establish a publiclpri- vate partnership to improve their air ,~ service, submitted proposals that ~, Q°' will benefit a broad segment of ~° the public with limited access to `~~~, the national transportation system, •4,4F and will use the assistance in a timely February 1, 2005 fashion. DOT Secretary Norman Mineta noted that many grant recipients from previous years already have benefited from the grants or will soon gain new or upgraded air service because of the grants. Addition- ally, he said that passenger tiaffc in- creased at most local airports where a grant went into effect over the past three years. Grant applications are due Apri122. DOT's request for proposals is available on the Internet at http://dms.dot.gov, docket number OST-2005-20127. Com- munity proposals also will be filed in this docket. Information on 2004 grant recipients is available at docket OST- 2004-17343, on 2003 grant recipients at docket OST-2003-150b5, and on 2002 grant recipients at docket OST-2002- 115 90. Technology To Speed Clearances At JFK DHS announced that the U.S. would be- gin deploying enhanced technology to expedite securiry checks and immigra- tion processing of pre-screened, interna- tional travelers through New York's Kennedy [nternational. Further, the department said officials wil( work with the Netherlands to devel- op an international registered traveler program. The improvements at Kennedy Inter- national will be deployed in the coming weeks, while U.S. and Dutch officials will commence discussions to design and implement an international regis- tered travel pilot program, DHS said. FAA Issues Dulles Impact Statement FAA said its Draft Environmental Impact ~ Statement (DEIS} that addresses propos- ~~ A~o als for two new runways and related ''~c improvements at Washington '~FO Dulles International is available ~~~ for public review. . ~ The agency will hold two com- c°~ ~~ (continued on following page) ~~\~ ',1 1~~.I. F ~ ` ~ i ~ i Y ~ ~ _ / I , ' bined open house/public hearings on the draft impact statement in February. The Metropolitan Washington Air- ports Authority, which operates Dulles, has proposed an additional north•south runway, a new east-west runway, and parallel and connector taxiways. The au- thority's plan also calls for development of a third midfield concourse and navi- gational aids. Two alternatives to the proposed action and a no-build (or no- action) alternative are evaluated in the Draft EIS, The DEIS does not offer any final de- cisions on the proposed Dulles project and does not propose any mitigation measures for the environmental issues studied. FAA said that, after it holds public heanngs and reviews all com- ments, it will develop measures to miti- gate the environmental impacts identi- fied, based on whether the authority's proposal or an alternative is selected. The DEIS is available for public re- view on the web at www.mwaa.com/ dul les/EnvironmentalStudiesl RunwaysEIS.htm, FAA Reduces Vertical Separation Minimum FAA said that airlines and travelers alike will save time and money under a new rule that took effect Jan. 20 that doubled the number of high-altitude airspace routes be- tween 29,000 feet and 41,000 feet, The change will give pilots and air traffic controllers additional choices by allowing aircraft to fly more direct routes at the most fuel-efficient altitudes, FAA said. The change will be invisible to pas- sengers, the agency added. In moving to Reduced Vertical Separa- tion Minimum (RVSM), FAA reduced the minimum vertical separation of aircraft from 2,000 to 1,000 feet. The change adds capacity while still maintaining the high- est level of safety because most aircraft now are equipped with advanced, more precise altimeters and autopilots, FAA ex- plained. The agency said it will closely monitor high•altitude flying at its air traf fic con~ol enroute centers to ensure a safe transition to RVSM. Although vertical minimum separation has been reduced, air- craft still must stay at least 5.75 miles away from planes at the same altitude. RVSM has been implemented safely over the last seven years from Europe to Australia and over most of the North At- lantic and Pacific Oceans, FAA said. In the summer of 2003, FAA estimated that RVSM would save airlines and other aircraft operators $5.3 billion through 2016, a conservative estimate consider- ing the increase in jet fuel since 2003. The agency estimated the cost of imple- menting RVSM to be $8b9 million, pri- marily to airlines that needed to re-equip older aircraft. All Western Hemisphere countnes converted to RVSM simulta- neously on Jan. 20, FAA said. U.S., India Reach 4pen Skies Accord The U.S. and India on Jan. 15 initialed an open skies aviation agreement. Under the new accord, airlines from both coun- tries will be allowed to select routes and destinations based on consumer demand, DOT said. The agreement provides for open routes, capacity, frequencies, designa- tions and pricing, as well as opportuni- ties for cooperative marketing arrange- ments, including bilateral code sharing with domestic Indian carriers. The agree- ment also allows all-cargo operators to operate in either country without direct- ly connecting to their homeland. The provisions expected to provide the greatest economic benefit, such as those affecting routes and code sharing, take effect immediately, DOT said. The entire agreement will come into force once it is signed, which is expected to take place in the near future. Fitch: U.S. Airports May Face Financial Risk Several negative factors affecting the U.S. aviation industry "may expose the nation's airports to a greater degree of fi- nancial risk over the next 12-24 months," according to a new study from Fitch Ratings. Fitch cited risk factors that include the heightened possibility for the liqui- dation of one or more major airlines; growing infrastructure needs driven by rising passenger levels, a portion of which may prove to be transient; con- straints placed on capital generation due to the troubled financial condition of the nation's airlines and reduced federal re- sources, and the potential for changes in use and lease agreements that may in- crease the financial risk assumed by air- port operators, the ratings firm said. As the financial and operational risks facing the nation's airports rise, the po- tential for changes to individual airport ratings also increases, with an airline liq- uidation most likely to lead to rating re- visions, according to Fitch. Airline "par- simony" also may become evident in the renegotiation of use and lease agree- ments that expire over the next 24 months, as the carriers seek more cost re- ductions, Fitch said. US Airways, ATSB Reach Agreement ~ bankruptcy court judge has approved an agreement between US Airways and the Air Transportation Stabilization board (ATSB) that will allow the carrier to use cash coilateral from its federally guaranteed loan through June 30. US Airways had an interim financing arrangement with the ATSB to use the collateral. That agreement was to expire Jan. 15. With the extension, US Airways said it will be able to continue operations while it completes its financial restructuring in time to emerge from bankruptcy, The carrier also announced that it has reached leasing and financing agree- ments with Embraer, Bombardier and DVB Bank for a total of six regional jets.

These will be the first regional jets deliv ered to the company since US Airways filed for Chapter 11 in September 2004. CO Finalizes ~99 Million In Cost Cuts Continental said it has finalized $99 million in annual wage and benefit re- ~, ductions and work rule changes for its domestic airport ticket, gate, ramp, oper- ations and cargo agent employees. The spending cuts are part of $500 million in annual savings the airline said it needs to achieve by Feb. 28 to fend off ~ ~ a potential liquidity crisis. Continental announced $48 million in pay and benefits changes for management and clerical employees on Dec.14, and $22 million in similar changes for reser- vations and other employees on Dec.1 b. The combined savings so far total $1 b9 million of the $500 million in re- ~ ductions Continental has targeted. The canier said it will continue to work with each of its other employee groups to develop a package of wage and benefit reductions and work rule changes. Continental said it expects the total package will be effective Feb. 28. SW, ATA Code Share To Begin Feb. 4 Southwest announced that its codeshare service with ATA will begin Feb. 4. Southwest passengers may connect at Chicago Midway for travel between se- lect Southwest cities and the following ATA destinations: Boston Logan, Den- ver International, Southwest Florida In- ternational (serving Ft. Myers/Naples), Honolulu International, MinneapolislSt. Paul International, New York's La- Guardia, Newark Liberty International, San Francisco Intemational, Sarasota- Bradenton Airport, St, PetersburglClear- water International, and Reagan Wash- ington National Airport, The mayors of Dallas and Fort Worth expressed dismay that Southwest de- clined to extend its codeshare agreement with ATA Airlines to passengers at Dal- las Fort Worth International. The two officials said Southwest ``could have chosen to code share at DFW through ATA, which operates eight flights daily from DFW to Chicago l~sid- way Airport and Indianapolis, with no additional operational costs." BWI Improves Shuttle Bus System Baltimore-Washington International has put into service 50 new buses to provide continuous shuttle service between the terminal, airport parking facilities, and the BWI rail station served by MARC and Amtrak trains. The new buses, which have a 35 per- cent increase in capacity over the old buses, are ADA compliant and include a "kneeling" function, luggage racks, ~vheelchair access ramps, highly visible electronic signs, a GPS satellite tracking function, and a"talking bus" alert sys- tem to inform passengers of upcoming stops. The airport's shuttle buses carry about S.S million customers a year. FAA Removes limit On Controiler Hiring FAA said it will extend the hiring eligi- bility period for college students with training in air traffic control as part of the agency's effort to hire and train more controllers over the next 10 years. The present policy requires students of air traffic control training programs to start employment with the agency within two years of graduation. The new rule allows graduates of schools in FAA's Collegiate Training Initiative to apply for a one-year exten- sion of hiring eligibility each year until they reach the maximum hiring age for controllers of 31. Flint, Mich., Airport Completes Expansion Flint's (Mich.) Bishop International Air- port recently celebrated the completion of its landside terminal expansion project.

This advanced school is designed for individuals who have either attended an earlier ASOS School or have at least three years experience in airport op- erations. The case studies are modeled after the Harvard Business School's Executive Management Program. The school uses fewer prepared presentations and more problem-solving workshops, role-playing sce- narios and breakout groups so that all attendees can actively participate in the proceedings. Best management practices and lessons learned by participating airports encourged to be discussed during the breakout sessions. However, in the interest of time, these practices and lessons should be streamlined to address the topics for each case.

Today, nearly 40 percent of the world's goods are trans- ported by the air cargo sector. Air cargo is the fastest-growing segment of the aviation industry today. All projections show this growth continuing for the foreseeable future. While larger airports are struggling to provide the needed air cargo capacity, regional airports are building air cargo facilities to meet carrier needs and in hope of attracting new cargo carriers. Can the regional airports relieve the demands for air cargo capacity at the larger airports, or is this a case of "build it and they will come?" How can this region meet all the demands for direct international air cargo Service in the future? May 23 and will end at 12 p.m, on Tuesday, May 24. Registration fees include the opening reception, con- tinental breakfast on Monday and Tuesday, lunch on Monday, coffee breaks and all handout materials. A Monday night Social Event is also included. Confir- mation of registration will be faxed to attendees. For further program informadon, contact Claudio Ternieden, AAAE, at (103) 824-0500, Ext.198, or e-mail claudio.temieden@auportnet.org. For further re~stranon information, contact Kathy Houston, AAAE, at Ext 185 or e- mail kathy.houstonC'airpormet.org. AGENDA (subjecrto change) The conference will examine what business consum- ers in this region want today from their air cargo service providers to meet their supply chain require- ments. Participants will learn from carriers what they look for in establishing direct international service. Key federal officials from the Federal Aviation Administration and the Transportation Security Administration will also provide the latest in capac- ity planning and security information. Private vendors will provide information on advances in cargo screenin~ options. The conference will bring together all players in the air cargo system with the goal of ~nding innovative solutions to the air cargo capacity limitations. Participants will have the opportunity to network and gain better understanding of the issues affecting air cargo in the region and in the country while meeting those who also face some of the same challenges and apply the same technologies. Partici- pants will be able to learn about new trends and technologies and to improve on their skills affecting such an important sector of our economy. Attendees will be able to learn first hand what works and learn how to deploy the right tools to improve air cargo services in their airports. All sessions will take place at the Marriott Kansas City Downtown. The opening reception will be held from 6-7 p.m. (registration opens at 5:30 p.m.) on May 22.

May 23-25, ~005 ~ Minneapolis, Minnesota ~ Mtg. #050506 The American Association of Aitport Execurives (AAAE) is pleased to present the eighth Aviation Security for Law Enforcement Officers Training Course for LEOs around the coun- try! Denved from a training course requu~ed by California state law, airport personnel with security responsibilities are encouraged to take this important course that will prepare them to p~tect their airport in this time of unprecedented se~curity requirements and concerns. Over 300 LEOs, TSA and security personnel from large and small airports across the country have attended the first seven nationwide trainings. WHO SHOULD AT"TEND? This urvque tra~aining is valuable for new and expenenced security staff who a~t~e already, or will be, assigned to an auport. The matenal covered can be applied to small, medium or large hub airports any- where in the country. The following should attend -~ Airport LEOs -~ Airport Security Coordinators -~ . TSA Personnel -~ Airport Di~ctors -~ Others with secunty responsibilities at an aiiport (must have SIDA badge) Note: This course does NOT meet theASC training requirement in TSR 1542.3 or the 832.1 requirement in California. WHAT DOES THE TRAINING COVER? Taught as a combinaaon of presentaeons, videos, case studies and demonstiations by expenenced LEOs at some of the worid's busi- est intemational auports, this naining will cover several topics (subject to change), including: -~ History of Aviation Security -~ Legal Aspects of Avianon Security -~ Threat Assessment to Civil Aviation -~ The Role of the TSA and FAA in Law Enforcement -~ Unattended Bags, Suspicious Packages and Improvised Explosive Devices -~ Ai~port Bomb Squads and Canine Prograrns ~} Terminal Evacuations -~ Case Study Exercises: Emergency Response, Security Breaches, M[ANPADS, ~ehicle Bombs -~ Passenger Screening/Flying Armed -~ Hijack Management ~ Airport-Specific Crimes -~ Dealing with the Media V~VHAT ARE TI~ BENEFITS OF THIS G? -~ LEOs will be properly prepared to prevent, mitigate and respond to secunty-related inci- den~s anywhere on airport property ~ New TSA and other related security requirements will be clarified -~ LEOs will learn the most effective methods to secure an aupo~t from highly experienced airport LEOs, while sharing ideas with LEOs from airports around the country ~ Economical way to tiain multiple LEOs PREVIOUS TRAININGS WELL-RECEIVED LEOs from around the country can attest to the fact that this course is important to airpo~t security. Tim Carey, a canine officer with Phoenix Sky Harbor Internarional Ai~po~, said that, "This course should be taught to every LEO working at an airpo~." David N[artin with the El Paso Police Department/Ai~port Division commented that the LEO ~aining was "instructional and gave me several ideas to take back to the airport" about how to make the auport more secure for the flying public. Additionally, more than 90% of the attendees at the first seven trainings said that they would definitely recommend this cowse to their colleagues.

A kickoff meeting was heid with FAA on December 7 and a public work session with Council and Commission on December 9. From these meetings the team will refine the process and timeline and move ahead with various elements. Terminal Access Project: The heated sidewalks are operational and a great benefit to all who utilize the airport terminal. There is still some finish work to be done but the main portions of the project are complete. FedEx: We continue to work on various scenarios with our contacts to encourage FedEx to choose a permanent location on the airport. Airport Certi~cation Manual (ACM): The FAA recently adopted major changes to Federal Aviation Regulation ~FAR) Part 139 requiring a major rewrite of the Airport Certification Manual. Administrative Assistant Mary Bondurant attended training on the changes to FAR Part 139 and assumed the lead role in revising the ACM. The completed manual was delivered to FAA for review and approval early this month. Medallion Foundation: Mayor Porter, Henry Knackstedt, and Mike Pannone of the Medallion Foundation cut the ribbon announcing the installation of an Advance Training Device (ATD) in the airport terminal. This equipment allows pilots to practice their flying skills while still on the ground. Use of the equipment is free.

A work session with Airport Commission and interested Council members is scheduled for February 15 at 7:00 p.m. in Council Chambers. Terminal Access Project: We love the heated sidewalks-especially with the freezing rain we have experienced this winter. The Contractor is progressing on the finish work for the entryways, handrails are installed and new doors are scheduled to be installed this week. FedEx: We continue to work with several private developers to find a suitable on- airport location for FedEx. Agrium: In response to the recent news of a possible closure of the Agrium Facility the staff is developing contingency plans for storing Prilled Urea runway deicer. This chemical is our primary resource to keep the runway open and ice-free. All of the commercial service airports in the State of Alaska utilize this chemical for runway de- icing. We feel confident a source will be available although shipping from Canada will increase the cost. Our primary focus is on storage. The airport currently picks up urea directly from the plant on an as-needed basis. If the Agrium plant ceases operation, the airport will purchase in bulk and store the urea. There are several cost effective ways to accomplish this and a full report will be provided to the City Manager this summer. Medallion Foundation: The flight simulator is being used on a reguiar basis bringing piiots to the airport and the restaurant. Kenai Peninsula Air Fair: The Kenai Airport staff and Commission are gearing up for the 5t" Annual Kenai Peninsula Air Fair. This ear's event is scheduled for Saturday, Y May 21. Mark your calendars and give Mary a call if you want to volunteer. Airport Car Rental Concession Agreements: After consulting with our individual car rental agencies and City Administration we are in agreement to extend the current contracts for 11 months under the same terms. This results in several benefits to the City and the Concessionaires including a resolution to the Era Aviation sale, an opportunity for the Airport Consultants to review our current concession agreements, and completion of the parking iot revisions.

Box I96960 Anchorage, AK 99519-6960 222 W ?t" Avenue #14 Anchora~e, Alaska 99513-7587 Sub'ect: Enforcement Action for Recurring Vehicle or Pedestrian Deviations (VPD) at Part 139 J Certificated or Federally Obligated Airports Dear Mr. Plumb; I am auite concerned about the recent r~se in v~PDs at airports in our region. VVe have had at least one VPD at each of the three largest and busiest airports (ANC, FAI and JNU) in the Iast several weeks. Each af these incursions has been committed by personnel who should have known the proper rules and procedures. In addition, we have experienced several VPDs at the busiest GA airpor~ in the state (MRI}. This follows closely on the heels of our dubious distinction of having led the nation in ~PDs in FY 2004. As you know numerou.s FA.A letters, e-mails, and aviation forums (D~T& PF quarterly aviation safety meetings, FAAID~T&.PF joint training seminars, etc) have been distnbutedl completed aver the past year ta reduce/preclude VPD's and promote safety; hawever, a problem still exists with VPDs at Alaskan airports. We, ~1laskan Airports Division and HQ FAA, believe a stronger initiative is warranted to preclude or reduce the number of ~TPD incidents at airports within the Ataskan Region. Considering all the facts and circumstances that have led to the 19 recurring VPD's at Alaskan airports this past year, I am compelled to implement enforcement action in accordance wtth olicies in FAA 4rder 2150.3 and 5824.5 against airports that experience recurring VPD's. This P enforcement policy is effective for ail recurring VPDs taking place on or after December 20, 2044. Zn closing, we urge the cer.tificatedlfederal obli~ated airports to give this new ~1PD enforcement olic letter the widest dissemination among its tenant units/vendors; thus promoting and p y, . , ., . . . , . . . . edueating the public on its cntical role in ass~sting the airport in ma~ntairung a vlable and healthy runway safety pro~ram. At all cost, we must reassure the public that aviation and public safety will not be jeopa~dized in the Alaskan Region. . 1 ( ~2.~' ~* We o~fer our continued support in resolving the V~D iss~es across the region.
