| Above: this airport diagram shows the locations of “surface incidents” that occurred here in FY2013. Blue circles denote pilot deviations; red circles denote vehicle or pedestrian deviations; the green circle indicates an air traffic control “operational incident.” Most of the incidents that year were attributable at least in part to issues related to Taxiway Alpha construction activity.
Above: the conference hall at the last session on the last day of the 2016 AAAE GA Issues & Security Conference … great attendance at a great conference. Above: this chart illustrates the relative numbers of General Aviation airports in the five states of the FAA Southwest Region that are eligible for federal grants. Below: this chart shows the proportions of AIP discretionary funds distributed by state in the FAA Southwest Region from FY2010 through FY2015.  
Eleven airport tenants participated in the RSAT, providing their essential perspective to the discussions. Since the last RSAT was held (in May, 2015) Addison Airport recorded seven pilot deviations, one vehicle deviation, and one operational incident. These were reviewed by Tower personnel and discussed by the group. From these discussions, a Runway Safety Action Plan (RSAP) proposing ways to mitigate operational hazards was produced. In another closely related matter, about a year ago Addison Airport was asked by FAA to participate in a grant-funded Runway Incursion Mitigation (RIM) study, which we did. The RIM study is a nationwide program that is focused on identifying causal factors that are common to many runway incursions (a runway incursion is the improper or unauthorized presence of an aircraft, vehicle, or pedestrian on a runway). Airport geometry is a particular area of focus. On August 24th, the RIM study team visited Addison to discuss findings and additional steps that could be taken to reduce potential hazards at Addison. The team concluded that Addison has already done just about as much as can practically be done to address the issues.
