FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION
2007 Partnership Conference
March 6-8, 2007
Hilton Hotel, Fort Worth, Texas
The Regional Administrator was not available so the Deputy, Terry Brunner welcomed
the very large crowd to the annual Spring Conference. She supported the recommended
funding program for the FAA. There is a big fight underway as the large Commercial
Aviation companies support the program and the small operators do not. Kelvin Solco,
Manager Airports Division, took over from her to introduce the Guest Speaker.
• Kirk Shaffer, Associate Administrator for Airports opened his presentation with reasons
why the new funding mechanism was the right thing to do. His primary reason was that
the trust fund is down to $ 1 .513 and decreasing. The new funding plan will spread the
• expense among the user base and generate the necessary funds.
There are many disadvantages to the new funding program, but one benefit to GA
airports is that airports with more than 100 based aircraft, entitlement funding increases
from 150K to 400K annually. Airports with fewer aircraft receive less entitlement
funding.
Kelvin presented 2006 in review. At the very top on his list of accomplishments was the
fact that the Southwest Region had funded 11 RSA improvement projects. This is but
one reason to be very positive about FYV receiving funding for our RSA Improvement
Project. He reemphasized that all projects must have a, comprehensive safety plan and
that the plan is a Sponsor Requirement. We always have a safety plan but have left it to
the engineer to prepare. This isnot a problem as long as we are thoroughly familiar with
the plan.
The balance of the conference was breakout sessions on various subjects. I attended the
GA track where much of it was old news. Some new news:
FAA has stopped funding ILS approaches in preference to LPV and RNAV
approaches which do not require extensive ground equipment installation.
Another revision of Compliance Standards is in the works. The last revision was
in March 2005.
• It is recommended that Rules and Regulations be separate from Minimum
Standards. We have very few rules but will work to make this change.

Reemphasized the restricted use of airport funds and gave an example of giving
free land as not permitted. Airports must get air market value.
Talked about thru-the-fence agreements on airports and the requirement to receive
fair value for the right to enter the airport.
Leases should include rights and powers clauses and specific language to restrict
the use of hangars.
Prior to getting a new instrument approach, the airport must have a current '
Runway Obstruction Survey (ROS) and a Glidepath Qualification Survey
(GQS). We need new surveys.
Part 77 surfaces may finally change this year. They have been working on the
change since 1984. The most significant change is the primary runway
surface (floor) width from 500 feet to 1000 feet. Should not be a problem
for us as we already use 1000 feet.
The Arkansas delegation met in caucus to discuss two bills being considered by the
Arkansas House. HB 2022 is a bill filed by Rep Hyde of NLR to take 25% of the
aviation funding which normally goes to the Arkansas Department of Aeronautics for use
by all Arkansas airports through the grant program. Most of the Arkansas airports are
against the bill. The second bill is HB 2647 which limits to 25% the total amount of
money that can be granted by the Arkansas Department of Aeronautics for Hangar
construction. Again, most present were against this bill as well.

February 2007
AVIATION:
February activity picked up a bit as the weather improved. There was a record 18 Sports Charters
scheduled in the month. The planes were only those that required Prior Approval to land at our airport due
to the ARFF requirement. We hope that the Football program will use our airport next season. Fuel sales
were average with the January/Febmary total exceeding last year by just a little.
The Mayor and many of the airport board members came to the airport to formally break ground for the
Hangar Project (two hangars). The contractor is moving right along. They should start the concrete work
for foundations and floors by mid March.
• Final PAPI certification is still not done and the equipment is still NOTAM'd out. We are waiting on the
FAA.
The Walker family has decided to continue toward the construction of a new hangar on the new West Side
GA Ramp. We will process the lease when they decide on the size of the building.
Wilma's Place is moving in furniture and restaurant equipment. They still plan to open in late March or
first of April.
We met with each of the delegation staffs on our Runway 16 RSA improvement project. Each was
receptive to the need. We also met with our Washington DC Lobby Team to discuss the project. They are
unsure as to the eligibility of the project through the AIP. I have met with the FAA Southwest Region and
eligibility has never been a problem since it is an RSA improvement project.
The Little Rock FAA FSDO made a no-notice inspection of the airport fuel farm. Million Air was in the
progress of improving the farm and had identified all problems. The Inspector was satisfied that the new
FBO manager was up to date on the proper operation and maintenance of a fuel storage facility. Million
Air is already working on the fixes needed as a result of the inspection.
We continue to work with people from Maynard Industries to consummate a lease for property on the
airport to build an aviation related industry. City Council approved the State ADED Tax Back Program for
the company.
We presented our Airport development plan to the Fayetteville Optimist Club.
FAA has directed that we conduct a wildlife survey for the airport. We have contacted the USDA Wildlife
Services who will conduct the survey and provide the required documentation. Survey is scheduled for
March 13, 2007.

CC: Bob Barnard <Bob@bdc.com>
Gents,
I will not be able to attend the meeting, but want to wish you good
luck. I have spoken to Cody, the resident expert in our office
regarding EMAS. He concurs with location of EMAS as we have illustrated
it, as well as the need to provide 600' of standard width RSA prior to
the landing threshold for standard EMAS installation. This would result
in the 400' displaced threshold of Runway 16.
What he was hesitant to agree with was the EMAS length of 430 feet based
on a design aircraft of the G-111. He felt that length was incredibly
long for a GA runway. For instance, if we were to use a CRJ-200 as the
design aircraft, the length could be shortened to around 325 feet. I
used the G-111 because it is the only true GA aircraft in the EMAS
Advisory Circular. He also felt like that the location we show the EMAS
(i.e., 200' from the end of the runway) could further shorten the EMAS
length because a standard installation is 75' from the end of the
runway. However, there is no guidance provided in the AC that allows
for that circumstance. It would be for the EMAS manufacturer to
determine the exact dimensions required. Cody suggested getting ESCO
involved if you want actual design costs because there are so many
• variables involved. This is that "next step" 1 referenced in the Master
Plan Update if EMAS was selected as the alternative.
I am attaching our condensed version of the alternatives section. It
just focuses on the EMAS and rerouting of the highway alternatives. I
believe this should provide Ed with the information he was referring to
when he mentioned following the FAA's. guidance on RSA alternatives,
although the vast majority of it was included in the Master Plan Update
and could have answered most of his concerns if he had read it. I have
included yellow highlighted placeholders for costs in the text if you
want to add the actual costs once Wayne prepares them, but they
certainly are not necessary and the whole sentence could be deleted.
Again, best wished with the meeting and if anything needs to be
clarified don't hesitate to call.

Runway Safety Area Analysis
Introduction
Fayetteville Municipal Airport/Drake Feld has a non-standard Runway Safety Area (RSA) at the
approach end of Runway 16. As such, the Airport and FAA have made efforts to rectify this situation
In the past through grading and drainage Improvements that maximize the RSA size. However, these
actions did not bring the RSA Into compliance with current design standards as established by the
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in Advisory Circular (AC) 150/5300-13, Airport rieriga, Change
10. The purpose of this analysis Is to evaluate alternatives that will provide a standard RSA or provide
an equivalent level of safety.
The Airport has a current Airport Reference Code (ARC) of Gii, which indicates that the •
standard RSA width is 500 feet and the standard length is 1,000 feet. However, US.
Highway 71 restricts the size of the RSA to the west and Ernest Lancaster Drive restricts
the size to the east so that the maximum length of the standard width RSA is only 200
feet. The overall length provided is approximately902 feet, but the width at this
distance is only about 325 feet.
RSA Alternatives Assessment
FAA Order 5200.8, Rtmmy SafetyA na Pirgram provides guidance for evaluating various
alternatives that rectify non-standard RSA dimensions. The first alternative considered
should always be the provision of the traditional graded area meeting all dimensional
standards surrounding the runway. If this is not practical, then providing as much of the
standard area as possible should be pursued through the examinations of the following
alternatives.
• Relocating, shifting, or realigning the runway.
• Reducing runway length if the existing length exceeds the design aircraft needs.
• . A combination of runway relocation, shifting, grading, realignment, or reduction.
• Declared distances. •
•
• Engineered Materials Arresting Systems (EMAS).
As stated previously, Fayetteville Municipal Airport/Drake Field and the FAA have
maximized the RSA dimensions through past grading and drainage improvement
projects. At that time, it was determined that the remedial actions implemented were
sufficient because it was not practical to bring the Runway 16 RSA into conformance
with standards. However, that decision did not consider the use of EMAS as a viable
option, and the feasibility of relocating Us. Highway 71 was based on a suspect cost
estimate.
At Fayetteville Municipal Airport/Drake Field, relocating or realigning the runway are
not considered to be practical solutions based on the cost of acquiring additional airport
properly and the surrounding terrain limitations within the approaches to the Airport.
Likewise, shifting the runway is not feasible due to the financial costs of extending the
runway to the south that would require rerouting the drainage ditch or constructing a
drainage structure, relocating the localizer and glide slope antennas (with additional
earthwork required for each antenna), and relocation of the ODAIS at both runway ends.
Reduction of the overall runway length or using declared distances are likewise not
considered viable options because the existing runway length does not exceed the
• existing or projected design aircraft performance needs and would cause the Airport to
lose functional utility of the runway. The remaining options available for consideration
are the use of EMAS or rerouting Us. Highway 71, both of which are discussed below.
RSA Improvement Alternatives
Alternative One —Use EMAS. This alternative uses Engineered Materials Arresting
System (EMAS) to resolve the non-standard Runway 16 RSA. A standard EMAS provides
a level of safety that is generally equivalent to a standard RSA by means of high energy
absorbing materials of selected strength that will reliably and predictably fail under the
weight of an aircraft. Or more simply stated the EMAS is designed to stop an
overrunning aircraft by exerting predictable deceleration forces on its landing gear as the
material cnuhes.
Using guidelines and standards from AC 150/5220-22A, ErgirmralMareria/s AmdT
S3s&m (SMAS)forAimn Oremaa, it is estimated that the standard EMAS dimensions
should be approximately 430 feet in length and 100 feet in width. These dimensions are
based on a Gulfstream Gin aircraft with a gross weight of 69,700 pounds and using a
maximum runway exit speed of 70 knots. Its location is centered on the extended
runway centerline and setback as far as possible from the end of the runway to avoid
damage due to jet blast and undershoots. A reasonable setback location at Fayetteville
•
Municipal Airport/Drake Field is 200 feet from the end of the runway, as this
corresponds to the length beyond the Runway 16 threshold of the standard RSA width.
Guidelines from AC 150/5220-22A also indicate that a minimum of 600 feet in length of
the standard width RSA must be provided prior to a landing threshold providing
adequate protection for aircraft touching down prior to the runway threshold (ie., an
undershoot). This means that the Runway 16 landing threshold will be displaced 400
feet to provide the minimum 600 feet in length of the standard width RSA. The
following table provides the declared distances associated with Alternative One.

The EMAS design must be supported by a validated design method that can predict the
performance of the system. The design aircraft is defined as that aircraft imposing the
greatest demand upon the EMAS, which is usually, but not always, the heaviest/largest
aircraft that regularly uses the runway. EMAS performance is dependent not only on
aircraft weight, but landing gear configuration and tire pressure.
The use of EMAS does provide an equivalent level of safety as a standard RSA, but does
require significant installation and maintenance costs. Additional capital costs incurred
include the relocation of the Runway 16 ODMS, including the in-pavement placement of
one fixture and one fixture within the EMAS itself. Relocation of the Runway 16 PAPI
system, adjusting the runway light fixtures, and modification to the runway markings .
would also be required
While this alternative is an improvement on the existing conditions, it appears that a
vertically guided instrument approach to Runway 16 will not be feasible based on
penetrations to the TERPS Glidepath Qualification Surface, the runway end siting surface,
and the TERPS Visual Portion of the Final Approach Segment surface by the highway.
An order of magnitude cost estimate for this alternative is $ + 1
•
Alternative Two —Relocate U.S. Highway 71. This alternative relocates US. Hrghtay 71
to the west and Ernest Lancaster Drive to the north near the approach end of Runway
16 that provides the necessary land area required for a standard RSA. The Airport
currently owns approximately 17 acres of land west of US. Highway 71 in this general
area, and would need to acquire about four additional acres to accommodate the
rerouted highway.
By relocating the highway and road, the provision of a vertically guided instrument
approach procedure to Runway 16 appears feasible. However, assuring the ability for
the approach procedure will require careful application of the TERPS Glidepath
Qualification Surface, the runway end siting surface, and the TERPS Visual Portion of the
Final Approach Segment surface with the final highway elevations.
It would appear that approximately 2,500 linear feet of US. 1-Tighway 71 would require
relocation for the provision of adequate land area for the standard RSA, as well to
provide ample clearance of the surfaces for a vertically guided instrument approach to
Runway 16. An order of magnitude cost estimate for this alternative is &
