City Council
adopts Runway Safety Ordinance
The city-owned Santa Monica Airport has no runway safety
areas (RSAs) to protect against
overruns. The new ordinance reduces the risks arising from the
lack of safety areas, seeking to address that lack, the
sharp drop-off at the ends of the runway and the fact that homes sit
just below and within 300’ of the runway ends coupled with the
dramatic increase in the number of faster planes using the
Airport. The ordinance enhances safety by preventing faster
aircraft, in the C and D categories, from using the
airport.
One of the
declarations, from safety expert and former Chairman of the National
Transportation and Safety Board James Hall, attests to the importance
of runway safety areas and to the NTSB’s repeated, but unavailing,
efforts to convince the FAA that RSAs
should be required. Mr. Hall concluded: “In my opinion, in the
absence of meeting the federal standards for RSAs
at Santa Monica Airport, Category C and D aircraft should not be
permitted to operate due to the serious risk of injuries and to
occupants of the aircraft and members of the community resulting from
aircraft operating on the margins of safety with no provision for the
possibility of mechanical failure or pilot error.”
The City Council
adopted the ordinance on March 25, 2008, following a presentation by
FAA officials on their safety proposal and a lengthy public hearing
at which Airport neighbors expressed their fears of a catastrophic
overrun. The City has been negotiating with the FAA since 2002
to find a safety solution. During that time, the number of
Category C and D aircraft using the airport has increased by about
30%. After five years of negotiations, the FAA finally
acknowledged the safety concerns of the city and airport
neighbors. However, it responded with a “non-standard” safety
proposal, which would move the runway platform even closer to the
neighborhoods and create even steeper drop-offs at both runway ends,
further exacerbating the risk. Council rejected the FAA
proposal as insufficient to ensure safety according to the federal
government’s own standards.

On Saturday, March
29 more than two thousand visitors enjoyed a sunny afternoon on Airport

“Arts District” of the Airport. Over 50 artists, including those in the
Santa Monica Art
Studios, the Barker Hanger and other Airport buildings had an open
house. Additionally, The Ruskin Theatre Group put on short plays and Santa Monica College’s Art facility
on the Airport had
student ceramic and fine art
work on display – as well as demonstrations
of pottery making. This was the second Art Walk
and the Airport working with the City’s
Community
and Cultural Services and Airport artists plans to make this a permanent March event.

SANTA MONICA AIRPORT TENANTS
|
|
EVAC -
Emergency Volunteer Air Corps
|
|
The EVAC program originated at Santa Monica Airport
in Santa Monica, California, in 1987. These
volunteers plan to help keep the airport open during emergency
situations, assess damage and report findings to local emergency
services officials, and work with other EVAC and public benefit
flying groups to bring in emergency personnel from other airports.
EVAC Volunteers fly to help
others! During emergency situations EVAC pilots and other volunteers
provide the resources of General Aviation to help affected people and
communities. EVAC based at Santa
Monica airport and associated with the Santa
Monica Fire Department is comprised of both pilots and non-pilot
volunteers who work together with the community and city to assist
others in times of need.
|
|
For more
information join us at our monthly meeting, the 1st Thursday of each
month, or visit our web site at http://www.evac.org/smo to learn more.

Drive Around the World
Drive Around The World, a non-profit
organization, has been a tenant on the Airport since April
2006. The group, co-founded by Nick Baggarly,
began its tenure raising funds and awareness for Parkinson’s disease research
and now has a new project, ZERO SOUTH, a science education event that
uses zero and low emission vehicles. This project will take
Nick, and scientists affiliated with Caltech, JPL, the National
Science Foundation and NASA, to the South Pole in four different
types of alternative fuel vehicles. The vehicles are American
production vehicles converted to run on hydrogen, biodiesel,
gas-hybrid and even batteries. Along the way the team will perform
research and following the journey three of the vehicles will tour
the nation for two years giving kids of all ages a chance to sit in
an alternative fuel vehicle that actually did something
extraordinary. “If you want to
|
|
get kids excited
about science and engineering, start with something that gets their
attention then earn their respect by showing them what alternative
fuel can do!” Says Baggarly. Both the
conversions and traverse to Pole will be shot in 3D for a
feature-length documentary. For more information, please check their
website at www.drivearoundtheworld.org.
