Transcript of Senior Project Asheville Regional Airport
Picture that I took of myself working
the Wings for Autism program at the
Asheville Regional Airport (Above)
In this photo people are boarding the
plane, a MD-80, during the Wings for
Autism Program. (Left)
This is a picture of me boarding the
aircraft during the Wings for Autism
program, with the flight attendant
behind me. (Right)
This is a picture of the inside of the
aircraft during the Wings for Autism
program. WLOS news is shooting a
segment in this picture as well. (Left)
In the picture to the right, I am
looking over the property lease
agreement between the airport and
signature aviation, the fixed base
operator. I am gathering statistics for
Fayetteville Regional Airport so they
can compare property lease rates.
Above is a picture of the email that
Fayetteville Regional Airport sent the airport
asking for the statistics in the lease for
Asheville’s fixed base operator. Behind the
email is my scratch pad for gathering the
information.
In the picture above I am in the conference
room with an Allegiant MD-88 behind me.
To the right is a picture of the interior
of the operation trucks that they
drive around the airport. There are
multiple sets of radios so the driver in
constant communication with the
control tower. Certain clearances
must be obtained before driving on
certain places in the airport.
To the right is a picture of the inside
of an operations truck. Sherman,
Airport Operations Supervisor, is in
the left of the photo. This picture was
taken during a tour of the entire
property of the Asheville Regional
Airport.
The airport stores the de-icing fluid in
containers. A photo of these de-icing fluids
is to the left. The fluid is spayed on the
entire aircraft before a flight. They only do
this procedure when icing conditions are
known or are likely.
It requires a lot of energy to run
an airport. In the photo to the
right, there are multiple power
units that power all of the
airport runway lighting. This
includes the taxi way edge lights
to the runway threshold lights.
An airport is a small city, and like any
city, there has to be a fire
department. To the left is a picture of
one of the few vehicles that the
airport uses to fight fires. The airport
acquired this Oshkosh fire truck a
couple years ago.
The airport has multiple vehicles to
fight fires. To the left is a photo of
one of the older fire trucks that the
airport has. This vehicle is going to be
replaced within the next couple years
since it is so old.
To the right is a picture of the inside
of the Oshkosh fire truck. It is a very
sophisticated tool that the airport
uses. I was able to take a ride in this
vehicle and help inspect the runway
for any foreign object debris.
To the right is a picture of the view
from the front right seat in the
Oshkosh fire truck. This picture was
right before we went out and checked
the runway for foreign object debris.
Below is a picture of the agenda for the board
meeting I attended. This photo was taken a week
before the board meeting, but I was looking over
what was going to be covered. This included
things such as the budget and new fire truck bid.
Above is a picture that I took while I was working with
Michael Reisman, the Deputy Executive Director. We
were looking at the bids for a new fire truck since the
airport is retiring their old truck.
Shown above is a photo of Lew and
myself making a phone call to Duke
Energy to discuss plans for the
NAVAIDs on the airport.
Above is a photo of the server room located at the
Asheville Regional Airport. All systems, whether it is
the computers at the gate or the computers in the
offices, it all comes to this point.
Above, is a photo of myself and my mentor, Lew S.
Bleiweis, the Executive Director of the Asheville Regional
Airport.
