Item 32 

The following steps, gnidance, and mitigating strategies may be useful in addressing the situation at CRE. 

1. Coordinate further actions with FAA (Southern Region Airports Division, West Columbia FSDO, and CRE 

ATCT and ATO Eastern Service Area)assistance of ATO Quality Assurance (FAA JO 7210.634Air Traffic 

Organization Quality Control); 

2. Revise the LOAs as necessary with the appropriate mitigating strategies, e.g., wind limitations, markings, type of 

canopy/parachute, wing loading, type of operation, separating high performance/high-speed landings from 

normal landings, emergency procedures and support, specific landing patterns, USP A license or rating (or 

equivalent), hours of operation, and use related guidance: 

a. AC No. 90-66 Recommended Standard Traffic Patterns and Practices; 

b. AC No. 105-2 Sport Parachuting; 

c. Development of Criteria for Parachute Landing Areas on Airports (DOT IF AA/AR-11/30); 

d. Draft Risk Assessment for Parachute Operations guidance in FAA Order 8900.1; 1 

e. FAA Order 5200.11 FAA Airports (ARP) Safety Management System; 

f. FAA Systems Safety Handbook (SSH), Chapter 15 of the SSH Operational Risk Management (ORM); 

g. USP A's Skydiver's Information Manual (SIM); and 

h. Other USP A guidance such as USP A Canopy Risk Quotient Risk Assessment; 

3. Develop and use a Risk Mitigation Plan (RMP) for skydiving operations to include risk criteria covering air 

operations, ground operations, movement areas (in general), and others (e.g., ramp, access); 

4. Update County's gnidance and requirements as needed, e.g., minimum standards, leases, permits, periodic 

training, record keeping (e.g., incident and accident data), qualifications, and enforcement; 

5. Seek the support of the FAA's Runway Safety Action Team (RSAT) to discuss surface movement issues and 

concerns at CRE and possibly formulate a Runway Safety Action Plan (RSAP); 

6. Seek the support of the FAA Safety Team (F AASTeam) at the FSDO. For example, consider making 

FAASTeam'sAircraft Operations Near Parachute Drop Zones course available to users regularly; 

7. Consider taking steps to have an USP A Safety & Training Advisor assist with changes to the existing procedures, 

designate a Sanctioned Drop Zone, which has been verified by USPA as complying with the minimum drop zone 

requirements as stated in the USP A BSRs section of the USP A SIM. 

8. Consider aDZ controller or DZ Operator/Manager to oversee and coordinate skydiving; 

9. Consider implementing adequate signage, warnings, and markings, as necessary; 

10. Update the Airport Facility Director (AIFD) data (and FAA Form 50 10) to reflect skydiving operations; 

11. Review applicable NOT AM procedures in accordance with AC No. 1 50/5200-28D; 

12. Consider requiring coordination for an emergency response plan (DZ Accident Preparedness) to address postincident procedures with airport management, operator, ATCT, and local emergency services; 

13. Consider enhancing automated weather broadcasts, e.g., Surface Weather Observation Station (ASOS), 

Automatic Terminal !'!formation Service (ATIS), to better assist and reflect skydiving operations; and 

14. Promote and support the annual USPA Safety Day concept; and 

15. Consider incorporating USPA's Canopy Sqfety Discussion guidelines into related processes and requirements.
