### Norwood Airport Helicopter Parking, Update To: 

### barry <barry.hammer@faa.gov> Hi Barry,

As noted in our phone conversation earlier today, following the January 6th helicopter procedures meeting with some of our users, we asked our engineer, DuBois & King , to amend our engineering bid documents/plan for this summer ' s AIP project , which will address the re- construction of our north/south taxilane . Several weeks ago, along these lines, we also approached the Norwood Conservation Commission during our notice

- of-intent filing , to brief the board on our intent to construct--finances notwithstanding--some helicopter parking pads adjacent to the north/south taxi

- lane, as part of the project . The local ConCom has in turn supported this amendment. So we're definitely pursuing this tack; and, at this construction season ' s end, we hope to have helicopter parking/operating pads on the north quadrant of the airport, in addition to those already in service on the south quadrant. Please advise if you need any additional information . Cell phone : 781-603-5373. Russ

### Zimbra Page 2 of2 the helicopter procedures meeting that took place yesterday afternoon at Norwood Airport . Along with this e-mail , I ' ll fax to your office a copy of the sign-in sheet showing that meeting ' s attendance , which included two Norwood Airport Commissioners (Tom Wynne , Vice Chair ; and Les LeBlanc) , the Norwood Air Traffic Control Tower Manager, Al Burri ; the FlightLevel FBO (Peter Eichleay and Robert Powers) , my assistant , Mark Raymond and myself-- five helicopter pilots representing five OWD- based helo businesses (Chris Donovan from Boston Executive Helicopters ; Al Morrison from the New England Helicopter Academy ; Steve Boatwright from Blue Hill Helicopters ; Tom O' Connell from Seaport Aviation; and Michael Young from Heli

- Inc . ) , plus helicopter pilot , William Haney, representing himself . Generally speaking , I felt that the meeting was a very productive exchange of ideas , concerns , intentions , etc . On behalf of the Norwood Airport Commission, I reiterated the one and only intent of our proposed procedures , which is to incorporate into our regulations a helicopter operating area that--as of right now-- is only provisionally ok ' d for helo operations . I believe that one of the benefits of this meeting was to expose the underlying , high anxiety that at least some of the operators have , which is a concern that the draft procedures

--while written with the best of intentions

--might perhaps be misused by future airport administrations here , or, by an FBO other than FlightLevel , should FlightLevel be bought out. Boston Executive Helicopters ' President , Chris Donovan, presented some proposed edits to our draft , which we ' ve promised that we ' d give serious consideration to . Otherwise , again, it was a lively , candid, and at times , blunt discussion . With the meeting ' s feedback, the Commi ssion will look to "wordsmith ", if needed, an improved draft , which, with the blessings of all , can then be sent to Town Counsel and MassDOT for final consideration .
