FAA Western - Pacific Region 

Volume V Issue 2 February 2017

We want to thank everyone who sent feedback on our November 

newsletter. After reading your comments we think we are on the 

right track in terms of providing timely and relevant information.

We are happy to inform you that we have received the necessary 

approvals for our Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) 

Airports Conference and we will once again host this event this 

year. Our conference will be held at the Anaheim Convention 

Center from June 13-15, 2017! To celebrate our return, this 

year’s conference will not have a conference fee for 

attendees. You simply will be asked to RSVP in advance so we 

can ensure space for you and your group. We will also not have 

an exhibitor room nor will we offer any snacks or lunches. We 

are finalizing our agenda and expect to send out the conference 

information within the next 2 weeks. Once you receive it, simply 

follow the instructions and send us an RSVP for all intended 

attendees. Unlike prior conferences we offered, this year’s conference will not be associated with a hotel 

so you are free to lodge at any hotel to your liking. The only expectation we have is that stakeholders will 

participate enthusiastically in the sessions that we will offer. Please stay tuned.....more to come!

In our November newsletter I committed to updating our stakeholders on our FY 2017 focus areas here in 

the Western Pacific Region (AWP). Here is a summary of some of our goals and objectives that may 

affect your airport:

Airport Safety

 A Regional Manager will conduct Special Emphasis Meetings with airports identified as having 

repeated V/PD Runway Incursions and/or Surface Incidents. “Repeated” is generally defined as 3 or 

more runway VPDs in the previous 12 month period.

 A Regional Manager will participate in person in the Runway safety Action Plan (RSAT) meetings at 

AWP’s “high emphasis” airports identified in the Regional Runway Safety Plan.

 Begin planning for Runway Incursion Mitigation (RIM), or implement construction projects, at

AWP SPOTLIGHT

Thella F. Bowens

This quarter I want to Spotlight an individual that we 

have known and admired for many years, Thella F. 

Bowens. Ms. Bowens started her aviation career at 

Dallas/Ft. Worth International Airport. A previous 

supervisor told her work at the airport was interesting 

with a unique complexity. Once she started working at 

the airport she got the aviation bug. Ms. Bowens 

continues to find the aviation industry challenging and 

exciting. It is the intersection of running a business and 

public service.

Ms. Bowens served as the Deputy Executive Director 

of Kansas City’s Aviation Department, before joining 

the San Diego Unified Port District as the Port’s Senior 

Director of Aviation in 1996. In March 2003, Thella F. 

Bowens was appointed President/CEO of the San Diego 

County Regional Airport Authority, the owner and 

operator of San Diego International Airport as of 

January 1, 2003. As President/CEO, Ms. Bowens is 

responsible for management oversight of the Airport 

Authority and the Airport Authority’s annual operating 

budget and five-year capital budget. According to the 

most recent economic impact study, San Diego 

International Airport generates more than $9 billion 

annually in economic impact for the region. 

Ms. Bowens has served on numerous aviation boards and committees. She is a member of the California 

Airports Council Board of Directors and a board member of the American Association of Airport 

Executives Policy Review Committee. In 2010 she served as a member of the Department of 

Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood’s Future of Aviation Advisory Committee, and in 2012 she was 

the Chair of Airports Council International – North America (ACI-NA). 

Ms. Bowens’ commitments don’t end with aviation. Locally, she is a member of boards of the World 

Trade Center San Diego, San Diego Regional Economic Development Corporation, San Diego Tourism 

Authority, San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce and Kyoto Symposium Organization. So, as you 

can see, Ms. Bowens freely shares her knowledge and experience. 

After an extremely successful aviation career, Ms. Bowens has announced her retirement effective March 

31, 2017. We will all miss her.

On January 10-12, the Airports Division Western-Pacific Region hosted a meeting for Airport/Community 

Planners and Environmental Protection Specialists from across the Region. The purpose of the meeting 

was to: 

 Expand thinking about airport planning; 

 Better understand that the airport is part of a community; 

 Understand that airport planning doesn’t stop at the property line; 

 Better understand the touch points with other federal, state and local planning agencies; 

 Equip staff with knowledge to prevent repeating the mistakes of the past; and 

 Lay the foundation for enhanced working relationships internally, across ADOs; and externally, 

with planning organizations. 

Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) participated in the 

meeting to discuss ways to improve coordination as “OneDOT.” In addition, the following nonfederal 

organizations participated:

 City of Phoenix Aviation to discuss Land Use Planning from a local perspective 

 CALTRANS to discuss its California Land Use Planning Handbook

 Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) to discuss regional transportation planning 

FAA participants evaluated case studies that provided compelling reasons for early and frequent 

collaboration amongst planning organizations. FAA participants discussed on-going projects and process 

improvements to ensure that we follow a streamlined process while complying with applicable laws and 

regulations. The meeting concluded with the group conducting a experience/expertise inventory to better 

leverages strengths of our internal resources. Feedback from all participants was positive. We look 

forward to realizing greater efficiency and effectiveness that will result from increased awareness and 

improved working relationships.

SAFETY AND STANDARDS

Vanquishing the VPD

Vanquishing the V/PD can be accomplished through a solid partnership between the FAA and airport 

management. The responsibility of making sure that the proper safeguards are in place, however, lies 

squarely on the shoulders of airport management. Please use this information and all that follows as a 

guide by which to provide a safer environment at your airfield.

FAA Airports Division wishes all of the airports in the Western-Pacific Region a Happy and safe New 

Year. 

As of December 31, 2016, AWP Calendar Year (CY) 2016 V/PD statistics were as follows:

Runway Incursions Surface Incidents VPD Totals

139 Airports 17 12 29

GA Airports 24 16 40

Totals 41 28 69

 In CY 2016 the Western Pacific Region experienced a total of 69 V/PDs (23% fewer than CY 

2015). 

 In CY 2016 V/PDs were 27% lower at Part 139 airports as compared to General Aviation (GA)

airports. In CY 2015 V/PDs were 31% lower at Part 139 airports as compared to GA airports. 

 In CY 2016 there was a 24% decrease in V/PD runway incursions (RIs) as compared to CY 2015 

(54 vs. 41). 

 In CY 2016 total runway incursions (RIs) were 32% higher than surface incidents (SIs). In CY 

2015 the RIs were 37% higher than SIs. 

Yearly total V/PD Chart (Excluding reclassified incidents but including aircraft taxied by nonlicensed individuals):

LOS ANGELES ADO NEWS

Let’s Be Bid-Ready

This January feels like spring to me, because it’s cold and rainy; just like 

home. My 5-year tenure in Southern California had taught me that it doesn’t 

rain here, ever. OOPS..... Apparently it does. Yes, weather.... I remember you. But here, watching the rain, I’m reminded of AIP grant performance, not the leak in my skylight. 

AIP grant performance is an important metric, including AIP grant drawdown rates and project closeout. AIP taxpayers and Congress expect grants 

to create real aeronautical benefit in a timely manner. Rain-delayed projects 

should remind us to take every opportunity to get ahead of the curve in the grant cycle. 

Periodically, in Airport Topics, I will be discussing specific ways to improve this performance and maximize the value of scarce resources. In this issue, let’s talk AIP grant bid-readiness. 

This topic is both timely and ripe for improvement at the Los Angeles ADO. Bid-readiness refers to an 

AIP grantee’s readiness to open bids for a construction project on May 1 of each grant year. Yes, May 1. 

That’s a good indicator that a sponsor is ready to build a project. In the table below, notice how the ADOs 

drawdown rate is so low in the early years. That’s an opportunity to improve our readiness to build, starting with bid-readiness. I ask that sponsors join us in a May Bid Opening target and plan accordingly. 

This means having designs complete and political calendars aligned at ‘city hall.’ Are you and your consultant planning on designs being ready for a spring bid opening? If not, why not? Is your State of California matching grant timing causing delays? Let me know. The California ADOs continue to explore 

ways to resolve this reported challenge, by working with CalTrans. 

For our part, the Los Angeles ADO is having planners stay involved with sponsors until bid-open dates are 

certain. For planning, this means crafting ACIPs that reflect the ability to complete designs by early spring 

of a grant year. Program managers will also be transitioning-in during this period to take over the project 

management once this date is certain. By this time, if an Los Angeles ADO Environmental Protection 

Specialist is still involved, then you’re behind the curve. 

You may have heard my San Francisco ADO colleague, Jim Lomen, and me speaking about grant readiness at the Monterey SWAAAE conference this year. I refer you to the San Francisco ADO’s discussion 

on grant performance metrics, in this newsletter. 

So, remember, being bid-ready in May and starting construction in summer/fall, means that you don’t have 

to worry so much about January (and now February) rain.

A person who has an unmanned aircraft system 

(UAS), commonly known as a ‘Drone’, that 

weighs between 0.55 and 55 pounds and wants to 

fly it outdoors must register it on the Federal 

Aviation Administration’s (FAA’s) registration 

website. A registrant must be at least 13 years of 

age. Registration costs $5.00 and is valid for 3 

years. The registration number assigned at the 

conclusion of the registration must be placed 

somewhere on the UAS vehicle. 

How to Register an Unmanned Aircraft System 

PHOENIX ADO NEWS

Registration is important because failure to register before launching a UAS outdoors can result in civil 

and criminal penalties. At the start of the registration, the prospective operator is asked if the flights will 

be recreational or commercial. The answer to those questions opens the appropriate online registration 

portal (https://registermyuas.faa.gov).

The registration number for a hobbyist applies to the UAS owner, and may be used for every UAS the 

registrant owns. The registration number must be placed somewhere on each UAS vehicle. After reading 

and understanding all safety guidelines, the registered hobbyist is ready to start. Never the less, a 

hobbyist registration applies only to UAS flights for hobby purposes; flights for non-hobby purposes 

require registration of the UAS. 

See Sample Registration Below:

PHOENIX ADO NEWS

How to Register an Unmanned Aircraft System (continued)

For more details: www.faa.gov/uas/getting_started/fly_for_fun/

An applicant registering as a commercial UAS operator receives a registration number that applies 

only to the individual aircraft, not to the registrant personally, therefore, the owner must register each 

UAS separately. A UAS registered for commercial purposes can be flown as a hobby. Commercial 

UAS flights must comply with FAA’s new rule on small UAS, also known as Part 107, which covers a 

range of commercial operations. This rule took effect on August 29, 2016. Exceptions are as follows:

 If the aircraft weighs more than 55 pounds, FAA’s paper registration process is required.

 If the aircraft weighs less than 0.55 pounds, no registration is needed.

SAN FRANCISCO ADO NEWS

In FY 2016, we in Northern California made great strides in getting grants out timely so that needed 

aviation development could get underway. In a couple of cases our sponsors were so successful that 

our office has already processed the closeout of their 2016 grants. 

To help us all better understand where we are with the open grants in the San Francisco Airports 

District Office (ADO), here are some stats:

 Grants Open at the beginning of FY2017: 290 

(3-2010’s, 4-2011’s, 10-2012’s, 39-2013’s, 62-2014’s, 68-2015’s, and 104-2016’s)

 Of the 290 we have closed 24 

(0-2010’s, 1-2011’s, 4-2012’s, 9-2013’s, 4-2014’s, 4-2015’s, and 2-2016’s)

 Of the remaining 266 grants open:

 113 are lacking reimbursement activity

 62 have no payment activity since grant execution (2-2015’s, 60-2016’s)

 51 have shown no activity in the past six (6) months (as measured by no reimbursement 

requests since the last request) 

(3-2010’s, 2-2011’s, 3-2012’s, 19-2013’s, 19-2014’s, 4-2015’s, and 1-2016’s)

 42 are four (4) years old, or older

 27 grants are included in both the four year and older and inactive grant lists 

 168 are behind the Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) grant drawdown targets. 

(3-2010’s, 3-2011’s, 1-2012’s, 21-2013’s, 25-2014’s, 29-2015’s, and 86-2016’s)

 About 100 new grants are planned for 2017

In our last newsletter I touted about how well we did executing grants in FY 2016. But, when you 

consider that over 50% of the grants offered last year (60) have still not requested a reimbursement, our 

success is questionable. What that means is that out of the $133 million granted by our office last year, 

over $57 million is still sitting idle. If one of the grants you are involved with is included on one of our 

poor performing grant lists, what are you doing to get your grant off the list?

To help our airport sponsors to better understand how they are performing in the management of their 

AIP grants we sent out individual Sponsor Report Cards in December; if you did not receive yours, 

please reach out to your Airport Planner or Engineer in our office to request a copy. The report card 

looks at:

 Timeliness of grant closeouts – earlier the closeout the better the grade

 Current drawdown activity – how often is a reimbursement request submitted for each grant; more 

often the better the grade

 Historical drawdown activity – looks at the sponsor’s historical payment activity on open grants; 

again more timely drawdowns will lead to a better grade

How is Your Performance in the Management of Grants? 
16

SAN FRANCISCO ADO NEWS

How is Your Performance in the Management of Grants? 

(continued)

 OMB drawdown percentage comparison – the further ahead of the OMB targets the higher the 

grade

 Reimbursement requests having documentation attached – pass / fail grade, no documentation zero 

for the “subject”

 The sponsor’s overall grade is a weighted average of the five categories above.

As we head into FY 2017 all of our success will not be measured by how fast we are able to get 

projects under grant, but how timely actual work gets underway and how well grants are managed once 

they have been executed. 

Are you striving for an “A” in grant performance from the University of Airports? We in the ADO are 

here to help you improve your performance, please reach out to us so that we can help you move to the 

front of the class.
