They operate independently from our airport engineers and plan projects that are necessary for the future viability and sustainability of an airport. We do not plan to engineer, we plan for the future of an airport, a community, and an industry. Our planning staff is passionate about airport planning and we have dedicated our careers to helping airports visualize their future needs. Airport Planning in Action. Michael Mallonee, Michael Mitchell and Dallas Wendling in McKinney, Texas What makes our planning process different than others? We place a strong focus on revenue generation opportunities and project constructability. This is what sets us apart. As grant funds for airport development projects continue to decline, it is important the planning process include an evaluation of the economic climate of the region. This allows for the identification of opportunities for revenue generation or rate structure changes. Constructability goes beyond whether or not something can just be built. Our planning team uses their experience in obtaining project support from funding agencies to develop a solid and realistic capital improvement program. We also consult with our project engineers to identify design or layout changes that will reduce costs by considering factors like drainage, utility availability, and terrain. We have a vested interest in the success of the airports we serve and the communities in which they are located. KSA Webinar "What's Next Orville" A video presentation about the future of Aviation from a planning perspective. Remote video URL Featuring: Peter Van Pelt, National Aviation Director and Michael Mallonee, Regional Manager of Aviation Planning Master Planning We are experts at helping airports devise a realistic and relevant plan. Airport master plans provide a 20-year vision for an airport. When used correctly, a master plan is a powerful tool that can simplify the implementation of essential airport improvements and become a catalyst for the success of the airport system as a whole. Undertaking a master planning process will ensure that development at your airport progresses in a logical and feasible manner. Proper planning is often the first step in obtaining funding support for airport improvements. Airport Layout Plans (ALP) Terminal Area Plans, Business Plans, and Economic Development Plans Environment Planning Aviation Action Plans Often action plans are necessitated by economic changes and the need to develop a short term capital improvement program. Airport Planning Map KSA's Planning Experience Experience We take great pride in our airport master plan projects and feel each is a unique opportunity to provide a solid foundation for the future. KSA realizes that each airport is different and that every airport master plan requires a different set of parameters while still being prepared in accordance with Federal Aviation Administration Advisory Circular 150/5070-6B, Airport Master Plans.
