2007/08/15 Ordinance 1622 - Civil Penalties - Kalispell City Airport - 1st ReadingKalispell City Airport -- S27 Post Office Box 1997 - Kalispell, Montana 59903-1997 -Telephone (406) 75$-7756 Fax - (406) 758-7754 To: Mayor and Kalispell City Council From: City Manager Kalispell City Airport Manager Re: Ordinance to impose fines and penalties for violation of Rules and Regulations established at the Kalispell City Airport. Date: August 15, 2007 In October 2005, a set of Standard Operating Procedures were written for the Kalispell City Airport. These rules and regulations were formed by a combined effort of professionals, users, and the Airport Advisory Council. These rules have withstood a trial period of nearly two years and have resulted in a safer and more professionally operated airport. The Airport Advisory Council has recommended that there be a more stringent application of the rules with penalties for violations by those individuals who would rather take a shortcut than abide by the Standard Operating Procedures. We believe that a stern WARNI6 should precede any civil penalties, but the option should be there to deter violators who could cause accidents or injuries on the airport. We concur with the Advisory Council and recommend adoption of the attached Ordinance prepared by the City Attorney.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) contends that it is the prerogative of the airport owner (sponsor) to impose Standard Operating Procedures for the safe operation and use of its airport. Airport owners in exchange for Federal funding to assist in developing runways, taxiways, etc, should establish Standard Operating Procedures along with Minimum Standards for those wishing to provide aeronautical services on their airport. Both procedures should be fair and equitable for all users of their facilities. These Standard Operating Procedures adopted by the City of Kalispell, as owner of the Kalispell City Airport, are designed to minimize aviation accidents in the air and on the ground. It is the intent of the City of Kalispell to provide the safest possible atmosphere for the conduct of aviation operations for our tenants, guests'. . residents, students and employees. Failure to abide by these Standard Operating Procedures could result in expulsion from the airport property and/or civil penalties. The City of Kalispell shall exercise full authority over the operations of its airport. es Patrick, City Manager .... _ ....

The preferred "No wind" take -off runway is RWY 13. 2. The preferred "No wind" full stop landing runway is RWY 31. 3. When departing RWY 13, and leaving the traffic pattern, aircraft should climb straight outs avoiding the KGEZ radio towers, and proceed enroute. 4. when departing RWY 31, and leaving the traffic pattern, if practicable, aircraft should make a 60 degree turn left or right and climb to cruise altitude. 5. After take -off, reduce power to recommended climb settings as soon as practical. Slight power reductions will significantly reduce noise levels. 6. When practicing touch and go landings at night, pilots are encouraged to use the facilities at FCA where noise levels are not so obtrusive. 7.
