A. “Aircraft Guidance:” The apron area in front of Red Eagle
Aviation is the area described as “adjacent to the Premises”. This is a
paved area in front of the maintenance hangar and the approximately
300’ x 75’ grass tiedown area. Red Eagle Aviation personnel will give
verbal guidance by radio communication or physical guidance by hand
signals to aircraft as they come to either of these areas and are
unfamiliar with the area. This includes navigating to and from the Fuel
pump island, maintenance hangar and overnight parking.
B. “Apron Servicing of, assistance to, aircraft,……”: Sometimes
aircraft will need services on the ramp such as help pushing back into a
parking spot etc. and Red Eagle personnel will give them this
assistance.
C. “Repair and Maintenance of based and transient aircraft:” Red
Eagle Aviation has an aircraft maintenance facility with 3 FAA
authorized aircraft mechanics. Red Eagle performs maintenance on most
types of aircraft to include fixed-wing and helicopters. “ Transient”
aircraft are the planes that are not based here but come here for
service.
D. “Customary accommodations:” Red Eagle Aviation provides a
pilots lounge area that the pilots and passengers can relax in, use the
restroom, have coffee and snacks and watch Television. We also provide
internet and phone for pilot weather briefings. Ground transportation
is provided from the ramp via golf cart or we also have a Dodge Caravan.
E. “Sales”: Red Eagle Aviation sells all avionics, engine parts,
instruments and accessories that are available. Anything a customer
wants we have in stock or will get for them related to aircraft.

Jim,
Thanks again for meeting with Fred and I this morning. The explanations

1. The FBO lease agreement specifies the FBO is to provide
services in the following areas. Could you please provide a summary of
what Red Eagle does within each ?
a. Aircraft ground guidance
b. Assistance to aircraft
c. Repair and maintenance
d. Customary accommodations to airport users
e. Sales
These areas are delineated in Article 111 (A) if you would like to see

I’m sure I will have follow-up or additional questions and I appreciate
your willingness to guide me through how airport operational
responsibilities are carried out.
