We recommend that you identify the individual Runway 14 and 32 data
where applicable eg. R/W 32 instrument departures N/A. Also suggest
adding a Note indicating that Runway 14 is designated as primary runway
for departures (see AC 150/5300-13, appendix 2 - section 4 a(2) .
You may also want to consider lower instrument approach minimums for R/W
32 eg, Current technology of LPV procedure (similar to ILS minimums), X
mile vis. would require larger RPZ.
On the Airport data table, the combined wind coverage should be
consistent with the wind rose data (eg' knots vs. mph). Does the
revised 14-32 alignment improve the wind coverage eg' currently less

The Non -Standard conditions dispositions box, has many obstructions
listed, please indicate the disposition for these obstructions eg'

Exhibit ^A^ should be revised to reflect the date of acquisition as well

Nice work on the ALP set' Please provide 6 full size draft sets of the ALP
for FAA airspace coordination and review' Z will be out of the office
until 8/10/08.
