Instrument Procedures Feasibility Study

The Friedman Memorial Airport Authority (FMAA) remains committed to providing reliable service for both commercial airlines and general aviation users of the Friedman Memorial Airport (SUN). A primary factor impacting reliability of the airport is the ability of aircraft operators to access the airport during times of Instrument Metrological Conditions (IMC). With the help of airport engineers and consultants, the FMAA will develop a study that will identify the instrument procedures improvements that may be feasible for FMA.

RSA Improvements - Project Formulation

The Friedman Memorial Airport Authority (FMAA) recently completed a Technical Analysis and upon review of the Analysis, the conclusion of the community and the FAA was that Alternative 6 would be pursued, with additional  future planning to consider elements of Alternative 7 that are necessary to accommodate airport uses displaced by construction of Alternative 6. The purpose of this formulation is to develop a phasing and funding plan to implement the projects identified in Alternative 6 that are necessary to achieve Runway Safety Area (RSA) compliance.

The Project Identified in Alternative 6 will accomplish the following:

1. Full Compliance with C-III RSA dimensions
2. Minimum runway to parallel taxiway separation of 320 ft
3. All aircraft parking outside of the Runway OFA
