Runway Safety Action Team - Annual Meeting June 18, 2019
Runway incursions remain a serious concern nationally and in the Southwest Region. One important component of our ongoing efforts to improve surface safety at R. L. Jones Jr. Airport involves conducting a Runway Safety Action Team (RSAT) meeting at least once each year. In conjunction with Tulsa Airport Authority, we will be conducting a local RSAT meeting on June 18, 2019 in Room F-201 at Tulsa Technology Center Riverside Campus. The meeting will begin at 1:00 PM.
The purpose of this RSAT meeting is to unite those individuals and organizations that are actively involved in airside operations and movement of aircraft, vehicles and equipment on the Airport Operations Area (AOA). We look for participation from all major airport interests (tenants, fixed base operators and airport operations and maintenance personnel). Participants are asked to help develop recommendations and solutions to enhance surface safety. Those recommendations serve as the foundation for a site-specific Runway Safety Action Plan. You are cordially invited and encouraged to attend.
Your participation is vitally important and your input is welcomed. Please RSVP to Tulsa Riverside ATCT, 8801 S. Jack Bates Ave., Tulsa, OK 74132, or by email at shelley.brown@faa.gov. Please include the name, organization, phone number and email address of those who will be attending.
If you have questions or need additional information, please contact Kevin Cuthbertson at (918) 299-6355 or by email at Kevin.Cuthbertson@faa.gov

Upgrades to the Viewing Area (SW corner of airport)
Last week, a rebuild of the Brick-Paver area has been completed at the public viewing area.
The tear out of the existing Brick-Paver area and the excavation of the new area was completed by Steve Mushrush and his airport staff. The airport also provided the extra bricks.
The rebuild was completed by Tulsa Paver Designs (918.406.7473) and funded by a donation from a JRAA member. The pavers are on a 7" bed of crushed stone and a 1" bed of sand, and finished with a special polymeric sand in the joints. The engraved pavers are spread throught the field with room to add more in the future.
