The PAPI consists of four <br />lights adjacent to the runway at the approach end. The system provides the pilot with <br />information about the aircraft position relative to the intended approach path (i.e. aircraft is <br />above or below the approach path). <br />An Instrument Landing System (ILS) is installed on Runway 30R. An ILS provides highly <br />accurate course, distance, and glidepath information. An ILS is especially important during poor <br />weather conditions where visibility is limited. There is also a VOR/DME approach procedure to <br />Runways 30L and 30R and RNAV (GPS) approaches available to Runways 30L, 30R, and 12L. <br />Key Airport Tenants and Businesses <br />Flight Training <br />Airport operations can be classified in a number of ways. Local versus itinerant operations refer <br />to the origin or destination of the flight. Flights that remain in the "local" area, that is, in <br />proximity to the airport are classified as "local" operations. "Itinerant" operations are those that <br />originate from outside the local airport (i.e. at another airport) or departures that leave the local <br />area. <br />Local operations are common with flight training operations. These include touch -and -goes, low <br />approaches, and airport pattern operations. General aviation activity makes up the majority of <br />operations at RMMA and flight training represents the bulk of those operations. For 2018, local <br />operations (i.e. touch -and -goes) made up 56% of total operations. Figure 2 shows that the <br />majority of operations at RMMA in 2018 were "local operations", likely primarily touch -and - <br />goes which is consistent with the concerns and complaints from the community. <br />www.abcx2.com Page 9 info@abcx2.com <br />WO <br />
