DEFINITIONS AND ACRONYMS

DEFINITION/ACRONYM DESCRIPTION

Air Operations (Air Ops) The department responsible for all ground and air traffic on the airfield side of

Naval Air Station.

Air Snow King Person or persons designated by the Government to act as the overall responsible party for all airfield snow and ice operations. The Air Snow King has no authority to change, alter, or modify the contract.

Bare Pavement Free of frozen precipitation down to the surface of the pavement. Bare pavement does not mean completely dry and may still have frozen and/or liquid precipitation in the holes, pores, divots, seams and cracks.

Clear Free of debris, as defined below.

DOT U.S. Department of Transportation Debris Includes, but is not limited to, paper, cans, bottles, limbs and branches, pine straw and pinecones, leaves, sand, soil, aggregates, grass, metals, and other similar items.

End of Cleanup Defined as when the Contractor has met all performance objectives.

End of Precipitation The end of the hour during which the Contractor and the KO or designated representative mutually agree the precipitation has ended EPA Environmental Protection Agency FAA Federal Aviation Administration Finished Street, Road, or Parking Lot

A paved or improved area in which the following conditions are met:

Clear, Dry Area – The entire area of responsibility is as close as possible to clear and dry. Not more than one inch of snow shall remain on the area, including hard packed snow.

Full Width – Snow is from the full width of the paved and improved area of the streets, roads, or parking lots. The snow is removed to at least the outer edge of the entire area of responsibility, so that the outer edge is exposed, unless otherwise specified.

Obstructions – Where obstructions such as utility poles, sign posts, fire hydrants, and trees exist between or in the midst of the streets, roads or parking area: snow shall be cleared around these objects down to the required finished depth (by hand if necessary) so that streets, roads, or parking areas are blocked with snow.

Foreign Object Debris

(FOD)

Any foreign object external to an aircraft that can cause damage. Examples include nuts, bolts, safety wire, baggage tags, misplaced tools, sand, rocks, asphalt chunks, birds, snakes and, rodents. Any item(s) on a runway that may be picked up by any aircraft and potentially cause damage to any part of the aircraft.

Ice (Taken from FAA AC 150/5200-30C)

The solid form of water consisting of a characteristic hexagonal symmetry of water molecules. The density of pure ice is 57 lb/ft3 (913 kg/m3), which is 9 percent less dense than water. Compacted snow becomes ice when the air passages become discontinuous at a density of about 50 lb/ft3 (800 kg/m3).

Initiation of Work The Contractor shall initiate work as required to maintain streets, roads, and parking lots within the performance standard for snow removal and sanding.

NAS Naval Air Station New Storm Any precipitation occurring after the “End of Precipitation” defined above.

Passage The movement of persons or vehicles across paved surfaces.

Primary Runway (Taken from FAA AC 150/5200-30C)

A runway expected to be used under the existing atmospheric and storm event conditions where most of the takeoff and landing operations will take place.

J-1503060-01

DEFINITIONS AND ACRONYMS

Secondary Runway (Taken from FAA AC 150/5200-30C)

A runway that supports a primary runway. Takeoff and landing operations on such a runway are generally less frequent than on a primary runway.

Snow (on the ground).

(Taken from FAA AC 150/5200-30C)

A porous, permeable aggregate of ice grains, which can be predominately single crystals or close groupings of several crystals.

Snow Event Any occurrence of frozen precipitation that results in visible accumulation of snow or ice on paved surfaces.

Snow King Person or persons designated by the Government to act as the overall responsible party for all snow and ice operations. The Snow King has no authority to change, alter, or modify the contract.

Twenty-Four (24) Hour Lot

Parking Lots that have to be cleared during designated shift changes or maintained during the course of an intense storm.

Known 'Best Practices' for AIRFIELD SAFETY - Airport Personnel (Published by FAA)

1. Eliminate distractions in the operational area.

2. Eliminate confusing call signs for vehicles operating in the airport operations area.

3. Use two vehicles for runway inspections to reduce “Time-on-Runway”.

4. Use high visibility vehicles to increase conspicuity for pilots, controllers and other drivers operating on the

AOA (airport operations area).

5. All vehicle lights (high beams, flashers, beacons, and strobes) should be turned on when crossing or operating on runways, taxiways or the AOA.

6. Vehicle flashers and beacons help ATC, aircrews and other vehicle operators see vehicles in the AOA – especially during periods of reduced visibility and at night.

7. Use current diagrams in all AOA access vehicles.

8. Carry a current airport diagram with all AOA personnel badges.

9. Obtain and use airport diagrams. Use the FAA runway safety website to find airport diagrams for all airports.

10. The airport authority is encouraged to share its driver’s training program. (Even FAA employees are required to take training if they are on the airfield.)

11. Utilize CD-based pilot and driver’s education training materials and electronic programs.

12. All AOA access authorized personnel, including taxi-qualified mechanics, should complete a driver’s training program – to include recurrent training.

13. Require and schedule FAA employee driver’s training and recurrent training/testing.

14. Offer training and awareness education to local contractors working on the airport, and monitor them.

15. Ensure drivers know where to look for traffic when a pilot isn’t talking to the tower or broadcasting on

CTAF.

16. AOA access authorized personnel should have an awareness and understanding of the “uniqueness of helicopter operations”.

17. Conduct “Clearing Turns” prior to entering ANY runway.

18. Place signs and marking placards in all AOA access vehicles.

19. Know who has access to the airfield.

20. Enforce a “No Tailgating” policy to ensure vehicles remain within proximity until gate is closed and secure to prevent unauthorized “Tailgating”.

21. Keep the runway a runway, no racing.

22. Enforce maximum use of existing service roads; stay off of the runway as much as possible.

23. Use tunable radios.

24. Enforce a policy of “No Cell Phone” use for personnel while operating on the airfield.

25. Prevent potential obstructions.

26. Issue NOTAMS for snow removal operations and mowing operations.

27. Attend and conduct safety seminars and programs on RUNWAY SAFETY.

28. Improve safety by teaching, advocating, stressing and understanding situational awareness.

29. Cite specific airport RUNWAY SAFETY web pages.

30. Realize that every airport is unique and presents its own set of RUNWAY SAFETY challenges.

31. Stay alert; stay alive.

32. Declare war on errors; make it everyone’s responsibility.

33. Always think SAFETY FIRST.
