Runway Safety Action Team (RSAT) Meeting

Runway incursions remain a serious concern nationally. One important component of our ongoing efforts to improve surface safety at Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport involves conducting a Runway Safety Action Team (RSAT) meeting at least once each year. In conjunction with airport management, we will be conducting a local RSAT meeting on Wednesday, August 7, 2024. The meeting is scheduled from 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. and will be held virtually via Microsoft Teams. The public is also welcome to attend the virtual meeting locally at the Airport Operations/Customs Building (old terminal building just north of the tower). 

The purpose of this RSAT meeting is to unite those individuals and organizations that are actively involved in air traffic operations and movement of aircraft, vehicles and equipment on the Airport Operations Area (AOA). We look for participation from all major airport interests including tenants, fixed base operators, 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 to join us.

Your participation is important and your input is welcomed. Please RSVP to Gail Wattum at gail.wattum@serco-na.com or Heith Felps at heith.ctr.felps@faa.gov. Include the name, organization, phone number and email address of those who will be attending.

If you have questions or need more information, please let me know. Gail can be reached at 406-388-9082, gail.wattum@serco-na.com or Heith at 208-788-4087, heith.ctr.felps@faa.gov.
