  1. Managing The Gauntlet aka Lexington’s Taxiway Safety Enhancement Program

  2. BLUE GRASS AIRPORT (LEX) RW 4-22 7002’x150’ RW 9-27 4000’x75’ Delta, American/USAir, United and Allegiant Airlines 600,000 Enplanements 1076 Acres Surrounded by historic Thoroughbred horse farms and Keeneland Race Track

  3. EXISTING CONDITIONS Single commercial parallel Taxiway A

  4. EXISTING CONDITIONS Single commercial parallel Taxiway A Single connector taxiway to commercial and general aviation ramp

  5. EXISTING CONDITIONS Single commercial parallel Taxiway A Single connector taxiway to commercial and general aviation ramp Blind area to Air Traffic Control

  6. RESULTS IN… Blind pushbacks into movement area EXISTING CONDITIONS Single commercial parallel Taxiway A Single connector taxiway to commercial and general aviation ramp Blind area to Air Traffic Control

  7. RESULTS IN… Blind pushbacks into movement area Single intersection congestion during peak traffic EXISTING CONDITIONS Single commercial parallel Taxiway A Single connector taxiway to commercial and general aviation ramp Blind area to Air Traffic Control

  8. RESULTS IN… Blind pushbacks into movement area Single intersection congestion during peak traffic Direct Path from the ramp to the runway EXISTING CONDITIONS Single commercial parallel Taxiway A Single connector taxiway to commercial and general aviation ramp Blind area to Air Traffic Control

  9. SOLUTION Eliminate Connectors

  10. SOLUTION Eliminate Connectors Realign portion of taxiway at 400’ separation

  11. SOLUTION Eliminate Connectors Realign portion of taxiway at 400’ separation Add connector taxiway from Taxiway A to ramp outside of blind area

  12. SOLUTION Eliminate Connectors Realign portion of taxiway at 400’ separation Add connector taxiway from Taxiway A to ramp outside of blind area Design new taxiways to current TDG standards

  13. UNINTENDED IMPACTS ARFF inside Taxiway OFA

  14. RESULTS IN… Relocate ARFF UNINTENDED IMPACTS ARFF inside Taxiway OFA

  15. RESULTS IN… Relocate ARFF UNINTENDED IMPACTS ARFF inside Taxiway OFA ARFF siting criteria at existing SRE and maintenancefacilities

  16. RESULTS IN… Relocate ARFF Relocate SRE and maintenance facilities UNINTENDED IMPACTS ARFF inside Taxiway OFA ARFF siting criteria at existing SRE and maintenancefacilities

  17. Thank you PROJECT BENEFITS SAFETY Reduce runway incursion potentialby removing direct ramp-to-runway access. Eliminate head-to-head traffic. Changes to the movement area. Eliminates the ATC blind spot at Concourse B. Fewerand simpler SOPs for ATC. Eliminates LOA for pushback from gates B7 and B8. Reduces ARFF response time to the midfield of Runway 4-22. STANDARDS Taxiway conformance with current FAA design standards. Non-standard intersections of existing Taxiways A, C and A6 will be eliminated.
