Vision Statement Draft:
The following DRAFT Sierra Vista Municipal Airport (SVMA) Vision Statement is now available for public review.
“The VISION for the Sierra Vista Municipal Airport (SVMA) is to be a model for joint-use military, commercial and general aviation. Business entrepreneurs will experience a proactive and flexible management atmosphere with a demonstrated willingness to attract new ventures. Visitors will want to return because of the airport’s friendly, service-oriented atmosphere, attractive and accessible facilities, variety of on-site services, and convenient access to nearby attractions. Local citizens will look upon SVMA with community pride as the “Crown Jewel” of aviation facilities in southeast Arizona.”
Interested individuals are encouraged to send their comments by June 1, 2010, to: Jon Nelson at jvnalaska@aol.com.
Airfield Closed Areas: There seems to be some confusion about the closed areas around the airfield. Here is a partial list of closed areas: 1. East Juliet Taxiway is closed. 2. The Large Aircraft Ramp west of the access road is closed. 3. Runway 12/30 is closed. 4. Taxiway Golf is closed.
There will be a map of the airfield and all closed areas posted in the Pilot Lounge. It is your responsibility to check NOTAM’s before your flight.
These areas are closed because of construction equipment and FOD on the taxiways and ramp area. Please don’t taxi around the construction barricades; you could cause damage to your aircraft or others.
Fire Season It’s that time of year again! Please be aware there could be delays getting fuel to you. I have hired two people for the season. Mike Geesling is going to Cochise College to be a pilot and will be working weekends. Eldon Cook is back to help us! Stop by and say hi to the new folks!
