City calling area aviators

(LAWRENCE, KS) - The Aviation Advisory Board is seeking public comment on
proposed Minimum Standards and Requirements for Airport Aeronautical

Among the eighteen minimums set with the standards are approved activities,
property leasing, facility construction and maintenance, insurance and
environmental compliance.  Aviation activities such as the fixed based
operator, aircraft repair, flying clubs, charter services and pilot training
businesses are all addressed in the standards.

Public comment will be accepted at the board's Wednesday, Sept. 29 meeting
at 6:30 p.m. in the airport terminal, 1930 Airport Rd.  The minimum
standards document can be found on line at www.lawrenceks.org.
