Departure Headings at Nashville International Airport (BNA)
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing to update departure headings at Nashville International Airport (BNA) in Tennessee. Under the proposed changes ( https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/community_engagement/nash_bna ), aircraft would follow similar paths to existing ones. These updates will improve lateral and vertical separation of aircraft within Nashville’s airspace and allow air traffic controllers to get aircraft up, out, and on their way more efficiently. The purpose of this workshop is to share information and answer your questions about the departure headings. The virtual meeting will take place on Thursday, March 6, 2025, from 5 to 7 p.m. Central.

Hawaiian Volcano Observatory welcomes 150 international scientists to the Island of Hawai’i
The AGU Chapman Conference on Caldera-Forming Eruptions at Basaltic Volcanoes will bring together an interdisciplinary group of scientists to contrast observations from historic global caldera-rift eruptions, establish the state-of-the-art in knowledge, identify outstanding questions, and motivate lasting new research efforts. HILO, Hawaii — From February 9-14, 2024, the U.S. Geological Survey’s Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) will host an international gathering of approximately 150 volcanologists in Hilo to explore the impacts and insights of the 2018 Kīlauea eruption. In partnership with the American Geophysical Union, the Caldera Forming Eruptions at Basaltic Volcanoes conference will gather experts to share research on caldera-forming

Potential for Wrong Runway Landings at Tucson International (KTUS)
Numerous wrong-runway landings have occurred at Tucson International Airport (KTUS), especially when runways 29 are in use. Many pilots have mistaken runway 29R for 29L, or Taxiway Alpha for a landing surface. Taxiway Alpha is north and parallel to Runway 11L/29R. Ensure correct runway lineup. Runway 29L is the shorter runway on the south side of the airport. Pilots are urged to thoroughly plan for their arrival at Tucson in advance. Review the current airport diagram, in addition to the attached photos depicting runways 29 at KTUS. https://www.faasafety.gov/files/notices/2018/Mar/KTUS_Runways_29_and_Taxiway_A.pdf For questions, please contact Charlotte York, Tucson ATCT Support Specialist: 520-295-5723; Charlotte.York@faa.gov
New Safety Video for Tucson International Airport
Numerous wrong-runway landings have occurred at Tucson International Airport (KTUS), especially when runways 11/29 are in use. Many pilots have mistaken runway 29R for 29L, 11L for 11R, or Taxiway Alpha for a landing surface. Taxiway Alpha is north and parallel to Runway 11L/29R. Pilots are urged to thoroughly plan for their arrival at Tucson in advance. Review the airport diagram, as the airport geometry is complex. Please view this new Runway Safety video, with a focus on operations at KTUS: http://aftw.org/tus-releases-runway-safety-video/ Please also view this video on Wrong Surface Landings, developed by the FAA Runway Safety Group: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5II-s_j35cI&feature=youtu.be For questions, please contact
Piedmont Triad International Airport (GSO) Hot Spot 1
Pilots operating at GSO, Piedmont Triad International Airport need to be aware of Hotspot 1, the Kilo-Kilo 6 intersection. Missing this Hotspot may result in costly delays and introduce risk into the operation. Taxiway Kilo extends far beyond the threshold of Runway 23L going into the Fed Ex hangar and ramp area. If Hotspot 1 is missed, large aircraft may not be able to turn around under their own power and may require extra services, such as a tug, to get back to runway 23L. Taxiing onto the FedEx ramp can cause Jet Blast issues with people and equipment on
Construction at Daniel K. Inouye (HNL) International Airport
The extended runway-improvement construction at HNL Airport has begun and this work will continue over several years. At the very least during this period we need to: anticipate taxi instructions that may be unfamiliar; have an airport diagram available at all times so as to be certain of our taxi instructions and routings; and be prepared to immediately stop and request clarification or progressive taxi instructions any time a pilot might become uncertain of their position on the airport. Just a quick reminder, our controllers would much prefer to provide progressive taxi instructions than to deal with a Surface Incident or Runway Incursion. The
