SC Aviation Association Update Kevin Howell, C.M, I.A.P., SCAA President

Wow!? I can’t believe 2024 is halfway over. It has been a very busy past few months for SCAA, especially on the legislative front.

Many members got involved earlier this year, calling their legislators, writing letters and collaborating with airport consultants and industry partners in order to stop H.5310, which would have decimated the revenue sources that fund airport investment from SC Aeronautics each year. This bill would have been especially damaging to our general aviation (GA) airports. SCAA represents all airports, and our state needs strong GA and commercial airports in order to maintain a strong statewide airport system. Thank you for everyone’s help on H.5310!

On the budget side, it was another push all the way to the finish, but the Senate and House just approved a budget that provides SC Aeronautics additional funding for FY25 that will allow many SC GA airports to proceed with some much-needed projects. The new budget also provides over $40 million in onetime named funding for many of our commercial service airports through the SC Department of Commerce. There were a lot of phone calls and hard work from the SC aviation community that helped push this across the goal line. Thank you again!

Thank you to my fellow members of the SCAA Board of Directors, who worked hard on the phones, over email and in person. Thank you also to the SC Aeronautics Commissioners for your hard work and continued support. I would like to also publicly thank SCAA Lobbyist Ben Homeyer of 1101 Public Affairs for his help this year. Without Ben’s guidance and hard work on SCAA’s behalf in Columbia, much of this year’s success would have been impossible.

But SCAA’s work is not done. The budget wins this year are all considered “one-time” funding. Very soon, we will be back at it and getting geared up for the next budget cycle. Our goal does not change.

For South Carolina to be competitive with other southeastern states when it comes to aviation and aerospace projects, SCAA is calling for annual recurring funding plan that provides $100 million annually for airports and airport infrastructure investment.

SC airports need a funding program that is secure and can be counted on each and every year to plan and manage their airport capital improvement programs. Meaningful and recurring airport funding is SCAA’s top priority and, just like this year, we will need every SCAA member to step up and spread the word. I hope you will join our legislative efforts. Stay tuned for more information on how you can help make this possible.

CAVU!

South Carolina Aeronautics Commission Update Gary Siegfried, Executive Director

As I write this, the 125th South Carolina General Assembly has adjourned the second regular session and is nearing the completion of the special session to finalize the budget. It has been an eventful and interesting session, and yes, also successful.

As far as the budget goes, South Carolina’s airports should have a good year based on what is in the Aeronautics budget and what is coming through the Commerce budget.

I would like to say that with the budget process complete, I can now breathe a sigh of relief and get a little rest. Unfortunately, it is already time to think about next year’s budget. Over the last two years, the Aeronautics Commission’s strategy has been to request special legislative allocations based on the list of unfunded or underfunded projects at our airports.

I believe the legislators now understand that our airports, especially the primary ones, have more projects than they do money. With that in mind, Aeronautics’ strategy for the upcoming budget cycle is to request $100 million in recurring funding, with $80 million allocated to primary airports and $20 million allocated to general aviation.

This will be a significant ask of our legislators, and Aeronautics will need your help in spreading the word to justify this request. If we are going to accomplish something like this, we need all our airports to come together and collaborate with a unified message. We understand that this collaboration comes with challenges. Differing stakeholder interests, bureaucratic hurdles, communication gaps, and funding limitations are just a few challenges that come to mind.

But these challenges can be overcome with communication and planning to develop a coordinated message and strategy for getting this important message to the right people well in advance of the next budget cycle. The Commission will be asking for the SCAA’s help in the upcoming months to coordinate this effort, so stay tuned for more information.

As far as this upcoming year goes, we look forward to another successful year of helping you fund your projects. The Commission is considering changes to our state participation levels for our funding programs that we think you will like. Hopefully we will have more information on this after the August Commission meeting.

And finally, we have two new Commissioners coming on board, which means all districts are represented again! Please help me in welcoming Denise Bryan, who will represent District 2 and Terry Connorton, who will represent District 4. We know that their airport management experience will bring the Commission valuable knowledge and insight and we look forward to working with them over the next several years.

Thank you again for your support over this last year. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions.

Fair skies,

Gary Siegfried Denise Bryan

Safety Update

Leo Berube, CFI, CFI-I, MEI, FAASTeam Representative

This study was produced by The Australian Civil Aviation Authority (CASA) and The National FAA Safety Team (FAASTeam). The 2024 January / February issue of the FAA Safety Briefing magazine focuses on the FAA’s Compliance Program and how its foundational concepts have helped advance a ‘just culture’ within the general aviation community. We are transitioning from reactive cultures where we wait for something to go wrong and then fix it to proactive just cultures. The term ‘human factors’ refers to the wide range of issues affecting how people perform tasks in their work and leisure environments. The course modules contain Basic, Advanced and Master levels of the WINGS Program.

Completion of any WINGS Phase satisfies the knowledge requirement for a flight review.

Leo Berube

The FAA Safety Team offers a comprehensive Human Factors for Pilots online course catalog hosted on FAASafety.gov. This program includes ten modules spread across nine courses, each designed to enhance pilots’ understanding of critical aspects such as human performance, safety culture, communication, teamwork, situational awareness, decision-making, threat and error management, human information processing, and the impact of design and automation. By exploring these topics, pilots can gain valuable insights into optimizing their performance and ensuring safer flight operations.

Scan me to access the online courses.

Remembering USAir Flight 1016- To read more, visit: https://bit.ly/4cPIlnB Page 4 Palmetto Aviation

Learners can preview or enroll in any of the courses.

Module 1 - Introduction

Module 6 - Situational Awareness

If we want to improve the ways people – individually and collectively – conduct and support flight operations, we’ll have to understand how humans think, what motivates them, what are their needs, fears, and biases.

Situational Awareness involves an appreciation of everything we need to know with respect to flying, controlling, or maintaining an aircraft.

Module 2 - Safety Culture

Module 7 - Decision-making

The truth is that we’re all subject to cultural influences – good or bad. Module 2 discusses organizational and individual safety cultures.

Module 3 - Human Performance Module 1- than Introduction For more a century, we've been producing and flying powered aircraft. Each new design flies more payload farther, faster, and more efficiently then those that have gone before.

Module 4 - Communication Effective communication is critical to safe flight operations. Misunderstandings and communication failures at best cost time and money, and at worst, compromise safety.

Module 5 - Teamwork The truth is, there is a huge network of individuals and services available to every pilot and working with these assets as a team, we can fly to more places, more efficiently, and more safely than we can on our own.

This module teaches us how to make good decisions, even in tough situations.

Module 8 - Threat and Error Management This module gives us knowledge and tools to manage threats, errors, and undesired aircraft states.

Module 9 - Human Information Processing We'll begin our discussion with an overview of how our information processing system works and how a process intended to lead to success can occasionally contribute to failure.

Module 10 - Design and Automation Technology and automation have advanced aviation safety. But they have also changed the way pilots interact with their aircraft and that has created some challenges.

Adventure to AirVenture: One SC Teen’s Ultralight Journey to Oshkosh In July 2023, Mount Pleasant teenager Alina Scott embarked on a solo flight to EAA AirVenture Oshkosh. Spanning six days, 1,000 miles, and six states, Alina was 14 years old when she completed her flight. As a Part 103 operator of an Aerolite 103, Alina was able to fly to Oshkosh before she had a driver’s or private pilot’s license.

Aviation runs in the Scott family. Her father, William, is a pilot, and Alina was inspired by her older brother’s ultralight journey from the family’s previous home in Virginia to Oshkosh in 2019.

She prepared for the flight over months of practice, beginning with back and forth runs on the grass strip in the Scott’s neighborhood.

Because she was inexperienced with creating flight plans, William assumed the responsibility for creating the cross-country flight plan. As Alina flew, William would follow along on the roads below. Often, Alina landed before her father arrived, and she struck up conversations with the individuals at the airports where she landed. “At the airports where I landed, the people were kind and welcoming,” Alina said.

During the six-day trip, Alina kept in communication with her father via cell phone. Lacking a place to store her phone, she would sit on it and pull it out to check in when conditions allowed. “As I kept flying, I gained a better understanding of when it was safe to use my phone to check in.”

As with any cross-country flight, Alina’s journey had unexpected developments. The year’s extreme Canadian wildfire season caused smoke to decrease visibility in numerous states here in America.

When flying through Indiana, Alina had to end the day’s flight earlier than anticipated. “There came a point where I was flying 400 feet above ground that wasn’t perfectly flat. I didn’t want to push too far and potentially run into trees,” she said.

As Alina flew into Oshkosh, she was communicating with the tower. Her ultralight’s muffler broke off.

After six days of flying, she had gotten used to the aircraft’s sounds, and knew the hollow, high, louder sound was not right. Despite the then-unknown source of the noise, and with a few prayers for a safe landing, Alina was welcomed to Oshkosh by volunteers.

Alina spent her time at Oshkosh flying with other ultralight pilots. At the end of the week, she was invited to the EAA banquet and awarded the Pilot of the Year award.

A humble young lady, Alina did not expect her journey to draw attention.

“When I arrived at Oshkosh, I didn’t expect many people to react to what I did. I wasn’t expecting crowds of people or the interviews that followed,” she said. “I am proud of my accomplishment.”

Alina dreams of attending the Air Force Academy and becoming a pilot in the Air Force.

To view a video about Alina’s journey visit: https://bit.ly/4cI19Fe Oshkosh 2024 is July 22-28.

Success for Gary Richardson That makes a winning smile, a bright personality and being a good conversationalist huge assets for airport staff.

When people meet Gary “Yam” Richardson of Georgetown, it’s often his smile they notice first and remember later. It’s warm and genuine. It makes people feel at ease and want to smile back. That smile paired with a polite, friendly demeanor opened the door to a successful career for Richardson, 34, who is now an airplane mechanic at the Georgetown Airport. His work ethic and drive to succeed did the rest, allowing him to make the most of the opportunity presented.

It all started because Richardson worked at a gas station near the airport where Airport Manager Jim Taylor would buy gas.“Gary worked the counter there. Every time I walked in, he would be smiling,” Taylor recalled. “He conversed with me; he’d seen the Georgetown County Airport logo on my shirt and asked me what we did, who’s out there.”

In turn, Taylor would ask Richardson questions, like if he played football. Richardson did and had been something of a star player for Georgetown High School as a student.

“It was always a good conversation, no matter what we talked about,” Taylor said. So when Taylor had a job opening at the airport, he asked Richardson if he’d be interested in applying.

He’d advertised the position and hadn’t found the right applicant. “I got to thinking, ‘maybe Gary,” Taylor said. The more he thought about it, the more sense it made. Airport staff are usually the first point of contact for prospective businesses, destination travelers and many other visitors.

“To shine, to smile, to extend your hand for a handshake and help people with their bags, it puts a great first impression in people’s heads,” Taylor said.

So the next time Taylor stopped in for gas, he decided to find out if Richardson wanted an opportunity to try something new.“I’m thinking ‘what would I do at the airport,’” Richardson recalled.

“He said ‘just come on out here, I’ll give you a tour and you let me know if you like it.’”Richardson decided to give it a shot.

And he excelled.

He excelled so much that it wasn’t long before someone else made him an offer. Sam Boyle, president and CEO of Tumeq, the company that owns the airport’s fixed base operator Seven Rivers Aviation, saw how Richardson conducted himself at the airport. “He was impressed by his skill set – and demeanor is a skill set,” Taylor said. Boyle asked if there would be any ill feelings if he “stole” Richardson for his company. “He approached me and said, ‘How’d you like to learn how to work on planes? You’re a little too smart to be cutting grass,” Richardson said of Boyle. He accepted and the company created a maintenance apprenticeship position for him, where he has learned to work on aircraft.

Richardson graduated from Georgetown High School in 2008 and attended Georgia Military College for a semester before deciding that wasn’t a good fit for him. He moved to Springfield, Mass., for a while and got his commercial driver’s license.

He drove trucks and traveled for a bit, but his hometown was always calling to him. He took custody of his daughter, now in

middle school, and decided to settle back in Georgetown near family in 2018. That’s when he took the job at the gas station where he met Taylor. Before that fateful conversation about a job helping Taylor at the airport, Richardson said he had never given any consideration careers in aviation or really even known it was an option to be considered.

“I mean, I guess I knew somebody had to work on airplanes, but it’s not something I thought about,” Richardson said. “I didn’t know anything about planes. To be honest, I couldn’t have told you the difference between a metric wrench and a standard one. I’ve been training since September of last year and in April I installed my first motor.”

Though it’s a career path he 8 never imagined for himself, Richardson said its one he enjoys and intends to continue on. “It’s a great opportunity and there’s lots of room to grow, so I like that. It’s also cool to tell people, ‘Hey, I work on planes,’” he said, flashing that radiant smile. “You’re never really doing the same thing every day, and there’s so many different planes – some I haven’t even seen yet.

It challenges you every day.

That’s what I like about it.”

Appropriately for a job in Aviation, Taylor said the sky is the limit for Richardson if he stays on this track.

“At the end of two years, hopefully he has acquired the skillset to take the test to become a certified A&P – airframe and powerplant mechanic,” Taylor said. “If he puts in another five years beyond that, he legitimately could write his own ticket and go anywhere in the country.

It’s awesome.”

Marion County Airport: Blending Community and Traditon to Move Forward Charles Taylor has been in the aviation industry for more than 45 years and became the airport director for Marion County Airport in 2023. Marion County Airport, a general aviation airport located at 225 Airport Court, Mullins, South Carolina, has been serving the community since its humble beginnings as a grass strip in 1963. Officially opening in 1974 with a 4,000foot runway, the airport has seen significant development over the years. The latest upgrade, completed in November 2023, extended the runway to 5,004 feet, ensuring better service and safety for all aircraft.

Under Taylor’s leadership, the airport operates as a fixed-base operation, providing essential services such as low-lead 100 and jet A fuel, with 10,000-gallon self-service tanks available.

The airport’s operational hours are from 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., but the facilities remain accessible to pilots and visitors around the clock. Amenities include restrooms, a conference room, a pilot’s lounge with TV and refreshments, ensuring a welcoming environment for all.

Community Engagement and Aviation Week Marion County Airport plays an active role in the community.

It hosted an event during SC Aviation Week in April 2024, which had 128 attendees, including representatives, senators, and members of U.S. Senator

Page 10 Palmetto Aviation

Tim Scott’s office. The event highlighted the importance of aviation and its opportunities, as well as airport improvements and future ideas, with participation from various cities such as Greenville, Columbia, Georgetown, Myrtle Beach and more.

Charles Taylor himself cooked a delicious lunch for everyone, fostering a sense of community and hospitality.

Educational Initiatives Looking ahead, the airport aims to engage with local schools.

Plans are in place to host field trips for students from fifth to eighth grade, introducing them to aviation careers. These visits will feature demonstrations from pilots and helicopter operators, showcasing the diverse opportunities within the aviation industry.

Breezy Flight School The airport has recently launched the Breezy Flight School, with instructor James Wallace offering flight lessons.

This initiative provides an excellent opportunity for those interested in learning to fly, further embedding the airport’s role as an educational and community hub.

Marion County Airport, under the leadership of Charles Taylor, continues to grow and thrive, offering a blend of tradition, community spirit, and forward-thinking development. The airport not only serves as a vital transportation hub but also as a beacon of community engagement and educational opportunity.

Future Plans Marion County Airport has ambitious plans for expansion, including the construction of a new 9,480-square-foot terminal building. This modern facility will include conference rooms and a small restaurant named “The Hangar,” enhancing the airport’s appeal to the general public and business travelers.

Soaring Ambitions: A Journey from Classroom to Cockpit By: Robbie Albertson, Aerospace Engineering Instructor, Pickens County Career & Technology Center As the engines roared to life, the moment’s thrill was undeniable. The planes taxied to the runway one by one and ascended into the overcast sky.

The students still had a breathtaking view of the local area from above, including a flyover of their high schools. This aerial tour provided a unique perspective on the place they called home and underscored the tangible connection between their academic efforts and the real world.

The morning of May 17, 2024, was overcast with a slight drizzle over Pickens County Airport (KLQK).

Even though the weather was not perfect, it was an ideal day for a group of eager students from the Pickens County Career and Technology Center (PCCTC). These students diligently completed the AOPA STEM curriculum, a rigorous program that marries science, technology, engineering, and mathematics with the exciting world of aviation. Their reward was not just the satisfaction of completing the courses but something far more exhilarating: a chance to take to the skies in a real aircraft.

Each student had the incredible opportunity to take the controls, guided carefully by their pilot.

With hands on the yoke, they felt the aircraft respond to their inputs, a powerful and empowering experience. This hands-on flight time was a joyride and a practical application of their studies, transforming theoretical knowledge into real-world skills.

This program has been a cornerstone of the PCCTC’s aviation curriculum for the past four years. It has inspired many students to pursue further training, with several completing their Private Pilot training. The success stories are numerous, As the students arrived at the airport, their excite with former students continuing their studies in ment was evident.

For these young aviators, the sky was no longer the limit; it was just the beginning.

The real highlight of the day was the flight itself.

The group was divided among three aircraft, each piloted by one of the seasoned aviators. Luke Spicer, Skeets Cooper, and Robbie Albertson shared their passion for flying as they prepared their planes for takeoff. For many students, this would be their first experience in a small aircraft, far removed from the commercial flights they might have taken.
