Runway Safety Action Team (RAST) Meeting to be Held on December 11, 2024

Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport Users, 

Runway incursions remain a serious concern nationally. One important component of our ongoing efforts to improve surface safety at BZN involves conducting a Runway Safety Action Team (RSAT) meeting at least once each year. In conjunction with airport management, we will be conducting a local RSAT meeting on December 11, 2024. The meeting is scheduled from 10:30 am to 12:30 pm, and will be held virtually via Microsoft Teams and at 662 Wings Way Belgrade MT (Airport Operations and Customs building north of the tower). 

The purpose of this RSAT meeting is to unite those individuals and organizations that are actively involved in air traffic operations, movement of aircraft, vehicles and equipment on the Airport Operations Area (AOA). We look for participation from all major airport interests including tenants, fixed base operators, airport operations and maintenance personnel. Participants are asked to help develop recommendations and solutions to enhance surface safety. Those recommendations serve as the foundation for a site-specific Runway Safety Action Plan. You are cordially invited to join us.

Your participation is important and your input is welcomed. Please RSVP to the Air Traffic Manager Gail Wattum at  gail.wattum@serco-na.com. Include the name, organization, phone number and email address of those who will be attending.

If you have questions or need more information, please let me know. Gail can be reached at 406-388-9082 or gail.wattum@serco-na.com. 

Sincerely,

Gail Wattum
Air Traffic Manager
