The headline in the Wyoming Tribune Eagle, Thursday Dec 15, 2011, Page A7:
"A federal program has improved safety at Cheyenne regional airport."
The airport received $300,000 in grants from the Federal aviation Administration.
Cheyenne airport officials and others used the money to develop and put into action a safety management plan.
The FAAA made this donation to 14 airports across the country, selected for the FAA safety management pilot project.
About 20 possible hazards at the airport were identified.
1. Place concrete barriers at the end of Runway 27 so airport personall wouldn't drive off the end of it, which had a drop off of 15 feet.
Put up more signs wehere roads intersecty with areas of the runway and taxiways.
Protect ther safety area around the end of the runway. The grass inside the safety aera must be mowed to a different height than other grass.
The plan also includes a reporting method so people can tell about new hazards without revealing their names.
