Book excerpt: The objectives of this research were as follows: (1) Compile an inventory of the physical characteristics of Kansas general aviation airports; (2) Conduct a survey of air ambulance firms regarding the airport facilities that are required for safe air ambulance service and compare their requirements to actual conditions at value of air ambulance services provided to rural Kansas patients; and (3) Conduct surveys of Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) of rural Kansas hospitals as well as "flying doctors" to determine the types and values of medical services provided at rural Kansas hospitals that are made possible by airports and aviation.

This book was released on 1996 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given indications of the decline in the quality of Kansas General Aviation Airports and the potential negative effects of airport deterioration on Kansas communities, the objectives of the research are to document the deterioration of Kansas General Aviation Airports by obtaining information regarding the needed capital improvements at these airports; to measure the economic impacts of substandard airports on general aviation service users; and to identify the types of business firms whose location decisions are significantly affected by high quality air service. The objectives of the research are accomplished through the use of questionnaires distributed to managers of Kansas General Aviation Airports, to Kansas businesses that use airports, and to members of the Kansas Pilots Association (KPA). Airport managers provided a long list of needed capital improvements with special emphasis on lengthening and resurfacing the runway.

Download or read book Assessment of Pavement Condition of General Aviation Airports in Kansas written by Mustaque Hossain and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The major objective of this research was to assess the pavement condition of the General Aviation (GA) airport runways in Kansas. This study was also intended to form the basis for a pavement management system (PMS) for these airports. The survey shows that approximately 26% of the GA airport runway sections surveyed are in poor to failed condition. The pavement deterioration model developed for these sections indicates that by June 1997 this percentage will increase to about 33%. The network maintenance report developed in this study shows that the fifteen airports under this study are in need of approximately $800,000 for repairs as of June 1995 in order to keep the average condition of these airports rated as "good". In this pilot study, 16 out of 116 paved runways were surveyed for a PMS for the GA airports in Kansas. This study indicates that a full-scale PMS based on MicroPAVER (a microcomputer-based PMS developed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers) for GA airports in Kansas is feasible. In order to develop a working PMS for the whole network in Kansas, it is recommended that as a minimum, a 30% sample, or 20 more paved runways, be surveyed

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emergency Medical Services (EMS) is a critical component of our nation's emergency and trauma care system, providing response and medical transport to millions of sick and injured Americans each year. At its best, EMS is a crucial link to survival in the chain of care, but within the last several years, complex problems facing the emergency care system have emerged. Press coverage has highlighted instances of slow EMS response times, ambulance diversions, trauma center closures, and ground and air medical crashes. This heightened public awareness of problems that have been building over time has underscored the need for a review of the U.S. emergency care system. Emergency Medical Services provides the first comprehensive study on this topic. This new book examines the operational structure of EMS by presenting an in-depth analysis of the current organization, delivery, and financing of these types of services and systems. By addressing its strengths, limitations, and future challenges this book draws upon a range of concerns: • The evolving role of EMS as an integral component of the overall health care system. • EMS system planning, preparedness, and coordination at the federal, state, and local levels. • EMS funding and infrastructure investments. • EMS workforce trends and professional education. • EMS research priorities and funding. Emergency Medical Services is one of three books in the Future of Emergency Care series. This book will be of particular interest to emergency care providers, professional organizations, and policy makers looking to address the deficiencies in emergency care systems.

Download or read book Securing General Aviation written by Bartholomew Elias and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: General aviation (GA) - a catch-all category that includes about 54% of all civilian aviation activity within the United States encompasses a wide range of airports, aircraft, and flight operations. Because GA plays a small but important role in the U.S. economy, improving upon GA security without unduly impeding air commerce or limiting the freedom of movement by air remains a significant challenge. However, policymakers have received mixed signals about the relative security risk posed by GA, due to its diversity and a general lack of detailed information regarding the threat and vulnerability of various GA operations. While some recent high-profile breaches of GA security point to persisting vulnerabilities and limited intelligence information suggest a continued terrorist interest in using GA aircraft, it is evident that GA airports, aircraft, and operations vary considerably with regard to security risk. While the small size and slow speed of most GA aircraft significantly limit the risk they pose, some experts still fear that they could be used as a platform for a chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear attack. Certain sectors of GA, such as crop dusters and larger business aircraft, present more specific risks because of their unique capabilities and aircraft characteristics.
