Airport

Runway Incursion Hazard Area - 3

The Navy AM-1 Mauler pictured here with PDK's NAS Atlanta insignia is preserved at the National Museum of Naval Aviation History in Pensacola, FL. In April, 1949, Martin Corporation test pilot O.E. "Pat" Tibbs flew this Mauler to set an unofficial weight lifting record of 10,648 pounds. This included three 2,200-pound torpedoes, twelve 250-pound bombs, and 800 rounds of ammunition for the four wing-mounted 20mm cannons.
 

Since 1997, PDK has offered voluntary relocation assistance to almost 200 residents that live in areas that experience high levels of noise from PDK operations. These homes were identified in a noise compatibility study that the airport completed in 1996. The study was conducted with a spirit of cooperation with the neighborhoods surrounding PDK and attempts to remedy current and future noise impacts affecting our citizens.

Completed 2007 Concrete Taxiway Album

In 2008, we expect to replace multiple slabs of concrete on the Runway 20L. This is a project of very high priority and criticality, since this runway is the main lifeline to the airport's everyday operation. This will cause us to close the runway for an unknown period of time. However, dates to accomplish this project will be known and planned for well in advance, so everyone will be notified. The attached pictures show the boring of holes in the runway to determine the strength and thickness of the concrete and the composition of the base and sub-base.
