Airport Information Reporting for Oregon
In a co-operative effort between the Oregon Department of Aviation, AOPA (Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association) and the Oregon Pilots Association, the OPA has agreed to coordinate the volunteers that will serve to communicate airport conditions and situational information to the agency that can best utilize the observational details and serve the aviation communities best interest.
We are hoping that AOPA ASN (Airport Support Network) volunteers and the AIRO volunteer designated for each airport could be the same person. Keeping it simple and coordinating communication just makes sense!
Is there an AIRO for every airport?
Unfortunately, there are airports without and ASN-AIRO. Here is the list of airports currently without a a volunteer.
Who do I contact to be a volunteer?

What does an AIRO-ASN do?
In addition to reporting via phone if there is a situation that would warrant reporting to ODA, FAA, TSA or other agency. Periodic reports or facility conditions is important to keep ODA aware of facility conditions. The ODA checklist is available here. Just fill it out and send it in.
Observations are information. Cracked pavement, missing or damaged signs, fence or gate problems are all examples of what might be present at an airport without the knowledge of the airport operator, owner or sponsor.
If it hasn't been reported, does anyone know to fix it? |
