Airport Safety Risk Management Process survey (ACRP S04-29)

Airport operators are invited to participate in a Safety Risk Management Process (SRM) survey in support of an Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) synthesis project.

The purpose of this survey is to gather information on how SRM processes are applied at airports, whether or not a formal Safety Management System is in place. Please base your responses on the practices and experiences at your airport.

Complete the ACRP SRM survey.

Answer is below the 'Project Spotlight' section.

The city of St. Joseph, in partnership with MoDOT and the FAA, completed Phase 1 of a new aviation complex at Rosecrans Memorial Airport (STJ) with the construction of a brand-new terminal facility.

This project represents the first step in a long-term plan to replace the airport’s former terminal and air traffic control tower (ATCT), which had reached the end of their useful service life. 

Completion of Phase 1 of the STJ Aviation Complex delivers a 7,500-square-foot, modern terminal facility that replaces infrastructure originally constructed in 1952 and establishes the foundation for future ATCT replacement. The terminal was intentionally sited and designed to support continued phased development of the aviation complex, minimizing rework and reducing long-term project risk.

Built in 1952, the former terminal and ATCT facilities at Rosecrans Memorial Airport had exceeded their useful service life. Phase 1 of the STJ Aviation Complex replaces these facilities with a modern terminal while honoring the airport’s history through a dedicated display featuring original bricks and sconces from the original complex.

By leveraging a combination of state general revenue and federal funding, the project maximized available resources while delivering a modern facility that improves safety, operational efficiency and long-term system reliability for northwest Missouri. 

New terminal features:

• Full-service restaurant that is open to passengers and the public.
• New airport administration offices supporting daily operations.
• Dedicated pilot lounge for general aviation users.
• Conference room for meetings, coordination and community use.
• Modern passenger areas designed for comfort, accessibility and efficiency.
