Thank you for your cooperation and patience aswe undertake this important project.Request an ADS-Bperformance report tomake sure everything isworking the way it should.Safety SpotlightWhat Could Possibly Go Wrong? ADS-B Installation ErrorsFAA data shows that about 5,000 of the 27,000 ADS-B Out installations haveperformance problems or transmit incorrect data. Most (4,100) of those are singleengine GA aircraft.Common ADS-B installation issues the FAA team has seen include: Transmission of a wrong ICAO code Incorrect flight identification (aircraft call sign) Dual-Out boxes using different ICAO codes Reporting in airborne mode while taxiing or stationary Missing barometric pressure/altitude Invalid Mode 3/A Code Incorrect emitter category Aircraft with position errorsOne way to make sure everything is good is to use ground-based testing equipment.This equipment will detect most issues, but the ultimate test is to fly the aircraft in

3ADS-B rule airspace and request a performance report. The FAA will provide aperformance report free of charge, usually within 30 minutes of a flight.

In addition, the MatSu Area office also oversees wildland fire suppression activities on approximately88 million acres in Southwest Alaska, utilizing a forward-operating base inMcGrath.The Mat-Su offices footprint at the airport is a sizeable one. In addition to its main15,200-square-foot office, which houses management, administrative and dispatchstaff for the office and Coastal Region, the facility also features an 18,000-squarefoot warehouse and a 15,000 square-foot hangar that is home to DOF’s fleet of fourState aircraft. The Mat-Su compound also includes a retardant base with four10,000-gallon tanks to store retardant and water, as well as an initial attack helibase.The Mat-Su office has a workforce of approximately 100 personnel, a number thatincludes two 20-person wildland fire crews – Pioneer Peak Interagency HotshotCrew and Gannett Glacier Type 2 Initial Attack Crew - that are based at the TrunkRoad Campus a few miles west of Palmer.As you might suspect given the nature of wildfire, much of the DOF workforce isseasonal, typically working anywhere from March, April or May until September.Firefighters and aviation staff begin working/training in March while warehouseand other overhead personnel start in May.

4During fire season, the number of personnel working at Mat-Su Forestry officetypically increases as resources such as firefighters, dispatchers, warehouseworkers, engines and helicopters are brought in to supplement local resources.Depending on the year, the number ofpersonnel at the Area office can increaseexponentially. In 2015, for example, theMat-Su office brought in approximately800 additional personnel to help combatwhat turned out to be the second-largestfire season on record in Alaska. Many ofthose personnel were brought in to assistwith suppression of the devastatingSockeye Fire in Willow.The DOF maintains a fleet of four stateowned aircraft at the Palmer airport thatincludes an AC-1000 and an AC840,both of which are used for air attack/leadplanes; a DHC-2 Beaver used fordetection flights and cargo hauling; and a AC-500 Shrike that is used primarily fordetection flights. The DOF also has one helicopter based at the Mat-Su helibasefrom late April to late July, as well as an air tanker from early May to late July.Both the helicopter and air tanker are contract aircraft that include pilots andmechanics. Additional aircraft and pilots are brought in as needed, depending onfire activity. In 2014 and 2015, for example, there were as many as 20 aircraftparked on the runway at the Palmer Airport during the fire season.In addition to supplying firefighters with the supplies they need to battle wildfiresin the Mat-Su Valley, the DOF State Fire Warehouse in Palmer also supplies Areaoffices in Kenai and McGrath with the equipment they need throughout the fireseason. The warehouse keeps aninventory of more than 5 millionworth of supplies on hand thatincludes everything from hoses topumps to chainsaws to tools toclothing to batteries to bug dope tofoot powder, and much more. Thewarehouse also keeps pallets ofbottled water, plastic five-gallon jugsof water, MRE’s and batteries stockedfor emergencies that may occuroutside fire season.Obviously, the Mat-Su/SW Areaoffice has a considerable economicimpact on the City of Palmer. Whilesome of the seasonal wildland fire technicians, crew members, pilots and overheadpersonnel live in Palmer or the Valley year-round, many of them are from out ofstate and rent apartments or stay in hotels in Palmer during the fire season. They

5also eat at local restaurants, shop in local stores and contribute to the local economyin numerous other ways.Likewise, individuals brought in to supplement the local workforce at differenttimes during the fire season are housed in local hotels, eat at local restaurants andfrequent other local establishments, such as gas stations, laundromats, departmentstores, etc.The partnership between Forestry’s Mat-Su/SW Area office, the Palmer Airportand the City of Palmer is a symbiotic one that the Division of Forestry hopes willcontinue for many years to come.

This figure tells you how many leaves must unfold each day to achieve visible bud at the desired time.
