Narrative

THE ARPT MGR IS NOT TIMELY WHEN GIVING FIELD CONDITION RPTS THAT PORTRAY THE CURRENT FIELD CONDITIONS. THERE IS NO ARPT MGMNT ON THE FIELD AFTER 5PM ON WEEKDAYS AND NO ONE IS AVAILABLE ON WEEKENDS. AS AN EXAMPLE ON JAN/XA/96; AN AC69 HAD TO ABORT HIS TKOF ON RWY 34 DUE TO SLUSH AND STANDING WATER ON THE RWY. UPON A REQUEST FROM THE TWR; ARPT MGMNT PLOWED RWY 34 BUT DID NOT PLOW THE OTHER RWY; RWY 27; THE TXWYS OR THE RAMP AREAS. THE FIELD CONDITION PASSED TO THE TWR WAS 'RWY 9/27 COVERED WITH PATCHY SLUSH. ALL TXWYS AND RAMPS ARE COVERED WITH PATCHY SLUSH. BRAKING ACTION GOOD ON ALL SURFACES.' THE TEMP IN THIS AREA WAS ABOVE 40 DEGS ON JAN/XB/96 AND JAN/XC/96. ALL OF THE SLUSH WAS MELTED. NO NEW FIELD CONDITION WAS GIVEN TO THE TWR TO REFLECT THE NEW CONDITIONS. ACFT CHKING NOTAMS FOR BEVERLY AND WANTING TO DEPART BEFORE THE TWR OPENS OR LAND WOULD GET IMPROPER INFO ON THE CONDITION OF THE RWYS AND TXWYS. THE ONLY SOLUTION IS TO HAVE ARPT MGMNT AVAILABLE AT TIMES WHEN THE WX IS CONDUCIVE TO A CHANGE IN ARPT CONDITIONS. AS CTLRS WE NEED THE MOST UP TO DATE INFO SO THAT WE CAN RELAY THAT TO AN ACFT. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: RPTR STATED THAT AFTER THE FACILITY MET WITH THE ARPT MGR; THE ARPT MGR WILL SCHEDULE ONE OF HIS STAFF TO BE ON CALL ON WEEKENDS DURING THE WINTER. RPTR INDICATED THAT THEY; THE TWR; MIGHT HAVE TO CALL THE DESIGNATED PERSON TO COME OUT TO MAKE THE FIELD CONDITION RPTS. RPTR ALLEGED THAT THERE WOULD BE NO ONE AVAILABLE FOR THE 3 HR PERIOD AFTER THE ARPT OFFICE CLOSES AND WHEN THE TWR CLOSES. RPTR STATED THERE WOULD BE NO ONE AVAILABLE AFTER THE TWR CLOSES. RPTR INDICATED A CONCERN THAT OLD FIELD CONDITIONS RPTS COULD PROVIDE INACCURATE INFO AND MISLEAD PLTS AS TO THE ACTUAL CONDITIONS. RPTR STATED THAT A UCR HAD BEEN FILED BUT WAS CLOSED OUT BY THE FACILITY MGR AFTER THE MEETING WITH THE ARPT MGR.
