JAX CTLR EXPRESSED CONCERN REGARDING RWY CLOSURE PROCS AND THE COORD PRACTICES BTWN ATC AND THE ARPT.

Narrative

IN SEP/05; JAX HAD 2 OPERRORS FOR DEPARTING 2 ACFT FROM/ON A CLOSED RWY. THE JAX ARPT MAINT EXACERBATED THIS PROB BY PLACING THE RWY CLOSURE (LARGE) YELLOW X'S IN THE OVER-RUN AREAS (STANDARD LCL PROC) INSTEAD OF PROMINENTLY DISPLAYED ON OR NEAR THE RWY NUMBERS. TO COMPLICATE AND MAKE MATTERS EVEN MORE DANGEROUS; JAX ATCT MGMNT IS NOW MANDATING THAT THE ATC CTLRS SHOW THE WY AS 'CLOSED' AT THE TIME ISSUED ON THE NOTAM. THIS MEANS THAT REGARDLESS OF ANY ACTIVITY BY ARPT OPS; MAINT VEHICLES; RWY CLOSURE SIGNAGE; ETC; THAT THE RWY IS UNUSABLE; IE; CLOSED. THIS SETS UP A WHOLE LIST OF OTHER CAUSAL FACTORS THAT WILL INCREASE THE NUMBER OF RWY INCURSIONS AND CLOSED RWY OPERRORS AT JAX. CASE IN POINT; ON NOV/MON/05 WE HAD 3 CTLRS WORKING IN THE TWR AT XA00. BOTH RWYS WERE BEING SHOWN OPEN AND THE TWR WAS USING BOTH RWYS. AT XA05; A CTLR CAME UP TO THE TWR TO GIVE A BREAK TO THE CTLR THAT HAD BEEN WORKING THE LONGEST. THE RELIEVING CTLR GOT TO THE TWR CAB AND ASKED WHY WE WERE DEPARTING ON RWY 13. THE RELIEVING CTLR INQUIRED IF WE HAD BEEN ADVISED THAT RWY 13 WAS NOTAM'ED CLOSED AT XA00. WE STATED THAT WE HAD NOT; LCL CTLR CANCELED A TKOF CLRNC AND WE CALLED THE SUPVR IMMEDIATELY. THE SUPVR STATED THAT THE 'RWY WAS NOTAM'ED CLOSED;' BUT THAT 'ARPT OPS WAS NOT GOING TO BE WORKING ON IT TODAY.' SUPVR INSTRUCTED US TO USE THE RWY AND CALLED GAINESVILLE FSS TO ENSURE THAT THE NOTAM WAS REMOVED. ALL IT TAKES IS 1 PERSON TO NOT PASS THE NOTAM INFO TO THE TWR; AND THE CTLRS WILL BE HAVING RWY INCURSIONS ALL DAY. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DO NOT TREAT RWY CLOSURES; OR ANY TYPE OF HAZARD TO AVIATION; ON A REAL-TIME BASIS. PROPOSED SOLUTIONS: 1) REMOVE THE LCL JAX TWR RWY CLOSURE PROC IMMEDIATELY. 2) ENSURE BETTER REAL-TIME COORD AND COM BTWN JAX ARPT OPS AND JAX ATCT. 3) WORK WITH JAX ARPT OPS TO PROMOTE BETTER PLACEMENT OF RWY CLOSURE SIGNAGE. 4) EXCEPT FOR ACFT ACCIDENTS; ELIMINATE ON-THE-SPOT RWY CLOSURES. NO NOTAM; NO PRIOR (TIMELY) COORD; NO CLOSURE. (I KNOW THAT THE ARPT OWNS THE RWYS; BUT THEY ARE OUR PARTNERS IN SAFETY AND THEY SHOULD ASSIST US IN OUR GOAL OF ZERO TOLERANCE FOR RWY INCURSIONS.) 5) HOLD JAX ARPT OPS AND JAX AIRWAYS FACILITIES ACCOUNTABLE FOR TIMELY COORD OF CONTRACTOR COMPANIES WORKING AT THE ARPT.
