FAI CTLR RPTS TXWY A LIGHTS ARE ALWAYS ON HIGH DUE TO POLICY RESULTING FROM RWY INCURSIONS.

Narrative

OVER THE PAST YEAR; FAI HAS EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS RWY INCURSIONS AT THE INTXN OF TXWY B; RWY 1L. THIS BEGAN TO OCCUR AFTER CONSTRUCTION ON THE W RAMP LAST SUMMER. AIR TFC MGMNT AND OR ARPT MGMNT HAD MADE THE TXWY A PORTION IN FRONT OF THE TERMINAL A NON-MOVEMENT AREA. AFTER RESEARCH AND REVIEW THIS WAS DETERMINED A POOR SET-UP. TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE AIR TFC MGMNT AND OR ARPT MGMNT SET UP TXWY A LIGHTS FROM TXWY B INTXN; N TO ALMOST TXWY N LIGHTS TO REMAIN ON AT ALL TIMES. BECAUSE OF CONSTRUCTION (REDOING TXWY A) WAS SET TO SHOW THIS AS A NON-MOVEMENT AREA; TXWY LIGHTS; SIGNS; MARKINGS WERE NOT ADEQUATELY MARKED TO SHOW THE TURN N/S ON TXWY A. TXWY A WAS THEN CHANGED BACK TO STATUS FULL-LENGTH AS A CTLED MOVEMENT AREA. OVER THE PAST YEAR; NUMEROUS RWY INCURSIONS ON RWY 1L AT THE INTXN OF TXWY B HAVE CONTINUED. SOME SAVED BY PLTS; SOME SAVED BY CTLRS; SOME NOT SAVED -- BUT LUCKILY NO ACCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED. WITHIN THE PAST COUPLE OF WKS 2 ACR JETS HAVE HAD RWY INCURSIONS AT THIS INTXN. AIR TFC MGMNT AND ARPT MGMNT ARE STILL TRYING TO COME UP WITH A VIABLE SOLUTION. TXWY LIGHT CTLS HAVE BEEN ALTERED. NOW THE 2 PLTS TONIGHT ARE SAYING THE TXWY CTRLINE LIGHTS ARE TOO BRIGHT; EVEN REQUESTING TO HAVE THESE CTRLINE LIGHTS TURNED OFF; HOWEVER; THE TWR HAS NO CTL. AFTER DISCUSSION WITH ARPT VEHICLE OP ON DUTY FOR TONIGHT; IT IS DETERMINED THAT THE CTRLINE LIGHTS ARE ON CONSTANTLY FROM TXWY B N TO TXWY M ON TXWY A TO TRY AND PREVENT RWY INCURSIONS. THE TWR NEEDS TO HAVE CTL OF THESE LIGHTS TO TURN ON/OF WHEN NEEDED/REQUESTED. AIR TFC MGMNT AND ARPT MGMNT NEEDS TO BE CONTINUING TO LOOK AT A MORE EFFECTIVE MEANS TO PREVENT RWY INCURSIONS ON RWY 1L AT TXWY B.
