Existing RSA Conditions - 2014

LAX RSAs Needing Improvement

Argo Ditch traversed 24R RSA

Existing localizer, VSR, parking lot and fence violate 24L RSA standards.

Existing blast fence, VSR, fence, public road & Dunes violate 6R RSA standards.

Existing blast fence, fence, public road & railroad violate 25R RSA standards.

7R RSA required grading to meet RSA standards.

Re-sequenced Runway Implementation Schedule in May 2014

The Runway Safety Area (RSA) Program for LAX• Runway 25L RSA and Temporary Repair – runway closure 1st

QTR of year• Runway 24R RSA and Rehabilitation – summer runway closure• Runway 24L RSA – shortened runway during construction• Runway 25R RSA and Rehabilitation – shorten runway/full

closure 1st QTR of year

Meeting the Challenges

6

• Monthly Airline/FAA/Planning/Operations meeting• Detailed phasing working with ATCT and Operations• Developed visual phasing/sequencing presentation• Bi-weekly FAA/LAWA meeting/teleconference• Developed FAA/LAWA Integrated Schedule• Coordinate AOA access and haul routes• Strict phasing with Liquidated Damages and

incentives for early completion• Press releases, community presentations, website
