Airfield Marking Practicum
By Mike Speidel
    Sightline and AAAE are pleased to bring you the first airport markings workshop! The dates to block off
on the calendar are November 9-11, 2008 in Reno, NV. This training targets everyone involved with the design, specification,
application and maintenance, supervising, and/or inspecting of airfield markings. Named the "AAAE Airfield Marking Practicum",
it will be a full day and a half of training. A portion of the workshop will include demonstrations performed at Reno-Tahoe
International Airport by their staff. Incidentally, we're observing them because they have been trained by Sightline.
    What can I expect from the training? Each participant will receive a Sightline training manual to
be used in conjunction with the course. The course is dedicated to improving the effectiveness, efficiency, and economy of
pavement markings for airfields. Attention will be paid to the details. Designed to teach the specifics of this particular
aspect of airport visual guidance systems, this course has a high practical content. Participants will be trained to
recognize deficiencies and gain proficiency in the application and maintenance of airfield markings.
    Where can I find more information? The conference will be held in Reno, NV, from November 9-11, 2008.

a man to fish... we'll see you in Reno!
