SKY HARBOR RECEIVES PERFECT FAA INSPECTION

Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport completed its annual Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certification inspection with zero discrepancies for the fourth consecutive year.

Major airports must undergo a comprehensive inspection each year to ensure compliance with federal aviation regulations. Federal officials audit inspection records, fueling procedures, and emergency response procedures. Employee training records also are inspected to ensure that all training is current. In addition, a thorough evaluation of the entire airfield is conducted to ensure that it is safe for air traffic.

The airport successfully completed all phases of the inspection and received a score of zero discrepancies. “Consistent airfield safety is a priority at Sky Harbor,” said Phoenix Assistant Aviation Director Carl Newman.
