Building the Next Generation of Airport Planners
Michael Mitchell serves as an Aviation Planner for KSA in McKinney, Texas. In addition to his role at KSA, Michael will be teaching Airport Design at Florida Institute of Technology. Students in the course will learn to apply the FAA’s AC 150/5300-13A, Airport Design standards. Students will analyze an airport’s airside features including runways, protection areas, zones, surfaces, taxiways, terminals and aprons, pavements, and on-airport navigational aids.
