List

Date	State	County	Airport	Route	Problem Location	Problem Description	Detailed Comments	Suggestions
07/07/2012	District of Columbia	District of Columbia	Reagan National Airport	DC to Charleston	On tarmac	Ramp Quality (uneven grade, rough)	Due to extreme heat, a soft spot on the runway pavement occurred which caused a US Airways airplane to become immobilized in a depressed rut.	Document all high-risk spots on airport runways and replace with tougher material than asphalt such as concrete that can withstand extreme temperatures (cold or hot).
01/12/2012	New Jersey	Essex	Newark	Chicago to Newark	Gate A33 jet bridge	Visual observations (capacity, age)	Jet bridge is leaking and rusting on edge panels of the floor. Rain storm revealed this situation.	Have leakage areas checked and consider a rust preventative or floor panel replacement before the integrity of entire jet bridge is compromised.
12/19/2011	Georgia	Fulton	Hartsfield-Jackson	Atlanta, GA-Fort Lauderdale, FL	Waiting area in Terminal D	Visual observations (capacity, age)	Nearly 10-12 planes were in a long queue on the ramp, waiting for an available runway for takeoff. This congestion causes unnecessary idling, control towers scrambling, and time delays.	Better time synchronization of aircrafts and takeoffs. Control towers and gate monitors should adjust boardings according to plane traffic. Consider upgrading runway capacity to accommodate.
11/12/2011	Florida	Broward	Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood Airport	Fort Lauderdale to Chicago	Terminal 3: Concourse E	Facility Condition (surface, buildings)	Concourse E is antiquated. The seats look as if they were installed in the 70s or 80s. No charging stations or plugs are available. Waiting area is inadequate. Many are forced to stand or spill over into the nearby gate's seats.	Modernize and expand the concourse to today's standards. It may attract many more customers.
11/08/2011	Illinois	Cook	O'Hare	Chicago to Newark	Ground level transport	Facility Condition (surface, buildings)	Ground access via rail is inadequate. Currently, it takes 45 minutes by CTA subway from the airport to downtown. This forces passengers into cars and cabs, adding to heavy congestion.	Build a dedicated rail link (commuter or light rail) devoted to airport passengers. Or have express trains on the Blue subway line run in regular headways to the airport and back.
