No FAA Discrepancies At KIND For 12th Consecutive Year

Airport Passes Annual FAA Safety Inspection With Flying Colors

For the twelfth consecutive year, Indianapolis International Airport (IND) has passed its three-day annual Part 139 Airport Certification inspection by the FAA with no discrepancies. The Part 139 inspection is a comprehensive review process required for an airport to renew its operating certificate. Airport officials say that an inspection with no discrepancies is noteworthy; maintaining this level of achievement for 12 consecutive years represents an exceptional level of achievement.

The three-day inspection process involves the scrutiny of safety records, emergency operation manuals, and other documents; meetings with airport management; and on-site checks by a team of federal inspectors. “Safeguarding the well-being of the flying public is something built into the airport culture, and our team works relentlessly every day not just at maintaining that commitment, but improving our practices whenever possible,” said Mike Medvescek, chief operating officer for the Indianapolis Airport Authority.

“Although we’re proud to mark our twelfth straight year with no discrepancies, we’ll work even harder and never be complacent in doing the things required to attain the level of performance reflected in our inspection record,” he added. ”Our employees are dedicated and well trained to handle any safety or security issue.”

Medvescek’s staff perform public safety, security, airfield operations, maintenance, terminal services, and other critical airport functions. Responsibilities include continuously patrolling airport property to guard against potential violations and promptly address any maintenance, safety, or security issues.

The components of the inspection focus on ensuring compliance and safety criteria in areas including:

  • Type and condition of aircraft firefighting and rescue equipment
  • Timed-response emergency drills
  • Airfield security
  • Safe, appropriate movement of aircraft and ground-support equipment
  • Quality of lighting, signage, markings, and pavement conditions for runways, taxiways, ramps, and apron areas
  • Fuel facilities and mobile fueling operations
  • Wildlife management
