Airport Master Plan Update Discussion Port staff was thanked for the presentation made to the City Council at the Work Session on September 12. It was recommended to the Port that the Master Plan limit flight training schools at the airport to one. The new Silver State helicopter training school will soon duplicate the volume of flights generated by the previous training academy. Adding any more training schools to the airport will certainly have negative impacts on neighboring communities. Aviation Director Steve Grossman reported that they are not actively looking to add any training schools at the airport. Air traffic will naturally limit the volume of training flights allowed. Additionally, the Port is not designating any more land at the North Field for training schools. Any expected growth at the North Field will primarily be for corporate aircraft. 2.
