Airport board reviews hangar lease compliance, event schedule and simulator cybersecurity
Summary
Board members discussed T hangar lease compliance (about six notices issued), upcoming events including Young Eagles and pancake breakfast, and a cybersecurity concern that the flight simulator should not be connected to the Internet because it runs Windows 10.
Board members reported on T hangar lease compliance, community events and a cybersecurity concern about a flight simulator used for training.
Speaker 2 said the airport issued about six lease-compliance notices and that one lease was returned to the airport. "We only had, I think, 6 people get nasty grams when we sign off the leases," Speaker 2 said, adding that staff will recheck remaining leases and plan to send reminders in March to tenants not meeting obligations.
On events, Speaker 2 listed planned activities including drive-in movies, three autocross events, a Young Eagles outreach effort likely targeting June, and a pancake breakfast later in the year (August).
The board also discussed cybersecurity for a flight simulator used in training. Speaker 2 warned that the simulator "should probably not touch the Internet" and noted it was still running Windows 10, which raises vulnerability concerns. The group discussed whether the simulator is on a local network or connected to the Internet and agreed to consult IT staff to restrict external access if necessary.
Speaker 2 additionally noted attendance commitments: the Iowa Airports Association legislative reception in Des Moines is scheduled for Feb. 18 and February is evaluation month for staff; the board flagged coverage and timing for upcoming meetings.
Board members did not record formal votes on lease enforcement or cybersecurity in the provided transcript; staff were directed to follow up with lists, reminders and IT consultation.
