Daggett County says PAPI lights are installed but not commissioned; staff to note status
Summary
Airport engineer Brett Reynolds told the commission that PAPI approach lights passed a nighttime flight inspection but have not been fully commissioned; staff will publish a notice the lights are not operational while paperwork and final commissioning continue.
Airport engineer Brett Reynolds told the Daggett County Commission that the Precision Approach Path Indicator (PAPI) lighting at local airports has been installed and passed a recent nighttime flight check but “are not commissioned.” Reynolds said the team must complete final paperwork and a commissioning step before calling the lights fully operational. "So the PAPIs are working, but not commissioned," he said.
Commission staff agreed to publish a notice indicating the PAPIs are not yet operational while they pursue final commissioning with the appropriate engineer and the Department of Aeronautics. Brian Gibson (IT) and county staff will track related documentation; Reynolds said he is reviewing old emails and coordination notes to determine outstanding items. The commission emphasized maintaining clear safety notices until the commissioning paperwork and any required on-site verification are completed.
Relevance and provenance: This discussion began with the airport update and PAPI status and continued into a broader conversation about commissioning and insurance for airport management (transcript segments: topic start SEG 087, topic end SEG 141).
