Fuel Facilities<br />
As the only fuel provider on the airfield,<br />
the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Mesquite</strong> owns the fuel farm<br />
and the fuel trucks. <strong>The</strong> fuel farm<br />
consists <strong>of</strong> two 12,000-gallon above<br />
ground storage tanks. <strong>The</strong> storage<br />
tanks, one for Avgas and the other for<br />
Jet A fuel, are located just west <strong>of</strong> the<br />
north apron. <strong>The</strong> farm is served by a<br />
service road extending from Airport<br />
Boulevard. Fuel is delivered to aircraft<br />
via a 1,000-gallon Avgas truck and a<br />
2,400-gallon Jet A fuel truck. <strong>The</strong><br />
<strong>airport</strong> recently installed a self-serve<br />
Avgas facility located on the north<br />
apron, near the west fence line,<br />
adjacent to the fuel farm.<br />
Aircraft Rescue and<br />
Firefighting (ARFF)<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are no ARFF facilities<br />
permanently based at <strong>Mesquite</strong> Metro<br />
Airport. <strong>The</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Mesquite</strong> provides<br />
ARFF services to the <strong>airport</strong> on an “oncall”<br />
basis. Fire Station No. 7 is located<br />
approximately two miles from the<br />
<strong>airport</strong> on Clay-Mathis Road.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>airport</strong> has provided advanced<br />
training to firefighters at Fire Station<br />
No. 7 on working with aircraft fires.<br />
<strong>The</strong> station also maintains specialized<br />
foaming agents designed for use with<br />
aircraft fires.<br />
Security Fencing<br />
In 2003, perimeter security fencing was<br />
installed with three electronic gate<br />
access points. Approved individuals are<br />
provided a card with an identifying<br />
1-12<br />
magnetic strip calibrated by the <strong>airport</strong><br />
staff which allows access through the<br />
gates. <strong>The</strong>re are also key pads on the<br />
gates where an access code can be<br />
entered. <strong>The</strong> three gate access points to<br />
the airfield are identified on Exhibit<br />
1C.<br />
Utilities<br />
<strong>The</strong> availability and capacity <strong>of</strong> the<br />
utilities serving the <strong>airport</strong> are factors<br />
in determining the development<br />
potential <strong>of</strong> the <strong>airport</strong> property, as well<br />
as the land immediately adjacent to the<br />
facility.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>airport</strong> is supplied water (looped<br />
water main) and sanitary sewer<br />
services via the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Mesquite</strong>’s<br />
system. Electrical service is provided to<br />
the <strong>airport</strong> by Reliant Energy. SBC<br />
provides communications and data<br />
lines. Natural gas is not currently<br />
supplied to the <strong>airport</strong>.<br />
AIRSPACE INFORMATION<br />
This section <strong>of</strong> the plan identifies<br />
factors influencing air navigation<br />
around and at <strong>Mesquite</strong> Metro Airport.<br />
Consideration <strong>of</strong> these additional<br />
elements, such as area navigational<br />
aids, area airspace classification, and<br />
approved instrument approach<br />
procedures, have a direct impact on<br />
aircraft using <strong>Mesquite</strong> Metro Airport.<br />
Navigational Aids<br />
Navigational aids are electronic devices<br />
that transmit radio frequencies which<br />
pilots <strong>of</strong> properly equipped aircraft can
