How will business aviation operations in the New York City area be affected by the Republican National Convention (RNC) at the end of next month in these security-conscious times? That was a headline topic at the May meeting of the Teterboro Users and Operators Association (TUG), which stays on top of issues affecting those who do business at the New Jersey airport.

In addition to the special rules, regulations and restrictions that will apply during the Republican Convention in New York from August 30 through September 2, topics discussed included plans to prepare a white paper detailing how Teterboro Airport serves the community and enhances the economic well being of the area; issues involved with speeding movements at the facility; and an update on plans to build a Ferris wheel within two miles of a runway, which would extend above the glidepath of the VASI.
