The FAA recently opened a new Atlanta Flight Operations Facility at Cobb County International Airport in Kennesaw, Georgia. The modern facility serves as the headquarters for the region’s space- and ground-based instrument flight procedures inspection operations and their aircraft.

 


Included in the 32,050-sq-ft facility is a 23,100-sq-ft hangar that accommodates six specially-equipped Beechcraft King Air 300 twin turboprops. The site also contains shop space for aircraft maintenance and repair, and administrative space for 26 FAA employees.

 


The Atlanta Flight Operations Facility is part of the FAA’s Flight Program Operations service unit in the Air Traffic Organization. This program consolidates all of the agency’s aircraft and personnel into a single organization responsible for all aspects of flight program safety, administration, operations, training, and maintenance.

 


Other Flight Program Operations facilities are located at Anchorage, Alaska; Atlantic City, New Jersey; Battle Creek, Michigan; Fort Worth, Texas; Oklahoma City; Sacramento, California; and Washington, D.C.
