    Fly Aware

    TTAD has developed an innovative pilot safety awareness program that addresses the unique challenges of a mountain airport. The program includes hosting regional safety seminars, conducting out-of-area road shows designed to educate pilots before they visit, posting signage around the airport, and hosting the "Ask a Local" program where local pilots staff the UNICOM Operations Center.
