Public Notice: Training Exercise Scheduled for September 10 at Manhattan Regional Airport
Manhattan Regional Airport will conduct a full-scale Airport Emergency Plan training exercise on Thursday, September 10, beginning at 9:00 a.m. The exercise will continue until all training objectives are completed and is expected to take two hours.
Residents and motorists may see emergency vehicles and responders in and around the airport area during the exercise. This is a planned training event, and there is no emergency.
The exercise will take place inside the airport perimeter, primarily in the western portion of the airport. It will not affect public, private or commercial flight operations.
To support the training scenario, responders will use an aircraft fuselage, mannequins and role players. Riley County Emergency Management will place informational signs along Skyway Drive and Wildcat Creek Road, and Manhattan Regional Airport will share advance notice on social media.
The Federal Aviation Administration requires airports to conduct a full-scale emergency exercise every three years. The training helps local agencies practice coordinated response procedures.
