Proper planning and equipment can improve your airfield painting plans.
ST. LOUIS Downtown Airport (CPS) in Cahokia, Ill.,
repainted all its runway intersections for a new
enhanced centerline painting scheme in 2019. All
surface painted signs were obliterated and replaced,
and two intersections were completely relocated
away from the runway, requiring more obliteration
and painting.
The project was planned with the
Illinois Department of Transportation
(IDOT) for state funding to bring all the
markings current with Advisory Circular
150/5340-1M
Specif ically, the airport had to
address the size and dimensions of
surface painted signs, which are different
depending on the width of the taxiway;
the requirements for the number of
surface painted signs per intersection; and
the ref lective beads that are embedded
in the paint.
The project was bid with professional
painters because existing paint proved
difficult for the airport staff to remove
This approach saved time and allowed for
the project to be completed faster.
"We value the col laborative
partnership with IDOT and the FAA

enterprises for Bi-State Development,
which owns and operates St. Louis
Downtown Airport.
Big Changes in Painting
Airfield marking standards have changed
drastically in the past year. The FAA
implemented a minimum ref lectivity
standard in December 2018 and in May,
it released a set of rules that included
language saying how workers involved
in airfield markings should be trained.
