NORTH LAS VEGAS -- Some major changes could be coming for the North Las Vegas Airport, after a new report laid out all the ways it can improve in the safety department.

The report came just days after a pilot of an experimental aircraft was forced to land in the middle of a busy intersection.

The report makes 13 recommendations on ways to improve operations and make the airport and area neighborhoods safe for both residents and pilots.

NLV Airport is the second busiest airport in Nevada.

“I think the airport is very safe,” said state Rep. Marilyn Kirkpatrick, of District One North Las Vegas.

Kirkpatrick, who represents residents living near the airport, was part of the group that looked into operations.

“It shows that there were very few accidents in the grand scheme of things,” Kirkpatrick said.

Statistics used in the report back up what she said. Between 1999 and 2009, there have been 2.23 million takeoffs and landings. During that time there were 43 accidents, and only three involved experimental aircraft.

“I feel perfectly safe living in this neighborhood,” said Danny Sprenger, who lives near the NLV Airport.

Sprenger not only lives around the corner from Friday's experimental plane crash scene, he is a commercial pilot who's rated on Boeing 737s.

“Any airport you go into in this country, there are going to be problems. That airport has been here for a long time. Just like Chicago's Midway, for example, people have built up around the airport,” Sprenger said.

Making airport operations safer for both area residents and the pilots was a key reason for the report.

“It’s unfortunate that we've had some accidents. There was room to make some changes. All sides agree,” Kirkpatrick said.

The report makes 13 recommendations. The one that should help ease area residents’ concerns, especially when it comes to experimental planes.

“Unless you have 25 hours of experience, you'll be flying out of Jean (Nevada) where there is very little development,” Kirkpatrick said.

Other recommendations include the FAA not granting any waivers on minimum flight test hours for experimental aircraft and periodic unannounced monitoring of flight operations.

Kirkpatrick said the next phase includes the report being studied by NLV city council and more discussion among residents and the airport.

NLV Airport generates about $136 million a year in revenue, and nearly 2,000 people work directly or indirectly at the airfield.
