DEW airport making
last-minute Y2K fixes
GRAPEVINE (AP) — With less than four
months before the end of the year, 20 comput
erized systems at Dallas-Fort Worth Interna
tional Airport, including the control of runway
lights and two-way radios, are not yet protect
ed against the Y2K bug, according to officials.
Over the past two years, the nation’s third-
busiest airport has spent about $8 million to up
date systems to guard against
the Y2K problem.
Yesterday, the airport board
voted to spend another
$300,000 on the runway-lights
system, which directs pilots to
the correct runway for takeoffs
and landings. When the pre
vailing winds change, the
lights must be switched so
planes can take off and land
into the wind.
In a worst-case scenario, of
ficials said, they could still op
erate the lights by hand.
“We’ll be in good shape at
DEW,” Executive Director Jef
frey Fegan said. “Passengers have nothing to
worry about.” *
The airport identified 108 systems that could
be vulnerable to Y2K problems, caused because
some older computers and software identify
years by two digits and assume they always be
gin with “19,” not “20.”
The airport’s chief of computer systems. Bob
Hendricks, said 78 systems are fully fixed and
tested and 30 others, mostly minor ones, are in
some state of repair or testing. Of the latter
group, Hendricks said, the critical ones are run
way lights, two-way radios and the system for
controlling access to high-security areas, which
is installed but not yet in operation.
Hendricks said the radios would still work with
out a fix, although there might be interference or
overlapping conversations.
The security system requires
people to swipe a photo card at
doorways leading to restricted
areas, such as jetways and
ramps. Officials said if the sys
tem were to fail, some doors
would be locked and police offi
cers would be posted at un
locked doors.
The Federal Aviation Admin
istration has jurisdiction over
air-traffic control systems and
security equipment at airports.
Paul Takemoto, an FAA
spokesperson, said the largest
| 150 airports are “ready to go.”
The airlines are responsible for making sure
aircraft are Y2K-capable, he said, and other sys
tems, such as runway lights and radios, are the
responsibility of the airports.
Tom Browne, who directs a Y2K-compliance
project for the Air TVansport Association, which
represents airlines, said about half the airports
still have some computer fixes to make but pre
dicted no problems on New Year’s Day.
“Well be in good
shape at DFW.
Passengers have
nothing to worry
