The action provides facilities at the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado so that the T-41 (light reciprocating type, single-engine aircraft) trainers used for Cadet pilot indoctrination can be relocated from Peterson Field in Colorado Springs to the Academy Airstrip. The current staging of the T-41 training program from Peterson Field causes intermixing of light trainer plane operations with heavy aircraft operations generated by Air Force activities on the east side of Peterson and Colorado Springs Municipal Field activities on the west side. A hazardous condition is created for student pilots, as well as for the regularly scheduled airlines, military jet aircraft and general aviation, all of which contribute to high density mixed traffic at Peterson. Summary of Environmental Impact and Adverse Environmental Effects: Both Peterson Field and the USAF Academy Airstrip are located in El Paso County. It is not anticipated that these improvements will result in changes to or cause any significant impact upon existing human or natural environmental conditions.
