The Continuing Florida Aviation System Planning Process (CFASPP) Statewide Steering Committee elected Flagler Executive Airport Director Roy Sieger as its vice chair during its recent meeting in Orlando. He will serve a two-year term.
“Mr. Sieger’s committee leadership and collaboration with other aviation professionals in the East Central Metro Area and throughout the state has been instrumental in promoting the continued advancement of Florida’s Aviation System,” said CFASPP Administrator, Dan Afghani.
Sieger is chair of the East Central Florida Metropolitan Area CFASPP Steering Committee and has been for about a decade – since 2016. Additionally, he previously served as chair of the CFASPP Statewide Steering Committee from 2017 to 2020.
CFASPP is the state’s collaborative aviation planning framework – designed to ensure Florida’s 129 public-use airports remain safe, efficient, and prepared for future demand. The vice chair’s role is critical in guiding its regional steering committees and aligning local airport priorities with statewide aviation goals.
“Roy’s leadership has consistently elevated Flagler Executive Airport and brought recognition to our county,” said Flagler County Administrator Heidi Petito. “Being elected to vice chair of CFASPP is a testament to his dedication and vision, and we are proud to have him represent the county on this important statewide initiative.”
Sieger brings more than 16 years of leadership to the Flagler Executive Airport. He has extensive statewide experience, including his tenure as Chair of the Florida Airports Council. His background in both military aviation service and airport management has positioned him as a respected voice in the aviation industry.
“I am honored to serve as the vice chair of CFASPP,” said Sieger. “Florida’s airports are vital to our economy and communities. I look forward to working with FDOT, FAA, regional partners, and aviation professionals to ensure we continue building a strong, resilient aviation system.”
As vice chair, Sieger will assist in overseeing the ongoing updates to the Florida Aviation System Plan, evaluating aviation related issues, safety standards, and sustainability initiatives for both local and statewide aviation needs.

“The Continuing Florida Aviation System Planning Process (CFASPP) is a program used in Florida to continually monitor the aviation environment and determine requirements to maintain and develop the aviation system to meet projected demand. This process is a component of the Federal Aviation Administration Airport System Planning Process.” Sounds like putting the fox in charge of the henhouse to me. Or is it deflection? Look folks, a shiny new appointment, award, or recognition! (given by the the very entities that refuse to enforce their own safety guidelines) If ANY of them actually cared about SAFETY, they would not encourage hundreds of daily training overflight operations over our densely populated and noise sensitive city! The truth is, the grant gravy train is tied to the number of operations! Each low, loud, and leaded touch and go training operation counts as 2 operations. What does this mean? Palm Coast residents have been SOLD OUT by Mr. Sieger and Flagler County, and Palm Coast refuses to stand up and protect the safety, health, and welfare of its own residents. This is what happens when those that put profit before public health and safety weasel themselves onto planning boards, councils, commissions, and airport management. Bully behavior, retaliation, and the perpetration of known and potentially harmful activities are NOT to be celebrated. In my experience, those actions are grounds for termination.

Has to stop the greedy influencers in DC and FL over the cruelty and closed eyes and ears to the Palm Coast and other affected nationwide residents pleads for resolution of the abuses of worldwide trainees dangerously practicing over us! What is POTUS doing with our written pleads to him against worldwide training flight schools over our communities? Prayers for him finally hearing the residents pleads and end this dangerous and toxic training over us all. Maybe we are all to go to Pennsylvania Ave. in DC and lobby Congress and Senate to stop this?:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bv6HQveMGtM

It’s more backslapping, WHRE’S THE RADAR FOR THE EXPANSION, handing
out awards and funding to put the safety, health and welfare of citizens of this city/county
is terribly misleading , all the while as our infrastructure crumbles, people dying
on overcrowed poorly planned roads, our flora and flauna compromised for greed
as they flaunt their look at the shiny coin method to brainwash citizens, they should all
fired instead of awarded.

Gina- Exactly! What has $75,000.000 in grant funding, multiple bond debts, and excessive nuisance noise and toxic lead and emissions done for our Quality of Life and Home Values? DESTROYED, DECIMATED, and DEVALUED everything we hold dear. The health of our children, the value of our properties, our rights to the peaceful enjoyment of our homes and PROTECTIONS of our safety, health, and welfare. Maybe we should start PC DDD and siphon some grant funding for noise mitigation, wildlife protection, chemical emission and lead reduction efforts, and a cleanup program for the mess the county has allowed this rogue airport manager to cause with unapproved expansion into our city without ANY transparency or public notice.
