I see similar entries in my logs.  I do not know what they mean other than the 
user is being deauthenticated  possibly because it has hit some timeout.
 
802.1x or WPA auth?  There are a lot of different options in play depending on 
the security.  What is your 802.1x reauth set at?  What is your re-key interval?
 
Did the client fall asleep or did some other energy saving mechanism kick in 
between 17:01:02 and 17:04:51?

What model of MBA?  What OS?  Patched?  There are many known issues with 
various versions of Mac OS.

So only this one person so far. No one else has reported it. It seems to happen 
to him once a week but I can never replicate it. 

If those looks normal I think its a local client issue on his Mac air.

Hi Aaron, 
Those messages look ok, just standard deassosiations.
Do you have any particular issues with client(s)?

Hello everyone, 
I was hoping someone could give me a quick insight on these specific messages i 
see inside /tmp/ap.log on my wireless APS. I can open a support case but didnt 
want to bother unless there is something wrong. 
It would seem this is a client issue but I wanted to make sure. 

I had a user get disconnected from the wifi and could get back on for about a 
minute. Here are the only logs I see relevant to the disconnect.
