Airport Visibility Limitations
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Pilots, vehicles, and pedestrians
should be aware it is not possible to see from one end of the runway to the
other and direct radio transmissions from one end to the other may not be
heard. Visibility from take off positions to
mid field may also be restricted.
Prior to take off, pilots should take extra precaution to assure there are
no other aircraft, vehicles, pedestrians, or animals on the runway.

EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY:
This bulletin is a suggested procedure only.

DEPARTING AIRCRAFT: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Taxi to the top of
the midfield for a pre takeoff runway check. This position allows a
visual check for aircraft at both runway ends as well as being able to
observe the entire 3420 ft. length of the runway for other possible hazards.
(Note: The extended taxiways located on the runway centerline at both ends
of the runway are not visible from the midfield location. Accordingly,
aircraft preparing to depart may not be visible from the midfield
position).

This midfield location allows a visual check of all three windsocks and the
wind tetrahedron. It also provides line of sight radio transmission to both
ends of the runway. On 122.90 click the mike three times to receive AWOS
winds and altimeter setting. |
|
|
|
|
|
After checking the runway conditions and determining the wind direction,
from the midfield location, make an initial radio transmission, stating the
intended takeoff runway (RUNWAY 21 IS THE PREFERRED LOW/NO WIND RUNWAY). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is recommended that all run-up and preflight
preparations be completed before making the initial radio call at the
midfield position. This will minimize the time between the initial radio
call and the actual takeoff. |
|
|
|
|
Taxi to the departure runway. Reversing taxi directions
should be completed in the parking ramp areas. AVOID RUNWAY CROSSINGS. |
|
|
|
|
Immediately prior to departure, click the mike four
times and listen for the radio check to verify your transmitter is
functioning. Then announce your departure. |
|
|
|
ARRIVING AIRCRAFT (RECOMMENDED PROCEDURE) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A complete traffic pattern with a
standard entry as defined in the AIM is recommended to be flown by all
arriving aircraft. “Elk Clearing” runs are NOT recommended, but if
flown, should be in the direction of the active runway. Visually check
both ends of the runway for aircraft
Note: The traffic pattern at Mogollon Airpark is east of the
runway. Runway 21 has a left hand traffic pattern and runway 03 has a
right hand traffic pattern.
