Traffic Pattern Map (pdf) 431KB

 

Avoid overflight of noise sensitive areas

 

Practice IFR approaches during visual meteorological conditions.

 

Follow published missed approach procedures

 

Fly airport traffic pattern rectangle as outlined in the AIM and Arlington air traffic pattern maps.

 

Gliders

 

Traffic pattern east of airport.

 

Glider and tow plane designated turf runways are located parallel and adjacent to eastern taxiway for Runway 16/34 (taxiway Alpha).

 

Tow planes and gliders allowed midfield takeoffs on turf glider runway.

 

After glider release, tow planes enter traffic pattern for small propeller aircraft.

 

Tow planes land on designated asphalt or turf runways.

 

Ultralights

 

Enter and exit traffic pattern as shown on map at or below 400’ AGL (537’ MSL).

 

Turf Runway is located parallel to and just North of closed runway.

 

Traffic Pattern is typical rectangular configuration as described in AIM and is located over the closed runway and Ultralight Park.

 

Ultralights departing to the northwest maintain 400’ AGL until West of I-5.

 

Rotary Wing Aircraft

Civilian Helicopters

 

Approach and depart the Airport at 637’ MSL

 

Avoid flying over residential areas at low altitude

 

Announce position and intention on radio

 

Avoid all aircraft

 

Large Propeller, Turboprop and Jet Aircraft

Use RWY 16/34

 

Approaches

 

Standard National Business Aircraft Association (NBAA) noise abatement procedures should be used

 

Practice IFR approaches during visual meteorological conditions

 

Follow Published missed approach procedures

 

VFR Approaches

 

Fly final at or above Precision Approach Path Indicator (PAPI)

 

Follow published approach procedures

 

Departures (IFR & VFR)           

 

No intersection takeoffs

 

Standard NBAA noise abatement procedures

 

Runway 34 – Avoid turning before reaching the ridgeline north of the airport

 

Small Propeller Aircraft

(single & twin engine under 12,500 lbs)

 

Departures, go-arounds & touch and goes

 

No intersection takeoffs

 

Caution ultralight operations below 537’ MSL west-northwest of Runway 16/34

 

Fly airport traffic pattern rectangle as outlined in the AIM and Arlington air traffic pattern maps

 

Runway 34

 

Maintain runway heading until north of ridgeline

 

Runway 16

 

Maintain 1200’ MSL altitude during departure from airport traffic pattern

 

Approaches (all runways)

 

Maintain the highest elevation practical while on final approach

 

Intercept and fly at or above the PAPI

 

Practice IFR approaches during visual meteorological conditions

 

Follow published missed approach procedures
