[NSRCA-discussion] New Field lay out Advice

Thu Mar 15 08:01:29 AKDT 2007

That issues may be trued if only catering to experienced /competent, pilots but if field is also being used by inexperienced and pilots just learning then wind direction is a big issue IMHO.

  I would definitely lay it out facing north rather than worrying about the wind.   Much easier to deal with a  crosswind occasionally than it is not be able to fly part of a day because of the sun.

  What direction is the prevailing wind in relation to runway orientation?

    In the process of laying out a field for Pattern and IMAC, along with normal flying. I attached a crude drawing in paint. What do you guys think? Any improvements? The runway paralles an access road that is dirt and is only used for driving around the property during the week and not much then. Over flight area is about 300 acres and the nearest house is about ½ mile out center and none on either end. The field faces almost due north so sun will not be a problem. I proposed a 80x600 runway of smooth grass with somewhat smooth over runs.
