[NSRCA-discussion] New Field lay out Advice

[twtaylor]

I want the sun out of the way. I could care less about the wind as it
changes daily. If the wind gets over 10 mph they don’t fly anyway. :-)

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.
