HIGH RIVER REGIONAL AIRPORT – CEN4

NEWS LETTER

APRIL 2010

 

 

Welcome

We would like to introduce you to the first High River Regional Airport (HRRA) newsletter.  We will be issuing an updated newsletter on a monthly basis and hope to have you peruse each monthÕs edition.  As this newsletter evolves and grows, we are constantly eager to hear responses from readers and welcome any outside contributions.

 

As spring arrives, more people will want to go flying.  With this in mind we must be in top form both in the air and on the ground.

 

 

History

 

The High River Regional Airport is a not-for-profit corporation, wholly owned by the town of High River and the municipal district of Foothills.  The High River airport is located approximately 2.5 km south of the Town of High River on highway 2A, 30 minutes from the southern outskirts of Calgary.  The airport was previously operated by the Province of Alberta prior to the town and municipality taking ownership in 1999 and was incorporated into the HRRAL in 2003.  The present Board of Directors was appointed in 2009.  It is the desire of the present board, township and municipal district to see the airport grow into a sustainable and contributing element of the community and local area through fiscal, environmental responsibility and continuing support of the neighboring community.  Currently the airport is servicing commercial and private aviation with maintenance and flight training services.

IN AND AROUND THE AIRPORT

 

Programs and Proposals

 

Airport Programs

 

Some things the airport is in the process of doing, considering to be done or recently completed are:

 

Runway 06/24 Extension:

The extension of the main runway is still in progress and is expected to be complete in the summer of 2010.

Development of taxiways:

Extensions to the private hanger area taxiways are being carried out on Òas-requiredÓ basis.  Future taxiways would include a parallel taxiway for runway 06/24.

GPS Approach:

An application for a GPS approach to runways 06 and 24 were issued last year.  It is hoped that approval will be had later this year.

Live internet weather and radio broadcast:

Airport weather conditions can be obtained via the airport website (www.flyhighriver.ca).  Radio access (AWOS) from the air is in its final stages of testing.  This is an advisory only and the pilot will still be responsible for verifying the stated conditions prior to landing or taking off.

 

As a growing airport, we welcome ideas on what can be done around the airport to increase its appeal, efficiency and sustainability.

 

 

Proposals

Dumpster Program

 

The High River Airport is looking for feedback for the implementation of a spring garbage dumpster program.  It is proposed that for a small nominal contribution from aircraft owners and lease holders, a dumpster would be brought in to allow for spring clean-up.  During a specified time, all could dump their aviation garbage and have it hauled away.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

From the Flight School

 

The High River Regional Airport would like to welcome these people to the aviation community and congratulate them on their achievement.

Airport Etiquette

 

As the High River Regional Airport grows and its use increases, proper etiquette and courtesy become more vital in keeping the airport operating smoothly.  If we follow some simple rules, we can eliminate many conflicts between users.  You may get delayed a bit, but never more than maybe 5 minutes.  Some things to remember:

 

-        In and around the airport, always acknowledge anyone with a friendly greeting or wave.

-        In the private hanger area, complete your walk around in the hanger, pulling your aircraft out only when you are ready to leave.  This will keep the time you are blocking the taxiway to a minimum.  If you see someone coming or waiting, when you are outside your airplane, consider pushing it back out of the way to allow the running airplane to pass.  If you are in your airplane expedite your start and taxi to the ramp to complete your run-up.  If you are taxiing in, pull past the ÒTÓ to allow the other airplane to pass.

Before taxiing into or out of the private hanger area, give a quick call on 123.0 to announce that youÕre coming (the obtaining of a ground operating frequency is being investigated).  This way the pilots can come to a quick agreement on who will move first.  If you have not started you airplane yet, let anyone in and clear the way if possible.

 

When passing the person giving way, acknowledge his or her courtesy with a friendly wave.

 

-        Run-up should be carried out at the east end of the ramp with your airplane prop wash directed away from any aircraft and structures.

-        When ready to leave, announce your intentions prior to entering the taxiway and if someone is on final, consider waiting until they come onto the ramp.  This ensures room for all sizes of aircraft to pass without conflict.  Please note that in the CFS it is noted that the runway environment at the High River airport can only be occupied by one aircraft at a time including the turnaround bay at the end of 06.  (Unless prior formation departure or landing has been agreed upon between pilots).

-        At the gas pumps, once finished, please push your airplane clear as there may be someone else wanting to fuel their airplane, even if you think you will be there only five more minutes.

-        As always, if you damage or break something, please let someone or the owner know.  Accidents happen.

-        Gate access.  Please ensure the gates are closed after you, especially at night when there is little to no traffic.  And if you disconnect the drive to the gate (this should never be done) make sure you re-engage it.

-        Finally, Enjoy your flying.
