Pilot airspace deviations continue to be a major risk in the national airspace system. To reduce the chance that you might be involved in an airspace deviation incident, you are highly encouraged to take an on-line learning center course on http://www.faasafety.gov/ . Or search the learning library for associated guidance on airspace incursions. Remember, safe and prudent airmen have superior situational awareness and have a plan to keep it that way. Thanks!

As AOPA Calls for Pilots to Rally for GA, Prescott, AZ Leads The Way

Recently, the AOPA has pushed to have pilots rally for general aviation.  Our response to the AOPA on this is, "We have been!  Take a look at what Prescott, Arizona has done!"

The City of Prescott, Arizona and it's airport, the Prescott Municipal Airport (KPRC) have been rallying for general aviation for years now with development of it's online aviation advocacy efforts through FlyPrescott.com. 

Prescott's online aviation advocate boasts a strong internet presence with a Facebook Page with over 1740 members, a statewide electronic news blog ( Arizona Aerospan ), Twitter page, and electronic newsletter and YouTube Channel.  Combined, this online media effort reaches tens of thousands of aviation enthusiasts, pilots and aviation businesses nationwide, with some international exposure as well.

Continuing it's support, the City of Prescott just released it's latest video, "Ernest A. Love Field" (below).  So, if you want to see a great example of a City and an airport rallying and supporting general aviation, take a look at the City of Prescott and FlyPrescott.com.

The Prescott Municipal airport (KPRC) is one of the busiest and most robust airports in the U.S.  Being the home to one of two campuses of the world reknown Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, the Prescott airport is a very unique and busy flight training environment. KPRC is the fourth (4th) busiest general aviation airport in the state of Arizona and is the 40th busiest general aviation airport in the country.

http://www.flyprescott.com/

It is also home to one of the busiest high altitude helicopter flight training facilities in the U.S., Guidance Helicopters, which also just opened a fixed wing training facility, Guidance Aviation.  Combine that with Prescott's North-Aire Aviation  and it's wide variety of aircraft as well as ArizAir Flight Training Center, you know why FlyPrescott refers to it as, "Where Pilots Are Born".

The Prescott Municipal Airport has an annual economic impact of approximately $68 million, providing valuable services beyond flight training to include mail, overnight packages, military support, search and rescue operations and the Forest Service support to name a few.  It is clear the Prescott Municipal Airport is a vital part of the Prescott community and the state of Arizona.

So, if there ever was a City and community that rallies around general aviation, its Prescott, Arizona.

LSA's and "Able Flight Scholarships" Keep Pilots Flying

Foreward by Guy Roginson, FlyPrescott.com

Article / Link: AOPA Online, "Pilots Fly Above Disabilites", by Alton K. Marsh

I have been saying for a couple of years now that our airport needs Light Sport Aircraft (LSA). Not only for the aging population of pilots who may lose their medical but still want to fly, but also for those whose budget is calling for something just a bit less expensive than the standard SkyHawk or Cherokee. What I really didn't anticipate, and I am embarrassed I didn't take this into careful consideration, is how many dreams LSA's could make come true for those with life threatening illnesses and injuries.

Check out these awesome stories and how LSA's and the great organization "Able Flight" are making the dream of flight come true: http://ableflight.org/component/content/article/65.html


Pictured above right is the newest LSA to come to the Prescott Airport.

Slow Day in News calls for Relief

November, 2010 -
As many may be aware, based on tenant supplied information that persons were relieving themselves in the open on the North Ramp by the self service fuel island, the City recently relocated the North Ramp Port-a-John by about 1200 feet to the North from the entrance gate near the self-serve fuel island. Since then we have received several calls about the relocation of the port-a-john. Understanding the hardships of this port-a-john relocation and in an effort to provide superior customer service, the City has ordered another port-a-john to be delivered in the next few weeks. This port-a-john will be placed next to the entrance gate.

Thanks,
Benjamin Vardiman, ACE
