- Wednesday Sept 10th is next meeting, 0930 at the Scottsdale FSDO.
- Issues:
o Runway Closures @ KFFZ over next 60 days, recommend offloading training operations elsewhere. Will upload letter to airmen to website.
o Recommend reminding pilots to stick to common reporting points on the AFTW Map. Hearing things like Chrome Peak which are not printed.
o Night-time approaches over KFFZ – use North side traffic pattern as published in AF/D.
o Helicopters – Perhaps causing noise issues?
- Airspace
o Need more places to do Precision Approaches.
- Luke is open to them, but not published.
- ATP uses TUS LUK and IWA, as CGZ is a beehive.
- Other Issues
o Coolidge AWOS out of service?
- Report to FSS
o Stack at ROCQO?
- Publish?
- Be on CTAF when practicing
- AFTW Copperstate presence?
o If interested in presenting something let AFTW know. Will visit this in Sept Meeting.
o Maybe Catcus fly in too.
- AFTW may need to do outreach again to remote areas
o Phone conferencing may be helpful
- Superbowl
o 30 NM Presidential-like TFR over PHX metro area.
o Safety Standdown – It may be helpful to use the time during the TFR to do a Safety Conference
o There is the Probowl, Golf Tournament, and then Superbowl all in 1 week time frame, leading to lots of Arrival/Departures
- There was mention of data collection for a project called Azias… though I am not privy to the details other than it is for 40 NM.
Thanks to Ed Chauza for putting these minutes together!
