Airport Plan 2002
A Look Back at the 2002 Airport Development Plan
The purpose of the Airport Layout Plan (ALP) for Montgomery County Airpark is to provide the Montgomery County Revenue Authority (MCRA) with useful, understandable information and guidance to develop and maintain a safe and efficient airport. It also provides the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Maryland Aviation Administration (MAA) with information concerning the planned development at Montgomery County Airpark. The project was financed jointly by the FAA, MAA and MCRA. The inventory chapter of this report provides information pertaining to the airport history and description of existing airport facilities, is based on conditions as they existed in March 2001.
Fly Friendly Practices
Pilots are strongly encouraged to go beyond the regulatory minimum. These three practices make the biggest difference for neighboring residents.
Prompt Climb After Takeoff
Reaching pattern altitude quickly shortens the period of high-power engine noise over nearby homes.
Fly the Published Pattern
Correct altitudes, turn points, and headings keep traffic away from the densest residential areas.
Limit Repeated Overflights
Route touch-and-go sequences away from schools and neighborhoods whenever conditions allow.
