Sandy Creek Airpark Community Blog

The airpark management and residents are currently working on a Letter of Agreement (LOA) with Tyndall AFB which would influence operations at the airpark.  The initial LOA from Tyndall seems to insist on communications with Tyndall tower for airpark operations (in flight and on the ground) and suggests landing on runway 27 and departing on runway 09 to avoid Tyndall’s Class D airspace.  As written, it doesn’t address the requirement for airpark operations to communicate on our multicom frequency per the Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs), and sets up a potentially hazardous operation by recommending using a separate runway for landing versus departures. Hopefully these issues can be resolved before it is signed.

Another weather-related update…

Yes, we had more rain here this past Monday night.  Another inch of rain in the old rain gauge.  But since it happened early in the week, everything should dry out enough to allow more flying activities to take place later in the week, including the weekend.  No further rain is in the forecast until at least next Monday or Tuesday.
