Bob Trumpfheller --- Owner
1. After landing, and if turning on a steep section, turn while there
is still enough speed to complete the turn on the slope or proceed
to the more level section past the hump before turning
3. Run up before take-off on the thicker turf at
the south end of the runway to avoid stones.
4. Start the taxi for take-off at the, less steep, south
end to gain mementum for the steeper section.
2. Park in front of the house or near the top of the runway on the right,
just past the hump, but taxi with caution to avoid ditches and trees.
1. Mountains, hills, steeply rising terrain, trees
2. Besides the semi-tame deer, which just love to hang out on
the runway, the following critters have been seen on the RUNWAY:
cattle, cowboys on horses and driving trucks, elk, wild turkeys, coyotes,
black bears & cubs, domestic cats, bobcats, mountain lions, stray dogs, our
dogs, marmots and other misc. rodents, surveyors, neighbors, hikers, eagles
and other large birds, pilots and their aircraft, the owners, and misc. equipment.
3. Deep snow probable fall through spring and mud possible anytime.
4. The glide slope can be deceiving. Add the normal 3 degree approach angle
to the average 4 degree slope of the runway and the resulting 7 degree angle
makes it look like we need to be lower. Most pilots flying in for the first
time will have to add power in order to make it to the threashold.
5. Go-arounds likely impossible due to rising terrain the the north.
6. DO NOT TAXI IN THE TALL GRASS. That area can be very rough
and can hide obsticles such as tree parts, rocks, ditches, etc.
