FAASTeam Notice
Type: Local Air Safety Information
Notice Date: Wednesday, September 17, 2014
Notice Number: NOTC5521
Alaska Terminal District ODO terminated
This notice expired on

The Alaska Terminal District has terminated opposite direction operations (ODO) at most Alaskan tower-controlled airports.  The only exceptions to this guidance are emergencies, operational necessity, and medical evacuation flights (MEDEVAC).  The affected airports are Bethel, King Salmon, Kenai, Lake Hood, Merrill Field, and Juneau Airports.

 

This is an interim measure until all affected facilities can accomplish a thorough review and revise operating procedures as necessary.  The new procedures will include VFR operations as they relate to opposite direction operations.

 

We understand these procedures may have an economic impact to some of our users and we are committed to resolving this as quickly as possible.

 

If you have any further questions, please contact David Chilson, Support Manager, Alaska Terminal District at 907-271-2703 or email david.chilson@faa.gov.
