Runway Safety Tip

Things can change dramatically while an airport is under construction.  Heavy construction equipment is often operating near aircraft movement areas. 

After a construction project is completed, the location for the FBO, runway numbering or other airport features may be different from the way you remember them from your last visit.

Always use current airport surface diagrams (available free on the Web at NACO here or AOPA here) and clear communications regarding your location and destination on the airport.
