Brief Description:
Located in close proximity to Portland International Airport (PDX), Pearson Field (KVUO) operates under a Part 93 Special Flight Rules Area (SFRA), creating unique considerations for both arrivals and departures. This session explains how standardized procedures—aligned with KVUO’s special flight rules—enhance safety and operational efficiency in this complex airspace. Attendees will learn how to locate and interpret the appropriate preflight information, properly brief and execute SFRA procedures, and apply essential local knowledge to confidently operate at one of the nation’s oldest continuously operating airports.
