Title:
Glendale Regional Airport Pilot/Controller Forum
Topic:
Pilot and Controller Forum to Discuss Airfield Changes Impacting Operations.
Speaker(s):
Jeffory Favot, Matthew Smith, Cary Grant
Brief Description:
There have been a number of changes to the runways, taxiways, and increasing construction on the airfield impacting aircraft operations in Glendale's airspace. Both pilots and controllers are dealing with these changes in daily operations. If you have questions about why the controllers take the actions they do, this is your opportunity to learn why. Glendale and all the airports in the valley are very busy locations for student training in both light-sport and traditional training aircraft and it is seeing an increase level of business jet traffic. The controllers must balance all this in time critical situations. The airport manager will also be available to discuss plans for the airport and general operations philosophy. You can expect the event to last about two hours.
