SUGGEST POSSIBLE WARNING PAGE (SIMILAR TO
HOUSTON HOBBY) TO CLARIFY MULTIPLE RWY ENDS.
What does this mean? Where would the page go? What would it say?
Jose
The first page of their Jep binders? In bold letters on any/all SIDs for
KLEX?
"NOTICE TO CREW OPERATING OUT OF KLEX, Lexington, Kentucky"
CLOSE PROXIMITY OF RWY 22 and RWY 26
As the departure ends of RWY 22 and RWY 26 are in very close proximity to
each other, exercise extreme caution and confirm visually and by reference
to flight instruments that you are on RWY 22. RWY 26 UNUSABLE for turbine
aircraft use.
Why should Rwy 26 be unusable for turbine aircraft? It is 3,500 feet long and
plenty long. Geez if you're going to ban turbines from 3,500 ft runways, the
Citations using my home airport would have to go elsewhere because 3,500 is
the longest runway. How about just banning aircraft from using the runway if
they need a longer one? Wait, I think that's already covered somewhere.....
Pavement weight restrictions.
