Ames, IA

We often use grass infields for landing to avoid power traffic. We use
the same traffic pattern direction. We have to launch on the runway
though, a lot of our training in spring checkouts, flight reviews, etc.
is on minimizing time on the runway. Incursions are getting better,
the airport is home to many business jet operations and we dont want to
make them go around.


occasionally, all hell breaks lose

Can anyone identify an airport where gliders and powered aircraft use
the same runway? Do they use opposite traffic patterns? Any other
operational issues?
