Experimentals To Be Banned To Rural Airports?

Tom.. may I asked where you moved it to?
Because if you picked 0L7 and CCDoA gets their way.. that airport will be
closed in 2017.

They (CCDoA) won't tell you it will be closed, they are not allowing further
development at the airport, but this is where RandyW wants experimentals to
go. There are no hangers, there are no maint facilities, they are allowing
cracks in the ramp and runways to develop. The legislative language that got
them the BLM land for their new airport says that 0L7 will remain open "as
long as it is feasibly safe".

If they get their way and the new IVP airport opens, say hello to expansion
of the current ClassB, or at least a Class C, and the 0L7 airport will be
within the Class D radius of the IVP operations, so you'll need clearance
from a remote tower to get in and out. Oh.. another thing.. the FAF for the
approach into IVP will be just about where the downwind is for 20R.

Also, CCDoA is making no noise about closing 0L7, and they are making no
noise about developing another "Sport Aviation" facility to take it's place.

I just moved my Cherokee from VGT not because of safety, but because this
guy is well known to hate GA. All he wants there are small jet ops. VGT is
enough of a PIA because of McCarran's and Nellis Class B then throw in VGT
class D. Now you have this guy who hates GA and the clueless people who
were sold a bill of goods by developers that encroached on an airport
that's been there since WW II and we have one melting ball of wax.

All but one Grand Canyon tour operator has been pushed out of VGT. Mercy
Air has no bases there only maintenance. Two fixed wing air ambulances
were pushed to McCarran and Henderson,

All this guy needed was an excuse. Now he has a Velocity into one house
and a certified twin into another.

It's going to get ugly.
