We were able to have a parralle glider runway built.. 300ft centerline to
centerline.. But this was when the whole runway was built. We have done the 30-45 degree angle off with the gliders and the tow plane pulling onto the pavement for just the hook up. This allows the tow and other gliders to land on the pavement while others are"staging". The key is to "draw a line" that the gliders do not encroach on the paved runway while staging. Jean NV Go to TSA club's web page and take a look at their runway.. and it is a glider only runway. They have a running turn on to line up the staging at mid field. BT wrote in message ups.com... Our glider club has good relations with our home airport. The airport manager is creating a master plan for renovations of runways and taxiways, and is receptive to ideas that will help create smoother operations for mixed power and sailplane traffic. One of the key goals is to minimize the time on runway for sailplane hookups and take-offs. If you have an example of an airport layout that help in this regard (perhaps angled taxiways, pull-offs, etc.), please let us know. --Jay Newell |
