Aerodrome / Area Hazards. Pilots shall be aware of the following hazards on the aerodrome and in the local flying area:
a. HAZARD 1; Some sections of the adjacent grass area is composed of sand and can be quite soft.
b. HAZARD 2; The proximity to mountains can cause strong areas of lift and sink.
c. HAZARD 3; Model Airplane Club d. HAZARD 4; PAPI Lights
Aerodrome / Area Hazards. Pilots shall be aware of the following hazards on the aerodrome and in the local flying area:
a. HAZARD 1; Runway lights. When landing on the paved runway the distance between the runway lights is 66 feet. A waiver to C-CR-CCP- 242/PT-005 has been granted by 2 Cdn Air Div for this non- conformance with established glider airfield criteria (copy attached).
b. HAZARD 2; Irrigation sprinklers. The airfield is irrigated with reclaimed water. Coordination with the Town of Xxxxxx is required to have the irrigation turned off for the scheduled gliding weekends.
c. HAZARD 3; Sloping terrain. Southbound departures take off into rising terrain.
Aerodrome / Area Hazards. Pilots shall be aware of the following hazards on the aerodrome and in the local flying area:
a. HAZARD 1; A combination of lake effect and the air drainage to and from the northern Okanagan Valley can create convergence over the airport. It’s very common to have all three windsocks pointing different directions.
b. HAZARD 2; Proximity to the lake and the local topography can lend itself to strong convective scenarios occasionally over developing into isolated showers in the afternoon.
c. HAZARD 3; The alternate landing lane is undulating and on soft ground.
d. HAZARD 4; The Salmon Arm airport has frequent helicopter traffic. Due consideration shall be made when manoeuvring and staging gliders and tow aircraft on the ramp in order to provide safe ground handing and or tie downs of the aircraft from helicopter down wash.
e. HAZARD 5; A deep gully approximately 60 feet east and parallel to the runway.
f. HAZARD 6; PAPI lights approximately 30 feet west of the runway and 550 feet north of the runway 32 threshold.
g. HAZARD 7; Windsock located approximately 120 feet west of the runway and 1000 feet north of the runway 32 threshold.
h. HAZARD 8; Runway lights located approximately 5 feet outside the runway edges extend approximately 18” above the surface.
i. HAZARD 9; Wind tetrahedron located mid-field approximately 160 feet west of the runway.
j. HAZARD 10; Signs north and south of both taxiway A and B located between 37 and 85 feet west of the runway.
k. HAZARD 11; Parachute activity and training ops with landings primarily to the infield, but may occasionally land anywhere on the aerodrome. To be removed for glider ops Wind Sock PAPI Lights Signs Gully Wind Tetrahedron Signs To be removed for glider ops
Aerodrome / Area Hazards. Pilots shall be aware of the following hazards on the aerodrome and depicted in Figure 2:
a. HAZARD 1: A deep gully located approximately 200 feet west of the runway edge between the taxiways;
b. HAZARD 2: An elevated roadway from the apron to the weather vane mast in the gully between the taxiways;
c. HAZARD 3: Signs adjacent to the west edge of the runway between the taxiways;
d. HAZARD 4: PAPI lights located on the left side of each runway approximately 1200 ft from the runway 16 threshold, and 1600 ft from the runway 34 threshold;
e. HAZARD 5: ILS Building and antennae located 1000 ft south of the runway 16 threshold, and 200 ft east of the edge; and
f. HAZARD 6: Perimeter fence located 400 ft east of the runway edge.
Aerodrome / Area Hazards. Pilots shall be aware of the following hazards on the aerodrome and in the local flying area:
a. HAZARD 1; Chain link fence, berm and roadway to driving complex aligned north/south 230 feet west of the threshold of Runway 08L;
b. HAZARD 2; A berm aligned north/south about 100 feet north of the mid-point of taxiway F;
c. HAZARD 3; A drainage ditch on the west side of the road from the north adjoining taxiway F, and extending westward for approximately 500 feet, parallel to and 30 feet north of taxiway F;
d. HAZARD 4; A windsock located 400 feet south west of the Runway 18/36 R intersection; and
e. HAZARD 5; Parachute landing area on the grass located south the approach to Runway 26R and west of Runway 18.
Aerodrome / Area Hazards. Pilots shall be aware of the following hazards on the aerodrome. Most of these hazards are depicted in Figure 2:
a. Wind Anemometer tower - located west of the primary grass landing strip, adjacent to Taxiway Alpha, approximately mid length;
b. PAPI Lights - located east of the secondary grass landing area, adjacent to the main runway, approximately 1500 feet south of Taxiway Bravo;
c. Ditch – bisecting / crossing the secondary grass landing area, in close proximity to the PAPI lights;
d. Taxi/Runway signage – at various locations outside the perimeter of the glider operating area;
e. ILS Antenna Array & Building – located approximately 500 feet south of the threshold of the paved surface of Runway 34; and
f. Airport perimeter fence and highway.
