Access to Float Plane Dock.

Airpark Winter Operations

The Flight Supplement states 'NO winter maintenance'. So in case of snow/ice on the airfield, do not expect any clearing to be undertaken. We also do not publish Notams unless it gets really bad or will appear to close the field for extended periods. Please check runway conditions before flight, if in doubt.

Bottom line: Use at your own risk!


Caution! Helicopter Operations & Rotorwash/Downwash

We have two helos based at our field and often have heavier aircraft such as S76 as visitors. The dangers to light aircraft from flying through rotor wash or from downwash are well established.

Watch the video below to see the result of a pilot encountering the wake turbulence caused by a UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter at 27 seconds into the video...
