A. There is established at the Airport a preferential Runway system for the taking off of all Aircraft. Subject to Runway closures, weather conditions, and emergencies, Aircraft shall take off to the northwest on Runway 33. Departures from Runway 15 are permitted only with written authorization of the Director of Aviation, and must be consistent with the Director of Aviation’s criteria for approval of take-off on Runway 15 as published by the Director.
B. The take-off of an Aircraft shall begin at any point on the Runway as instructed by the control tower.
C. There is established at the Airport a preferential Runway system for the landing of all Aircraft. Subject to Runway closures, weather conditions, and emergencies, Aircraft shall land on Runway 15.
D. Landing Aircraft shall clear the Runway as soon as practical after landing, consistent with safe operating procedures.
E. No landing or takeoff shall be made except as authorized by the control tower. When the tower is closed, Aircraft must make announcements in the manner prescribed by the FAA for Aircraft operations at an uncontrolled airport. This requirement is not intended to permit Aircraft operations when the Airport is closed, except as may be authorized in accordance with Sections 10.12.030, 10.12.060 or 10.12.070.
F. Aircraft making a “low pass” by the control tower for visual inspection shall be directed by the control tower consistent with keeping Aircraft away from populated areas.
G. No Aircraft, except helicopters which shall land on helipads, or as otherwise instructed by the control tower, shall take off or land on Taxiways or any paved or unpaved area other than designated Runways except by specific authority of the control tower in an emergency.
H. No Aircraft shall be taxied, takeoff begun, or landing be made, without information or clearance from the control tower, except in case of emergency. The foregoing may be modified for authorized Aircraft operations upon the Aircraft when the control tower shall be closed. (§10.12.040 repealed reenacted Ord. 028-05)
