Arlington, WA Example<br />
Background:<br />
Status:<br />
over 20 years <strong>of</strong> <strong>glider</strong> operations at the Arlington, WA<br />
airport (AWO). Parallel runway operation established<br />
in the grass <strong>area</strong> parallel to the main runway (16-34)<br />
approximately 350 feet centerline to centerline. Two<br />
cross taxiways divide the grass <strong>area</strong> into 3 distinct<br />
sections. The <strong>glider</strong>s are launched from the center <strong>area</strong><br />
and land on the end <strong>area</strong>, depending on the wind<br />
direction. Patterns are opposite from the power traffic.<br />
ADO sent letter to airport declaring <strong>glider</strong> operation "unsafe"<br />
and later suggested moving the operation to the west to meet<br />
the 700 ft issue; result would have been a runway 1500 ft AGL ceilings at current<br />
location. Still in discussion phase.<br />
