Discussion: Lee's Summit Airport Fly Friendly Brochure Update
Background:
The Airport is committed to being a good neighbor. Since 2017, the airport has had a Fly Friendly Program designed to educate pilots and residents on aircraft operations near the airport. To remain effective, the Fly Friendly Program is periodically updated based on the changing environment at the airport and feedback from the community. Recently, the Airport hosted a Lakewood resident meeting regarding noise around the Airport. Based on that meeting and acknowledged growth at the airport, staff felt it was time to update the Fly Friendly Program to better meet the needs of the community and the airport. Significant updates to the Fly Friendly Program are listed below.
1. Improved the layout, reduced the number of paragraphs, shortened text, and added more bullet points for clarity.
2. The map and traffic pattern were updated based new guidelines, and additional residential areas were highlighted that were missed in the previous version.
3. Updated hours of operation and the Napoleon VOR frequency
4. Updated the photos and color scheme
5. Added a section on "Evening Touch and Goes" that includes:
a. No Touch-and-goes between 10:00 pm and 7:00 am
b. Repeated takeoffs and landings between 10:00 PM and 7:00 AM need to be brought to a full stop and taxied back
c. No midfield/intersection departures at any time.
6. Updated the crosswind turn for RWY 18 to 1,500’ or at the hospital, whichever occurs first
7. Updated the crosswind turn for RWY 36 to 1,500’ or Woods Chapel Rd, whichever occurs first
8. Updated the Notes section
