This story on non-towered airports comes from Jetwhine, a blog that began in 2006 as my experiment into what was then a new world of self-publishing. In the 12 years since, Jetwhine has never failed to regularly publish a story about some aspect of the aviation industry that wasn’t available anywhere else. Few other blogs have withstood this test of time.
Non-Tower Advisory Circular Makes a Perfect Spring Tune-up
Key Takeaways:
- Most airports in the United States are non-towered, making safe and proficient operations at these facilities critically important for all pilots.
- The FAA has published a new, concise Advisory Circular 90-66B, "Non-Towered Flight Operations," on March 13, 2018, which replaces older guidance.
- Pilots are strongly urged to read AC 90-66B to refresh their knowledge on operational and communication procedures at non-towered airports, especially when combining various aviation activities like fixed-wing, gliders, or skydiving.
