RE: flying at an airport
Our club field is just about 2 miles from the end of an active runway, according to the County map. From the time we obtained the field and started preparing it, we established and maintained contact with the operators. We discourage solo flying at the field. We are very adamant (some would, and have, called us annal) that any full sized passenger carrying AC has absolute right of way if it looks like it is going over our field. Yield, or somebody is likely to either turn on a transmitter on your frequency, or take yours out of your hands and dump the plane. Normally landing traffic turns base well away from the field when landing from the East, and most departing aircraft taking off West to East turn away well before getting over our field. Few of us ever go over 400' AGL.
Maybe a couple times a month a larger bizjet or similar will make a shallow approach over the field. So far, in almost 10 years, we've only heard one complaint from a pilot. And he was not a local.
Our relationship with the airport administrator and the FBOs gives us a constant invitation to take part when the airport has an airshow.
