Hi everyone,
I would like to get your input in regards to P80 requesting additional airspace south of DUBMY. As the new UAO Tower prepares to debut around the first part of April, we need to look at the possibility of an airspace redesign (if needed), LOA changes to UAO traffic into and out of the UAO airport, safety concerns, etc.
If you haven't had a chance to check your email, I attached an airspace proposal from P80 to give you an idea as to what they are looking for. Regardless of the Article 48 work group outcome, I believe that an SRM (Safety Risk Management) process may have to be completed.
I'm hoping that by posting this, you all can help create a blog so that we can look at all the different possibilities that the area can see, and we can take that information and justify the safety issues (pros and cons) that will help with our decision when we meet with P80.
Reminder: Please keep this blog professional. No derogatory comments and be respectful of others. This is OUR area and I want what is best for US given the situation we were dealt. Again, the meeting with P80 will take place next week (1-14-15).
Things to take into consideration are: Safety, traffic into/out of UAO, left/right downwinds for RWY 35 at UAO, P80 LOA changes that may have to be created, MMV airspace (P80 wants FL060 and below full time), impact to the B-Area, SLE traffic departing/arriving, vectoring for the ILS/BC, SLE 3 SID, and possibility of giving up airspace to P80 down to EUG FL090 and below encompassing all of SLE. These are just a few...
Here we go...Who wants to be first to comment!!
