Figure 2a, above, represents a typical Summer flow during good
visual conditions and
when prevailing winds are from the west or southwest. Landings
occur on Runways 24 and 30, while departures occur from Runway 24.
Most single engine aircraft and some Cessna 402 air taxis will land on
Runway 30, while higher performance aircraft (twin propeller, turboprop
and jet aircraft) will land on Runway 24.
Neighborhoods affected by this configuration would be:
Arrivals
to Runway 24 and 30
Quidnet and Squam on the eastern shoreline will generally
see higher performance aircraft (twin jets and turboprops) making a
straight-in approach to Runway 24.
Harbor South Area near Folger's Marsh will see arriving traffic
(twin prop air taxis and other light twins) to Runways 24 and 30.
Tom Nevers and Madequecham will see some over-flights of
air taxi and single engine aircraft in the arrival pattern for runway
30.
Departures from Runway 24
About 75 - 80 percent of departing traffic will follow the
visual 1-mile off-shore noise abatement route paralleling the south
shore to Smith's Point. Other departing traffic on instrument
flight plans, under positive control of the FAA, will be directed to
turn northbound crossing the Island at around 2000 feet altitude in the vicinity
of Miacomet Pond and Hummock Pond on the South Shore to
Dionis on the North Shore. Aircraft with
destinations to the southwest will depart off-shore and remain
over-water.
