Safety Notice for 7A8
PILOTS UNFAMILIAR WITH THE
Runway length 3,000 ft X 60 ft with 120 foot overrun on the South end and 170 foot overrun on the North end. The airport is for daylight VFR ONLY.
Check density altitude as well as weight and balance. Summertime density altitude can exceed 5,500 ft. This greatly reduces aircraft performance. Consult the performance charts for your aircraft and POH before departing. For reference at 85 deg. F the density altitude on the field is 5,000 feet.
The mountain peak to the South reaches 4,500 ft. MSL; the peaks to the east are almost as high.
Operation east of the airport is not recommended due to rising terrain, use a right hand pattern for approach and departure for runway 17.
The runway has a downhill slope toward the South. Unless winds dictate otherwise, land 35 and take off on 17.
Should you use 35 for take off, be aware the valley to the North is rising terrain with sinking air and adverse wind currents. When using 35 for takeoff it is recommended to turn west before crossing the first ridge due to sinking air.
If you ever have a doubt about the direction to land fly a few drafts of the runway. See what works best for you and your plane.
