I fly out of Addison a lot. I am also friends with the A&P located at Airpark. A few things to remember when operating out of airpark:

  • The runway is maintained. But, it is not perfectly smooth. Treat it like a soft field.

  • When taxiing anywhere besides the runway, you will be taxiing on turf. Protect your nose wheel.

  • In the daytime watch out for chickens.

  • At night, beware of coyotes.

  • The runway has non-standard markings

  • The runway is a lot shorter than you think due to displaced thresholds at both ends due to buildings, fences, and trees.

  • The runway is aligned with the runway at Addison. You will be on a very similar final and departure leg.

  • Addison is only 3 miles away. You can almost see the Airpark area from the Addison tower.

  • Because of Addison towers Proximity to Airpark, contacting them as soon as practicable means as soon as you start the engine.

    non-standard markings.
