Runway Repairs

Opportunities Abound

What an exciting time to be a pilot! The airlines have re-initiated hiring as witnessed by a large number of our instructors moving on to other aviation adventures.

Pilot opportunities are “across-the-board” from flight instructing, charter, cargo, corporate and the airlines. If you haven’t already started, now is the time to re-initiate that aviation career dream of yours!

Auburn Municipal (S50)

Auburn Approach

Now in our sixth year of pushing for an IFR—GPS approach, the approval is in sight. The Airport has been assigned it’s own frequency which will communicates to the ARTCC and then relay on to Seattle Approach.

Next step is a to have an "obstruction survey" conducted.

The Approach/Departure frequency and approach should be published by May of 2007.

Runway Repairs

Completed now are repairs is the 300 feet of runway which has settled over the years. This area was removed and the sub area built up so the runway does not sink again. The runway received a complete overlay and two hold aprons constructed on the northeast connector.

The FAA is requiring edge drains be installed the full length of the runway edges. This is to help “pull” water away from the asphalt extending it’s life and subsurface. The main challenge was the usable length of the runway and the amount of time the runway was closed.

The airport’s runway project was funded by FAA grants and the City has applied to the State for participation through their grant programs as well.

Go Flying Program Overview

The goal of the GO Flying Program is to combine the pride of ownership with the efficiencies of shared cost.

In support of the program, Auburn Flight Service facilitates the operation of limited liability corporations owned by the members for the purpose of providing aircraft for personal or business use. Aircraft currently in the program include a Piper Turbo Arrow and a Piper Warrior.

Auburn Flight Service is continually looking for new aircraft and new aircraft owners interested in group ownership.

A typical aircraft, owned by the individuals in the program, flies for $45 per hour and about $100 per month. The flight charge covers the expense of operation and maintenance and the monthly charge covers fixed costs such as hanger and insurance.

Purchasing an aircraft is made simple. As an example, a 1/6th share costs $10,000, add to that the refundable security deposit of $1,000 and you can be an owner of a $60,000 airplane for less than most people spend on a second car.

Interested? Contact AFS at 253-854-4960 for more details.
