PRIVATE OPERATING PROCEDURES

Flying Operations
Current Federal Aviation Regulations and Advisory Circulars adequately govern and regulate the flying operation for Stoney Point. The portion termed "flying operation" is applicable from the time the pilot advances the throttle on the runway for take-off with intention of flight to the end of the landing, turning off the runway. All aspects of flight and any violation of these rules are administered by FAA.

Radio Procedures -- All radio equipped Aircraft shall use the radio procedures recommended for non-towered airports in the Airman's Information Manual on the CTAF frequency 123.0 MHZ. Non-radio equipped Aircraft are strongly encouraged to use a hand held radio while operating in the pattern. All pilots must use caution and be alert for ultra light, hang gliding and other no-radio operations.

Runway -- Runway 15/33 is 2400' long, grass.

Obstructions -- 50' trees are located approximately 50' off the departure end of runway 15.

Hazards -- Deer in vicinity. Vehicle traffic on the roadway around the runway.

Parking -- All planes left outside of hangars must be tied down (6.32). No motor vehicle shall at any time be parked on any of the taxiways or the runway (6.36). No Aircraft shall improperly or unnecessarily block or impede the runway.

Taxiing -- Aircraft shall taxi at a reasonable and prudent speed commensurate with the condition and congestion on the airfield. Since the center of the runway gets the heaviest use, to the extent possible, taxiing along the edges of the runway will help save the grass.

Run-up -- Aircraft shall be run-up only at ends of runway 15/33 or on individual lots. Maintenance run-ups are discouraged after 8pm.

Wet runway -- It may take as long as 48-72 hours for the runway to properly drain and thoroughly dry out after a heavy or extended rain period. Pilots are cautioned to evaluate their aircraft's suitability to operate safely under soft field conditions and to prevent rutting and other damage to the runway.

Take-off & Departure

The field elevation is 1145'. Advisory information in flight may be received from PDK ATIS 128.4 or McCollum AWOS 128.12. Reception may not be possible on the ground.

Preferred Runway -- For reasons of safety and noise abatement (to minimize noise over residential areas), with winds of less than 5mph, the recommended runway for takeoff is runway 33, and the recommended runway for landing is runway 15. A left turn out departure from runway 33 will minimize conflict with landing traffic. However, the Pilot In Command, considering all factors for the safe conduct of his flight, is the final authority on which runway to use.

Radio procedures -- The pilot should listen for other traffic in the pattern and announce his position on the airfield and his intentios. Visually scan for any traffic prior to entering the runway and before takeoff.

Noise Abatement -- Pilots are strongly encouraged to avoid noise sensitive areas and, if practical and safe, pilots shall use noise abatement procedures whenever possible.

Simulated Emergencies -- Power reductions, simulated departures and landing emergencies are strongly discouraged.

Pattern Operations

Traffic Pattern -- All aircraft shall fly a standard left-hand close-in traffic pattern at 2000 feet

Approach and Landing

All landings shall be conducted in accordance with the pattern entry procedures described in the Airman's Information Manual. In the interest of safety, straight-in landings are strongly discouraged.

Non-Aircraft Access to Runway

Vehicles -- No vehicles, except maintenance equipment, including but not limited to trucks, tractors, automobiles, motorcycles, golf carts, ATVs and bicycles, are to enter the runway right of way at any time

Pedestrians -- Pedestrians crossing the runway are advised to use extreme care and vigilance.

Control -- The Association reserves the right to control (through the establishment of reasonable rules and regulations) the use of all runways, common grounds, recreational areas and private roads and the Common Areas. Any aircraft or vehicle deemed unsafe by the Association to the life, health or condition or maintenance of any of the Common Areas by virtue of its size, design or state of disrepair may be prohibited from being used on the Common Areas. Careless or reckless operation of any vehicle, including aircraft, trucks, automobiles or motorcycles on any Lot other than the Owner's Lot is strictly forbidden. The Association reserves the right to suspend anyone who carelessly or recklessly operates their vehicle on the Common Areas, including roadways, taxiways or runways, from further use of said Common Areas for a period not to exceed 60 days.

Transient Aircraft Parking

Approved Pilots landing at Stoney Point Airfield to visit a resident may temporarily park their aircraft at their sponsor's residence.

Insurance

Each person owning a lot who operates and/or owns an airplane shall be required to carry liability insurance and shall name the Association as an additional insured. (6.2)
