Letter to Editor
To the Editor:
The issue of aircraft traffic flows to and from the Aurora State airport continues to generate much interest. As a retired air traffic controller with over seventeen years of service at PDX, I would like to share my thoughts regarding the situation.
The fair weather / summertime takeoff and landing direction at Aurora is to the north, while the rainy season / wintertime flow is to the south. The wind at the airport is a big factor as pilots prefer landing and departing into a headwind for safety considerations.
When aircraft depart to the north the standard procedure is to turn left or right leaving 700 to 1000 feet after takeoff. Depending on aircraft performance, this should usually be accomplished prior to reaching Charbonneau. For airplanes landing to the south, however, noise over Charbonneau could become a bigger issue.

The Lifeflight air ambulance network has a base at Aurora State, and I frequently hear their helicopters and fixed-wing PC12 turboprop aircraft flying overhead, especially at night. The control tower there is closed during the overnight hours. A reminder may be appropriate to Lifeflight that our area is noisesensitive and avoidance would be appreciated, weather permitting, unless that particular flight is on a priority mission.
My perspective as a Charbonneau resident? I’ ve had a lifetime interest in aviation and enjoy watching airplanes. An added bonus during the summer air show season is that one can spot some interesting and unusual aircraft flying in and out of Aurora State.
