| General Comments and Points to Ponder |
|
| Notes of Interest: | Some things you might like
to know about our airfield. Runway 35-17 is the second longest runway in Utah, second only to Salt Lake International; it's a pretty new runway and very smooth. On the other hand, runway 28-10 is a little worn out and we're lobbying hard to have it resurfaced. When landing runway 28-10, remember to practice your soft field landing techniques and keep light on that front wheel as it bounces over the rough stuff. Runway 35 is the predominant runway and you'll find that most
times this is where the traffic is concentrated. Especially at
night, since 28-10 does not have lights. |
| Learn to fly! | Logan Cache Airport has
two fixed wing training schools located on the field, one sponsored
by Utah State University, and the other is Privately owned by
Leading Edge Aviation, (Not to mention several independent CFI's.) So, be mindful and courteous, you will
find a lot of student traffic at this airport. New to our airport, we have also been fortunate enough to have a rotorcraft school open shop; be mindful and watch for student pilots flying helicopters in this area as well. Our field is also home to several active glider pilots who love flying the thermals up against the mountains, and let's not forget to mention our active ultra light pilots as well. Watch out for the ultra lights, remember, they fly low and slow.
Even though these guys seem to be very experienced at staying away
from traffic in the area, it never hurts to be courteous and give
them a wide birth. Even the wake turbulence from a Cessna
Skyhawk could cause these bad boys some trouble. |
| Transportation | Transportation into town
is a little sparse, and its a bit too far to walk. Logan does
have a couple of taxi cab companies you'll find in the local
directory, one of the national firms keeps a car at Leading Edge
Aviation for rent, but you might want to call before you arrive to
make sure its there waiting for you. It's nice to know that Leading Edge Aviation does
provide a courtesy car to their patrons. (I've always figured
that FBO's who provide courtesy cars call them that because they
fully expect the courtesy of you buying your NAV fuel from them.
Don't forget to kindly replenish the vehicles fuel tank upon its
return as well.) |
| Hobbyists: | The RC club, who used to
operate on the closed runway have moved to their own airfield, about
10 miles west of town, they no longer use the Cache Airfield as
their stomping grounds. |
| Personal Facilities & Pilot Lounge: |
Wahoo!!! Thanks to
the ever present political maneuvers of the local Cache Valley
Aviation Association, we've finally got ourselves a brand spankin
new Pilot Lounge! (Its very, very nice, stop in and take a rest.)
It's located on the front line, about half way down the ramp.
(Look for the small sign.) The entrance is along the
north side of the small building that looks like a mini hanger, too
small for an airplane--big window in front, where you'll also find
our airport manager. |
| Huge Question: | Probably the most often
asked question is this: "Does the Logan Cache Airport now have
a control tower?" The answer is still no, we are
"uncontrolled." But, when flying in you'll notice a big, huge,
brand spanking new, brass and glass control tower on the field,
which will make you question yourself as to whether or not this
control tower is in service. Well my friend, fear not, this control tower is actually a huge bungee jumping platform and babe lair built by one of our local flyboys. It's not an official control tower at all, although I have heard several newcomers try to make contact with it.
