Avoid landing from the north over the City of Hailey
In response to local community concerns, Friedman Memorial Airport has a voluntary noise abatement program. The program is applicable to all types of aircraft. Please note that compliance with our voluntary noise abatement program is dependent on weather, Air Traffic Control instructions, aircraft performance capabilities, and pilot experience and familiarity with our airport. Safety should always take priority.
For authorization to use the Alternate Landing Area (ALA), please visit the ALA Requirement page.
When the weather is VFR, pilots have the option of requesting a VFR climb to an altitude below FL180 to help expedite departure releases and alleviate delays. This can be especially effective when a departure queue has formed, and VFR climb procedures can be used to clear departures with minimal waiting between departures. Please review the attached graphical depiction and reminders of VFR climb procedures below.
If you are planning to ask for a VFR climb from the tower, you can expect instructions to stay on the west side of the valley. If you plan any eastbound turns, keep in mind the location of the final approach path and profile for Runway 31 that extends south of the airport and be mindful of all SUN Tower instructions and advisories (see attached graphic).
When the ARTCC is holding inbound aircraft, you may be advised of holding pattern location as you depart. It is better for all if VFR departures can avoid climbing through the holding pattern.
