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.
Avoid landing from the north over the City of Hailey unless weather, aircraft performance, pilot experience and familiarity, or company operations specifications, necessitate otherwise. If landing from the north is necessary, arrivals should proceed inbound on east side of the valley, and/or per ATC instructions. Make modified left base over Hailey cemetery when able.
Notes:
Use east side of the valley. Arriving aircraft should stay at or above PAPI glideslope over Bellevue as weather, aircraft performance, and ATC instructions allow. Safety is top priority.
NBAA APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURE VFR & IFR
Note: Aircraft should meet stabilized approach criteria no lower than 1,000’ (IMC) or 500’ (VMC).
For more information, visit the NBAA Noise Abatement Program website.
For authorization to use the Alternate Landing Area (ALA), please visit the ALA Requirement page.
Strait out Departures:
Climb as fast as practical and to the west side of the valley based on aircraft performance, ATC instructions, and safety considerations.
North Bound Departures:
Climb as fast as practical and to the west side of the valley based on aircraft performance, ATC instructions, and safety considerations. Upon reaching pattern altitude execute left or above downwind north bound.
Jet and Turbo Prop aircraft use aircraft manual noise abatement procedures (NBAA) to 3,000 AGL.
Avoid landing from the north over the City of Hailey unless weather, aircraft performance, pilot experience and familiarity, or company operations specifications necessitate otherwise.
Piston powered propeller driven aircraft reduce propeller RPM as soon as practical after takeoff.
North Bound-Routing North:
At a good rate of climb, make slight right turn at the departure end. Fly east side of the valley.
North Bound-Routing South:
Turn crosswind north of Hailey at or above pattern altitude.
NBAA CLOSE-IN DEPARTURE PROCEDURE
Notes: No configuration changes below 400 ft. (except landing gear retraction). Ensure compliance with applicable IFR climb and airspeed requirements. For a takeoff with an initial assigned altitudes within 1,500’ of the airport elevation (AAE), pilots may elect to climb at V2+20 in the takeoff configuration until necessary for level-off at the assigned altitude. This recommended procedure is not intended to preempt the reponsibilities of the pilot-in command for safe aircraft operation. Ensure compliance with application IFR climb and airspeed requirements and ATC instructions.
For more information, visit the NBAA Noise Abatement Program website.
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.
