About Our Flight Procedures Outreach Program
The Truckee Tahoe Airport District is in the process of developing new flight procedures that maximize pilot safety, security and efficiency while minimizing impact to the community.
The Truckee Tahoe Airport works daily to reduce its users’ impacts on the community. By developing new departure procedures for Runway 11 and Runway 29, pilots will be able to use a more strategic flight path—utilizing instrumentation to fly over more open space than homes. These potential flight procedures take into account the region’s terrain, neighborhoods, and the most efficient manner to bring pilots in and out of Truckee Tahoe Airport. As the airport goes through the federal process for developing the new procedures, its staff will provide multiple opportunities for the public to provide feedback. From open houses to presentations to fireside chats, the airport is committed to presenting all details of the process in an open and transparent manner.
