Dear Group,
While I am the only soaring pilot at my local field (KLUM), the occasional glider drops in when the lift gives out. A dozen years ago I had formed a little club, and we used the 50-ft grass overruns and the 100-ft-wide grass margins of the runway continually, to avoid conflicts with power traffic. That's ancient history now. I am now on the airport commission, a good position from which to request that we formally designate the 100 ft X 3000 ft grass area paralleling the paved runway along its south side as a parallel runway for recreation and training, with proper markings. I think it would help my case if I can present a list of airports where glider/power operations are routinely conducted on close- together parallel runways, in case there is any foot-dragging (as always seems to happen when change is suggested). Please email either a response to this list, or privately to me - drdanATwwt.net - about any such cooperative gliderport/airport, and whether you fly there or simple know of it (in which case I'll look up the manager). All that's needed is the ICAO airport designator, but details are of course welcome, especially if any FAA concerns had been expressed regarding instrument-approach limitations. Thanks very much.
