Flying into West Yellowstone airport (WYS)
On 10-Aug-2006, "M" wrote: Has anyone flown to that airport in similar non TC, fix-pitch 4-seaters? Done it in a stock 150 hp C-172 right at max gross weight. No problem, really. Just expect the takeoff roll to be considerably longer than you are used to, and initial climb to be relatively anemic. Have fun! -Elliott Drucker |

Flying into West Yellowstone airport (WYS)
"M" wrote in message oups.com... We're planning to fly into West Yellowstone airport (WYS) in a Grumman AA-5 Traveler with stock engine. The landing and takeoff will be about 200lb under gross and we plan to take off in early morning. Densitiy altitude is of course a major concern. Has anyone flown to that airport in similar non TC, fix-pitch 4-seaters? What's the terrain like near the airport? Any room for climb-out? Thanks! I flew into their about a week ago. You'll have no problem. |

WYS is a bit of a flat area, almost in a flat pocket (elevation 6600) with a ring of 8K hills about 10-20 nm away in any direction. 2) Are you familiar with the peculiarities of high-altitude, high-density flying? 3) TFRs at Jackson Hole -- Cheney's there most of August. Be aware. Anyone have a lat/long of Cheney's house/ranch? |

Be aware. Anyone have a lat/long of Cheney's house/ranch? Sure...it's on the TFR. One TFR is 3 nm around the airport. The other TFR is 3 nm around the ranch. |
