chart geeks and old time central pennsylvanians
Ok, here's something I noticed running up to State College
yesterday. about 20 miles south of State College there's a class E transition area with no airport in the middle of it (there's Stottle Mem 02P, I think that's a hospital helipad on the edge of it, but I don't think that's the reason for it). Was there an airport here at one time with an approach? Why is this here? |

That are is just about 20 NM south of KUNV, and wort of centered around the STROH NDB. Since I'm based at Capital City Airport (Harrisburg),I've flown into and out of KRVL a number of times. Where are you based? |

It's outside the Mifflin Co/Mifflintown overlapping transition areas. It's roughly centered on a town marked East Waterford. Since I'm based at Capital City Airport (Harrisburg),I've flown into and out of KRVL a number of times. Where are you based? Culpeper Virginia. My daughter goes to Penn State. |

The FAF, CASLA, is at the center of the mystery airspace. http://map.aeroplanner.com/plates/Fa...COPTERR086.PDF http://map.aeroplanner.com/mapping/c...=FIX&txt=CASLA |

I guess I never looked at a copter approach before. There's no "flying past the airport" on the missed it's a backup and try again type thing which accounts for it's "off centered" appearance. |

It's always great to hear of another Nittany Lion supporter in this group. Your daughter made a good choice for college. Keep Harrisburg Capital City Airport in mind as a good stop should you need one the next time you fly this direction. It's only another 60 NM up to KUNV. If you're the least bit interested, I've got some great aerial photos of the campus, Beaver stadium (NOT taken during a home football game), Jordan Center, etc., etc. Email me directly after you remove the obvious stuff from by address. The class E that you asked about is for chopper use. It's only about 30 miles from where I live. Arnold Sten |
