Sedona Question

I am going to be in AZ next week and want to include a flight to
Sedona.

I have heard various things about landing there.... for example you
land
uphill on runway 03 but take-off downhill on 21 - then I heard you can
land
and take-off from either.

Which is true ?

Thanks

What you have described is the normal practice at Sedona, assuming light
winds. But both runway ends are available for either takeoff or landing
if necessary. Landing on 3 and taking off on 21 is easier with respect
to the runway slope and also the surrounding terrain. Enjoy your trip.
It's a beautiful place.

I have seen on youtube some very long straight in approaches to 03

One of my wishes was to fly my Cessna there and fly around and Monument
Valley. Alas, it is not to be as lost medical and sold airplane.....

Those are good references, but they don't answer the OP's question. The custom of landing on 3 and
departing on 21 is not documented in the AFD. It's just local common practice. (and seems like no harm
in asking here).

Looks like it may be off anyway, with the TFR for the wildfire and the winds
expected to pick up over the weekend - ah well !!!

Next time

Actually here is the reference that led to mu OP.


All arrivals and departures use standard uncontrolled airport AIM
procedures. Land and take off into the wind, left traffic to both runways.
(This is a recent change from the old recommendation of landing 03 and
departing 21, so be alert for folks who haven't gotten the word.)
