G. Airport Operations
BF students, renters, and personnel must always comply with the airport regulations at
which they are operating. Additionally:
i. Runways
□ Unless flying a seaplane, all BF aircraft must takeoff and land only on hard-
surfaced, well-maintained runways, unless the Chief instructor permits
otherwise.
ii. Contaminated Runways
□ Consult with a BF instructor to determine whether, or not, it is safe to
takeoff and/or land on a runway that is contaminated.
□ A runway is “contaminated” when it is not clean and/or dry, (i.e. rain,
snow, ice, dirt, mud, etc…)
□ Contaminated runway takeoff procedures should be adhered to:
In addition to normal/crosswind takeoff technique, forward pressure to
be applied on the yolk to hold the weight of the aircraft down to the
ground during acceleration and avoid hydroplaning. Once the airplane
reaches rotate speed, forward pressure is released and airplane lifted
quickly off the ground.
□ Contaminated runway landing procedures should be adhered to:
In addition to normal/crosswind approach and landing technique, upon
touchdown the flaps are to be immediately retracted and forward
pressure applied to hold the weight of the aircraft down to the ground
to help avoid hydroplaning until the aircraft is at safe taxi speed.
□ Braking while moving on a contaminated runway is inadvisable, and must
be light.
