DVPA "Quick and Current" - Sunday October 11, 2009
Things are changing on the ground at Prescott (KPRC) that could be of concern to transient pilots. Although details -- especially use of the restaurant -- are not very clear, the transient ramp is now south of the crossing runways 3R and 30, approached by taxiways "D" and "E".
The ramp near the terminal restaurant is now TSA restricted and requires screening to re-enter. Questions? Contact Legend Aviation (928) 443-9333
The Mexican equivalent of the FAA has granted a six-month extension to the Oct. 1 deadline that would have required all aircraft flying in Mexico to be equipped with 406-MHz ELTs. Pilots now have until April 2, 2010, to equip their aircraft with the device, with a few exceptions.
Pilots, who install a new ELT in their aircraft after Oct. 2 and plan to fly into Mexico, will need to equip with the 406-MHz type. The country is requiring any new installation of ELTs after that date be the 406-MHz device in order to fly in Mexican airspace. Pilots flying with 121.5-MHz ELTs installed before Oct. 2 can continue to do so until the batteries expire, need to be replaced, or by April 2, 2010, whichever occurs first.
The Deer Valley pilot shop, the "Flight Bag," will remain in the very capable hands of Mike and Lynn Hoza for at least another five years. The lease was renewed and they continue to want pilot input on what supplies to stock.
Requests (written or e-mail) for stocking oil and related supplies are especially welcomed to assist their efforts to get city permission to sell these specific type of supplies.
