Winter is Here
As the temperature drops and the precipitation turns to snow and ice, meeting flight and safety needs becomes more difficult. Here are a few suggestions that can help make winter operations more tolerable.
To check airport conditions or to arrange for services, call the airport at 816.969.1186 prior to your flight.
When it comes to snow removal, runways, taxiways and ramp areas are first priority, followed by hangar pads. For a snow of six inches or less, our goal is to have snow removed within 24 hours. You can help by following these guidelines:
- Do not drive on any part of the ramp or taxiways (including hangar pads) until they have been cleared. Snow that is packed from cars driving over surfaces makes snow removal difficult.
- Call ahead for access and we’ll clear your pad as soon as we can.
- DO NOT bring your own salt or other snow removal chemicals for use at the airport. Salt can harm hangars and other surfaces. This is another reason to refrain from driving on the snow - salt build up from roads can leave unwanted deposits.
When accessing hangars during cold weather be careful of possible ice on the roof that might fall when accessing your hangar. If you have any problems, please let us know before you “fix” it yourself.
Airport Virtual Open House
Help us define the airport’s goals and objectives and establish a strategy to guide airport development for the next 20 years by joining our 3D virtual open house. View the progress and provide input on the Lee’s Summit Municipal Airport’s updated Master Plan and Business Plan.
Be a Good Neighbor
A quick reminder for airport patrons to follow the posted 25 mph speed limit along NE Douglas St. when visiting the airport. This is a residential area with a lot of children playing outside, residents walking and cars entering the roadway from private driveways.
For your safety, please do not pass other vehicles. NE Douglas is a two-lane road and passing, especially at night, can be very dangerous.
