This distance is measured when the preceding aircraft is over the runway threshold. That makes it harder for the aircraft to fit into hangars and airport gates. Small landing behind a Heavy 6 miles of separation. Waiting for three minutes behind a departing Super aircraft. Can Wingtip Vortices Be Useful?

The J-4, also known as a Cub Coupe, had been dropped off in Kennett for annual in 2008 by its then-owner and ended up becoming a permanent resident when Hurricane Ike stretched inland all the way to the Missouri Bootheel, lifting it from the ground and depositing it on top of the FBO’s maintenance hangar.

We broke out right at the missed approach point which is much too high and close to the runway threshold to make a normal landing. I initiated the missed approach procedure and watched the hangar buildings disappear back into mist as we climbed upward into the clouds. This was not a good setup to manage an approach down to minimums.

At the airport, there was ice and snow to remove from in front of the hangar door, fuel to add to the Warrior now resting on three fully inflated tires (the left main had a new tube), and then there was the moment when I slipped on ice while pulling the airplane from the hangar and landed flat on my back. We had a deal.

Rolling out on final approach, I was surprised to see another airplane stopped right at the runway threshold. Usually, Alton Bay volunteers hold departure traffic significantly farther back from the threshold when other aircraft are about to land. Should that guy be so close to the threshold?" Joe asked. Still.not cool.

He noted that most airports income has held pretty steady over the years, with income from streams such as hangars and fuel flowage having stayed relatively flat. That said, slipping the weight threshold down would be an easy move for any airport administrationand merits monitoring. So, for now, most of us are excluded from these fees.
