McCollum Runway Improvement Update
The Grading Contractor has completed its night-time work. The runway will remain open continuously until the scheduled November 10th through November 30th closure. At 12:01 am local Monday November 10th the runway will be closed and Taxiway A will be used as a temporary runway.

The temporary runway will be 3,700' long by 40' wide and marked as Runway 8-26. The runway will be limited to daytime VFR operations. Aircraft will be limited to local small aircraft weighing 12,500 pounds and less.  There will be no jet operations.

Flight training operations are to be conducted by an instructor and the instructor must perform all take off and landings. Only full stop operations will be permitted. The airport will work to make the temporary runway available as much as possible, but the contractor will have the right to close the temporary runway as work requires. Access to the temporary runway from the south aprons will be very limited. 

Superior has a plan to in place to access the temporary runway.  We anticipate being able to handle the majority of our dual operations from the RYY location.  In addition, Superior Flight School will relocate additional aircraft to the Cherokee County location during the closure to accomodate our rental customers who may otherwise be affected by the airport operating hours and closures.  Please direct any specific questions or concerns to Joe or Bob.

FTY Flight Operations Consolidated into RYY 11/1/08
Due to the current business conditions at our Fulton County Airport location, Superior Flight School has decided to consolidate its flight operations into the Cobb County - McCollum Field location effective November 1st, 2008.  Training and rental operations will remain unaffected during the month of October.  Plans are being made to help shift any students wanting to make the move after Oct 31. Please contact Andy for assistance. We anticipate being able to service your needs from the RYY and 47A locations with better efficiency and quality.
