Juneau Commercial Operators

Letter of Agreement

Airspace Users – Juneau, Alaska and Vicinity

Revision Number 14

Effective Date: May 1, 2007

LETTER OF AGREEMENT

Airspace Users - Juneau, Alaska and Vicinity

This letter of agreement is entered into for the purpose of establishing safe operating practices in the Juneau Airport Class D surface area and the uncontrolled airspace in the geographic areas surrounding Juneau, Alaska to include, (1) the Juneau Ice Field and its glacier drainage’s, (2) Gastineau Channel and Taku Inlet to include the Taku Glacier ice field, and (3) Lynn Canal, Glacier Bay and Cross Sound/Icy Strait as described in Appendices A, B, C, and D to this agreement.

The intent is to ensure horizontal and vertical separation of aircraft, and to ensure aircraft on common routes are on the same radio frequencies. These routes and procedures are designed to include commercial aircraft operations (air-carriers and tour operators), both fixed and rotary wing, special use operations (para-gliders, powered and non-powered parachutes), general aviation, and military users.

The methods employed include preferred routes, primary and secondary reporting points, specific radio frequencies, frequency changeover points, and specific altitudes for specified direction of flight at traffic conflict areas.

The procedures in this agreement are based on effective procedures developed over years of use by local commercial operators. The topography and prevailing weather surrounding Juneau, Alaska channels aircraft into common routes, creating potential conflicts between aircraft regardless of the type of operation being conducted. The largest concentration of aircraft is comprised of VFR Commuter traffic and air tours. However, all aircraft are geographically restricted to the use of the same routes.

Signature of an aircraft operator to the routes and procedures contained in this Juneau Operators Letter of Agreement (LOA) indicates voluntary compliance, in that while operating on the described routes, these procedures should be adhered to. This does not restrict an aircraft operator from utilizing non-depicted routes. Deviations from this letter of agreement may be made after verbal coordination with other affected parties. This agreement does not relieve aircraft operators and pilots from adhering to Federal Aviation Regulations, or Operations Specifications issued to that company by FAA Flight Standards. It remains a right and responsibility for a pilot to deviate from any procedure if required to ensure the safety of their aircraft, or when weather or traffic conflicts require.

Modifications to a specific area procedure will be made via date and numbered revisions to the specific appendix or page, including a signature agreement line for each party to this agreement. This agreement is valid until the end of each calendar year.

GENERAL PROCEDURES APPLYING

TO ALL FOUR GEOGRAPHIC AREAS:

I. Altitudes:

1. VFR Hemispherical Cruising Altitudes apply above 3,000 feet above

ground level (AGL).

2. Enter drainage’s (upstream direction), fly at thousand foot levels--

1000, 2000,3000 feet above mean sea level (MSL). *Except Taku Inlet.

See Section C.

3. Exit drainage’s (downstream direction), fly at 500-foot levels (500, 1500,

2500 feet MSL). *Except Taku Inlet. See Section C.

4. Minimum altitude in uncontrolled airspace is 500 feet AGL vertically from

any terrain, except during takeoff and landing, unless a higher altitude is

advisable to ensure power off glide to an emergency-landing site.

5. Helicopters crossing a ridgeline may cross at 300 feet AGL.

NOTE: This does not restrict non-tour aircraft from operating

below 500 feet when conducting specialized operations in

accordance with other Federal Aviation Regulations.

II. Reporting Points

1. Primary and secondary reporting points are listed in each geographic area

appendix. The charts enclosed depict these reporting points. Those

depicted as “Primary” are the minimum points that should be used.

“Secondary” points were chosen to enhance reporting.

2. Pilots should report approaching these points, and when approaching

passes. Position reports should be given when approaching a frequency

changeover line on both the frequency leaving and the frequency changing

to. This will minimize traffic conflicts and allow opposing traffic two

opportunities to receive your position.

III. Rules of the Road

1. Except where noted in a Specific Area Procedure and Alaska Air Lines

GPS/RNP procedural track or when confronted with weather, traffic or

other conflicts, normal traffic will fly on the right side of rivers, valleys,

mountain passes, shorelines, or waterways.

2. If weather requires deviation from standard or Specific Area Traffic

Patterns, radio position calls should include this information.

Note: Alaska Airlines RNP RNAV Rwy 26 approach

tracks center on the Gastineau channel. Refer to

Appendix A for Alaska Airlines approach profile

information.

GENERAL PROCEDURES APPLYING

TO ALL FOUR GEOGRAPHIC AREAS:

(Continued)

IV. Radio Etiquette

Note: Due to the high volume of radio traffic,

Pilots will adhere to the following guidelines:

1. During take-off and landing, when in Gastineau Channel or until established

in straight and level flight, radio transmissions should be limited to traffic

advisories only. All communication with passengers during these phases

of flight should be halted to ensure clear communication between aircraft.

2. Communications should be brief. Who, Where, Altitude, Intentions, ATIS.

3. There should be no unnecessary conversations over any of the CTAF

frequencies. Any such communications should be conducted on another

frequency so long as the appropriate CTAF can be adequately monitored.

If an aircraft has only one communication radio, then non-critical conversation

should take place on the ground.

4. If persistent radio chatter occurs, pilots should bring it to the attention of there

Company management.

V. Company Management Responsibilities

1. Company management personnel, i.e. Base Managers, Chief Pilots or Lead

Pilots, should make every effort to ensure that the standards set forth in this

Letter of Agreement are strictly adhered to ensure safety. This goal will be

accomplished by thoroughly training all pilots on the routes, altitudes, procedures,

frequencies and conduct explained in the Letter of Agreement.

2. In addition to training, the above management personnel will establish a system

by which to gather, exchange and disseminate information to and from pilots.

Each company will have designated contacts with whom to communicate any

deviations from the Letter of Agreement that are witnessed to occur so that

corrective action can be taken as soon as possible. It is encouraged that we all

participate, both management and pilot staff, to ensure a safe standard of

adherence to these guidelines.

3. A list of contacts for each company can be found in Appendix E.

SPECIFIC AREA PROCEDURES:

SECTION A. JUNEAU AIRPORT CLASS-D AIRSPACE

Note: VFR arrival and departure procedures and

route charts are in “Appendix-A”

I. Aircraft inbound to the airport shall establish communications with the Juneau Air Traffic

control Tower (Juneau ATCT) prior (5 to 8 miles out) to entering the Class-D airspace.

II. Aircraft inbound from Gastineau Channel change to the Juneau ATCT frequency at the

Juneau-Douglas Bridge ( JD Bridge).

III. Aircraft departing the airport eastbound --switch to 123.05 overflying ERA Helicopters.

IV. Parachute Jumping occasionally is conducted within a 2 nautical mile radius of the

Faith Lutheran Church and Brotherhood Bridge, west of the Super Bear

Market / Mendenhall Mall, up to an altitude of 12,500 feet MSL. This radius

narrows to 1/2 mile at the surface. When jump activity is planned, the Juneau ATCT

will have been notified in advance prior to takeoff by the jump organizer, and a NOTAM

shall be filed with Juneau Automated Flight Service Station ( Juneau AFSS). The

Juneau ATCT may amend arrival and departure clearances as required to avoid this

area.

The jump aircraft shall utilize the call sign “Jumper- (N#)” from takeoff to landing

and shall provide the Juneau ATCT with a 5 minute warning, a 2 minute warning, and a

“jumpers away” call. At the 2 minute warning, if the Juneau ATCT does not cancel the

jump clearance, then jumpers are outside the aircraft and committed. Any time up

until the 2 minute warning, Juneau ATCT may cancel jump clearance.

All parachuting activity will be conducted in accordance with the most current Letter

of Agreement between the Juneau ATCT and Skydive Juneau.

V. Paragliding occurs in the area of Thunder Mountain, between the airport and the

Mendenhall Glacier, and near Heintzelman Ridge. Paragliding operations occur from

May to September on dry days with ceilings above 3,000 feet. Paragliders tend to

remain near the terrain in this area, but may be further out toward the center of

Mendenhall Valley. The primary paragliding landing zones are the Floyd Dryden

school, and Switzer Creek or Costco areas. Flights are normally below 4,500 feet

MSL, but may reach altitudes as high as 9,000 feet MSL above Thunder Mountain.

Prior to Paragliding activity a NOTAM shall be filed with Juneau AFSS, and any

entry into the Airport Class-D airspace shall be prearranged with the Juneau ATCT.

All paragliding activity shall be conducted in accordance with the most current Letter

Of Agreement between the Juneau ATCT, Juneau AFSS, and the Juneau Eagles

Paragliding Club.

I. General Guidelines

Paragliding activity often is conducted from Mt. Roberts on dry days when ceilings

are above 1,800 feet (the level of the Mt. Roberts Tram). Normal altitudes are

between 3,600 feet MSL and the surface; occasionally operations are as high as

6,000 feet MSL over the summit of Mt. Roberts. Primary paragliding season is

May - September; however, occasional flights occur year-round.

In overcast conditions, Paragliders will not cross Thane Road until below 700 feet

for landing at the “Rock Dump.” Landings will be made within 150 yards of Thane

Road. Paragliders will not fly over or cross Gastineau Channel unless equipped

with an aircraft-band radio to provide traffic advisories on the Juneau Harbor

CTAF (123.05) Paragliders carrying radios will self announce on 123.05 when

operating, and will advise air taxi companies conducting operations from the

downtown harbor of paragliding activity via telephone prior to commencing

paragliding operations. Aircraft traffic shall remain to the waterside of the Thane

Road shoreline at or above 1,000 feet MSL, when transiting this area, unless

weather or traffic requires otherwise.

Powered parachutes (ultralight vehicles) may be encountered at any altitude. Popular

areas are in the vicinity of Gastineau Channel, and Eagle River/Herbert Glacier areas

north of Lena Point. These vehicles shall carry 2-way air band radios and monitor

the appropriate traffic frequencies. They will display a flashing strobe light to

enhance visibility. Except for takeoff and landings, a minimum of 500 feet AGL shall

be maintained over any road, person, vehicle, vessel, or structure. Flight over

congested or populated areas of Juneau, or groups of persons, will not be conducted

in uncontrolled (Class-G) airspace. Use of the Juneau airport, or entry into the

will remain on the northeast (Juneau) side of the channel. Descents to ERA are

made over mid-channel and started at the radio tower west of the Juneau-

Douglas Bridge. Crossing to the ERA helipad from mid-channel will be from as

nearly abeam ERA as possible.

2. Helicopters abeam Sheep Creek will cross at 2,200 feet MSL. Airplane traffic

inbound and outbound in Gastineau Channel between the shoreline will be at,

below 2,000 feet MSL, or above 2,500 feet MSL at this crossing.

3. Aircraft heading upstream (northeast) in Taku Inlet on either shoreline will be in

a continuous climb, or at: 500, 1500 or 2500 feet MSL when ceilings permit.

Aircraft heading downstream (southwest) on either shoreline will remain at 1000,

2000, or 3000 foot levels. Above 3,000 feet AGL hemispherical cruising altitudes

apply.

4. When upstream of the Toe of the Taku Glacier, helicopters transiting upstream

will remain at 500 feet MSL. Fixed wing traffic heading downstream will remain

at, or above 1,000 feet MSL.

side around Sawmill Hill, via Fort Seward, Garbage Point, to Taiya Point, or

over Ripinski Ridge to Taiya Point. When southbound to Haines from

Skagway, proceed south on the left (northeast) shoreline to Low Point, and

then continue south to Haines. If weather requires flight on the right

(southwest) shore, announce intentions on CTAF (122.9).

2. Aircraft arriving at Haines from the north fly south of Sawmill Hill to enter a

left base for Rwy-26, or right downwind for Rwy-08, remaining south of the

runway for noise abatement. When arriving from the Takhin River or

Klukwan, enter left traffic for Rwy-26, or straight in to Rwy-08.

3. Traffic transiting southbound into Lynn Canal should fly along the southern

portion of the Chilkat River, along the mountains, to remain clear of Haines

airport traffic.

4. See Haines Airport specifics in the Alaska Supplement.

VI. Lynn Canal (CTAF 122.9)

1. Traffic can be expected in both directions on both shores of Lynn Canal.

Traffic northbound from Juneau to Haines/Skagway will use 500-foot

levels (1500, 2500 feet MSL). Traffic southbound toward Juneau will

use thousand foot levels (1000, 2000, 3000 feet MSL). Above 3,000 feet

AGL, hemispherical cruising altitudes apply.

VII. Berners River / Eagle Pass to Montana Creek to the Juneau Airport

(CTAF – From a line drawn from Eagle Pass to Montana Creek -

122.9 when operating along the Lynn Canal shore)

1. Aircraft proceeding toward Juneau from Eagle Pass to Montana Creek

should cross Windfall Lake AT 2,500 feet MSL. Helicopters cross

Windfall Lake between Spaulding Meadows and the Eagle and Herbert

Glaciers below 2,000 feet MSL or above 3,000 feet MSL.

2. Fixed wing aircraft continuing inbound to Juneau airport should cross the

Rifle Range AT 1,500 feet MSL inbound from Montana Creek. Helicopters

crossing the Rifle Range perpendicular to Montana Creek flow should be

above 2,000 feet MSL -- when weather permits -- between Spaulding

Meadows and the Mendenhall Glacier.

3. Inbound to the airport on this route, report McGinnis Creek to ATCT prior

to entering the Class-D airspace for sequencing.

SPECIFIC AREA PROCEDURES:

SECTION D. LYNN CANAL & GLACIER BAY

(Continued)

VIII. Juneau Icefield (Junction of Herbert & Mendenhall Glaciers) (CTAF 122.75)

1. Primary reporting points when transitioning from the icefield to either the

Herbert or Mendenhall Glacier are the West Branch or East Branch.

2. Fixed wing aircraft should remain as high as practical over glacier landing

sites. Helicopter traffic will generally be low while landing at the Upper and

Lower sites. See Appendix C and D for charts depicting helicopter landing

sites and reporting points.

IX. Gustavus (CTAF 122.5)

1. Aircraft transitioning to Gustavus through Excursion Pass (“The Notch”)

should change frequency at Teardrop Lake, during low weather plan

frequency change at Homeshore Logging Camp. Note that CTAF for this

area is the Gustavus CTAF. Pilot controlled ground warning lights at

Excursion Inlet are on (124.25) a separate frequency from CTAF.

X. Hoonah (CTAF 122.7)

1. Aircraft approaching and departing Hoonah use Sisters Island as a

frequency change point. Approaching from the east change no later

than Spaaski Bay.

XI. GLACIER BAY NATIONAL PARK (CTAF 123.0)

1. Aircraft conducting tours in Glacier Bay National Park should remain above

2,000 feet MSL between May 1 and June 30 when overflying Johns Hopkins

Inlet due to pupping seals, and above 2,000 feet MSL between May 15 to

July 15 in Adams Inlet due to molting migratory waterfowl. Pilots are

requested to avoid these areas altogether during these periods if possible.

The topography of Glacier Bay amplifies changes to propeller pitch noise.

Pilots are requested to minimize RPM changes, and avoid circling over any

points to minimize impact on wildlife. (Refer to notes on bottom bar of the

Juneau VFR Sectional Chart.)
