Hello! My home airport is KMSN (Dane County Regional Airport in Madison, Wisconsin). The Chart Supplement page for this airport says "TPA--See Remarks." Then under remarks it says, "Overhead TPA rstd to 2500'". A few questions:
Thank you!
Dave
- Isn't the word "Overhead" redundant when talking about altitude, or is there some information this word conveys here?
- Is the 2500' value in reference to MSL or is it in reference to airport elevation? (It doesn't say anywhere in the remarks, and the legend doesn't say how to interpret it.)
- Does "restricted to 2500'" mean "no higher than 2500'", "no lower than 2500'" or "exactly 2500'"?
- Separate question: In the remarks it says "Rwy 18/36 left turn." But there are two other runways at the airport. Does this mean that the pattern direction for those runways is up to the tower? And when the tower isn't operating and there are no other aircraft in the pattern, is it up to the pilot?
- Another separate question: The remarks say, "Noise abatement procedures in effect: departing acft utilize Rwy 36 and Rwy 3, arriving acft utilize Rwy 18 and Rwy 21." Would this always be true regardless of wind? (I don't see how it could.) Or will the tower change this as needed?
Thank you!
Dave
