Airspace Research Study Phoenix, Arizona 2004
2
Objective Goal: To advocate improved operational safety through enhanced understanding of surrounding practice area usage Valley-wide distribution of study results and recommendations Continued annual to bi-annual research for continued improvement Airports Studied: CHD, FFZ, IWA, SDL, DVT, & P19 General Focus: Northeast, Northwest, Southeast, & Southwest practice areas
3
Research Development Surveys distributed to various FBO/ Flight schools Valley-wide contained questions involving: Primary practice area usage Altitude utilization Transitions Collision Avoidance Data received from surveys implemented into presentation **All information, charts, and graphs are based only on submitted surveys, accuracy varies

Primary Practice Areas by Airport IWA: Southeast & Southwest CHD: Southeast & Southwest FFZ: East, Northeast, Southeast, & Southwest SDL: Northeast, Southeast, & Southwest DVT: Northwest (primary), Northeast (secondary), Southeast, Southwest (occasionally)
10
IWA: Transitioning To & From Helicopter (1 schools info): Direct into SE practice area and direct to return to IWA at 500 AGL Fixed Wing (2 schools info): SE and SW practice area average daily transitions (2 schools): From IWA-practice area transition points: Over Pegasus Between Mr. Volcano & Santan Mountains Gap of the Santan Mountains Rittenhouse to Renaissance Festival From practice area-IWA Same positions as transitioning outbound Altitudes: Outbound altitudes: 4,000 MSL and above Inbound altitudes: 3,500 MSL
11
CHD: Transitioning To & From Fixed Wing (1 school/FBO info): From CHD to Practice area : Headings between 100-220 degrees Practice area to CHD : 4 NM directly south of field 4 NM directly east of field Altitudes : Inbound altitudes: 2,500-3,500 MSL Outbound altitudes 2,500-3,500 MSL
12
FFZ: Transitioning To & From Fixed wing: (2 schools info): From FFZ- NE practice area: Direct to practice area Either side of Red Mt. to practice area Direct Fountain Hills Return over same points From FFZ-SE practice area (Apache Junction) Directly east from FFZ to canal and U.S. 60 at 3,000 MS Altitudes: Outbound altitudes: 3,500 MSL and above/ 4,500 MSL Inbound altitudes: 3,000 MSL/ 4,500 MSL
13
SDL: Transitioning To & From Fixed wing (1 schools info): From SDL-NE/SE practice areas: NE and SE via usary Pass/ Apache Junction From SDL-SW practice area: Via Class Bravo transition or SE practice area Inbound and Outbound altitudes: 3,500 MSL- 6,500 MSL
14
DVT: Transitioning To & From Fixed wing (2 schools): From DVT-all practice areas: All directions from DVT 25L/R: west of I-17, then NW or W to shooting range, orchards, or towards Luke AFB Aux. Fields 7L/R: N-NW over Cave Creek dam, bend in Carefree HWY, or NE-E toward Pinnacle Peak Inbound from practice area- DVT: Same as outbound reference points Outbound and Inbound altitudes: 3,000- 5,500 MSL

Projected Growth of Aircraft in 5 Years Goodyear:Remain the same Scottsdale:50% increase Gateway:10%-50% increase fixed wing/ 50% increase rotor Deer Valley:50% increase Chandler:10% increase Falcon:30% increase
18
Extended Collision Avoidance Suggestions Utilization of higher altitudes Operate further out in each practice area Communication on proper frequencies Coordination of company aircraft Possibility of VFR flight following from ABQ center or PHX approach Additional TCAS equipped aircraft Spreading awareness of operations to all flight schools/FBO Valley wide
19
Getting Involved Develop awareness of the AFTW Distribute discovered research Hand out additional surveys to other facilities
