Ive never heard of the FAA doing that. There are lots of one-way fields in mountainous areas. Some of them have substantial federal funding. > > Thus, our local county council is seeking examples of other airports > that have true one-way operations (not just one-way when the winds > are below a certain level).

Cumberland County Maryland has at least one runway that is unidirectional (it looks right at a mountain). An extreme case is Aspen Colorado, the remarks section of the AF/D says things like -TERRAIN WILL NOT ALLOW FOR NORMAL TFC PATTERNS. HIGH RATES OF DESCENT MAY BE RQRD DUE TO TERRAIN & LOCAL PROCS. UNIQUE VFR DEP PROCS EXIST CALL 1-800-488-2776 FOR MORE INFO. - TKOF NOT AUTHORIZED ON RY 15 WITHOUT WRITTEN PERMISSION FM AMGR. I believe there was a sign there the time I was there that said "TAKEOFF WEST OR WAIT!" |
