| Subject: | Building a landing strip in Pa |
A friend of mine, and I are looking for land, to put in our own
landing strip. There is NO hanger space where I fly from now and I am
getting too old to drag my FSII up onto my trailer each time I fly. (
not to mention we feel the land would be a good investment). Has
anyone done this, and what hoops must you jump through before buying
the land? This would NOT be open to the general public, and only he
and I would take off and land there. Thanks in advance for any
guidance you can offer. Lanny N598LF

Lanny,
Yes. But call me. Too much to go into via email.

Lanny/All
I already owned the land so I just took the stand that it was better to ask
forgiveness than to ask permission. I build a 1400 ft one way grass strip
in Michigan that I flew out of for 20 years with no problems. I did make
the rounds to neighbors every few years or so to talk about any issues.
This seemed to be the key and not too much traffic. Never had a minutes
problem with neighbors or any government. At one point I looked into making
it a class D airstrip which would have given me tax exempt status on the
runway but didn't have enough length for the required approaches/and length.
The runway was plenty for my kolb and very convenient as it was next to my
house and hanger. Not much better than being less than 20 minutes form your
living room to in the air including a good preflight.
By the way, the house, 19 acres, hanger and strip is 10 miles west of
Lansing MI and is for sale if anyone is interested. Contact me off the list
if you are interested.

Rick N/Folks:
Good idea to stay on the good side of your neighbors by visiting with them
to see if there are any issues.
I've been flying out of a cow pasture for 27 years. Never had a complaint
from my neighbors. To keep on their good side, I occasionally take aerial
photos of their houses and acreage. Putting them in a nice 8 X 10
inexpensive picture frame also adds a little bit to the personal side of
this gift.

If any of you hard-of-hearing pilots use hearing aids you should try the T-Coil
setting, if so equipped. The T-Coil switches OFF the hearing aid microphone and
gets its signal from the emf (electromagnetic field) generated by the coils
in the headset. This way, the only major sound you get comes through the radio
and/or intercom. The T-coil was designed for use with telephones (hence the
name) but works as well or better in a noisy airplane cabin with headsets.
I went completely deaf over the years in both ears and now have bi-lateral cochlear
implants. The only way I can use the radio now is with the T-coil set which
makes a HUGE difference in speech intelligibility.

I live in northeast Pa and am doing the same thing. Went to the Township building
and spoke with the local officials and they told me there are no zoning laws
in the township that would prohibit me from doing this. Every township is different
you should check with they first.

Excellent device, how do you install it into a headset? Or make it work in an airplane?
How is yours set up?

It depends on the state and local laws. For private use, it may be that
nothing is required. Here in Connecticut the state only gets involved if
more than 35 takeoffs and landings per year or 10 per day are done, then
you need a state airport license. I know that in NJ _all_ flying must be
from a state licensed airport. Local zoning may apply. We built a strip
here in CT and first the zoning people told us we couldn't fly because
zoning regulations didn't list it as a permitted use. We requested special
permission and they changed their mind and declared that the zoning
regulations didn't actually prohibit it, either... subject to not annoying
anybody, we could go ahead and fly. They didn't want to set a precedent by
giving us formal permission.

T-coils are built into all modern hearing aids, I believe, and cochlear implant
speech processors. I know that all the hearing aids I had over the 25 plus year
period I could use one, had T-coils. Each manufacturer of aids/implants has
their own way of switching from mic to T-coil, and back when you are done flying
or using the telephone. Mine just requires pressing two small buttons on the
processor for 3 seconds to switch to T-coil mode. Same for switching back to
microphone. Some have a way of mixing both mic and T-coil. Mine is set (via
programming) to keep 10% of the sound coming from the mic with 90% coming through
the T-coil. I would prefer it be 100% T-coil but that is not possible on mine.
When the T-coil is OFF, all sound comes from the microphone pickup.
There is no external device required, no wired connections or anything. The mere
close proximity of a telephone or headset is sufficient to pickup the telephone/radio/intercom
output. Just use the telephone or headset as you are using
now but with the hearing aid switched to T-coil.
If you don't have hearing aids I know of no way of rigging anything like this.

Mike, I just found the listing for the land today. I will give you a
call if we move forward. We are going to go look at it tomorrow.

Thanks for the hearing aid info. I am in the process of getting a new pair.
I tried them in 1978 and 1980, when I retired from the Army, but never gave
them a chance for me to really get adjusted to the new noise. Being able to
hear any better than I do now would make my flying much more enjoyable.
