The 20 New T-Hangars in the southwest quadrant where dedi-cated on Saturday May 14th, right after the airport’s DiscoverFlying Day. Fifteen dedicated aviators and municipal represen-tatives gathered at the new hangar of PAPA president Lou Nistlerto officially dedicate the buildings.

On hand for the ribbon cutting were (L to R) Wheeling TrusteeJudy Abruscato, Prospect Heights Village manager MattZimmerman, Dean Ellis, PAPA T-Hangar Committee ChairmanJohn Doerner, long time PAPA member Gene Badal, PAPApresident Lou Nistler and Airport Manager Dennis Rouleau. Alsoattending were Palwaukee Municipal Airport CommissionChairman Jim Wylie and PMAC Vice Chairman Bob Dourlain.John Doerner and Gene Badal along with Mr. Nistler workedclosely with Mr. Rouleau to transform the new hangars from adream into a reality.

Wheeling/Prospect Hts., IL (May 24, 2005) - While most pilotsare willing to accept a few bumps in life, they typically drawthe line at lumps on an airport runway. Thanks to a recent FAAgrant of nearly $5 million, the funds are now available to smoothout all the bumps on the surface of Palwaukee Municipal Airport’srunway 12/30. The surface of the runway will be almost com-pletely rebuilt to make it as useful as possible to all types ofaircraft

Last minute FAA funding was approved thanks to the com-bined efforts of Illinois’ two U.S. Senators; assistant minorityleader, Dick Durbin and junior Senator Barack Obama. Both be-lieve Palwaukee functions as an essential link in the nationalairspace system.

The work on runway 12/30 was scheduled specifically tocoincide with the Palatine Road bridge construction this sum-mer. It was realized that the runway would have to close occa-sionally due to that construction any way, so the timing of the12/30 rebuild was planned to cause minimal delays to airportusers. Although 12/30 itself will be closed during the entireconstruction process, runway 16/34 will be closed only whennecessary and only late at night. Runway 16/34 will not closeduring regular tower hours: 6:00AM to 10:00PM.

In addition to a new surface, runway 12/30 will also bewidened from 50 to 75 feet. Modern new runway lights and acomplete new drainage system will also be added.

Beside construction work on runway 12/30, the red andwhite striped Hangar 3, a local landmark for decades, will beremoved because the building is too close to the runway tomeet newly updated FAA safety standards. Runway construc-tion is expected to commence July 1 and be completed priorto the onset of another Chicagoland winter.

President’s PageBy Lou Nistler

What a month! Things are really happening at PWK. I had theopportunity to work the PAPA booth at Discover flying daysand meet a lot of pilots and non-pilots. It was great to shareour enthusiasm with people that had a general desire to fly.Later that day the airport hosted the new T-hangar ribboncutting. It was great to meet with the airport management,communities and PAPA’s T-Hangar Committee that made it allpossible.

Earlier in the month I met with the airport management,communities, Ken Ross from North American Jet, CMT and BPto work on self-fuel. The airport has agreed to install theinfrastructure. CMT is working on the final location and de-sign.

Phase one of the Northeast T-hangars goes out to bid thismonth with site preparation to start soon. The resurfacingand widening of runway 12/30 will be starting soon with allthe construction work and closures to be performed duringevening hours.

This month PAPA met with North American Jet to work onprograms for the pilots of this airport. NAJ will be co-hostingour bi-monthly general meetings by paying a portion of thecost, provide a place for our monthly board meetings at nocharge, provide a locked mail box for PAPA’s mail at no charge,and increased our PAPA fueling discount to ten cents off agallon. They will continue to provide a place for The YoungEagles and assistance in scheduling and registration of thekids that fly.

If you have not noticed, all of this is happening with theairport management, communities, FBO’s and PAPA all workingtogether. Last months letter from Ray Klaus “Some Thoughtsand Observations” struck a chord with his first sentence, “Bekind to your FBO”. I would like to add to that. Be kind toyour FOB because PAPA has worked hard for change at thisairport and PAPA needs your support. This airport needs you.Please support the FBO’s that support us, the pilots. By sup-porting them you support the continued change and growthof the airport.

In addition to our president, PAPA board members spend countlesshours each month doing the business of our organization. Fromsafety meetings, to airport support, to scholarships, to webmaster,to membership, to financial, to Public Relations, to ATC Liaison, toPAPA SEZ, we’re hard at work for you!—Ed.

PAPA’s Short ApproachBy Lou J. Wipotnik, MCFI -ATP

Note: The following is reprinted from the NASA Aviation SafetyReporting System (ASRS).

“Right Turn, Wrong Time”In the following report, an ambiguous choice of words by thetower controller and a pilot’s failure to clarify the instructionscontributed to a wrong runway takeoff.

The active runway was 17. Intersection takeoffs werebeing used. I was at the Bravo intersection on Runway 17/35.From this position a left turn would yield a 3,500-foot takeoffon Runway 17 and a right turn would yield a 3,500-foot takeoffon Runway 35. Tower said, “Turn right. Cleared for takeoff.” Iread this back, turned right, and took off on Runway 35.

I should have realized that they wanted me to takeoff onRunway 17 and turn right after takeoff. I am not sure that thetower used standard terminology, but I have enoughexperience to have realized that they wanted a right turnafter takeoff. I should have asked for clarification.

According to the Controller’s Handbook (7110.65P), thecontroller should, “State the runway intersection whenauthorizing an aircraft to taxi into position to hold or whenclearing an aircraft for takeoff from an intersection”. Thephraseology, “123 Alpha, cleared for takeoff, Runway 17 atBravo, 3,500 feet available. Turn right after takeoff,’ wouldhave gone a long way toward eliminating any confusion.

Lou’s comments - I know for many of us 3,500 of runway ismore than sufficient for takeoff, unless there is a problem ondeparture. However, all the runway behind you is useless ifyou have a dilemma. How many of us do a pre-departurebriefing, to include:1) If anything at ALL is suspect - Abort!2) If airborne below 500 feet AGL, basically go straight ahead

or minimal turns to avoid hitting something head-on.3) Above 1000 feet AGL, possible turn back to land on

another runway, taxiway, or grassy surface on the airport.4) If I turn back - which way should I turn, depending on

the wind direction and speed?Note: The turn back is sometimes called “The Impossible Turn”and should be practiced at altitude with an instructor, forcompetency. But, should at least be considered on eachtakeoff.

Airport CourtesiesBy Lou J. Wipotnik, ATP - MCFI

At a recent airport runway incursion meeting, Signature FlightSupport mentioned they were having some problems withincoming and outgoing large aircraft, because of departingaircraft either running up or waiting for departure clearancefor runway 30 on the main ramp. If there is one or two aircraftwaiting on the ramp, large airplanes cannot come into themain ramp or maneuver for parking without difficulty. It isrequested that planes departing on 30, use Foxtrot taxiwayand leave the ramp free for Signature’s customers who maybe burning large amounts of JP4, awaiting parking or takeoff.This condition should only last until Signature’s new terminalis completed sometime in January 2006. If it’s a Sunday morning,and the ramp is free, no problem. Let’s all help one-another.

It was also noted, that vehicles going north on taxiwayTango (from the new T’s) and crossing the 5/6 ramp, are

traveling at too fast a speed for safety. There are many peopleand vehicles using this ramp, and caution must be observed.

The new Wig-Wag lights will be installed soon at mosttaxiways crossing runway 16/34. These light are to alert usthat we are coming to a major intersection and must observehold short lines unless cleared to cross. If you are ever indoubt about a clearance to cross, STOP, and verify with ATC.Your life and certificate could depend on it.

PAPA, FBO’s Team up For RecordBy Richard Steinbrecher

The long awaited Discover Flying Day at Palwaukee looked iffyfor PAPA’s Young Eagles rally scheduled for that Saturday. Fri-day evening before the big day we were between two weatherfrontal systems; one edging its way through the Chicago area,and one not far behind sagging down from northern Wiscon-sin. Both promised rain and low ceilings effectively putting thekibosh on flights for kids. But weather prediction is not anexact science (yet). At 6:30AM Saturday morn, a tentative sunpeeked through the broken cloud layer in the eastern sky andthe terminal forecast at O’Hare sounded optimistic. So a hastycall was made to Laura, the Young Eagles hotline coordinatorthat morning at North American Jet signaling a “go” for therally. As the morning progressed, the broken layer became scat-tered and the scattered layer gave way to a nearly cloudlessnoontime sky; albeit not without bringing some strong windsout of the northwest. Incidentally, “albeit,” a favorite word ofpretentious radio and print journalists these days, merely means“although” in German and is pronounced not “all-be-it,” but“ahl-bite.” But I digress.

With customary zeal, the intrepid band of PAPA Young Eaglesground volunteers and pilots, benefiting from referrals offeredby the Discover Flying Day exhibitors in Hangar 10, took aloftmore kids than ever before at Palwaukee. When everythingwas said and done, a record 95 youngsters joined the ranks ofthe EAA’s Young Eagles. The morning began with 70 youngstersscheduled throughout the day. First flights were off at 10:00and by 11:30, we had already passed the 60 mark. The 94th and95th youngsters taxied back to the NAJ ramp at about 2:30where a small ceremony was in progress to recognize a dedi-cated airman who is departing the Chicago area for new digs inVirginia. Tim Lent has been with PAPA’s Young Eagles programfrom the beginning and was frequently the high scorer withthe number of kids he flew. Tim’s selfless dedication to theprogram will be sorely missed around PWK.

Another Young Eagles regular who’s bound for greater ifnot greener pastures, is Jim “JD” Moss—it’s pretty dry wherehe’s going. He’s relocating to Las Vegas to manage the newCDW Computer site there. JD has been the master ramp mar-shal since the Young Eagles program at Meigs Field in 1996. JDmarshaled everything from a Breezy to a B-24 to a GrummanAlbatross there, and has kept the Young Eagles ramp sortedout at PWK ever since Chicago Mayor Richard Daley’s brutality.JD’s dedication at Oshkosh each year is legendary.

As I’ve said many times, the Young Eagles Program couldnot exist if it were not for the dedication of the ground volun-teers. Of course the same could be said for the pilots, but theground volunteers make the flights happen for the pilots. Eachchild taken aloft is the result of the efforts of a minimum of 3,often 4 or 5 volunteers. From scheduling to check-in to dis-patch to ramp marshaling to certificate processing, these folks

QUIZ ANSWERS1.True2.A. IFR traffic.3.B. Line of sight.4.B. Mayday-Mayday-Mayday is the Emergency distress call.5.C. You’re never lost, just slight disorientated.6.C. If flight INTO a thunderstorm in not an emergency, I don’t know what

is?7.False. If you’re already established on a frequency with ATC, stay with

them and declare your emergency.8.B. If possible have them assist you in prayer.9.A. Did you read “NOT?”10.A. In most cases, paperwork is not required. Even if it was required,

take care of all the kids for the pilots. Discover Flying Day’sYoung Eagles rally could not have gone forward without JanWipotnik, Jim Robbs, Claudia Steinbrecher, Sheila Macomber,new volunteer John Hanusin and JD Moss. I addition to yourstruly, Pilots Rob Hillerich, Tim Lent, Mark Odeen, Scott Larson,Armand Bendersky, Ken Lozins and Dick Tennerstedtacounted for the record 95 Young Eagles. Heartiest thanksto all!

A hearty round of applause also goes to the crew at NAJwho assist us every way they can in turning their graciouslobby into “Young Eagles For a Day” four times a year. PamKavanaugh and her crew once again provided the YoungEagles hotline, sought out and scheduled the kids, providedthe ramp space and coordinated the NAJ line folks.

Signature Flight Support’s Al Palicki is nothing if not sup-portive of Young Eagles. Ask him, and it gets done with asmile. Al gladly cleared Signature ramp space for Young Eaglesaircraft when the rally took place at hangar one last fall. ForDiscover Flying Day, Al encouraged Young Eagles pilots with adollar off discount on 100LL fuel.

Without the generosity and encouragement ofPalwaukee’s FBO’s, PAPA’s Young Eagles program would notenjoy nearly the success it has seen. From time-to-time weneed to remember that our FBO’s go to great lengths tohelp us as an organization and as individuals. PAPA encour-ages its members to use Palwaukee’s FBO’s services when-ever they can. Remember, North American Jet and Signa-ture Flight Support are businesses—they deserve our thanksand our support.
