HARVEY FIELD NOISE
& SAFETY PROCEDURES
INTRODUCTION:
It is understood that safety considerations, weather
and FAA rules may at times require deviation from
these procedures. Safety is PARAMOUNT.
While following the noise abatement procedure for
runways 33L/R over-flight of the city and residential
area on Avenues I and J should be avoided when safe
operation permits. When departing Runways
33L and 33R, climb straight ahead, tracking the
extended RUNWAY CENTERLINE
and turn to a heading of 290 degrees "after" crossing
the railroad tracks and "before" the river as safe
operation permits. When departing the airport
traffic area on the left "45" off runway 33L/R,
pilots are to remain north of the river/railroad.
Arrival traffic inbound on the "45" for runway 33L/R
should remain south of the railroad tracks to avoid
departing traffic. No northerly turns until west
of the power lines and above 1000 ft.
While departing to the south simply follow the recommendations
of the FAA Aeronautical Information Manual.
Section 4.3.2 (c) states, "Departure Leg" - The
flight path begins after takeoff and continues straight
ahead along the extended runway centerline.
The departure climb continues until reaching a point
at least 1/2 mile beyond the departure end of the
runway and within 300 feet of the traffic pattern
altitude. When departing on runway 15, climb
straight ahead, tracking the extended RUNWAY CENTERLINE
until reaching 700 feet before turning on the crosswind
if remaining in the pattern, or, at least 1000 feet
before turning on course if departing the pattern.
Remember a measure of good piloting skill is the
ability to maintain a straight track after takeoff.
Obviously, this is an important skill when operating
at parallel runways such as Paine Field and Harvey
Field, for example. Also, an early
turn or drift to the west after takeoff can lead
to a nose-to-nose confrontation with traffic inbound
on the "45" over or near the landfill area.
THE LOCAL SITUATION:
Successful airports must value and maintain good
relations with their neighboring community.
This relationship will continue to benefit Harvey
Field as well as the City of Snohomish. Pilots
strive to enhance and build good relations with
fellow aviators. This practice should not
be exclusive to those who share our passion for
aviation but should also include the neighbors of
Harvey Field. With this in mind we must make
every attempt to educate the pilot community on
the HF noise abatement procedures. We MUST
always be considerate and concerned.
Adherence to the noise abatement procedure for runways
33L/R and 15L/R will continue the difference that
pilots are making in maintaining quieter skies for
the residents of Snohomish. When the turn
to 290 degrees is made when departing to the north
on 33L/R, a pilot increases their distance from
the noise-sensitive area, diminishing the impact
on residents of Avenues I and J. Likewise,
when following the noise abatement procedure after
departing runway 15L/R, residents of 111th
street to the south are appreciative. Please
be courteous and aware of noise concerns and residential
areas when departing or landing at Harvey Field.
Through the years the owners and managers of Harvey
Field along with individual pilots and pilot groups
have been pro-active in educating the pilot community
on noise abatement procedures at Harvey Field.
The success of this effort has not led us to be
complacent. Please continue to follow the
published noise abatement procedures and help us
to educate other pilots on this issue. Being a good
neighbor will protect the future of our airport.
Thank you for your cooperation and help.
