Columbia Metropolitan Airport (CAE) Runways 11-29 will be temporarily closed for taxiway reconstruction. As a result of this closure, Runways 5/23 will be used at CAE. Because of the close proximity of the Runway 23 final approach course to traffic departing Runway 31 at Jim Hamilton - LB Owens Downtown Airport (CUB), CAE ATC advises pilots departing CUB to:
1. Contact CAE ATC on 124.4 prior to takeoff;
2. Squawk the discrete transponder code CAE ATC issues;
3. Departing Rwy 31, turn left to a heading of 130 degrees and join the CUB Downwind for the Climb;
4. Then, contact CAE ATC on 124.15.
Following these procedures will prevent loss of separation with aircraft landing at CAE and aircraft departing CUB Runway 31 while complying with Noise Abatement Procedures.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact:
