This pilot education meeting will have two “What Would You Do?” scenarios. The IMC scenario involves a night IFR flight where the engine fails and the closest airport within gliding distance has both runways closed.  The VMC scenario involves a daytime VFR flight into deteriorating weather by an inexperienced pilot who becomes spatially disoriented.

Our first pilot education meeting of 2026 will be held Wednesday, January 7th at 7 pm.  This meeting will have two “What Would You Do?” scenarios, both of which involve flying at night. The IMC scenario involves an IFR flight to an uncontrolled airport on an island, where a last minute complication occurs with the runway in sight.  The VMC scenario involves an instrument failure shortly after takeoff.

Our online pilot education meeting for December will have two “What Would You Do?” scenarios. The IMC scenario involves an IFR flight where a partial power loss occurs during an instrument approach.  The VMC scenario involves pattern practice with an unusually large number of aircraft in the pattern, including one who appears to not see you while very close to you on a parallel track.

All are invited to participate. To join this event, click the link below at 7pm PST on Thursday, December 4th:​

This pilot education meeting will have two “What Would You Do?” scenarios. The IMC scenario involves an IFR flight where the autopilot malfunctions during an instrument approach.  The VMC scenario involves a flight in a minimally equipped Cessna where on a long VFR cross country navigating by pilotage you cannot find the destination airport and remaining fuel is low.

Valued Airport Customer,
We are informing you that we will be closing the Airport runway and helipad Wednesday 9/24/25 from 1:30pm until 6:00pm. The purpose of this closure is to perform a drone survey of tarmac and taxiway area shown on the attached drawing. The drawing shows the boundaries of the future proposed crack seal and slurry seal project.  We will be performing a drone survey of this entire area. Because of this survey, this will requires a closure of the airport (runway and helipad) as there will be a drone overflying the airfield collecting imagery that will be utilized for the design of the crack seal project. The exact boundaries of crack  and slurry seal work will be determined by the available funding when the project goes out to bid in the Spring, but we will be surveying the entire area so that we have the data needed for any of it.  Actual construction is anticipated in Fall 2026 or Spring/Summer 2027.

In conjunction with this survey on 9/24/25, we will also be completing media work for the upcoming Speedfest event occurring in the Spring of 2026. This media work will include runway footage as well as exhibition footage of exotic cars on the runway and  taxiways throughout the Airport property. This media work will begin at 1:30pm and will be completed by 4:30pm.

Thank you,
Public Works
City of Lincoln
