Dig a big pit for the water to drain to. Use the material to build up the runway. Think about large parking lots with a drainage pond.

@fly8ma.comflighttraining199 2 года назад

Good call...we're doing a ditch to mine gravel lengthwise along the runway for the 1,800' strip (less distance to move the material). We will eventually end up with a big gravel pit in one of the lower spots on the property that will fill with water

@AmeliorateAviation 2 года назад

Wow, this is incredible! Such a huge fan and totally love this project! Thanks for filling us all in on the Build Project!

@fly8ma.comflighttraining199 2 года назад

Thanks for follwing along!

@billbrisson Год назад

Grader was on the field at my runway this week...stay tuned for updates :)

@AbdulazizAlmawash 2 года назад

Can't wait to see that pop up on FAA' VFR chart

@Mobev1 2 года назад

As a developer and builder get the correct tools and hire a surveyor

@user-ml2iq7wj1o 2 года назад

Love the reality of this video. Literally EVERY project we do on property is minimum of week when thought it would be a day. Every project,no matter how much planning was involved, has dozens of costly and unexpected learning lessons. It gives me an insanely new appreciation and respect for tradesfolk. It's amazing how many interconnected variables are involved in every [seemingly] small decision. Anyway, Runway is in 5 year plan. Kudos and congrats on the rural retreat

@fly8ma.comflighttraining199 2 года назад

Certainly a lot more time and $ than anticipated, but super fun and rewarding in the end!

@pirep777 2 года назад

Big project, big challenges to overcome. That's what will make the finished project so incredibly satisfying.

@fly8ma.comflighttraining199 2 года назад

Certainly will when it is all done!

@smacfe 10 месяцев назад

Wow, very ambitious! I built a 2200 foot runway, crowned and with proper drainage. Rolled it flat and smooth. Big issue here was clearing the thousands of rocks out. I’m sure you will be as proud of your work as I am of mine. Makes All the work maintaining it worth it.

@noah5889 2 года назад

Yes pt. 2! Looks great, keep up the great work. Hope to maybe come one day when I hopefully fulfill my Alaskan flying dream🤘🏼

@jbl7092 2 года назад

Any "skeeters" up there, lol? Love to visit someday. You are a credit to the instructor profession. Thanks so much for the free ground school. It's really helped me.

@david.b4186 4 месяца назад

You could also plant Mushrooms to open up the soil structure with their mycelium roots and thus, improve drainage by opening soil pores.

@fly8ma.comflighttraining199 4 месяца назад

Good to know, we are actually getting ready to spread seed for grass to help with how dusty I gets.

@ItsKibet 2 года назад

One of my dreams.Buy a property and build my own runway. This is awesome 👌

@fly8ma.comflighttraining199 2 года назад

It's been a dream of ours for a while and now a reality!

@jdub_u 2 года назад

I have been following and actually got my pilot license! Great place can’t wait to see it in operation!

@DJG_Official 7 месяцев назад

As someone that wants to build my own private runway myself , thoroughly enjoyed this, can’t wait to take on the project

@fly8ma.comflighttraining199 7 месяцев назад

Good luck and have fun!

@MarkHeckler 2 года назад

Thanks for sharing your progress Jon, great to see it! Your place is on my future list of destinations so I'm watching with great interest. 😃🙌

@kevincollins8014 2 года назад

Wow it's coming right along in my opinion. That's an amazing place for sure. Alaska is such a beautiful state.

@fly8ma.comflighttraining199 2 года назад

Certainly making progress! This was back in October 2021, so we're moving quick. We'll get another update posted here soon!

@rwrigdon 2 года назад

Best of luck on that runway. We’ll follow the progress from here in St. Louis. Hoping it all works out for ya. 🙂

@fly8ma.comflighttraining199 2 года назад

At least we're headed in the right direction! Thanks for following along!

@budowens6478 2 года назад

Lot of hard work, it will be nice when finished.

@fly8ma.comflighttraining199 2 года назад

Certainly will! At least it is a fun learning experience

@mikercflyer7383 2 года назад

Nice to see you back good luck with your “little” project.

@JEstrada15 2 года назад

I’ve been following for a little while. I live up in Fairbanks, I hope one day I can go down for some awesome training. Excited to see the finished product!

@fly8ma.comflighttraining199 2 года назад

Come by and say Hi sometime!

@thomascook5788 2 года назад

Now I feel bad for asking for an update on Facebook. You have been busy. Inspiring work John!

@fly8ma.comflighttraining199 2 года назад

Haha...thank you! Glad to finally get an update posted on here...should have more current stuff posted up soon!

@Heysupdan 2 года назад

Great commentary

@matteogeem896 2 года назад

Thanks for the update, What a job!

@fly8ma.comflighttraining199 2 года назад

It's been fun! We'll try to get caught up on video editing and get some more current updates here soon!

@AkPacerPilot 2 года назад

Sweet… it’s been awesome seeing the transformation at your place, dirt work is slow…

@fly8ma.comflighttraining199 2 года назад

MUUCCHHH SLOOWWER than expected...lol

@emesny 2 года назад

What’s the plan for the surface? Dirt, gravel or turf? Would love to hear more about how you grade and the tools to make straight, if that’s a goal. Congrats on all the progress!

@fly8ma.comflighttraining199 Год назад

Initially, I wanted grass, but it will likely just be gravel. Easier to maintain and fix...inevitably there is always ruts, holes, etc that need fixing

@kurdbender 4 месяца назад

this is my dream

@imbiniam8866 2 года назад

Keep on inspiring us.

@dr.strangelove7739 6 месяцев назад

Just found your channel and I subscribed!

@fly8ma.comflighttraining199 6 месяцев назад

Awesome! Thank you! We'd appreciate you sharing it with your friends!

@dr.strangelove7739 6 месяцев назад

Will do.

@dr.strangelove7739 6 месяцев назад

I wish I lived close to you. I would volunteer my time operating your dozer to make nice long, wide, straight runways for you!.

@fly8ma.comflighttraining199 6 месяцев назад

You can always come up to Alaska for a couple weeks in the summer!

@BearMeat4Dinner Год назад

I need to build a couple runways on my property... Was. it hard? I kinda want to do it myself.. looks like it'll be fun!!!

@user-ez9ex8hx6v 8 месяцев назад

Got it thank you watched video

@MiddleCreekFarms 7 месяцев назад

Any update to this? I got to see the mud bath he is eluding to! What did you have to do to address it? Better dirt? More drainage?

@fly8ma.comflighttraining199 7 месяцев назад

Please revisit some of out latest update videos on the project to see what we are up to.

@johnnyallthecash2742 2 года назад

how many acres is the property?

@SimonAmazingClarke 2 года назад

Erm, just a comment. Are you having DC3s flying in? That runway looks awfully wide. Looks like you are having fun.

@fly8ma.comflighttraining199 2 года назад

Haha...probably not DC-3s, but when we plow in the winter we need the width to have somewhere to put the snow. It ended up getting pretty narrow this winter with 4' tall snow berms

@user-ez9ex8hx6v 8 месяцев назад

Okay ✅

@melissasalasblair5273 Год назад

Thanks so much!! 2:32 - 2:36 🟢

@pepsilaron Год назад

I had an engineer shoot center line… just eyeballed the rest

@saeedabduljabar2999 Год назад

How do you keep from having other pilots land on your private runway?

@Coastmac2001 23 дня назад

1100mtrs on each should be a decent amount of length

@picflight Год назад

You need an engineer on site, it will save you resources.

@lornebooker9001 Год назад

Did you know that you can make good ditches using a grader? Here is a playlist from Jpaydirt on how to plan and build irrigation ditches. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-k8MZcq3UEv8.html
