Very impressive POV video coupled with 3-D animation map overlays! Not to mention the great Idaho scenery. Miss all the great folks I got to know over the years at the IDA when I was the Alabama Aeronautics Director. Y'all put on one of the best NASAO conferences I've ever attended in 2015. And the fly fishing was a dream come true for this back east flatlander.
Amazing video. Love the use of video, audio, and virtual path. Very professional and easy to understand. Johnson Creek is on my bucket list. Way to go Idaho!
Very beautiful area and probably a fun time…but there is absolutely nothing in me that wants to fly into these types of areas. Not throwing any shade. There are different types of pilots. Some fly fighters, some commercial, some backcountry, some do aerobatics, and some…(you get the point). I would love to go check this spot out, but just saying there is nothing in me that wants to fly to this spot. I’ll drive in or pass.
All this looping strikes me as irrational. Flying high to the side is to avoid canyons rising and closing on you, right? but that makes no sense in known terrain, it is simply self inflicted complexity. Any chance that's true?
The Bryant family has lived there for generations. They had an airstrip that they gifted to the state so that we could build up the facilities and invite more people to enjoy visiting the backcountry. They have pilots in the family too and love aviation. The family allows use of the trail across their property to things like the famous hot tub. They are good neighbors, and we want to be too. We illustrate the preferred takeoff, landing, and go-around paths in this video to help you enjoy your visit to Johnson Creek without endangering the people that live there.
The Bryant house is advertised as being “noise sensitive,” yet this film encourages flying patterns around the field (and there is always the guy/gal who shoves the prop control in and flies the pattern at a noise generating RPM) and there is no mention of a reasonable traffic pattern altitude due to the terrain. Because of this, most assume the standard FAA TPA flown is 1,000’ AGL, which is a setup for being high and fast on final (I see it all the time). If you remember that the normal profile is 300’/mile, the second ranch on final is one mile, so if you begin at 1,000’ AGL you’ll be way past this…making, essentially, a straight in and/or you will be high and fast on final. If you fly a 500’ AGL downwind, with flaps and at a commensurate speed, you will be closer to that 300’/mile profile, on speed, configured, stable and eliminate the need for a go around…further contributing to the noise and traffic confusion over the airport. Because of the terrain, trees, etc of backcountry airports a standard traffic pattern is not always possible or logical. Also, there are those backcountry strips that make go arounds on short final impossible. Planning the proper descent profile and “pattern,” on speed and on profile is the key. The problem is really exacerbated when a “flock” of aircraft flying somewhere for breakfast, mis-plan their descent and arrival, and then contribute to the mid-air possibility in the vicinity of the airport by buzzing around while trying to get down. Descent planning: 300’/mile as a general guide, to be adjusted according to local conditions. Sometimes slowing down with half flaps will steepen the profile and eliminate what I call “mid-air circling” over the airport. There is much more to the process than what is described in this film. FWIW…
I believe the Bryant's owned the airport and donated it to the public. I think they can have some say on this since they set the terms of the donation. I think you can just appreciate that someone donated this to the public and show your appreciation by trying to keep the noise down for the donator.

I watched the low wing high wing accident video that happened at jc years ago and wondered why you don't make it part of the landing regs to have highwing aircraft land further down the runway, low wing land close to the end,so they stay out of the low wing blind spots and don't end up being smashed from above by them.
@@jimclark6605 in the meantime the oppressed groups are driving Audis, BMWs, Mercedes, Escalades, Lexus, Accuras, etc while taxpayers continue to throw money at them, but that’s ok . Working folk aren’t allowed to have hobbies they pay for out of their own pockets
😂😂😂😂 there's something called Jeppesen and it contains lots of approach procedures with a high degree of accuracy and now is much more as procedures are no longer in paper but to be used on electronic devices.
