Introduction

A dramatic change in the use of Falcon Field is creating a potentially dangerous situation for families, schools, businesses and houses of worship in Northeast Mesa.

After operating for more than 50 years as a general aviation municipal airport for private pilots, small general aviation flight training schools and small corporate tenants, Falcon Field has become the nation's:

• 3rd busiest general aviation municipal airport
• largest European pilot training center for foreign pilots

With approximately 800 average daily landings between 5 a.m. and 9 p.m., and additional night-time flights, homeowners and families face:

• Significantly higher levels of noise and airplane-fuel generated pollution;
• The growing danger of flight accidents by young, inexperienced foreign student-pilots competing for space in a crowded sky; and
• Potential negative impact on property values and quality of life.

English is not the first language for most student pilots communicating with the control tower at Falcon Field, creating safety issues.

This website provides tools and resources to stay current with events at Falcon Field. Our goal is to work with City and other municipal officials to create positive, effective and long-lasting change.
