I'm hoping to fly in Friday with my son in the back seat and wife following in the minivan.  Really looking forward to seeing the country and finally meeting some of yous guys in person.  The plan is to trailer the F2 to Sedona AZ and take a relatively short flight from there - looks like a beautiful trip.  What frequency does everyone use for MV traffic?  Do I need to call Gouldings before flying in (since it's private)?  Any other advice for a first time MV trip?

 

 Thanks,

 Dan G

If I remember correctly, CTAF is 122.9  While technically you need to ask first, no one does, and we have never been questioned.  The entire runway is paved now  , and they are getting used to traffic coming and going with tourist spending money.  Advise? Fly safe, meet new friends, and have a wonderful time.

Dan G:

  

 Here is Airnav's page on Monument Valley  Airport.

  

 http://www.airnav.com/airport/UT25

  

 Runway 16/34 is now paved.

  

 Land 16, take off 34 always, regardless of the  wind.  However, if the wind is blowing hard enough the wrong way for a safe  take off, you probably do not need to be flying.  There is plenty of room  to take off to the south in a Kolb, with 4,000 feet of pavement prior to the 800  foot high vertical rock face, if it was absolutely necessary.

  

 122.9 CTAF.

  

 I noticed John W provided the current aerial photo  of MV Airport.

  

 I have never gotten prior permission to land at  MV.  If you call for info at the desk, it will only confuse them and  you.  Have never had anyone ask for my "permission slip".

  

 Note:  Field elevation is 5,192 feet, a tad  less than a mile high.  This elevation has snuck up on some folks landing  at MV.

  

 Have a fun, safe flight.

Added note.  

   

Land to the south runway 16.  takeoff to the north runway 34.  last year runway 16 was labeled RB.  

   

When landing runway 16 it will be up hill,  the south end of the runway is about 150 ft higher than the north end.  

   

Hazard   -   800' agl Mesa   -   south of the runway.  

   

Pattern Altitude   6000 ft mls      800 ft agl.  

   

The airport is used by commercial tour operators,   twin otters, Cessna caravans, and others,,,   it can get busy at times.    Be carefull.

Thanks everyone for the info.  Another question - what do they have for tie downs at MV?  Are there plenty of anchors in the ground or do I need to bring something?

Dan G:

  

 Tie downs cables are installed at  Goudings.

  

 Always a good idea to have your own tie downs that  will work in dirt and rock, and a way to get them in the ground.  Never  know when you might have to tie down your airplane enroute.

Gang:

  

 I forgot to mention, you will need to bring your  own ropes to tie to the cables at Gouldings.

There are 2 long cables anchored into the ground that you can tie YOUR          tie down ropes to.  One year when we arrived I tried to twist some tie downs in  with no luck…  they had just re done the tie down area and had not re installed the cables,,   when they saw all the planes arriving,,, they quickly got the cables re installed.
