January Focus: Heaters in Hangars

 

As winter approaches and the temperatures drop, it's a good time to review the airport's policy regarding portable heaters in hangars. As a fellow pilot, I know how nice it is to preflight in a warm hangar and then climb into a warm aircraft. As a reminder, the airport's current hangar lease allows for the use of portable electric heaters while the hangar/aircraft is attended. However, during a recent fire extinguisher inspection, airport employees found several hangars in violation of the policy. Portable electric heaters were found running on high settings while unattended, and multiple-element heaters, radiators and heaters were being used in engine compartments. Multiple heaters were also discovered next to propane bottles and flammable items.


Airport policy addressing the operation of electric heaters is very specific as it’s an issue of safety – for the protection of your property and the adjacent hangars. Any use beyond this policy raises the risk of fire and is unacceptable. 



During future inspections, if airport employees find operating portable electric heaters unattended (other than those permanently installed on the aircraft), they will be turned off and a violation letter will be issued. Continued breach of the policy may result in the termination of the hangar lease agreement.

Fly Friendly


In an effort to be a good neighbor, Lee’s Summit Airport asks pilots to consider following some simple recommendations consistent with safety. Piloting choices impact the community’s perception of the airport and the City of Lee’s Summit. Pilots may only fly in and out once, but Lee’s Summit residents live, work, play and relax daily. As always, operate aircrafts in a safe and friendly manner.

  • When using Runway 11/29, consider keeping traffic patterns close to the airport to reduce or possibly avoid flying over residential areas south of the airport.
  • Whenever possible, avoid repeated takeoffs and landings between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m.
  • If practical, try to reduce repeated overflights of the residential areas north and south of the airport when practicing takeoffs and landings.
