Eagle's Nest Airport covers an area of 40 acres (16 ha) which contains one asphalt paved runway (6/24) measuring 2,009 x 50 ft (612 x 15 m). For the 12-month period ending March 31, 2007, the airport had 12,383 aircraft operations, an average of 33 per day: 92% general aviation and 8% air taxi. There are 68 aircraft based at this airport: 88% single-engine, 4% multi-engine and 7% glider.[1]
[edit] Flight School
Eagle's Nest operates a small flight school which currently offers flight instruction towards the private, instrument, and commercial ratings. The primary flight instructor is Caleb Waite, who holds a Bachelor of Science Degree from LeTourneau University in Aeronautical Science. He is qualified as a single-engine, multi-engine, and instrument instructor, and also works part-time as an aircraft mechanic in Eagle's Nests maintenance facility. Marianne Blair also is an instrument instructor at Eagle's Nest. [2]
Two Cessna 172M aircraft are available for rent: N19868 and N1766V. N1766V is a former police airplane, and N19868 was acquired in 2007 from a private owner. The rental rate as of June 2, 2010 is $97.00/hour, or $87.00/hr if prepaid in a 10-hour block. The flight school and FBO are also home to a mascot of sorts, a dog named Lexie.
Aerial tours of the Charlottesvile/Waynesboro/Shennandoah Valley area are available for $65.00 for a 1/2 hour in the FBO's C-182RG, often piloted by John Trissel.
