Traffic Rules. i. All operations of aircraft should be conducted in accordance with Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (CFRs and SFARs) and the FAA Aeronautical Information Manual, with the following local variations noted: ii. The Leesburg Executive Airport is in Washington, DC Special Flight Rules Area (SFRA). As such, the FAA NOTAM must be followed for arrivals and departures to the Leesburg Maneuvering Area. iii. Runway 17 is designated as the ‘calm wind’ runway and shall be used whenever practical. When the winds are 3 knots or less, pilots should prioritize the use of Runway 17 to accommodate noise-sensitive areas to the north of the field. iv. All aircraft operating in the traffic pattern should remain clear of the Dulles Airport Class B airspace and maintain a pattern of left hand turns. v. All pilots shall make position reports in the pattern in consonance with the AIM and should refrain from using local landmarks EXCEPT for the blue water towers. That position report should be phrased as ‘blue water towers three miles northeast’ to assist transient pilots in the pattern. In all circumstances, avoid using any other local landmark. vi. Touch-and-go operations are permitted at such times as may be designated by the Airport Director. vii. All IFR approaches in VMC should be terminated before entering the pattern area.
