Plano Pilot
Line Up and Wait
Ever since they started building the new Galaxy FBO there has been one raising the minimums for the ILS to 34 by 220 feet and 3/8 of a mile. Galaxy has been built for a while now. So yesterday I started investigating. I drove around looking for the crane and could not find one. Then I talked to the airport officials, and they told me to call the tower, which I did. Very nice guy said he would check into it. This morning it was removed and later the tower called me thanking me for bringing it to their attention.
I started investigating because I thought we might need the lower minimums for our return trip today, I did not. Bad news is there is another building that is going to be constructed southeast of the airport, so another NOTAM will be issued soon but I do not know when or how much it will affect us.
Original NOTAM that kept refreshing:
KADS 2/1233 ADS IAP ADDISON, DALLAS, TX. ILS OR LOC RWY 34, AMDT 3C... S-ILS 34 DA 1115/HAT 470 ALL CATS. VIS 1 3/8 ALL CATS. TEMPORARY CRANE, 820 MSL, 716 FT NE OF APCH END RWY 34 (2020-ASW-1820-NRA). 2212071629-2307191629
