General Aviation Security Checklist

All of us in the general aviation (GA) community are responsible for ensuring that our airports are safe and secure, but overtime we can become complacent. To serve as a call to action and in effort to shine the spotlight on AOPA’s Airport Watch program, AOPA has recently developed a General Aviation Security Checklist for pilots. This checklist is intended to get pilots thinking about protecting their aircraft and also to help begin the dialog with your airport manager and hangar neighbors on the small, but important things the general aviation community can do to protect our freedom to fly.

Welcome to the Canandaigua Airport

Welcome to the Canandaigua Airport

Your Community Airport has value and needs to be allowed to prosper like any other community asset, like the water front. Click on the Support GA link above to learn more about why General Aviation is important to your community.

Canandaigua Airport (D38) is a 3200 x 75 ft paved airstrip located just northwest of Canandaigua Lake in Central New York State. The runway orientation is 130 and 310 degrees with CTAF/UNICOM on 122.8 and field elevation is 814 ft. This airport is open to the public and is publicly owned by the Ontario County Industrial Development Agency. You can fuel up here with 100LL, Jet-A, or Jet-A w/ Prist.

The field is in a wonderfully scenic location that is surrounded by picturesque hills and the tranquil lakes of the Finger Lakes. This field can go from calm to being full of activity from flight training, Mercy Flight Central departures to the critically injured, or an occasional twin-engine plane or small business jet. For a small field, there are many services for aircraft owners and wannabe pilots alike.  You can catch an occasional pancake breakfast here, but come early since attendance seems to be growing each year.

If you have more information or history about the Canandaigua Airport, please feel free to forward your information to me for inclusion on this site. (Click Here)

Why is this site here?
This site is online to support general aviation and to encourage its growth here in the Finger Lakes area of New York State. We want to introduce young people into the fascinating world of aviation and the field of aeronautics, what better way than a day a local airfield.
