FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Temporary Air Traffic Control Tower to be Established at McCall Airport
McCall, Idaho - July 28th, 2024 - To ensure the safety of all aviation activities during increased fire operations, the U.S. Forest Service Aviation Manager and McCall Airport have agreed to establish a temporary air traffic control tower. The tower is expected to be operational within the next two days.
As soon as frequency information is available, it will be posted at both airport gates and communicated promptly.
In the interim, we request that General Aviation (GA) pilots avoid flying unless absolutely necessary. If flying is unavoidable, please note that fire aircraft will have priority in the airspace. Pilots are urged to maintain heightened situational awareness and prioritize safety.
This measure is crucial to provide air traffic control during heightened fire activity, ensuring safe operations for fire support, commercial operators, and GA pilots alike.
