Hello,

Airport Management has suggested raising the pattern altitude  at GAI to 1000 
AGL (approximately 1530 MSL) instead of the current 800 AGL (1330  MSL), 
primarily for noise abatement reasons.

The pattern altitude change  is proposed to go into effect August 5th 
(coincident with a new edition of the  A/FD).

MCAA is in favor of the proposed change, since it will help reduce  noise to 
our neighbors and, if anything, will have a beneficial safety effect  since we 
will have a couple hundred extra feet of altitude in the  pattern.

Prior to the official decision, John Luke (airport manager as of  March 1, 
2004) is soliciting comments on the proposed change - please feel free  to 
contact John with any comments you may have.  His email address is:  
JohnLuke3@xxxxxxx

Thanks,
MCAA Board
