Upcoming Runway Construction & Closures

Good Morning,

 

In preparation for the continued Runway 5-23 Rehabilitation Project, MMU has scheduled construction for Runway 5-23 and Runway 13-31.

 

The first work will entail repair to a pot hole on the access road for the approach light system at the end of Runway 23. In order to repair this, it is required that Runway 5-23 be closed. We will also use this closure to perform some routine maintenance and painting on the runway.

 

The second half of the work, will entail milling and paving an overlay of 2,000 feet on Runway 13-31.

 

The following closures are currently scheduled:

 

MMU will be closed to fixed-wing aircraft on Saturday, August 4th from 0800L to 0900L to accommodate painting in the intersection of both runways.

The rain date for this closure will be Saturday, August 18th from 0800L to 0900L

 

Runway 5/23 will be closed on Saturday, August 4th from 0900L to 1400L.

Update of New Approach Plate for RNAV (GPS) RWY5

On July 18, 2018, the FAA published a new approach plate for RNAV (GPS) RWY5. The new approach plate has the following changes:

Runway 5 N/A at night

GP 3.77 degrees

Category D N/A

Beginning in June of 2018, the Airport (DM AIRPORTS, LTD) and FAA had several communications to discuss these items during the comment period. As a result of those communications, the airport requested the following changes be made:

  • N/A for night to be removed. There are no 20:1 obstruction issues at this time.
  • GP of 3.66 as proposed by the Airport, due to Terrain issues on the approach to Runway 5 that cannot be mitigated.
  • A request that minimums for CAT D aircraft be added under the nonvertically-guided LNAV and for circling.

Unfortunately, our comments were not advanced as of the publishing on July 18 and these items were not incorporated into the new approach plate. The Airport is currently working with the FAA Flight Procedures group to address these concerns.

We will keep everyone advised as we receive additional information. Should you have any questions, please contact Darren Large at 973-538-6400 ext. 135.

 

Thank you
