PHOENIX GATEWAY AIRPORT (IWA)
To All,
Attached below are graphics showing an area where
extra traffic vigilance is recommended.
Background: Large Turbojet traffic is increasing at
IWA. These aircraft, when departing RWY 30, are initially assigned a right turn
to heading 090° and a climb to 4,000MSL. The reason for this is the proximity to
PHX traffic. When PHX is landing to the west, PHX arrivals from the south and on
extended downwind are assigned 5,000 MSL to be retained in the Class B Airspace
over IWA. Therefore it is not uncommon for Large Turbojet aircraft departing IWA
to level at 4,000 MSL until beyond the PXR 20 DME arc before continuing climb.
Aircraft operating in the area within the circled area
below 5,000 MSL on the attached graphics should exercise extra vigilance for
traffic conflicts. When the hot weather returns, climb rates will be reduced and
departure traffic at lower altitudes can be reasonably expected.
The TRACON frequency for the airspace east of IWA is
124.9. However this sector is frequently combined to the 123.7 sector until
traffic requires it being split. Initial contact on 124.9 will put you in
contact with the controller that has responsibility for that airspace.
