The number of arrivals and departures from the airport at Falcon Field Airport by type: local and itinerant. Local operations are aircraft that remain in the local traffic pattern, execute simulated instrument approaches or low passes at the airport, and the operations to or from the airport and a designated practice area within a 20−mile radius of the tower. Itinerant operations are aircraft, either IFR (Instrument Flight Rules), SVFR, or VFR (Visual Flight Rules), that lands at an airport, arriving from outside the airport area, or departs an airport and leaves the airport area. This data is sourced from information published by the Federal Aviation Administration (FFA) Operational Network Airport Code = FFZ. Reports IFR itinerant and VFR itinerant operations (arrivals and departures), and local operations at the airport as reported by Air Traffic Control Towers (ATCTs). It does not include overflights.

Information regarding runway checks our maintenance staff performs to ensure safety of the airfield. Runway inspections are when an employee drives the length of both taxiways and runways looking for and removing any foreign objects such as rocks from the surfaces.
