Heads up, pilots! Runway 02/20 at Truckee Tahoe Airport is scheduled for temporary closures November 16–18 to allow an engineering team to perform FAA VASI (Visual Approach Slope Indicator) adjustments on Runway 20.

Anticipated closures are Monday, November 16, from 1–6 PM, Tuesday, November 17, from 8 AM–5 PM, and Wednesday, November 18, from 8 AM–5 PM. The runway may reopen earlier each day if work is completed ahead of schedule. An FAA flight check is anticipated for November 18 or 19 following the adjustments.

All dates and times are subject to change based on work progress and FAA coordination. We'll share updates as they become available. As always, pilots should check current NOTAMs before flying, as NOTAMs take precedence.

Tomorrow, October 29, from 3–7 AM, crews will be conducting weed removal work within the Runway Safety Area (RSA). The runway will remain OPEN, with personnel and equipment working nearby. A NOTAM will be in effect. Please review all current NOTAMs and use caution.

Runway 02/20 at the Truckee Tahoe Airport will be closed for approximately two hours on Wednesday, October 21, from 1–3 PM local time for scheduled runway maintenance and Operations staff training.

The Airport Traffic Control Tower will remain operational during the closure.

Pilots are reminded to check current NOTAMs before operating at KTRK. Posted NOTAMs always take precedence over this notice.

Truckee Tahoe Airport (KTRK) will be closed Thursday, September 17, from 7:00 PM through 7:00 AM Friday morning, except for firefighting and emergency operations.

The temporary overnight closure is being implemented to maintain the highest level of safety while extensive firefighting aircraft, personnel, maintenance crews, equipment, and vehicles are staged at the airport in support of the Floriston Fire.

Pilots operating at KTRK during the day Thursday should use extreme caution and expect transient parking to be located near the Tower.

Alpha Taxiway is closed from the Runway 11 run-up area through Foxtrot until further notice.

Pilots should monitor current NOTAMs for the latest airport closures, restrictions, and operational information.

We appreciate everyone’s cooperation as firefighting crews continue their work from KTRK.

Due to hazardous wind conditions, this Saturday’s Free Mountain Flying Course has been postponed. We’re working to identify a new date that allows us to bring back the same high-quality flight instructors originally scheduled for the event. We’ll announce the rescheduled date as soon as it’s confirmed. Thank you for your understanding, and as always, fly safe.
