SEVERAL BACKCOUNTRY AIRSTRIPS THREATENED IN SOUTHWEST
Backcountry airstrips in Arizona, Utah, and Nevada could be eliminated should
a federal resource management plan go through. At issue is the Arizona Strip,
a remote area that encompasses about five million acres of wilderness in the
three states. The draft plan states that only six "authorized" airstrips will
continue to be managed. However, there are at least 10 popular backcountry
airstrips that are not listed as "authorized," meaning they are in danger of
being eliminated. AOPA has been a longtime advocate for the protection of
backcountry airports and has led efforts to help federal agencies recognize the
critical value of these airports for both safety and remote area access. The comment
period for the Arizona Strip Draft Plan ends March 17. The Bureau of Land
Management and the National Park Service will then review all public comments
before implementing a final plan. AOPA urges all pilots interested in preserving
these unique backcountry airstrips to submit their comments for consideration.
Comments may be submitted via e-mail to Arizona_Strip(at)blm.gov or faxed to
435/688-3388. Written comments may be mailed to: Planning Team, Arizona Strip
District, 345 East Riverside Drive, St. George, UT 84790.

Thanks for the heads up Neita. This is the first I had heard of this issue
and I am absolutely in favor of keeping backcountry strips available for
aircraft use!
