Airport Commission Recap May 20, 2026 -The 2 new commissioners are now official. There are now 5 commission members. The historic traffic pattern altitude of 800 feet AGL as well as noise abatement of only 3 in pattern were discussed. The changes will probably be published in the July chart supplement. The 800 foot traffic pattern altitude has been in effect since 1986, it was a NOTAM (notice to airmen) that was a change to 1000 feet and pushed the flights over historic Clarkdale. Hopefully returning to the historic traffic pattern will keep the flight training over the Cottonwood areas were there are avigation easements.

Verde Valley Aviation Impact Relief VVAIR
We are a community of residents, homeowners, and business owners who are adversely impacted by recent developments at Cottonwood Airport.
The substantial rise in repetitive flight training operations, along with the administrative changes made by the airport over the last two years, has broadened the areas impacted, and, significantly diminished the quality of life for many in our community.
VVAir is not anti-airport. Rather, we are a fact-based, goal-oriented group working towards constructive, realistic solutions for Verde Valley residents.
