Utah GA Community Under Fire From Ogden Airport Decision-Makers

Yet Another GA Airport Seems Undervalued And Underappreciated By Myopic Airport Managers

There is yet another fight brewing over a GA airport -- this time, in Utah. So big a fight, in fact, that a once-forgotten airport group has reconstituted itself to prepare to battle for the future of the Ogden-Hinckley airport and the rights of its pilots and users. The Ogden Regional Airport Association was brought back to life to start a series of legal and class action efforts against Ogden Airport and City officials that seem intent on changing the rules and jacking up rates with great frequency and severity. At least one law suit has reportedly just been filed.

Descending Through About 1,250 Ft, The Engine Started To Run Rough And Gradually Lost Power

On May 11, 2021, at 1500 central daylight time, a Beech C23, N793Y, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Merrill, Wisconsin. The pilot and passenger had minor injuries. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight. The pilot reported that he was returning to the airport after a 1-hour flight. When the airplane was about 5 miles from the airport, and descending through about 1,250 ft, the engine started to run rough and gradually lost power. The pilot switched fuel tanks and magnetos, with no change in the power loss.
