Preferred Helicopter Routes Map
- Request one of six VFR/SVFR fly friendly arrival/departure routes (Flood Basin is preferred for noise abatement).
- Departures climb to 1,300’ MSL prior to departing airport.
- Arrivals maintain 1,300’ MSL until reaching airport.

Waste Oil Recycling
For the convenience of our tenants and pilots, we offer waste oil, fuel filter and sump gas recycling sites. These sites are located at the below listed locations (click here for map):
- MPG Aviation, Inc. ramp near the vehicle entrance
- TXL "B1" east of Helinet Aviation Services.
- TXL “B2” on the south side of temporary Prop Park East
- Attended continuously
- Closed to air carrier operations, airport not FAR part 139 certified.
- Turbulence may be encountered above blast fence, located 115 feet north of Rwy 16R and 185 feet west of 16R centerline.
- Birds on and in vicinity of airport.
- Left traffic for Rwy 16R when the tower is closed.
- No public ramp or terminal. Pilots must coordinate their operations with the FBO of their own choice.
- Aircraft Wash Rack available on the north side of TXL “B1”
