Republic Airport (FRG)
Republic Airport (FRG) is a medium sized, primarily general and Business aviation airport located on New York's Long Island. Located just east of The Village of Farmingdale, the airport is approximately 15 miles east of JFK, and approximately 15 miles west of Long Island MacArthur Airport, located in the town of Islip. Farmingdale has non-standard shaped Class Delta airspace that extends from the surface to 2600 feet. The airspace also underlies the New York Class Bravo, and is just west of the Islip Class Charlie. Pilots flying into FRG for the first time need to thoroughly understand the different requirements for operating in this complex mix of airspace. The traffic mix consists of everything from basic flight training aircraft, all the way to air carrier class aircraft. There is a robust helicopter fleet as well, providing flight training along with several Medevac operations. Numerous flight schools are located on the airport as well. The diverse pilot experience levels, along with differing aircraft capabilities make Republic an interesting and complex airport for pilots and controllers. This video prepares pilots for hot spots, challenges and runway configuration details at FRG.
