New Century AirCenter Airport (IXD)
New Century AirCenter (IXD) is a medium sized, primarily general and corporate aviation airport located five miles southwest of Olathe and just northeast of Gardner in the state of Kansas. In addition to corporate and general aviation and numerous flight schools in the area, the Army Reserve has a squadron of CH-47 Chinook helicopters based there. The diverse mix of pilot experience and aircraft capabilities, combined with the fact that the tower does not have radar surveillance capability, makes New Century AirCenter a complex environment for controllers and pilots alike. Accurate pilot position reports when inbound to the airport are essential when arriving at IXD. Pilots arriving from the east must also be aware of Johnson County Executive (KOJC) located 7 miles to the east of New Century. Both airports have associated class Delta airspace, and first time visitors need to be aware of the airspace and communication requirements associated with each one.
