Olive Branch (MS) Opens Tower

Memphis / Olive Branch, Mississippi  Airspace Changes Presented by Memphis Air Traffic Control

Olive Branch, MS will become Class D airspace when their new tower opens in the next few months. This will be a major change and may result in confusion or quite some time as pilots and controllers learn the new system.  Memphis Air Traffic Control will be  working with the new tower, corporate operators, flight schools and area pilots to make the transition as smooth as possible.

Each meeting will address issues including operations at controlled  airports with emphasis on procedures to be used at Olive Branch, delays in charting updates, pilots with outdated charts, proper phraseology, traffic flow control, collision avoidance and pilot/controller responsibilities.
