LAKE TAHOE TOWER LETTER TO AIRMEN N0. 962
SUBJECT: AREAS OF NONVISIBILITY FROM CONTROL TOWER
CANCELATION: October 1, 1998
Higher terrain and stands of tall pine trees create
areas of nonvisibility from the control tower in the north,
south and west quadrants of the traffic patterns. Traffic advisories
and sequencing in the traffic patterns are based on position reports
received from pilots in these effected areas. Pilots are urged
to make accurate position reports and to be vigilant for other
flight activity. The control tower may be unable to visually observe
traffic in these areas.
