FAA Bans Touch-and-Goes at Centennial Airport

# CPA Membership Synopsis

The FAA has banned touch-and-goes and restricted parallel departures at Centennial Airport (KAPA), citing potential conflicts between IFR and VFR traffic, but implemented these changes without issuing a NOTAM or ATIS update—raising concerns from AOPA about inadequate pilot notification. This restriction could significantly impact flight training operations at Colorado’s busiest general aviation airport and potentially shift training activity to other Front Range airports. Colorado pilots should verify current procedures at KAPA and consider how these limitations may affect their operations and local flight schools.
