NOVATO, Calif. — Scanlon Aviation will host a safety awareness weekend at Gnoss Field Oct. 22–25. Headlining the event is Master Instructor Rich Stowell, the 2014 National FAASTeam Rep of the Year and 2006 National CFI of the Year.

Aviation users of Gnoss Field got some good news and bad news earlier in February for the long-delayed runway extension.

On February 11, the good news came from the Marin County Board of Supervisors who voted 5-0 to certify the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for an 1,100 foot extension of runway 13/31. The certification vote allows the project to move forward through its many steps toward lengthening the runway to 4,400 feet.
