Ramp Access
To access the flight line, members will need to obtain a Paine Field Badge (more info HERE). Without one, members can be escorted by a badge holding CFI or other BEFA member. Badge holders can drive onto central ramp using gates N-1 or N-2. Walking is also permitted (and recommended for students) using the pedestrian gate at N-2.
Flight Line
BEFA holds a row tie-downs on central ramp (85-89, 93). The hangar is located NW of the flight line (C-51). The hangar is used for Crew oil changes and aircraft storage. Parking available at end of hangars in yellow zones.
Hanger
To the right of the hangar doors is a lockbox with the hangar key inside. (same code as office). This key opens the lock on hangar doors as well as the side door seen in the first image. Ramps are required due to a small ledge in hangar floor. Before using hangar, reach out to a PAE focal for tutorial.
