KTIW Tacoma Narrows — local VFR procedures
Not for navigation. These are locally published VFR routes, reproduced with sources; verify against the official documents linked from each procedure before flight.
Pierce County states it "has no control of how or where an aircraft flies once it is airborne" and that the FAA disallows the County from imposing restrictions on airborne aircraft. The County's Rules and Regulations are adopted by ordinance and carry an enforcement clause, but the noise item inside them is phrased advisorily ("Fly friendly. Be a good neighbor.") and no County text retrieved labels the noise abatement procedures either voluntary or mandatory.
VFR departures
Flow not stated in the source applicability unconfirmed
- Departure Centerline Callouts — Hold the extended centerline to 1,000 ft MSL or the golf course / mid-channel, whichever comes last.
Other local procedures
Runway 17 / 35
- Traffic Pattern Directions — Runway 17 standard left, runway 35 non-standard right — the right pattern exists as a noise abatement measure and to separate visual traffic from the instrument departure.
These routes are advisory as published — none of them is a regulation. Assigned by ATC in Class B, C or D airspace, a route becomes an ATC instruction under 14 CFR 91.123; “unable” remains available to the pilot in command. Each procedure page shows its own authority level and links its primary sources.
