Frequently Asked Questions

Commonly asked questions about Dick-Scobee Field:

Q: I'm hoping to book a flight. Can I do that through your office?

A: As a general-aviation use airport, Auburn does not offer commercial service. Travelers normally use Seattle-Tacoma International (SEA) when arranging air travel.

Q: Who currently owns and operates the Auburn Airport?

A: The Airport is owned and maintained by City of Auburn and its employees and is a division within the City's Public Works department.

Q: How low can aircraft operate at the Auburn Airport?

A:  Federal Aviation Regulations state: 

  • Except when necessary for takeoff or landing, no person may operate an aircraft below an altitude allowing, if a power unit fails, an emergency landing without undue hazard to persons or property on the surface.
  • Over any congested area of a city, town, or settlement, or over any open air assembly of persons, no lower than 1,000 feet above the highest obstacle within a horizontal radius of 2,000 feet of the aircraft.
  • Over uncongested areas, no lower than 500 feet above the surface. Over open water or sparsely populated areas, aircraft may not be operated closer than 500 feet to any person, vessel, vehicle, or structure.
  • Helicopters may be operated at less than the minimums listed above if the operation is conducted without hazard to persons or property on the surface.

Q: How do I file a complaint about aircraft operations?

A:  Both the FAA and airport are resources for complaints regarding planes and helicopters landing or departing from S50. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Flight Standard District Office in Renton can be contacted at (425) 227-2813 or visit our webpage here. As a note, the King County Sheriff does fly in the area and works to keep our neighborhoods safe. Many of the complaints we receive are actually related to these efforts. Find more about King County's efforts by following them on Twitter or on their webpage here.
