Aircraft Operations
The safest and most efficient way for aircraft to operate in and out of the airport is by taking off and landing into the wind. The runway chosen most often correlates with the direction that is closest to facing the wind.
Per Federal Regulation, an aircraft must maintain an altitude of at least 1,000 feet over congested areas and 500 feet over non-congested areas. There is an exception for aircraft that are taking off or landing.
There is an air traffic control tower at Beverly Regional Airport. The controllers are in charge of directing aircraft to the runway in use, giving takeoff/landing clearances, and directing them on the best flight paths in the air.
