Navy To Conduct Field Carrier Landing Practice

Depending on the weather- The Navy will conduct a Field Carrier Landing Practice (FCLP) this week- December 17-21-

The day(s) for the flight demonstration during this time will be determined by the Navy and and depend upon operational and training requirements, availability of aircraft and weather conditions current and forecasted. The hours for the demonstration will be between 3 to 4 p.m.

This is being done to evaluate the potential environmental effects on this area and areas surrounding. If the Wallops base is selected there could possibly be 20,000 FCLP passes annually with the E-2 and C-2 jet aircraft. The Navy expects to complete their Environmental Assessment in January.
