Drake Field (KFYV)

Drake Field is Fayetteville's general-aviation airport, a single 6,005-foot runway serving Northwest Arkansas business traffic, charter flying and a growing training operation.

You work Drake Tower with Razorback Approach overhead. N-number training and transient GA dominate the board, with ExecJet and Flexjet business traffic filling the IFR side. South flow uses runway 16 and north flow runway 34. The current cycle carries three generated approaches and no arrivals or usable departure procedure, so every IFR departure leaves on radar vectors.

This is the Busy tier: one strip, but an expanding student pattern and quick business traffic make sequencing and runway occupancy the work.
