FBO RPTS LOSS OF CERTAIN NAVAID CAPABILITIES AND COM PROBLEMS ALONG WITH A CHANGE IN RADAR ADVISORY SVCS.

Narrative

ON MARCH/SAT/92; MHT APCH CONSOLIDATED PEASE AIRSPACE INTO MHT'S. MHT IS NOW TOTALLY CTLING AIRSPACE IN THE SEACOAST NH; SOUTHERN MAINE AREA. RADAR IS NOT AVAILABLE BELOW 2500 (SOMETIMES 3000 FT AND HIGHER) FT. ADDITIONALLY; MHT'S RADIOS ARE WEAK AND SOMETIMES UNREADABLE. ALSO THE PSM VOR IS OTS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL TESTING AND THE ESG NDB IS OTS. PSM ILS IS OTS; WHICH MEANS PEASE ARPT; LITTLEBROOK AIRPARK (ELIOT; ME) AND SKY HAVEN ARPT (ROCHESTER; NH) HAVE NO INST APCHS. THE SEACOAST HAS A LOT OF GA ACFT FLYING THE COAST. THERE IS GOING TO BE A MIDAIR AND POSSIBLY AN ACCIDENT IN IFR SINCE PEOPLE ARE USED TO SUPER RADAR SVC AND THE ACCIDENT WILL BE A SYS INDUCED ACCIDENT. SENATORS AND CONGRESSMEN HAVE ASKED FAA TO KEEP PEASE RADAR OPEN; FAA HAS DENIED REQUEST. THE WHOLE PAFB CLOSURE HAS BEEN AN AVIATION SAFETY NIGHTMARE- 1. WRONG FREQ ON MY SECTIONAL FOR PSM TWR AND NO NOTAM FOR 6 MONTHS. 2. WRONG FREQ FOR TWR APCH ON LOW ALT CHARTS. 3. NO NOTAMS ON- 1) CHANGE IN HRS OF PEASE APCH; 2) NAME CHANGE FOR FACILITY PRIOR TO - AND NOTAM APPEARED 1 DAY LATER. 3) IFR CLRNC PROCS. CTLRS AT MHT ARE SCARED THERE'S GOING TO BE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF POOR RADAR; POOR COM; NO INST APCHS.
