View Comment

Please allow an East - West VFR transit corridor from Parleys Summit to Wendover, at or below 10,000 feet MSL. Small, VFR aircraft have a difficult time achieving altitudes above 12,000 feet. Radio communications with SLC is difficult to impossible on the eastern side of the Wasatch range. In the past, when transiting east to west over Parley Summit, I have not been able to receive Class B clearance from SLC until nearly reaching the SL valley floor. Generally, when flying west from Parleys Summit to Wendover and beyond, I have been routed over the south end of the SLC runways. An East - West VFR transit corridor should be in place for aircraft flying from Parley Summit to Wendover at a height no greater than 10,000 MSL. I am also concerned that VFR aircraft flying near and above 12,000 msl over Park City, would find themselves in traffic with jets from SLC.
