Workman's Airpark Home Owners Association

Workman’s Airpark—sometimes referred to as “Workman” —is a charming, private airstrip community nestled in Canby, Oregon. Known by the FAA identifier OR41, this distinctive neighborhood comprises 24 homes, each situated on generous one-acre lots with direct access to a shared runway. It offers a rare blend of aviation lifestyle and friendly community spirit, making it an inviting place for both pilots and non-pilots alike.

Question is ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance–Broadcast) required to operate out of Workman Airpark?

A: OR41 is a private airstrip located just outside Aurora State Airport’s (KUAO) Class D airspace, and well outside Portland’s Class B Mode C veil. That means: ADS-B Out is not required in that airspace below 10,000 feet MSL, as long as you’re also above 2,500 feet AGL or in low-density airspace. It is in Class E airspace at most altitudes.

Before departing Workman’s Airpark, pilots should always check for current NOTAMs and weather conditions to ensure a safe flight. It’s important to review any airspace restrictions, communicate with nearby towers if flying toward controlled airspace, and confirm your aircraft’s equipment meets all regulatory requirements. Proper flight planning, including route and fuel considerations, helps avoid surprises and keeps operations smooth and safe.
