The Gnoss Field Community Association invites you to join this newly formed association of pilots, aircraft owners, businesses and neighbors who use and enjoy Marin County's Airport, Gnoss Field, or who are simply interested in aviation.

Your voice needs to be heard
The Marin County Board of Supervisors has jurisdiction over Gnoss Field. The Airport Commission and the Airport Manager make recommendations to the Board. We believe it is very important for the Board, the Airport Commission and the Airport Manager to have the benefit of our collective voice when decisions are being made affecting the airport.

We are aware of the perception of some members of the community that Gnoss is used only by "hobby pilots", and that Gnoss does not contribute to the financial health of Marin. Making sure that the Board hears loud and clear that Gnoss is a very important community asset must be a high priority for us.

Also, California's Department of Aviation and the Federal FAA and NTSB set the regulations and operational use for the airport. Issues such as IFR procedures, patterns, runway markings, and now TSA security are matters where constructive or critical input will contribute to the best use of the Gnoss airport. Our direct perspective is the input which only local communities can provide.

It is important to keep reminding everyone that Gnoss provides medical and emergency flight facilities, Civil Air Patrol coverage, along with business and private flying opportunites. Gnoss also has other aviation related businesses important to the community.

Here are just some of the benefits of joining:
