A what?

Pilots,

I just came across something very strange for you to ponder on a Friday. Check it out:

Pearson field (KVUO) is near Portland, Oregon. It is charted on the Seattle Sectional.

Here is a snippet. (click to enlarge)



Now here's the head-scratcher. Is Pearson a class D or class E/G airport?

Look closer.



What are your cloud clearance minimums? Who do you tell when you're inbound? departing? Do you need a landing or take-off clearance?!

Which frequency are you using?!

Where would you find the answers to this conundrum?

Questions questions... taking all guesses in the comments area. :)

Blue Skies,

- Mike
