    Gwinnett County Airport

    Gwinnett County Airport (IATA: LZU, ICAO: KLZU, FAA LID: LZU) at Briscoe Field is a municipal airport located about two miles (3 km) northeast of Lawrenceville, Georgia and about 30 miles northeast of Downtown Atlanta. It is owned and operated by the Gwinnett County, in northeastern metro Atlanta.

    It has a 6,000-foot (1,800 m) runway, and is 1,061 feet (323 m) above mean sea level (AMSL). Student training is conducted at the airport by several different flight schools, including ATP Flight School. Two fixed-base operators (FBOs), Landmark (north ramp) and Aircraft Specialists (south ramp), serve the field with facilities, passenger lounges, and fuel. Georgia Jet operates the largest air charter fleet in the Atlanta area from Briscoe Field, transporting passengers nationally and internationally, more than 10 million passenger miles per year. ImagineAir, an air taxi company, is based at the airport. Medway Air Ambulance and Critical Care Medflight operate medical transport services. Its Airport Minimum Standards for Operation were rewritten in 2006.

    Facilities and aircraft
    Gwinnett County–Briscoe Field covers an area of 520 acres (210 hectares) which contains one asphalt-paved runway designated 7/25 which measures 6,000 ft × 100 ft (1,829 m × 30 m).

    For the 12-month period ending December 31, 2018, the airport had 82,895 aircraft operations, an average of 227 per day: 98% general aviation and 1% military. There were 80 aircraft based at the time at this airport: 58 single-engine, 11 multi-engine, 7 jet and 4 helicopter. There is currently no commercial service out of LZU. The closest airport offering passenger flights would be ATL located 42 miles to the southwest of LZU.

    Privatization
    In May 2010 the FAA gave preliminary approval to a plan to privatize the airport. This allowed Gwinnett County to further study plans on a possible sale of the airport to private investors. New York-based Propeller Investments offered to buy Briscoe Field and upgrade it with a ten-gate terminal to attract more scheduled airline services and build a runway capable of accommodating planes as large as 737s. Atlanta's dominant airline, Delta, lobbied against the proposal due to its reluctance to split operations between Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport and Briscoe Field, even though two US carriers, Allegiant and Sun Country Airlines, do not yet offer service to Atlanta.

    In June 2012, the county's Board of Commissioners canceled the privatization plan, amid local opposition to initiating commercial passenger service from the airport. The Board claims that it would not have been a suitable location for an airport due to the already widespread development around Briscoe, which would also have limited future expansion plans. They also raised the issue of distance, claiming that it was "too far away from metro Atlanta’s main population base", citing industry experts who said "most travelers would continue to utilize Hartsfield-Jackson over Briscoe because it would offer more flights, more destinations, and better ticket pricing". They also characterized Propeller Investments as a startup company without airport operations experience.

    Thank you so much for this A/P, your hard work has paid off. One thing, terrain is very uneven.

    If you are using GSX you need to run setup again and exclude KLZU. If not using GSX, not sure why you are having this issue. You need to take a look at any other item that add anything to this scenery. If I recall, there may be a few minor bumps due to me keeping the creek bed , but nothing major that will cause problems.

    FYI ALL - If you have problems with the scenery loading and have jd-Airport_Flags, you must also have tsr-windy-things in your fs2024 community folder. Just tested at KLZU without windy-things and the scenery hadn't loaded after 4 mins.

    I grew up at this airport. The Atlanta Attachment Aviation Hanger was my home. It housed a Cessna 414 Chancellor Reg: N699EP. I've been waiting for it to be memorialized in the sim, so thank you.
    Sincerely.

    I enjoyed touring your KLZU with the drone camera. I flew down the street and noticed all the custom signage. Then I remembered years ago touring the Atlanta Attachment Company at the end of the runway. I had visited them to have a job quoted. They do contract work as well as make their own products. I was delighted to see all the detail you put into that building and the surroundings. Nice work.

    PDK will be added to the list, but there are 6 ahead of it, so it will be a while. AirportGuys, will let you know if pics are needed. I haven't looked but sometimes Google street view covers the airport really good.
