Why does the Sectional Chart not depict Holley Mountain having a Rotating Beacon, but it does?
HMA does have a rotating beacon, but the traffic volume doesnt substantiate running the beacon all night. The beacon is controlled from the same controller that controls the Skywarn Radio Hub and the Automatic Unicom. It comes on at dark and stays on approximately 4 hrs and then goes off. Its a fact most night landings occur within 2 hours of sunset anyway. However, at anytime during the night the runway lights are turned on, the beacon also comes on and stays on until they go off again.
