Where is the airport beacon located in relation to Sioux City (SUX) Airport?

  1. South of Runway 17 - 35

  2. West of Runway 17 - 35

  3. East of Runway 17 - 35

  4. North of Runway 17 - 35

The correct answer is: East of Runway 17 - 35

The airport beacon's location is strategically placed east of Runway 17-35 at Sioux City (SUX) Airport to enhance visibility and assist in navigation, especially during low visibility conditions or at night. Beacons are typically positioned in a way that maximizes their effectiveness for incoming aircraft. Being east of the runway helps pilots identify the airport's location when approaching from the west and aligns with standard practices for beacon placement that consider traffic patterns and predominant wind direction. This positioning provides visual guidance to pilots, ensuring they can safely locate and identify the airport from the air.
