Pilots use a common traffic advisory frequency (CTAF) to communicate their position to other pilots near the airport. The pilot-in-command is responsible for ensuring that other aircraft operate safely. Pilots in these fields must adhere to all FAA regulations, including minimum visibility, minimum safe altitudes, and right-of-way rules.

The FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) are investigating.

Earlier this month, an aircraft crashed on a runway at Scottsdale Airport, killing a pilot and injuring four others.
