It is owned by the United States Navy.[1] NOLF Coupeville nearly touches State Route 20 and is about 10 miles south of NAS Whidbey Island. History and usageNOLF Coupeville, also known as OLF Coupeville, was commissioned for use by the US Navy in 1943. It currently supports day and night Field Carrier Landing Practice (FCLP) operations by the US Navy's EA-18G Growler. Prior to the EA-18G being the only tailhook aircraft stationed at NAS Whidbey, the EA-6B Prowler, A-6 Intruder and the A-3 Skywarrior were also supported for carrier landing practice out of the OLF.[2]FCLP operations allow Naval Aviators and on-board crew to fly in patterns as well as practice touch-and-go landings, simulating carrier landings and take offs. During these practice runs, jet aircraft approach the runway and touch down where a simulated tailhook is painted on the deck. The jet then immediately takes off again and loops around the field to prepare for another landing and take off. Each aircraft makes multiple touch-and-go landings during these training events. While performing the touch and go maneuvers, the practicing aircraft fly at appropriate altitudes and speeds in addition to flying at or near sea level.[3] OLF Coupeville is seen by the Navy as an ideal airfield for this type of carrier training due to its remote location and low ambient lighting, allowing pilots and crew to have the optimum experience for replication of landing aboard an aircraft carrier.[4] Environmental concernsWhile jet noise had been an on and off concern to residents living near the NOLF, a local citizen's group filed a lawsuit in July 2013 demanding an Environmental Impact Study (EIS) examining EA-18G Growler flight operations at NOLF Coupeville and NAS Whidbey Island.[6] The Navy initiated an ongoing EIS to "evaluate the potential environmental effects associated with ongoing and future Growler operations at NAS Whidbey Island’s Ault Field and Outlying Landing Field (OLF) Coupeville." [7] The citizen's group has placed the litigation on hold until the study is completed.[8] References1. ^{{FAA-airport|ID=NRA|use=PR|own=MN|site=26174.01*A|Coupeville NOLF}} 2. ^{{Cite web |url=http://www.mybaseguide.com/navy/13-3667-22069/nas_whidbey_island_history |title=My Base Guide - NAS Whidbey Island History |last=MARCOA |date=2017-03-03 |website=mybaseguide.com (registered DOD contractor) |access-date=2018-06-23}} 3. ^{{Cite web |url=http://www.navy.mil/submit/display.asp?story_id=2096 |title=Field Carrier Landing Practices -- The Foundation of Carrier Aviation |last=Walker, Naval Air Systems Command, Operational Environmental Planning Public Affairs |first=Rebecca |date=2002-06-17 |website=navy.mil |access-date=2018-06-23}} 4. ^{{Cite web |url=http://whidbeyeis.com/Documents/documents/Whidbey%20Island%20Growler%20Public%20Outreach%20Brochure.pdf |title=Whidbey Island Growler Public Outreach Brochure |last=Public Affairs |first=NAS Whidbey Island |date=2015-05-01 |website=whidbeyeis.com |access-date=2018-06-23}} 5. ^{{cite web | url=https://www.islandcounty.net/planning/documents/AICUZUpdate.pdf | title=Aircraft Installations Compatible Use Zones (AICUZ) Study Update for Naval Air Station Whidbey Island's Ault Field and Outlying landing Field Coupeville | publisher=Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Southwest, San Diego, California | work=Government Publication | date=March 2005 | accessdate=30 October 2015 | author=The Onyx Group | pages=Figure 4-4}} 6. ^{{cite news|last1=Burnett|first1=Justin|title=Federal Suit Filed; OLF Practices Suspended|url=http://www.whidbeynewstimes.com/news/216225591.html|accessdate=19 July 2014|work=Whidbey News-Times|publisher=Whidbey Newsgroup|date=21 July 2013}} 7. ^{{cite web|title=Environmental Impact Statement for the EA-18G Growler Airfield Operations|url=http://whidbeyeis.com/|publisher=US Navy|date=n.d.|accessdate=19 July 2014}} 8. ^{{cite news|last1=Reid|first1=Janis|title=Anti-OLF group putting federal suit on hold|url=http://www.whidbeynewstimes.com/news/224422491.html|accessdate=19 July 2014|work=Whidbey News-Times|publisher=Whidbey Newsgroup|date=19 September 2013}} External links
