Busy Arrival at Boeing Field

On one of the last days of 2025—a rare CAVU winter afternoon in the Pacific Northwest—I returned from a hop to the coast by flying the Vashon Arrival at Boeing Field. The Vashon Arrival is a standard VFR procedure used when KBFI is in a north flow—landing RWY 32L or 32R. The FAA currently publishes the routes on the Seattle VFR Flyway Planning Chart, the reverse side of the Seattle-Portland Terminal Area Chart. The descriptions and graphics aren’t as clear as they could be, but the Flyway chart shows airspace boundaries with less than clutter than on a TAC or Sectional. The Vashon Arrival is essentially the reverse of the Vashon Departure, which I’ve shown in other videos, and it requires the same care to ensure that you remain underneath the low shelves of the Seattle Class B airspace immediately west of KBFI. You also must avoid blundering into the Class B surface area that encloses Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. That border lies less than 2 nm south of KBFI. Now join me in the A36 just west of Vashon Island as I fly the arrival to a landing on RWY 32L on a typically busy day at Boeing Field, between a bizjet and Boeing 737, with a Cessna Skycatcher in the pattern for the parallel RWY 32R.
