You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.83.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 21:48, 22 February 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

== History ==
In April 1929 Essex Airport Corporation was formed by Walter Marvin and six other individuals. The intention of the company was to open an airport to serve [[Montclair, New Jersey]], a town seven miles (11&nbsp;km) away. Some of the early references to the airport have the designation "Marvin Airport", named after Walter Marvin.<ref name="Santiago21Jun09">((cite news|url = http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2009/06/historic_essex_county_airport_1.html|title = Historic Essex County Airport has a lofty past|accessdate = 2010-01-15|last = Santiago|first =  Katherine|newspaper=The Star-Ledger|location=Newark|date=June 21, 2009))</ref>

In 1999, the airport gained national attention when [[John F. Kennedy Jr.]], who based his private aircraft there, [[John F. Kennedy, Jr. plane crash|crashed]] hours after departing the airport en route for [[Martha's Vineyard Airport|Martha's Vineyard]].<ref name="Santiago21Jun09" />

== Facilities and aircraft ==
[[File:Essex County Airport (Fairfield, NJ) Dec 2015.jpeg|thumb|Essex County Airport main building and tower]]
Essex County Airport covers an area of 275 [[acre]]s (111 [[hectare|ha]]) at an [[elevation]] of 172 feet (52 m) above [[mean sea level]]. It has two [[runway]]s with [[Asphalt concrete|asphalt]] surfaces: 4/22 is 4,552 by 80 feet (1,387 x 24 m) and 10/28 is 3,719 by 75 feet (1,134 x 23 m).<ref name="FAA" />

For the 12-month period ending September 30, 2022, the airport had 90,504 aircraft operations, an average of 248 per day: 96% [[general aviation]], 2% [[air taxi]], 1% military, and <1% commercial. Around that time there were 197 aircraft based at this airport: 161 single-engine, 19 multi-engine, 7 [[jet aircraft|jets]] and 10 [[helicopter]]s.<ref name="FAA" />

The weather station reports are commonly identified as "Caldwell".<ref>((cite web|title=Weather observations for the past three days, Caldwell, Essex County Airport|url=http://w1.weather.gov/obhistory/KCDW.html|publisher=National Weather Service|accessdate=March 10, 2014))</ref><ref>((cite web|title=Average Weather For Caldwell, New Jersey, USA|url=https://weatherspark.com/averages/29879/Caldwell-New-Jersey-United-States|publisher=WeatherSpark.com|accessdate=March 12, 2014))</ref>

== Accidents ==
* On August 29, 1982, a Cessna 172 carrying a flight instructor and student pilot collided with a Cessna 150 flown by a student pilot.  The control tower did not have a radar system installed at the time and had instructed the Cessna 172 to fly an overhead entry to the traffic pattern while the Cessna 150 was on its downwind leg.  The resulting collision sheared a wing off of the Cessna 172 and the ensuing crash resulted in the death of both occupants.  The pilot of the other aircraft made a forced landing at the airport and skidded off the runway with the plane coming to rest on its nose.<ref>((Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1985/12/15/nyregion/judge-blames-air-controller-in-fatal-jersey-crash.html|title=Judge Blames Air Controller In Fatal Jersey Crash|date=1985-12-15|newspaper=The New York Times|issn=0362-4331|access-date=2017-02-01))</ref><ref>((Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1982/08/30/nyregion/midair-collision-near-an-airport-in-jersey-kills-2.html|title=Midair Collision Near An Airport In Jersey Kills 2|last=Times|first=Lindsey Gruson, Special To The New York|date=1982-08-30|newspaper=The New York Times|issn=0362-4331|access-date=2017-02-01))</ref>
* On November 15, 2002, a Mooney M10  and a Piper PA-32R-300 collided in the traffic pattern while maneuvering at night for an approach to runway 22.  The pilots of both planes were killed in the crash that followed.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/wiki.php?id=45363|title=ASN Aircraft accident 15-NOV-2002 Mooney M10 N9502V|last=Ranter|first=Harro|website=aviation-safety.net|access-date=2017-02-01))</ref>
* On January 15, 2007, a Beechcraft A36 Bonanza in night IMC conditions impacted trees on a ridgeline while on approach to the airport.  During at the start of its approach, the aircraft was 200 feet below the published minimum descent altitude for the instrument approach procedure and over the next 1.5 miles descended at a 7 degree angle and a 945 feet-per-minutes rate of descent resulting in controlled flight into terrain.  Upon hitting trees, the plane flipped over, landed in a street and burst into flames killing the pilot.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://app.ntsb.gov/pdfgenerator/ReportGeneratorFile.ashx?EventID=20070123X00088&AKey=1&RType=Summary&IType=FA|title=NTSB Aviation Accident Data Summary for Accident Number NYC07FA056))</ref>

* On August 15, 2015, shortly after takeoff from runway 22, the pilot of a Cessna 205 reported that he was unable to maintain power and attempted a turn back towards the airport.
