A November 2019 meeting of the Sea-Tac Airport Stakeholder Advisory Round Table (StART) Aviation Noise Working Group covered three main topics: next steps for adopting a quieter aircraft departure procedure (NADP 2), updates on outreach to airlines with late-night noise violations, and highlights from a national airport noise conference held in Seattle. Key discussions included how the NADP 2 'distant procedure' could reduce noise for communities farther from the airport, conversations with carriers like EVA Air and FedEx about reducing late-night noise, and plans to develop community-friendly maps showing where noise impacts would increase, decrease, or stay the same.Open full document
