This document is the agenda for a Port of Seattle Airspace Study Advisory Committee meeting held on November 5, 1981, at the FAA Building at Boeing Field.

Progress updates on a general aviation survey and a Boeing Field control tower survey were also scheduled for discussion.

Memorandum from Port of Seattle Study Staff announcing a Technical Advisory Committee meeting for January 20, 1981 to discuss the Sea-Tac noise exposure forecast update. The agenda includes reviewing the previous meeting, proposed validation program for the Integrated Noise Model (INM), and first run of INM for South Flow Test Day.

Minutes from a Technical Advisory Committee meeting on the Sea-Tac Airport Noise Exposure Forecast Update, an approximately $80,000 study partially funded by the FAA and expected to be completed by July 1981. The meeting covered two key study tools — the Integrated Noise Model (INM), a computer program that estimates aircraft noise using Ldn (day-night average sound level) measurements, and the Sea-Tac Noise Monitoring System (NMS). Committee members raised concerns about using averaged noise metrics, debating whether single-event noise levels or a 'misery index' tracking flights above a threshold decibel level would better reflect community impact.

In this November 21, 1980 letter, Sea-Tac International Airport Manager Oris W. Dunham, Jr. acknowledges receipt of correspondence from community member William Holstine regarding concerns raised at a recent public meeting. Dunham promises a timely response to Holstine's questions and invites him to present to the PAC (Public Advisory) Committee at its next meeting. The letter reflects the airport's efforts to engage with neighboring community members over airport-related concerns, likely related to noise policy.
