Flight Patterns – FAA’s ‘Four Post’ traffic plan for planes is illogical, insulting
June 12, 1992 Publication: THE SEATTLE TIMES Page: A9 Word Count: 354 The Ninth Circuit in San Francisco recently voted that since the noise level was not above 65 decibels (recently raised from 55 decibels) the Federal Aviation Administration did not have to be subject to any environmental impact requirements. Therefore, the FAA’s brilliant “four post” plan remains -

Decided April 9, 1992. *830 BRUNETTI, Circuit Judge: 830 Peter J. Eglick and Henryk J. Hiller, Seattle, Washington, for petitioner. *831831 Peter R. Steenland, Jr., and J. Carol Williams, U.S. Dept. of Justice, Washington, D.C., for respondents. Petition for Review of a Decision of the Federal Aviation Administration. Before: WRIGHT, BRUNETTI, and LEAVY, Circuit Judges. Petitioner Seattle Community Council Federation ("SCCF") challenges an order of the Federal Aviation Administration ("FAA") which changed the flight patterns of turbine-powered aircraft using the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport ("Sea-Tac"). The FAA issued a Finding of No Significant Impact ("FONSI") caused by the changes, thus relieving the FAA of preparing an Environmental Impact Statement ("EIS"). SCCF claims that the decision not to prepare an EIS was unreasonable and failed to consider the significant noise impacts of the changes. We have jurisdiction to review an order of the FAA pursuant to 49 U.S.C.App. § 1486(a) (1988). We affirm the FAA's order. I. Facts and Proceedings Sea-Tac is publicly owned by the Port of Seattle and has been in operation since 1944. Aircraft approach procedures which routed planes landing to the south over Elliott Bay and Puget Sound had been in place for approximately twenty years. In order to increase airport efficiency and maintain safety, changes to existing procedures were considered starting in the mid-1980's. In the… -
