In October 1981, the Port of Seattle invited the Zone III Committee to join an Advisory Committee for the Sea-Tac International Airport and Boeing Field Airspace Study, which aimed to examine how shared airspace between the two airports affected capacity and congestion. Advisory Committee members would be expected to review study materials, monitor progress, and relay information between the study team and their organizations, meeting no more than eight times over 12 months. The first meeting was scheduled for November 5, 1981, at the Federal Aviation Administration Building at Boeing Field.

This document presents the project schedule for an airspace study covering Sea-Tac International Airport and King County International Airport, prepared by Peat, Marwick, Mitchell & Co. in October 1981. The 13-month study is divided into two phases and nine tasks, ranging from preparing the study design and conducting inventories to evaluating alternatives and producing a final report. The schedule also includes regular Advisory Committee meetings and Public Information meetings as part of a project coordination and public participation program.

This 1981 organizational chart from Peat, Marwick, Mitchell & Co. outlines the project structure for an Airspace Study covering Sea-Tac International Airport and King County International Airport (Boeing Field). The study was jointly overseen by the Port of Seattle and King County, with a Project Management Committee chaired by J. Sims and a Project Coordinating Committee led by Project Manager J. Yamanaka, drawing participation from the Federal Aviation Administration and the Washington State Department of Transportation. Advisory input was provided by the Airspace Study Advisory Committee, the Sea-Tac Policy Advisory Committee, and interested members of the public and organizations.

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.

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.
