    Aviation roundtable members argue over structure at meeting – QNS

    By Madina Toure Posted on March 17, 2016 By Madina Toure (clarifying the history of the roundtable structure) The highly anticipated New York Community Aviation Roundtable meeting was marked by tension last week as people spent nearly three hours debating everything from the roundtable’s structure to individuals directly affected by airplane noise. The March 10

    FAA Wake Recategorization JO7110659C

    FAA Order JO 7110.659C, effective February 29, 2016, updates air traffic control procedures for Wake Turbulence Recategorization (Recat), which changes how aircraft are grouped for safe separation purposes. Instead of the traditional three weight classes (heavy, large, and small), Recat introduces six categories based on wingspan, takeoff weight, and an aircraft's ability to withstand wake turbulence, allowing for more precise separation distances and improved airport efficiency. Facilities must obtain authorization, train personnel, and submit weekly wake encounter reports for the first eight weeks after implementing these new procedures.

    Jo 7110 659C

    FAA Air Traffic Organization Policy Order JO 7110.659C providing procedural guidance for implementing Wake Turbulence Recategorization (Recat) procedures and separation minima. The order supersedes certain provisions of FAA Order 7110.65 and requires facilities to obtain authorization before implementing Recat procedures.

    JO7110.693 Simultaneous dependent and independent parallel approach operations

    This FAA notice (effective August 2015) updates the rules for how air traffic controllers manage aircraft making simultaneous approaches to parallel runways. It introduces new diagonal radar separation distances between aircraft based on how far apart the runway centerlines are, ranging from 1 mile of separation for runways 2,500–3,600 feet apart to 2 miles for runways 4,301–9,000 feet apart. While focused on controller procedures rather than noise policy directly, these standards govern how closely aircraft can be spaced during parallel runway approaches, which is relevant to arrival patterns affecting communities near airports like Sea-Tac.

  • Frustrated Residents Fire Back at FAA Officials

    Several individuals participate in what appears to be a public meeting or hearing in a wood-paneled room. A blue flag (possibly Washington State) is visible in the background along with a speaker system, suggesting an official or government-related gathering.

    Recategorization (recat) of federal aviation administration (FAA) wake turbulence separation categories at memphis international airport (mem)

    FAA Safety Alert for Operators announcing the implementation of new wake turbulence separation categories (RECAT Phase I) at Memphis International Airport, effective November 1, 2012. The document details changes from the current 6-category system to a new system based on weight, approach speeds, and wing characteristics, with specific separation standards and aircraft assignments.
