2025-02-20FAA JO7400.2R Handling Airspace Matters
FAA Order JO 7400.2R, effective February 20, 2025, sets out procedures for managing U.S. airspace, covering topics such as objects affecting navigable airspace, airport airspace analysis, terminal and en route airspace, special use airspace, and laser and rocket operations. The order updates policies related to surveillance facilities and airport proposals to reflect modern, contractor-supported National Airspace System technologies. Note that this document addresses broad national airspace management procedures and does not specifically cover Sea-Tac Airport noise policy. -

2023-08-14FAA Jet Route Chart Centered on Seattle-Tacoma Area – 14/2202z
A National Weather Service (NWS)-branded interactive aviation map showing FAA high-altitude jet routes (J-routes) radiating from a central fix near Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (Sea-Tac), with surrounding cities including Seattle, Bellevue, Renton, Kent, Tacoma, and Olympia visible. The map is timestamped 14/2202z and displays multiple labeled jet airways (J20, J34, J90, J523, etc.) overlaid on a terrain basemap of the greater Puget Sound region. -
2023-03-07Aircraft noise mitigation study and plan: The City of Alexandria, VA
This 2023 study, prepared by aviation consulting firm Vianair for the City of Alexandria, Virginia, assesses aircraft noise impacts on communities south of Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) and proposes solutions acceptable to the FAA. The work involves analyzing historical flight operations and noise exposure data from 2014–2019, examining changes in flight paths and procedures, and developing recommendations to reduce noise for residents in Alexandria, Fairfax County, and Prince George's County. The findings are intended to be accessible to the general public and local policymakers, not just aviation experts. -

2019-02-01Regional Aviation Baseline Study
The Puget Sound Regional Council launched a two-year Regional Aviation Baseline Study, funded by a $1.6 million FAA grant, to assess the aviation system across King, Pierce, Snohomish, and Kitsap counties. The study examined existing airport roles, economic contributions, airspace capacity, and community impacts to build a technical foundation for future regional aviation planning decisions. Conducted in phases from 2019 to 2020, the study included stakeholder engagement, public meetings, and a final report outlining strategies for accommodating future aviation demand in the central Puget Sound region.
