2025-10-22Programmatic Environmental Checklist – Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) Flight Corridor Management Program
★Environmental checklist for the Port of Seattle’s Flight Corridor Management Program at SEA, which involves regular identification and removal of tree obstructions to maintain compliance with FAA flight corridor regulations. The program operates on approximately five-year implementation cycles. -
1982-07-27Detailed Analysis of Airspace Interactions – Chapter 6
★ 33Technical analysis of airspace interactions between Sea-Tac Airport and Boeing Field, examining runway capacity models, aircraft delay calculations, and the effects of airspace interactions on airport operations. The document presents detailed capacity and delay calculations using computerized models. -
1981-10-28Airspace Study: Sea-Tac International Airport and King County International Airport
★ 32This 1981 airspace study, prepared by Peat, Marwick, Mitchell & Co., examines how the shared use of airspace between Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (Sea-Tac) and King County International Airport (Boeing Field) affects the capacity of both airports. The two-phase study analyzes projected congestion and delays through the year 2000 and evaluates operational and policy alternatives to reduce airspace conflicts. A public information program was also included to keep the community informed of the study's findings and implications. -
2025-10-23DCA South of Airport Aircraft Noise and Mitigation Study: Recommendations and Noise Analysis
This October 2025 report from the DCA South of Airport Aircraft Noise and Mitigation Study examines how post-Metroplex airspace changes increased aircraft overflights and noise exposure for residents south of Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, including communities in Alexandria, Fairfax, and Prince George's Counties. The study, conducted by aviation consultancy Vianair, presents recommendations and noise analysis aimed at reducing the impact of arrival and departure flight paths on affected residential populations. Note: This document pertains to DCA (Washington, D.C.), not Sea-Tac Airport. -
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. -
