    Sound Information: Sea-Tac Airport Noise Abatement Office Newsletter, Winter 1998

    This Winter 1998 newsletter from the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport Noise Abatement Office reports that U.S. airline fleets are transitioning ahead of schedule to quieter Stage 3 aircraft, with 75.5% of U.S. planes and 87% of Sea-Tac flights already meeting the standard required by the year 2000. Alaska Airlines completed hush kit installations on its Boeing 737-200 jets, achieving full Stage 3 compliance two years early, though engine testing caused some community noise concerns. Quarterly reports for mid-1997 also detail nighttime flight restrictions, noise complaint line activity, flight procedure compliance rates, and progress on a home insulation remediation program that had assisted over 7,000 homeowners.
