This document compares the governance practices of three major U.S. airport advisory committees — Charlotte-Douglas (NC), LAX (CA), and Chicago O'Hare — across key issues including membership by elected officials, public recording of meetings, agenda-setting, advance notice of materials, and inclusion of expert witnesses. The comparison is used to evaluate StART (Sea-Tac Airport Roundtable), which currently lacks most of these features, with the BAC (Boeing Airport Committee) flagging items such as public recordings and expert witness inclusion as highest priorities. The findings highlight significant gaps between StART's current practices and the more transparent, publicly accessible models used at other major airports. -

2020-04-14Airbus A320 “Whistle”: ONCC Technical Committee Meeting, April 14, 2020
Airbus A320 family aircraft (A318, A319, A320, A321) manufactured before 2014 produce a distinctive high-pitched whistling noise during descent, caused by airflow passing through Fuel Over Pressure Protector (FOPP) cavities located on each wing. The noise fades once the landing gear is deployed. A small device called a vortex generator, installed just in front of each vent opening, has been identified as an effective fix, reducing noise levels by up to 4 decibels during the approach phase. -
