Meeting Summary: I. Facilitator welcome, introduction, and meeting agenda, Brian Scott from BDS Planning & Urban Design II. 34R Glideslope Adjustment Progress to Date, Colin Rice, Port of Seattle A. The Port is working with the FAA to determine if the glideslope could get raised to 3.1 degrees, above the industry standard of 3.0. Raising the glideslope from its current angle of 2.75 is a complex issue, however, for the following reasons: o The FAA owns the glideslope antennas – not the Port – making coordination & logistics complex. o Flight testing needs to be done as well and the Port must work with the FAA to move the glideslope antennas because the Port is overseeing planning, design and actual construction. o Others like PAPI (Precision Approach Path Indicator), a visual guide for pilots, must be moved as well. B. The SAMP timeline has been pushed back. o The federal environmental review (NEPA) will be completed early 2022. o The state environmental review (SEPA) will be completed by fall of 2022. III.
