The Fly Quiet Committee met on Thursday, April 22 via Zoom teleconferencing

The CDA gave a final summary of the Interim Fly Quiet program, which ran from November 2019 through the last week of January 2021, with a construction pause during summer 2020. The 48-week program had an average start time of 10:32 pm and stop time of 6:16 am. The average time in Fly Quiet mode was approximately 7 hours and 44 minutes with 47 percent designated runway usage.

The remainder of the meeting focused on suggested modifications to alternatives B and H. The committee continues to focus on reviewing and revising these two alternatives.

The next Fly Quiet meeting will be held on May 27 at 9:30 am via Zoom teleconferencing.

2020 Annual Runway Usage
The CDA reported on the 2020 annual runway usage for all hours. The major takeaway was that the optimum use is on east/west runways. However, the crosswind runways are used as much as 250 times per year in conjunction with the east/west runways. Wind conditions dictate use. With the proper outreach to the airlines, the crosswind runways could be utilized more in the future Fly Quiet program.
