FAA now sees 'a path forward,' for overnight O'Hare runway rotation
A long-awaited overnight runway rotation plan at O'Hare International Airport is still viable, with some revisions, Federal Aviation Administration officials assured local leaders Thursday.
The 12-week rotation plan, intended to disperse jet noise across the region and give residents a better night's sleep, took seven years to develop. However,"we are committed to getting Fly Quiet across the finish line," FAA Deputy Regional Administrator Sean Doyle told ONCC members Thursday, suggesting the letter might have caused some confusion.
The FAA's air traffic department has raised concerns about certain headings, or angles, for departing aircraft in the proposal.
