Pilots get chance to help redesign Alaska airspace
As a pilot, you know Alaska's airspace inside and out. You know what works and what doesn't. The FAA wants to tap into your expertise while it studies redesigning the state's airspace. You're invited to two meetings to help develop strategies to streamline air traffic movement, relieve congestion, and enhance safety at the bowl airports in Anchorage. You'll also discuss air traffic sector boundaries in en route and terminal airspace; examine developing GPS and RNAV procedures; and work toward an airspace system that can accommodate civil and military operations. The meetings will take place at 8:30 a.m. on Monday, Oct. 1, and 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 3, in Anchorage at the University of Alaska, 2811 Merrill Field Dr., Room 127.
