FAA to Host Meeting on Flights Over Mendota Heights
If you live in Mendota Heights and have an opinion on flight noise, you'll probably want to attend this meeting.
If you live in Mendota Heights, chances are you have a strong opinion on airport noise. At its Nov. 15 meeting, the Mendota Heights City Council will hear a presentation by the Federal Aviation Administration and the Metropolitan Airports Commission on what is termed Converging Runway Operations (CRO).
This is a relatively recent directive by the FAA which impacts the number of departures which take place from runways 30L and 35. This change in procedures has had a direct impact on the number of flights over Mendota Heights, according to a news release.
Interested residents are invited to attend. The meeting starts at 7:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers in City Hall, 1101 Victoria Curve, Mendota Heights.
