Report from North Field and South Field Study Groups and Aviation Stakeholders Advisory Committee Kathy Ornelas gave a report on the most recent Study Group and Advisory Committee meetings. The North Field and South Field Groups continue to review data about unusual noise events and Airport Noise Management Office staff continues to follow-up with pilots who are not in compliance with the airport's voluntary noise abatement policies. The North Field Group is reviewing the list of original study subjects from 1997 to see what items are still viable for research by the group and which have been resolved. Installation of a second instrument landing system at the North Field continues to be stalled due to staffing changes and budget limitations at the FAA. The Group has asked that the Noise Forum ask Congressman Stark to urge the FAA to make progress on this project. Larry Galindo has been appointed as the new manager of the Airport's Noise Management Office. With the retirement of Larry Berlin as the Airport's North Field Manager, Airport Operations Supervisors are rotating through the position for the next few months until a new appointment is made.
