Report from Airport Noise Office Regarding South Field ILS Malfunction and Carrier <br /> Arrivals at the North Field on June 8 <br /> Christian Valdez from the Airport Noise Office explained that on the morning of June 8, the <br /> FAA was upgrading power cables to their Instrument Landing System (ILS) at the South <br /> Field. A back -up generator was in place to provide replacement power, and that generator <br /> failed, shutting down the system. That resulted in temporarily diverting arriving flights to the <br /> North Field. The generator power was restored but failed again later in the day. A total of <br /> five flights were diverted in the first ILS outage, and twenty -four during the second outage. <br /> Wafaa Aborashed commented on the noise created in the neighborhoods by the diverted <br /> airliners. <br /> Chair Santos expressed concern that there was no community advisory to alert neighboring <br /> cities as to why the flights were being diverted to the North Field. Noise Office staff agreed <br /> to work with City staff to improve the notification system for events of this nature. <br />
