VNY and BUR Airport Joint Task Force Meeting #7
Wednesday, May 6; Thursday, May 7, 2020
6:00 PM - 9:30 PM
CLICK HERE FOR VIRTUAL MEETING INSTRUCTIONS ONLINE & BY PHONE
The Task Force panel will be voting on recommendations to the FAA to address concerns related to aircraft operating at Van Nuys Airport (VNY) and Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR) flying over "new communities" of the southern San Fernando Valley. These communities have been adversely impacted by flight paths further south, lower altitude departures, concentration of flight paths, unequal distribution of aircraft noise, nighttime aircraft noise, and insufficient mitigation. These changes were made without proper notice or environmental assessment.

WHAT: The Board of Airport Commissioners (BOAC), the governing body for Van Nuys Airport (VNY), will be meeting to hear final comments on a Voluntary Nighttime Curfew. BOAC has asked VNY aviation operators to attend. So it is important that our community is well-represented.
Several months ago the Van Nuys Citizens Advisory Council (CAC) passed a Motion to implement a Voluntary Nighttime Curfew for all non-emergency aircraft flying in and out of VNY between 10:00 PM and 7:00 AM on weekdays, and 10:00 PM and 9:00 AM on weekends and holidays. The motion also requested Burbank Airport (BUR) to enforce and implement their existing Voluntary Nighttime Curfew to include General Aviation non-emergency arrivals and departures. The motion stated that notifications should be sent to users of the airports via FAA Notice to Airmen (NOTAM), via airport public relations, and via signage to announce the Voluntary Curfew.
Instead of supporting that BOAC pass the motion, Los Angeles World Airport (LAWA) staff which oversees VNY Airport, has watered it down with a “Preferential Nighttime Jet Departure Program,” still in development. Only LAWA, BOAC and VNY master tenants have collaborated on it. It falls short and only includes the voluntary hours between 11:00 PM and 7:00 AM weekdays and weekends. It also does not include NOTAM announcements or the request for BUR airport.
Tell/bring a neighbor! It is very important for a strong community turnout! Let them know the community should be participating in the collaboration and that we deserve better for our families.

They have been working on a solution since February after we urged the City Council to pass a motion. More information about that is here.
We request that anyone who speaks to please thank the Board for their efforts, politely and respectfully, while stressing the urgency for immediate implementation of solutions due to the noise impact and other risks including the 90% Fire Hazard Severity Zone of the Santa Monica Mountains area.
