Current usage of Sea-Tac Airport will be the main topic of the regular monthly meeting of Citizens Against Sea-Tac Expansion (C.A.S.E.) on Wednesday, 2 December. Stan Shepherd, Sea-Tac's Manager pf Airport Noise Programs, expects to set up a web link at the meeting to bring up & display current runway statistics & other flight information, including "WebTrak" in actual operation.
"WebTrak"is a computer program that shows flight paths in almost real time on any computer connect to the Internet. The URL for this service is

Not everyone finds this easy to use, so here is a potential opportunity for learning all about it from an expert.
Mr Shepherd will give also give a presentation on the present state of the Part 150 study for the Airport.
C.A.S.E. President Brett Fish says, "One most intriguing question is how many aborted third runway landings have taken place since the opening and since they aren't completed 'operations', they seem to disappear from the webtracker. The noise is still there, often worse from low attitude high powered recoveries but doesn't seem to be recorded in DNL or other statistics needed to get at the truth of true impacts to the communities."
C.A.S.E. meetings are held at the Highline School District's administration office (also known as "ERAC"), located at 15675 Ambaum Blvd., S.W., in Burien, from 7 p.m. to 9. p.m. All are welcome. Light refreshments provided.
