On 30 October, the Federal Aviation Administration denied the application of Burbank Airport (Bob Hope Airport) for permission to impose a mandatory night-time curfew. Bob Hope Airport, known as BUR in aviation lingo, is operated by the Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport Authority (Southern California). A voluntary curfew has been in place for many years, but the Airport Authority sought to make it mandatory.
The Part 161 study goes back to 2000. The final application was submitted in February 2009, & was accepted as complete by the FAA in June. A 42-page decision was issued by an Acting Associate Administrator for Airports, Ms Catherine M. Lang, on 30 October. Ms Lang determined that the application only met two of the six requirements laid down by Congress.
RCAA has the full decision in pdf format, & will forward it to any interested person.
No word of reaction from the Airport Authority. More on this as more information becomes available.
