FAA to raise the approach altitude of aircraft into BUSH IAH
The FAA and the Air Traffic Controllers announced they are redefining the Class B Airspace around Houston and expanding the Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON) facility at Bush-IAH.
In redefining Class B airspace, the approach of airplanes (or intercept altitude) will be raised by 1000 feet. This approach change should allow for a reduction in noise from the current low-flying aircraft to the surrounding airport neighborhoods. Full Article
While this appears to be a wonderful accomplishment, there are still some details that you should know.
- If you live within 7 miles of Bush IAH, this will not reduce the noise or pollution you currently experience.
- CHARGE currently has the understanding that this change will only be implemented on the west side approaches. So, if you are east of the airport, you will see no change.
CHARGE has requested the complete details of the implementation of the raised altitude for approaching aircraft into IAH from Ted Poe. We will update you when we get a response.
