FAA Seminar, RDU traffic improvement

[bflynn]

I know there's a few RDU pilots here.

The FAA is changing flight procedures for arrivals and departures at Raleigh-Durham International Airport to improve safety and efficiency. The changes are scheduled to be published in early 2021. This meeting is being held to explain the changes and answer questions.

any airport meeting that invites the general public should just be titled "Please, complain about airport noise some more, we haven't heard it in a while"

RDU arrivals and departures are largely over industrial areas. The few people that are bothered by it know that nobody is going to shut down this airport.

My take is they're introducing PDCs and they want to explain where they are. Or, they're going to take another step to remove GA from the airport.
