RE: New Airplane Departure Route
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing a new airplane departure route for Runway 33 that will fly directly over Milton (see below website, chapter 1, figure 1-4). Milton is already heavily affected by 2 other airplane runway flight paths – Runway 4 arrivals
and Runway 27 departures – and therefore Milton does not need to have an additional flight path
added from airplane departures on Runway 33.

All comments to the FAA need to be in by February 15, 2013 (see below website). The FAA has given a very brief window of time during which the public can comment. The website and documentation below state that this new runway procedure will be implemented starting on
March 7, 2013.
