Speculation was that it could be the sheriff’s helicopter. Mike Cero commented that there is an increase in the dive and drive procedure over Mercer Island.

Ryan brought up the RNP as a solution to this type of approach. 5:46 PM Airport Business Management presented by Ryan Zulauf, Airport Manager • Presentation, see Attachment A, Page 1-2 5:50 PM Airport Operations and Maintenance presented by Jonathan Wilson, Assistant Airport Manager • Presentation, see Attachment A, Page 3 5:55 PM Airport Capital Projects presented by Jonathan Wilson, Assistant Airport Manager • Presentation, see Attachment A, Page 4 6:00 PM New Business -- Required Navigational Performance (RNP) Ryan started a discussion on the recently released Puget Sound Regional Council’s (PSRC) draft study titled, “Busy Airport Study.” Comments on the draft study can be submitted until February 28, 2013. The general opinion was that the study was very informative. Al questioned the feasibility of use by small GA pilots. Tom Imrich (MI) Renton Airport Clayton Scott Field and Will Rogers-Wiley Post Memorial Seaplane Base 616 West Perimeter Road-Unit A, Renton WA 98057 425-430-7471 commented that the Cirrus aircraft can fly these approaches now, and as the approaches are developed, manufacturers will join in. Ryan continued with discussion on routing jet traffic down the east channel and how Kennydale residents would react. Tom Imrich also commented that an east channel approach will reduce jet noise due to the gradual power off approach. Mike Cero commented that the east channel approach would be more agreeable to Mercer Island residents. Discussion broke out on how to inform the public of the RNP approaches. One thought was to put a video of the demonstrated approaches on YouTube. The possibility of a new approach for Runway 34 that would avoid Talbot Hill was discussed. A suggestion was made to combine the route for both Boeing Field and Renton through the Kent valley to a common waypoint. Ryan replied that the airspace in the region is very complex, including Boeing Field, Seatac, Renton and Auburn. The technical challenge is achievable though and the greater challenge is informing Renton and Mercer Island residents and obtaining their approval. Marcie asked if the Busy Airport Study had been referred to the RAAC, and the answer was no. Marcie agreed to refer the study to the RAAC at the next Council meeting. Marleen questioned how noise levels will be affected. Next Steps – membership to provide recommendation on Busy Airport Study, upon referral by the City Council. 6:55 PM Next Meeting Dates • May 14, 2013 • August 13, 2013 7:00 PM Meeting adjourned Renton Airport Clayton Scott Field and Will Rogers-Wiley Post Memorial Seaplane Base 616 West Perimeter Road-Unit A, Renton WA 98057 425-430-7471 Renton Airport Advisory Committee RAAC Members Present (2.11.2013)_ RAAC Members Absent (2.1.2013) 1.
