The Federal Aviation Administration is proposing an update to air traffic control procedures that bring aircraft into and out of San Antonio International Airport.

• This suite of air traffic procedures, known as Performance Based Navigation, or PBN, are satellite-based, and will improve on-time performance, and enhance safety.
• These proposed procedures would enable aircraft to fly where they currently fly, but at a higher altitude for a longer period of time.
• An Environmental Assessment (EA) was conducted for noise impacts and other factors such as biological resources, environmental justice, and air quality.
• You may see the Finding of No Significant Impact and Record of Decision (FONSI/ROD) here. 
• The San Antonio Airspace Noise Mapping Tool models average noise data over a 12-month period for two future years: 2023 and 2028.

The FAA held four virtual workshops: One in May, 2022, one in June, 2022, and two in November, 2022. These workshops enabled participates to learn about the proposed alternatives and the environmental impact analysis of the proposed action. Participants were able to ask questions and receive responses from the project team.
