“The Southern San Fernando Valley Airplane Noise Task Force, made up of local elected city officials and congressional representatives — has been critical of FAA officials, who many residents say gave a scant heads-up on the establishment of the NextGen system.
Burbank flights have historically flown south and made westward turns over the 101 freeway toward their destination. But a report compiled by consulting firm Landrum & Brown last October determined that departing flight paths under the NextGen Metroplex system had shifted southward toward the Santa Monica Mountains, a shift that has parents, homeowners and businesses up in arms.
“I can’t believe how screwed up this situation is,” said LA City Councilman Paul Koretz, a task force member whose council district includes Encino, where south of Ventura Boulevard are the foothills of those mountains.”
