Pilots who fly in Southern California’s busy airspace will soon be expected to follow new procedures, so the FAA has planned a series of public meetings and webinars to bring everyone up to speed. The live webinars will include time for Q&A with FAA representatives. The sessions, set for this month and next, will focus on changes that will be enacted in March and April. The airports involved include many popular GA fields, including Santa Monica (SMO) and Van Nuys (VNY), as well as Los Angeles International (LAX) and other airports in Santa Barbara, Palm Springs, San Diego and more.
Four webinars are scheduled for this week, Wednesday Jan. 18 and Thursday Jan. 19. Ten public workshops will be held between Jan. 23 and Feb. 8. The workshops will be an open-house format with no formal presentation, where the public can attend anytime during the posted times to learn about the project. FAA representatives will provide information and will be available to answer questions. The public is welcome to attend anytime during the posted times. Free public parking is available at the briefing locations, and Spanish interpreters will be available.
