Changes to the Noise Abatement Procedures at KSQL

San Carlos Airport has very specific departure procedures to limit the noise of airplanes above residential areas. Right now, KSQL has the Bay Meadows, Woodside, and Belmont Slough departures, but at the end of the month, new noise abatement procedures will be released. Every pilot will need to immediately adopt these new guidelines.

In this seminar, we have KSQL Airport Communications Specialist Davi Howard explaining the new departure names and procedures, something every pilot flying to and from KSQL needs to know. Come join us before San Carlos Flight Center’s July BBQ for this seminar.

Davi Howard is a dynamic speaker and being a controller and a pilot, he will bring some great perspectives to this seminar.

Davi Howard currently works with San Mateo County Airports as the Airport Communications Specialist. He spent 36 years as an Air Traffic Controller (10 years in the U.S. Air Force and 26 years working for the FAA: 6 years here at SQL, 3 years at SJC and 17 years at SFO). Davi holds a single engine land Private Pilot’s Certificate.
