STS Approach Study

View the Approach Feasibility Study Community Outreach Meeting. Meeting transcripts and captions are included in the video.

This video starts with an overview depiction of the approach, showing the Localizer (LOC) final and the three paths to join the LOC from the south via SGD, SAU and PYE VORs. The view rotates to look from south to north along the LOC path and simulated aircraft are added to the depiction, flight at five times normal speed and at two minutes intervals. The underlying map changes to a satellite image and the view rotates to see the profile descent along the instrument landing system final approach course from various view angles. The aircraft show their noise footprint over the ground using colours conforming to the legend found in the upper left portion of the screen for 65, 70, 75, 80 and 85 dB. The aircraft symbols are tagged with their altitude above mean sea level. The image then shows the measure of some of the waypoints’ distances from the runway threshold.

This video starts with an overview depiction of the approach, showing the RNAV approach legs and the two paths to join the approach from the north via the CABEX and FIPUM waypoints.. The view rotates to look from north to south along the RNAV final and simulated aircraft are added to the depiction, flight at five times normal speed and at two minutes intervals. The underlying map changes to a satellite image and the view rotates to see the profile descent along the RNAV final approach course from various view angles. The aircraft show their noise footprint over the ground using colours conforming to the legend found in the upper left portion of the screen for 65, 70, 75, 80 and 85 dB. The aircraft symbols are tagged with their altitude above mean sea level. The image then shows the measure of some of the waypoints’ distances from the runway threshold including the path that would indicate an extension of the runway centerline for a straight in approach.

This video starts with an overview depiction of the approach, showing the RNAV approach legs and the two paths to join the approach from the west via the BOARS waypoint and the PYE VOR. The view rotates to look across the RNAV final and simulated aircraft are added to the depiction, flight at five times normal speed and at two minutes intervals. The underlying map changes to a satellite image and the view rotates to see the profile descent along the RNAV final approach course from the south. The aircraft show their noise footprint over the ground using colours conforming to the legend found in the upper left portion of the screen for 65, 70, 75, 80 and 85 dB. The aircraft symbols are tagged with their altitude above mean sea level. The image then shows the measure of some of the waypoints’ distances from the runway threshold including the path that would indicate an extension of the runway centerline for a straight in approach.
