The purpose of this study is to determine what effect skydiving would have on aircraft flying in and out of the airport as well as the operation of air navigation facilities. This is the second study being conducted for a landing zone after the FAA deemed the previously proposed landing area unsafe. In the study, consideration will be given to all facts relevant to the effect of the activity on existing and planned airspace use, air navigation facilities, airports, aircraft operations, procedures and minimum flight altitudes and the air traffic control system. Four locations are being considered for a possible landing zone for skydivers to land which are all located on the airport property. Anyone can submit comments for the FAA's consideration. To be eligible for consideration, comments must be relevant to the effect the activity would have on aviation, must provide sufficient detail to permit a clear understanding, must contain the Aeronautical Study Number (2011-ANE-4-NRA) and must be received on or before March 31. For further assistance, contact the FAA field office at 781-238-7621 or e-mail Tracey McInnis at tracey. mcinnis@faa.gov. Comments can be mailed to: Federal Aviation Administration, Airports Division, 12 New England Executive Park, Burlington MA 01803.Livin' on the Edge... sleeping with my rigger's wife...
