Working together with Minnesota communities, aircraft operators and the FAA to reduce the impact of aircraft noise.
Beginning at 11:00 PM tonight, June 16, construction and maintenance activities at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP), will result in the closures of both parallel runways (Runways 12L/30R and 12R/30L) overnight. Aircraft operating at MSP will use Runway 17/35 while the parallel runways are closed.
Strong winds out of the south west may result in the use of less common runway configurations today at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP).
Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP) is a joint civil-military public use international airport. As a joint civil-military airport, MSP is home to the Air Force Reserve Command 934th Airlift Wing and the Air National Guard 133rd Airlift Wing.
Two weeks ago, we shared the news article Airplanes and Cold Weather that describes why aircraft sound different when temperatures drop. It also noted that cold air has higher density which improves acceleration, reduces the runway length aircraft need during take-off, and increases lift and altitude gained as aircraft depart the airport.
The Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP) Noise Oversight Committee (NOC) met yesterday, February 17, 2021, and discussed the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Neighborhood Environmental Survey (NES).
Temperatures in the area are expected to plummet this week. Low temperatures are forecasted to be below -10° Fahrenheit this weekend with below normal temperatures continuing into next week. With frigid temperatures, our neighbors may not only feel a change, but may also hear a change.
This year, we are excited to provide weekly information we are calling MAC Facts. Every week the Community Relations Office will post interesting facts about the Metropolitan Airports Commission, our system of airports or aviation in general. These MAC Facts will be posted on our news page at macnoise.com/news. Periodically, MAC Facts will be summarized into a news article and distributed via email. We hope you enjoy this information and we look forward to what we will learn together this year!
