Fourteen of the measures pertaining to the operation of aircraft at CVG were approved, or conditionally approved. Eight of these are continuation of existing preferential operational measures. Two existing measures relating to nighttime arrival and departure runway priorities are approved to be withdrawn at the time three proposed measures modifying the nighttime runway use program are implemented. Because of changes in FAA requirements, one previously approved operational procedure must be modified. The Kenton County Airport Board is currently working with the Air Traffic Organization to develop a refined departure procedure that will result in the same noise benefit as the previously approved flight corridor consistent with FAA Order 8260.3B. The defined procedure, as modified, must be coordinated with the appropriate FAA line of businesses before being published. The ANAV procedure has not been implemented. Eleven (11) land use measures were approved for continuation or continuation with modification to include additional area. Three implementation measures were approved. These determinations are set forth in detail in a Record of Approval signed by the FAA on April 4, 2008. The Record of Approval, as well as other evaluation materials and the documents comprising the submiftal, are available for review at the FAA office listed above and at the administrative office of the Kenton County Airport Board.
