o instruct all aircraft departing on Runway 8 to maintain runway heading until past the ITO VORTAC and at an altitude of 1,000 feet or until crossing the shoreline; o Advise users to favor Runway 26 for arrivals and Runway 8 for departures during the nighttime hours of 10:00p.m. to 7:OOa.m.; and o Advise users that Hilo International Airport is noise sensitive and request that overflights of noise sensitive areas and repetitive training operations be minimized. (The locations of noise sensitive areas in relation to the airport should be shown on a map and published with the Informal Preferential Runway Use Program.) The State DOT proposes to draft a proposed -informal preferential runway use program and submit it to the FAA for modification and/or approval. Volume II, pages 5-9. NO ACTION REQUIRED AT THIS TIME. This measure relates to flight procedures and is not subject to the 180 -day formal review period. The State DOT's submission to FAA of a proposed informal preferential runway use program along the lines described above must include supporting evidence that the proposed closure of Runway 3-21 at night is not an access or noise restriction subject to the Airport Noise and Capacity Act of 1990 and FAR Part 161. Supporting evidence would include information that the runway prohibition is a voluntary advisory one that is subject to weather, safety, traffic conditions, and normal pilot discretion. 2. Encourage relocation of military training operations. This measure would request military users to minimize their use of Hilo International Airport and maximize their use of Keahole and Lihue airports for repetitive training operations. Additionally, operators of heavy military jet aircraft should be advised of the concerns and impacts of repetitive, low level overflights, and should be requested to utilize full -stop procedures over the eastern end of the airport for training.
