In the spring of 2005, the New Jersey Coalition Against Aircraft Noise (NJCAAN) unearthed a summary of the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA's) internal policy document on the Metro Airspace Redesign titled "New York Integrated Control Complex (NYICC) Concept of Operations" (aka Integrated Airspace with the Integrated Control Complex). The FAA apparently provided this summary report to the "Syndicat National des Controleurs du Trafic Aerien"—a French air traffic controller group--in preparation for a Washington D.C. conference in the fall of 2004.

This report contains the following diagrams that the FAA excluded from the draft environmental impact statement (DEIS) for the redesign project.

1) A diagram of the expected decrease in separation standards (Figure 7).

2) Low altitude holding pattern locations and configurations (Figure 11 & 13).

3) Area overview of the departure and arrival configurations for the NYICC (Figure 9). This figure includes an Ocean Routing track and two Oceanic Routing tracks for Newark Airport departures.

In addition, the report provides a concise summary of the NYICC, which is absent from the DEIS. Click the below tab to review the report.
