The public is being asked to comment on an FAA draft environmental assessment (EA) on proposed revised ATC procedures and other developments for Chicago O’Hare International Airport. The FAA is proposing to permanently implement a 2.5-degree offset (angled) approach procedures at O'Hare for Runways 10R/28L that were temporarily approved in 2015. With 3,100 feet separating Runways 10R/28L and the adjacent parallel Runways 10C/28C, the final approaches to 10R and 28L must be offset from their extended centerline to allow independent simultaneous approaches to 10R and 10C, or to 28L and 28C under current operating rules. In addition to the amended approach procedures, the EA considers future developments at O'Hare from 2023 through 2032, including terminal projects, on-airport hotels, airfield and taxiway improvements, and support facilities. Comments on the draft EA are due by July 18. The FAA also will hold two public meetings in early July.
