The following information has been posted on the WAAM website under Current Information and Updates
FAA Proposal that will allow heavier (and therefore larger) jets to land at MCA.
For information and the full text of this proposal, go to the WAAM website, Current Information and Updates where you

The FAA is proposing that weight restrictions be modified/lifted at some airports. This proposal will affect the Martin
County Airport. You can make your written objections to this proposal by going the the following site:

click on
"Dockets Open for Comments" and choose
"Weight Based Restrictions at Airport; Proposed Policy" (8 down from the top)
or if you prefer to write
Comments on the proposed policy must be delivered on mailed, in duplicate, to: the Docket Management System, U.S.

It is important that each and every one of us concerned about the growth that we seen at the Martin County Airport,
get involved and write or email your objection to this very harmful FAA proposal.
Thank you,
Your WAAM Board of Directors
