Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 46110, Rule 15(a) of the Federal Rules of Appellate
Procedure, and Circuit Rule 15-1, the City of Los Angeles hereby petitions the
United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit Court for review of the
following final orders issued by the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”):
(1) FAA’s publication and implementation of its North Downwind approach
procedures to the Los Angeles International Airport (“Arrival Routes”) on
May 24, 2018. The FAA’s final orders were the final culmination of a
series of decisions that are cumulatively documented in schematic
drawings of the Arrival Routes attached as Attachments A through C to
this Petition:
(A) HUULL TWO ARRIVAL (RNAV), published on May 24, 2018;
(B) IRNMN TWO ARRIVAL (RNAV), published on May 24, 2018;
and
(C) RYDRR TWO ARRIVAL (RNAV), published on May 24, 2018.
(2) FAA’s decision to restrict public comments regarding FAA flight
procedures as set forth in a published disclaimer on FAA’s Instrument
Flight Procedures (IFP) Information Gateway website, where FAA
publishes flight procedures for review and public comment. FAA’s
disclaimer prohibits access to its IFP Gateway site unless the user
affirmatively acknowledges that FAA will not consider comments
