San Fernando Valley : GROUNDED
Burbank Airport commissioners will vote today on whether to take the first step toward a mandatory curfew on all flights from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m., a move welcomed by nearby residents who have long complained about aircraft noise.
The airport now has voluntary curfews, which work about as well as they would for teen-agers: seven commercial airplanes are scheduled to land at Burbank Airport from 10 p.m. to 12:15 a.m. each weeknight, and six more depart between 6 a.m. and 7 a.m.
