Wondering Why Planes Flying Are Over Anchorage Again Today?

The summer of planes flying over the city ended October 1, 2019, when the two summer long work to upgrade the North-South runway was completed.

But there have been a few times since then that they've been back rumbling overhead, including today.

I checked with the airport and Teri Lindseth told me:

  1. Today, FAA is doing a scheduled check on Instrument Approach and Landing instruments and it should be completed by 5:30 this afternoon if all goes right.  
  2. Earlier night closures were due to wind.
  3. Earlier day closures were due to need to work on electrical equipment on the North-South runway
