Book Description
This revised draft environmental impact statement evaluates the impacts of supersonic flight operations in the Sells Military Operations Area/Air Traffic Control Assigned Airspace (ATCAA) as part of the review of the existing supersonic waiver to conduct supersonic flight operations below 30,000 feet mean sea level. This document also discusses current and future Air Force and Air National Guard aircrew training in the airspace over the Tohono O'Odham Indian Reservation and Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument in Southern Arizona. Training in this airspace, is conducted primarily by AIR FORCE and ANG units stationed at Luke AFB and Williams AFB near Phoenix, and at Davis-Monthan AFB and Tucson International Airport near Tucson, AZ. Other users of the airspace include ANG units from other states during winter months; USAF aircraft from Nellis AFB, NV, and Holloman AFB, NM; and Navy and Marine Corps aircraft from Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Yuma, AZ, MCAS E1 Toro, Naval Air Station Miramar, CA. and various carriers of the Pacific Fleet. The airspace is regularly used for exercises that may be attended by participants from any unit or base in the U.S. The environmental impacts are a result of the aircraft flying greater than the speed of sound, and flying low level at subsonic speeds. The impacts are air pollutants, low level jet noise and sonic booms.

Book Description
The Air Force flies supersonic flight operations in the Sells Military Operations Area (MOA)/Air Traffic Control Assigned Airspace (ATCAA). Review of the existing supersonic waiver to conduct supersonic flight operations below 30,000 feet was accomplished. Several alternatives were reviewed to include the 'no-action' option. These alternatives were broken down into low altitude flight training and Sells Airspace supersonic training sections. In the low altitude section, the RDEIS reviewed establishing flying routes at other bases, rerouting military training routes, raising the minimum altitude on MTRs, discontinuing low level navigation flying, and developing additional routes. The supersonic training alternatives included transferring supersonic training to other MOAs/ATCAAs or restricted areas, raising supersonic training floors, discontinuing training, and establishing a new training area. The primary environmental concerns of supersonic flight operations are the effects of sonic booms on human health and annoyance, wildlife, structures, cultural resources and recreational activities.
