That is a very low height and is not a height we would have been used to when we were trawling through dockets. I really appreciate the IAA appearing before the committee today and I appreciate that its role is not directly related to the problems we are having locally but I really appreciate Mr. Fitzpatrick providing clarity insofar as he can.

Mr. Fitzpatrick mentioned that when the SIDs are presented to the IAA, it would go through a consultation process with the proposer of the SID. Is that a discretionary consultation process? Who is consulted? Is it the proposer plus the airlines? Is there a standard consultation process the presenter of the SID must go through or does it just have a consultation process of any kind?
