POINT LOMA — In response to a Peninsula Community Planning Board (PCPB) request last month for a state audit of Lindbergh Field and its flight departure headings that take jets directly over Peninsula neighborhoods, state Sen. Christine Kehoe sent a letter to the PCPB board Sept. 13. In the letter, Kehoe said she is looking into the audit request. “The selection process [for audits] is rigorous,” Kehoe wrote, “which is why gathering data from the local Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) staff and the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority on how incoming an exiting flights at Lindbergh Field are monitored is important.” Kehoe explained in the letter that any request for a state audit would have to take place in December, when the next legislative session begins. The next step in the process is for Kehoe to bring the request before the State Audit Committee, who would then engage the state auditor.
