Narrative:
Departure aircraft departing runways 22L and 22R are vectored by departure control to remain south of the runway 27 arrival airspace and must also be vectored to remain north of a peninsula for noise abatement. Due to noise procedures; aircraft come close to final airspace; mostly due to wind conditions. To prevent this occurrence; aircraft should be allowed to be vectored over the peninsula.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: A DEPARTING ACR WAS VECTORED TOO CLOSE TO THE FINAL APCH COURSE RESULTING IN LOSS OF SEPARATION WITH AN ARRIVING ACR.
Narrative: DEP ACFT DEPARTING RWYS 22L AND 22R ARE VECTORED BY DEP CTL TO REMAIN S OF THE RWY 27 ARR AIRSPACE AND MUST ALSO BE VECTORED TO REMAIN N OF A PENINSULA FOR NOISE ABATEMENT. DUE TO NOISE PROCS; ACFT COME CLOSE TO FINAL AIRSPACE; MOSTLY DUE TO WIND CONDITIONS. TO PREVENT THIS OCCURRENCE; ACFT SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO BE VECTORED OVER THE PENINSULA.
