Collins, Mark T (FAA) Subject: FW: ACTION ITEM: MOR Alert - SJC-M-2016/01/26-0002 - ASA830 (B738)- AVAYA MEDIA BOARD PROBLEM Importance: High From: Patterson, Tonya (FAA) Sent: Wednesday, January 27, 2016 7:38 AM To: 'David Kaval'; Curt Eikerman (CEikerman@sjc.org) Cc: Durham, Brian (FAA); 'Greene, Cary'; Goodell, Victor L (FAA); DiBernardo, Tony (FAA) Subject: FW: ACTION ITEM: MOR Alert - SJC-M-2016/01/26-0002 - ASA830 (B738)- AVAYA MEDIA BOARD PROBLEM Importance: High Hello Mr. Kaval, it is imperative that we find a better solution to this media board during dark hours. Here are more complaints from last night at the airport. The next time that I receive these reports I will be contacting the airport and asking for their assistance in having this board turned off or call your stadium contact directly, regardless of the time of night. The biggest problem appears to be with certain bright blues and whites and when they alternate and flash as your board changes ads it blinds the pilots. This needs to be discussed further and a solution to assist our airport operators and ensure the safety of those flying in and out of SJC airport. These reports have been shared with others within the FAA and airport staff.
