He said the city doesn't have any jurisdiction over air traffic, though. Kulhanek said sometimes waivers are granted to allow certain planes to fly lower than the normal FAA restrictions. There was a scheduled Coast Guard flyover during Saturday's game against Michigan State University, and Kulhanek said even the military needs to get special approval for that. "And then during the game, you usually need special approval." "They're allowed up to a certain time before game time to fly in the proximity of the stadium and then of course afterward," he said. Matt Kulhanek, the city's airport manager, said all flights around Michigan Stadium must follow Federal Aviation Administration regulations and the local FAA control tower at the Ann Arbor Municipal Airport is in charge of monitoring that. "The last time I checked that's not how you respond to your constituents," he said. Scheltema said he tried reaching out to city officials, but it took more than two weeks to get a response and so far it seems nothing has been done about the situation. "This year we've had a lot of 3:30 games and planes have started at 10 a.m. Flights around Michigan Stadium must follow Federal Aviation Administration regulations and the local FAA control tower at the Ann Arbor Municipal Airport is in charge of monitoring that.Īnn Arbor News file photo"Michigan used to play only 12:30 games," he said.
