For one of the numbered assignments listed below or otherwise approved in advance by your instructor, and guided by the rubric shown here, research,
write and post through Turnitin™, a 10-12 page (including cover page & references) double-spaced research paper in APA format. Identify current issues,
regulations and practices & address related legal considerations on your chosen topic, using proper legal terminology throughout. You must cite at
least 5 references, one of which can be our textbook, if applicable. If you propose an alternative topic for approval by your instructor, your outline
must show that your approach will relate that topic to at least 4 of the course Learning Outcomes listed in the Course Syllabus and that it will
require the same level of inquiry and legal analysis as these.

This is the abstract that you have already written for me. I would like to keep the same writer.
San Francisco Airport
San Francisco International Airport is an internationally recognized airport located 21 kilometers south of San Francisco, California, USA. It has
flights to Asia, Europe, and North America. The county and city of San Francisco, in San Mateo County, owns and polices the airport. From 1999 – 2004,
the San Francisco Airport Commission contracted city-owned SFO Enterprises Inc., to manage the business purchases as well as venture operations. San
Francisco is the operations base for Virgin America, with services to more than 20 destinations. As an affiliate of the Registered Traveller program
between 2007 and 2009, San Francisco airport allowed passengers that had registered for pre-screening to go past security checkpoints quickly.
Transportation Security Administration contractor- Covenant Aviation Security operates screening of baggage and passengers. The airport has engineered
materials arrestor system (EMAS) on runways 1R-19L and 1L-19R. San Francisco airport was among the pioneer airports that implemented the Fly Quiet
Program, which ranks airlines on performance over procedures of noise abatement when flying out of and in to San Francisco. The Aircraft Noise
Abatement Office launched the program as a way of encouraging airlines to operate quietly at San Francisco. San Francisco airport was among the first
airports in the US to undertake a residential sound abatement retrofitting program. Established by the FAA, the program assessed the cost efficiency of
decreasing levels of interior sound for homes bordering the airport, in the 65 CNEL noise contour. The airport has witnessed 4 accidents in 2007, 2008,
2013, and 2017.
