We have this news brief in print this morning: The Federal Aviation Administration has scheduled a public meeting June 27 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Route 70 and Cuthbert Boulevard in Cherry Hill, to hear comments about its airspace redesign plan for the Philadelphia and New York areas. The meeting, scheduled for 6:30 to 9 p.m., was set at the request of members of Congress from New Jersey, who complained that hundreds of their constituents were not able to get into a similar May 1 meeting in Tinicum Township for lack of space. The airspace plan, which could change takeoff patterns from Philadelphia International Airport, has generated opposition in parts of Delaware County and South Jersey because of the potential increase in aircraft noise in residential areas. The FAA expects to complete its study of the plan in late August
