"Good neighbors keep their noise to themselves."

Your comments are needed to quiet the noisy skies!

Time is running out.
Comments must now be emailed before Midnight on Monday, Oct. 23, 2000.

The Federal Aviation Administration recently published its Draft Noise Abatement Policy. This Policy provides guidelines for most FAA actions related to alleviating aviation noise. The last revision occurred in 1976, so it is likely that we will be stuck with this new policy for 25 more years-- or until 2025!

The current draft policy has a number of objectionable features and glaring ommissions (please see the table below). The time is now to make this policy stronger and ask the FAA to listen to citizens who live with aviation noise. We have until October 23, 2000 to make ourselves heard over the roar of airplanes!
