"Illegitimi non carborundum"

"MWAA Reagan National Community Noise Working Group (CWG) www.flyreagan.com/about-airport/aircraft-noise-information/dca-reagan-national-community-working-group was established in October 2015 to engage broad-based community participation to identify practical aircraft noise solutions and recommendations to the FAA".  The PCA Aircraft Noise Committee chair represents Ward 3 on the CWG.

Commerce Committee ranking member Sen. Teddy-boy Cruz (R-Texas) and his pals forced 10 more flights in/out of DCA.

1) We tried, but the special interest airlines and Senate allies forced 10 more flights per day into the FAA reauthorization bill. More noise! More Accidents! SAD!  Thank you for your interest and support. See what cities may be serviced by the new flights? 

2) The 2015 FAA NextGen project created concentrated NOISE SEWERS over the Palisades.  The enviornmental danger from noise sewers are comparable to health dangers from water, air, or ground pollution.  Catch up on past Issues and background regarding efforts to abate noise pollution.

Thank you Palisades and other D.C. residents who submitted 155 comments last summer to the FAA on its Noise Policy Review Federal Register Notice to revise its noise policy.   The FAA received 4,800 comments/responses to its survey Read the update FAA policy survey results. The FAA site has useful links and webinars to better understand its procedures and taxonomy.
