Reduced Aircraft Noise: Priority for Residents and Environment
New regulations change the priorities of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), placing flight safety first, followed by efficient airspace use and minimizing noise and other negative impacts of aviation on residents and the environment. This means the FAA will have to consider the impact of flights on people's daily lives and surroundings, potentially leading to changes in flight paths or procedures to reduce disturbances.
Key points
The FAA must now prioritize minimizing aviation noise and other negative impacts on residents as a key priority, alongside safety and efficiency.
Within 12 months, the FAA must update its regulations and mission statement to reflect these new priorities, potentially leading to concrete changes in airspace management.
