<br />Page 9 of 34 <br /> <br /> <br />Primary recommendations from each focus area are discussed below. It is understood <br />that conditions change over time. FAA forecasts suggest continued growth in operations <br />nationwide and ABCx2, expects this to apply to RMMA. Changes in total operations, fleet <br />mix, operation types (i.e. flight training, charter operations, etc.), and land-uses and <br />development on and around the airport, may lead to new opportunities to further expand or <br />enhance the strategies employed to improve compatibility between the airport and <br />surrounding communities. <br />What We Heard – Community and Industry Engagement <br />Community Engagement <br />• There are too many operations and too much noise. <br />o Aircraft are too low. <br />o The aircraft are too loud. <br />o There are too many flights. <br />o The number of operations is rapidly growing. <br />o There are too many training flights. <br />o There should be limits on operations (i.e. when aircraft fly (curfews), where <br />aircraft fly, total operations, aircraft types and sizes, limits on growth, etc.). <br />o There are concerns about the safety of aircraft flying low over homes. <br />• Not enough is being done to reduce airport noise impacts. <br />o Most of the flights are over “my” neighborhood. They avoid overflights of <br />Jefferson County. <br />o The airport is not doing anything to reduce community noise impacts. <br />o The town/city/county needs to do more. <br />o There needs to be more community involvement. <br />o Nothing is done with complaints to the airport/town/city/county. <br />o The flight schools/pilots aren’t even aware of the noise program. <br />o No one told us there would be airplanes flying over our home. <br />41
