How does RMMA reconcile with the FAA and individual pilots who do not comply with the voluntary noise abatement program?

We continually promote our program to our tenants and users and conduct quarterly meetings with the FAA control tower manager. As part of the ongoing campaign, airport staff visits many airport tenants with maps and information about why aircraft noise is a critical issue that everyone must help to mitigate. Because the program is voluntary, we focus on the most frequent airport users. It is important to note that business jets are normally on instrument flight rules (IFR) flight plans when arriving and departing, meaning they are limited in what they can do to minimize their noise footprint. As newer and quieter aircraft hit the market, airport noise will be noticeably reduced. We continue to gather information from the National Business Aircraft Association noise mitigation programs. For more information, contact us at 303-271-4850.
