Aircraft Noise Reduction Act

This bill would require the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to consult with the owner or operator of a general aviation airport, when asked, to make reasonable adjustments to air traffic and training patterns of noncommercial charter flights in order to limit aircraft noise. The airport and the FAA would have to consider input from people and groups in nearby communities. Federal funds could not be withheld or denied to an airport based solely on these noise-related actions, though the FAA could reject or temporarily restrict adjustments during an emergency. The Secretary of Transportation would also update federal regulations to let general aviation airports carry out noise abatement measures they find appropriate.
