Background

The Airport prepared a Federal Aviation Regulation Part 150 Noise Compatibility Study (FAR Part 150 Study) to examine aircraft noise exposure on the communities surrounding GIAA. The FAR Part 150 Study was completed and approved by the FAA in 2003. A series of recommendations to reduce aircraft noise exposure were adopted as a result of the FAA's approval of the FAR Part 150 Noise Compatibility Program. These included the sound insulation of approximately 500 residences, to be completed in phases that will occur over several years.
