[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry to ask, but can someone other than the clearly very-bothered individual who makes all of the airplane noise posts on this forum please chip in their perspectives on airplane noise in the Cabin John, Potomac, Glen Echo, Palisades neighborhoods? I was over there today and it didn't seem that bad.[/quote]

We live in one of those hoods and it does not bother us.

That said local communities were very proactive in lobbying to get better enforcement of existing laws and to reduce air traffic. [/quote]

Air traffic increased. This is the highest it has ever been.

The airlines succeeded in adding several long haul flights as an exception to the perimeter rule.

Efforts to create a better balance between north flow and south flow operations were stifled by a small minority.

Proactive does not mean successful. [/quote]

Who are the people to write emails to in order for the community to demand action here? It seems like the current people representing the northflow communities are not doing their job.[/quote]

This! I also would like to know. [/quote]

This was posted fairly recently. It is a list of community representatives from DC, Fairfax, PG, Arlington and Montgomery. They are responsible for all the recent changes in flight paths.

Thanks a lot. I just wrote our three MoCo reps an email about the increase in northflow operations. I hope they will respond.[/quote]

I believe the person was writing that there were too many northbound operations which resulted in a lot of noise in Bethesda. [/quote]

Nah, PP wrote it on purpose to confuse people.[/quote]

It only shows how far some are willing to go when the issue comes up. [/quote]

Not sure what both of you were confused about. I am the one that wrote the committee members. I live near GEH and was specifically talking about the increase in planes flying north, over Bethesda.[/quote]

Got it. Thanks. we need to have a better balance between departures and arrivals on both sides of the airport. The faa needs to stop defaulting to northflow operations all the time. All these programs like Fly Quiet are fine but will not bring much relief to people living north of the airport.

I wrote to the committee members today too. Others need to do the same not just from Montgomery county but also from palisades, Georgetown and Arlington. Community representatives on the dca working group are not doing their job.
