[quote=Anonymous]MoCo representatives argue in their email that they will not support the efforts to have a more equitable distribution of noise by balancing south and north flow operations because "the FAA is not receptive to putting community noise concerns before their operational needs".

An interesting statement considering that Montgomery County has just asked the FAA to eliminate the stormy weather procedure from Potomac and the FAA complied! The agency agreed to start the procedure intended to aid pilots in poor visibility conditions not over Potomac but further south. The only factors that were considered by the FAA were the noise impacts on Potomac.

The email also states that this month a group representing a community south of the airport is planning to raise the issue of excessive use of north flow operations by the FAA. MoCo representatives do not appear concerned as if that group from south of the airport was not influential enough to be effective and sway the FAA.

I hope that the unknown community south of the airport will receive the same level of consideration from our federal government as their counterparts to the north. [/quote]
