NOISE ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETING
July 19, 1980
A Noise Advisory Committee Meeting was held prior to the
regularly scheduled Airport Commission Meeting.
Members of the Committee in attendance were Robert McGrady, Jack
Sullivan and Thomas H. C. Giffin, as well a the Commissioners,
Chairman Charles Mayhew, Alexander Craig, Ronald Russell and E.
Foley Vaughan.
It was noted that the FAA has agreed to placing noise advisory
statements on ATIS.
Airport Manager Norris indicated several compliments regarding
improvement in noise control over last year. When Complaints are
received, it is recorded and the offending airline (if known)
receives a copy of the complaint, along with the Noise Abatement
pamphlet, to be given to the pilot guilty of the infraction.
Manager Norris indicated that the Cisco area may still be a
"noise" problem area.
Mr. McGrady responded to Commissioner Craig's inquiry of some
aircraft still flying low, stating that they are generally
sightseeing aircraft or general aviation. Commissioner Craig
then noted that the recent military aircraft noise incident had
been resolved, and this was confirmed by Mr. McGrady. Mr.
McGrady spoke with various military personnel and was assured of
their cooperation in the future.
Commissioner Craig wrote a letter to Manager Norris, with a copy
to the Board of Selectmen, regarding the problem with seaplanes.
Mr. McGrady stated the FAA had no control over them. Chairman
Mayhew recommended these seaplanes be identified, if possible,
and the Noise Advisory Committee send them a letter concerning
the noise. Liability for seaplanes landing in the ponds and
flying close to the beaches is under the jurisdiction of the
Town.
Manager Norris will make arrangements for another meeting in
August.
