The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has approved a Noise Compatibility Program (NCP) Update for the Naples Municipal Airport, submitted by the Naples Airport Authority. This approval includes nine measures such as land use changes and program management steps to address noise concerns around the airport. However, the FAA has delayed action on a recommended noise abatement procedure for revised flight operations, pending further review. The FAA's decision follows regulations ensuring the program's measures align with safety and legal standards while minimizing noise impact on nearby communities.
Simple Explanation
The people in charge of airplanes have a plan to make the airport in Naples quieter for everyone living nearby. They said yes to most of the ideas, like using land differently and making smart choices, but they need to think a bit more about changing how planes fly.
