2025-09-08Aircraft Noise Reduction Act (H.R. 5205)
H.R. 5205, the Aircraft Noise Reduction Act, is a bill introduced in September 2025 that would allow owners and operators of general aviation airports to work with the FAA to adjust air traffic and training flight patterns in order to reduce aircraft noise in surrounding communities. The bill protects airports from losing federal funding simply for pursuing these noise-reduction measures and requires community input to be considered in the process. It also directs the Secretary of Transportation to update federal regulations to make noise abatement measures more accessible to general aviation airports. -
