This 2015 presentation from Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) provides a final update on LAX's application under FAR Part 161, a federal process requiring airports to prove that the benefits of a proposed noise restriction outweigh its costs before the FAA will approve it. The application sought to limit aircraft noise and access at LAX, but was ultimately disapproved by the FAA — consistent with the agency's history of never approving such a restriction at a commercial air carrier airport in the 25 years since the Airport Noise and Capacity Act was enacted in 1990. -
