Noise Abatement Advisory Committee
An integral part of the overall approach
to noise control at Dallas Love Field is communication between
the various parties involved in developing, monitoring and
improving the program. The Love Field Noise Abatement Advisory
Committee was established to provide a forum for discussion
among airport neighbors, airport operators, and Federal and
City aviation representatives on issues related to aircraft
noise and noise abatement at Love Field. Members of the committee
meet monthly to review airport operations, propose changes
in operations, effectiveness of the noise abatement program,
incidents of non-compliance, records of noise complaints and
potential adjustments and improvements to the noise control
program.
The contributions of the Dallas Love Field Noise Abatement
Advisory Committee and the continuing communication between
the interests represented are two of the most important
elements contributing to the success of the program.
A New Generation of Quieter Aircraft
In the late 1960's, the Federal Government established regulations,
(FAR Part 36 and Part 91) which resulted in the phasing out
of the older, noisier aircraft from the nation's fleet and
replace them with newer, quieter and more fuel efficient aircraft.
The Love
Field Policies
Love Field is located in a noise-sensitive area of the city
near residential neighborhoods, which are essential in their
role of providing economic, social and cultural stability
for the City. It is important that the airport be operated
in a manner that allows it to fulfill its vital role of attracting
business to Dallas, while protecting and preserving the quality
of life in the surrounding neighborhoods. In order to balance
these needs, the City of Dallas has adopted policies, which
not only recognize Love Field's importance to the Dallas community
but also establish a noise reduction goal to reduce the impact
of the airport's operations on the neighborhoods.
