- The FAA revised flight paths around the United States under the NextGen plan, which uses more precise, satellite-based navigation to save time, increase how many planes airports can handle and reduce fuel burn and emissions.
- In Maryland, Gov. Larry Hogan has threatened to sue the FAA, saying he has heard from “countless Marylanders” about how aircraft noise around Reagan National and BWI-Marshall airports has made residents “miserable in their own homes.” [Has he heard from you?]
- More information is here. An FAA report proposing concept changes to current arrival and departure flight paths is here.
- DC and Virginia residents are making their complaints known. Maryland residents should also.
