Resident input wanted for airport noise study
Residents are encouraged to provide public input into a study being conducted by Centennial Airport to evaluate possible ways to reduce noise. After a 60-day public comment period, the airport's study, referred to as a "Part 150 Study," will be presented to the Federal Aviation Administration for review.
The study provides the airport the opportunity to evaluate its Noise Compatibility Program, and propose alternatives or changes to airport operations that might reduce noise in surrounding communities. While city officials can provide feedback, they are not involved in the study and do not control decisions ultimately made by the FAA.
Centennial Airport officials are providing several recommendations to the FAA, including:
Residents who want to provide input should contact Linda Bruce in the FAA's Denver Office at 303-342-1264 or Linda.bruce@faa.gov. For the complete study and list of recommendations, as well as a complete copy of the city's recommendations, go to http://www.centennialairport.com/ or view a copy at any Aurora Public Library. For questions about Aurora's position on the study, go to http://www.auroragov.org/ or call Karen Hancock, the city's Airport Noise Coordinator, at 303-739-7107. Below is a form letter than can be printed and submitted to the FAA.

Dear Ms. Bruce:
I would like to provide comments on the Centennial Airport Part 150 Study, as requested in the February 22, 2008, Federal Register. I have reviewed the Noise Compatibility Program recommendations and have identified that the following flight track changes have the potential to increase aircraft noise over Aurora neighborhoods:
I oppose these recommendations and urge FAA not to approve these flight tracks. In addition, I request that the preferential runway be used more frequently to reduce the number of flights over my neighborhood.
Sincerely,
