An Act relative to noise report data and good neighbor policy at Beverly Regional Airport
This bill requires the Massachusetts Aeronautics Division to collect and publish noise complaints and flight operation data at Beverly Regional Airport annually between April and October, making the information publicly accessible on the Division's website. It also mandates the creation of a Good Neighbor policy to educate pilots and flight schools about the noise impact of training flights on nearby residents, including providing guidance materials and sample policies. Additionally, the bill establishes a process for public meetings where residents can question airport officials about noise concerns and requires all new airport badge applicants to receive a copy of the Good Neighbor policy.
