The objective of aviation-related land use planning is to guide incompatible land uses away from the airport environs and to encourage compatible land uses to locate around airport facilities. This compatible land use guide has been prepared for airport managers, local land use planners, developers, and elected or appointed public officials. Its purpose is to provide information on FAA programs and sources of support and to promote an understanding of land use compatibility planning issues around airports that could result in improved compatibility in the airport environs. While not the only compatibility issue, aircraft noise has been the primary driver of airport land use compatibility conflicts. Since the introduction of turbo jet aircraft in the late 1950s, there has been a constant technical effort to reduce aircraft noise emissions. Although there has been significant reduction in aircraft engine noise, little more can be expected in the field of noise-reduction technology. Consequently the focus must now be on airport-specific noise and land use compatibility planning. |
