Frederick plans to curb airport noise aims for enforcement
Frederick officials unveiled an airport noise abatement plan with an aerial map of noise sensitive areas. City Airport Manager Charles Abell said the plan, created with URS Greiner and local groups, urges pilots to avoid overflight below pattern altitudes. Residents Bettie Brust and William Ashton urged enforceable teeth, though Abell noted FAA airspace rules limit city power. Only six hotline calls since January suggest limited noise issues, with some improvements reported.
