ARE YOU BEING NEGATIVELY IMPACTED BY RECENT
INCREASED LOW-FLYING COMMERCIAL JET NOISE
IN WEST SONOMA COUNTY?
So are we! And we’ve been learning what was changed
and what we can do to push back.

We are not powerless! AND this is a critical time to act!

AND we need more people speaking up now to have the most impact!

YES WE CAN!

The changes made in January or February moved planes significantly lower, and re-routed them from rural areas to new rural residential areas. Resident complaints notably increased! Homes that are nowhere near the airport, and were not on a flight path, are now experiencing many roaring loud commercial jet planes close overhead every day!

This is harming our peace and quiet, quality of life, relaxation and concentration, air quality, health — and property values!

Residents and others weren’t notified in advance of this drastic change to our lives, so we couldn’t object then! Even the airport was surprised by the change.

There are other route options. The planes could fly higher again. The FAA apparently failed to consider these options — or the impact of these changes of people living on the ground.

TAKE THESE OTHER KEY CURRENT ACTIONS
Our strategy to get results with this challenging issue is for many of us to be visible through various channels.
Thus we can get different kinds of help in different parts of the system.

a) STATE YOUR OBJECTIONS TO THIS CHANGE TO THESE OFFICIALS
This is key to show how many people are impacted. That it matters to YOU and your neighbors. And to preserve our rights to object.

We provide you addresses and suggested talking points!
You can write one letter and tweak it to send to various officials.

b) REPORT OVERFLIGHTS.
* This is key to showing how many people are being impacted and thus the need for action. These complaints are summarized in monthly and annual reports.

* Even submitting one complaint is useful! So that you are included in the ongoing count of impacted residences.
* Once a month is better, so it shows in the monthly count.
* And the more reported flights, the better.
