- Pilot/Aircraft Owner Education Program is built upon a collaborative effort with pilots and aviation businesses that use the airport. Airport staff and Noise Compatibility Committee members meet regularly with various groups to discuss the effectiveness of the noise measures. Letters are mailed monthly to all operators flying during the voluntary curfew, reiterating the importance of flying as quietly as possible and observing the curfew.
- Public Information Program to inform residents of key noise initiatives at the airport and to discuss in an open forum ways to reduce the impact of airport noise.
