Community Education Series
Community Engagement is critical to the FAA’s ability to maintain a safe, efficient airspace. Education and awareness around issues like aviation noise help those impacted better understand the FAA’s role in addressing public concern.
A variety of factors contribute to aircraft noise that may cause disturbance for residents near airports and below flight paths. In this education series, we discuss the causes of noise exposure, and how the FAA is collaborating with airports, operators, and communities to address it.
Aviation and Governance Infographic
Federal laws, regulations, and policies are the building blocks of our national airspace system. Here is a quick overview of aviation governance as it relates to noise.

Video: Stakeholders in Aviation
Stakeholders are responsible for determining the number of airport runways and flights per day, the aircraft’s destination, and amount of air cargo scheduled for shipping. This video provides an overview of the key organizations and individuals, or stakeholders, involved in the management of aircraft noise.
Video: Aviation Noise
Addressing aviation noise requires collaboration among the FAA, air carriers, airports, aircraft manufacturers, research universities, other stakeholders and industry partners, local communities, and elected officials.
Video: Benefits of Aviation
The FAA works cooperatively with Airports and Airlines to navigate the growing industry, while safely and efficiently guiding aircraft to their destinations. This video details the many benefits generated by aviation beyond getting passengers from point A to point B.
Video: Complexities of the NAS
The National Airspace System is composed of airspace, technology, procedures, and most of all, people. Everyone involved plays an important role in guiding tens of thousands of flights per day under a variety of complex circumstances. This video provides an overview of the NAS and its complexities.
Video: Airspace Modernization
A modernized NAS provides flexibility, precision, and predictability for safe and efficient operations. This video provides an overview of the FAA’s ongoing initiatives to modernize airspace navigation in the United States.
Video: Environmental Considerations
Managing the National Airspace System includes addressing the environmental impacts of aviation, such as climate change, air quality, and noise. In this video we discuss how aviation has evolved, and how technological advancements have decreased aircraft emissions and reduced the number of people exposed to aircraft noise.
