Issue Overview

Since around 2016, there has been an increase in noise pollution from Centennial Airport, and it’s getting worse. They have multiple flight schools operating out of the airport, with pilots practicing flying 24/7 over people’s homes, schools, daycare centers, and medical offices/hospitals. People here used to be able to sit outside in their yards, or walk along the Highline Canal, enjoying the great outdoors. Now, all you hear is the sound of low-frequency engines. They sometimes zoom over houses in the middle of the night, waking residents up. The noise is next to impossible to mitigate, and even within homes I hear the near constant drone of prop planes and turbo prop planes. There’s no way to have windows open at night in the warmer months, and energy usage has gone up from the air conditioning. People have spent thousands on insulation and new windows, and it has no effect on the noise. The airport insists it cannot do anything about it. Pilots will tell me I should have never moved here. How can something which has clearly been documented to cause health issues be allowed to continue on with no regulations?
