AI Summary

  • O'Hare International Airport's Fly Quiet Program establishes voluntary noise abatement flight procedures first instituted in 1997, with compliance overseen by the O'Hare Noise Compatibility Commission comprising Cook County, 41 municipalities, and 16 school districts.

  • As of 2015, aircraft compliance with approved takeoff flight paths was only 30% during nighttime hours, with runway departure point 22L showing only 40% compliance, causing significant noise pollution to nearby residential and commercial areas.

  • Calls for O'Hare to implement artificial-intelligence noise monitoring software coupled with Community Noise Equivalent Level technology to match perceived noise to specific individual flights and gauge individual airline compliance with Fly Quiet guidelines.

  • Urges the Chicago Department of Aviation to select a trusted third party to share noise compliance data and develop a quarterly public ranking chart showing each airline's compliance with Fly Quiet Program guidelines.

  • Requests that airline compliance charts and data be formally considered in any future decisions regarding reallocation of departure gates and support facilities at O'Hare International Airport.
