Now mandatory requirements by the Federal government that are working to phase out noisier aircraft. These new requirements have led to technological developments in the aircraft industry, in regards to developing quieter aircraft. Aircraft that do not meet these mandated standards have to be replaced or retrofitted, before they can fly ("Noise abatement program," n.d.). Land use is the third prong of MCO's noise reduction plan.
Acquisition of land both north and south of the main terminals is a significant assistance in reducing noise, for the airport. This is especially true as landings and takeoffs are north-south. Lake Warren lies directly north of the two largest runways, and it is sparsely populated directly south of these two runways. However, land is developed directly to the west of the airport boundaries.
Conclusion: Recommendations for Resolution of the Problem
Currently, MCO is managing noise as effectively as possible. Given the size of the airport and quantity of flights it services, noise is going to continue to be a challenge. Other airports may be able to implement plans such as limiting the number of flights that come in the middle of the night or re-directing flight patterns to avoid high density populations -- neither of these are realistic for MCO. Despite these challenges, the airport is well-located.
Positioning it to the south east of town, in a lesser developed area, has minimized noise pollution for Orlando residents proper. One recommendation for future operational procedures would...
These notifications will alert potential land developers of the occurrence of aircraft noise. Although these notices do not specifically reduce noise, they do decrease the quantity of incidents where property owners are complaining about noise.
Noise pollution is a common environmental concern for airports and MCO is no different. The airport has a three-pronged plan in place to minimize noise that involves -- operational procedures, Federal mandates, and land use. The airport, in general, is doing a good job minimizing noise pollution; however, future recommendations include giving waiver of claims and notice of aircraft activity forms to land owners and developers, to minimize noise complaints.

Port Everglades is a predominantly industrial area, with a container port and cruise ship port. Overall, however, noise levels at FLL for all airlines are below the federal standards. The effort to manage noise pollution at FLL is ongoing. The airport authorities have submitted Noise Mitigation Principles to the FAA and are awaiting feedback on a preferred alternative for noise mitigation. The Broward County Board of County Commissioners also has
Air traffic has continued to increase and it now constitutes a considerable proportion of the travelling public. The amount of long-hour flights has increased significantly. Based on the International Civil Aviation authority, air traffic can be anticipated to double amid till 2020. Airline travel, especially over longer distances, makes air travelers vulnerable to numerous facets that will impact their health and well-being. Particularly, the speed with which influenza spreads and
According to these airlines, the public can help by contacting their Congress people. According to the airlines in question, there are in fact (or have been) regulations in place in order to discourage the phenomenon of uncontrolled speculation and manipulation in world markets. These have however been weakened or removed, resulting in the rapid rise of fuel prices today. The claim is in fact that rising demand and diminishing supply
The management of large organizations is a very crucial issue, whether they are government-related or not (Argyris, 1993; Argyris & Schon, 1978; Broom, Jackson, Harris, & Vogelsang-Coombs, n.d.; Brown & Brudney, 2003; Hatry, 1999; Haynes, 1999). Often, however, the government does not seem to realize that it must manage itself in the same way that a business would in certain aspects if it is to succeed and therefore it

Compliance with Government Regulations and Current Issues - Initially, this joint venture between the Walt Disney Company and the Hong Kong government appeared successful as evidenced by the huge crowd it attracted since its opening on September 12, 2005 (Great Holidays and Hotels 2004, Giezl 2005). The very next day, Park chairman George Mitchell arranged for the opening of a second park in the adjacent lot. The government required an
