Noise from Anchorage international Airport Theresa Maser, Noise Program Manager, and Bill Chord, chief air traffic controller, discussed reasons for increased aircraft noise over the RPCC area. Over-water takeoffs and landings are preferred but airport construction, weather, congested air space, or pilot preference may lead to flights over our area. To report excessive noise, call the hot line at 266-2648 and report the exact time of the noise. Ms. Maser can then track down the plane that made the noise and discuss the complaint with air traffic control or notify the airline and pilot. Picnic Area on E. 24th Ave.
