Excessive low flying airplane noise has very severe since the FAA changed flight path and implemented next Gen (GPS) technology in the last few years. FAA did so using a legal loophole “Categorial Exclusion” without conducting proper environmental studies, and with zero public input and hearing. Chuck Schumer was the only democrat that gave FAA free pass to use Brooklyn as a runway. This past year has been much worse. It’s all over Brooklyn and Queens. Dumbo, Park Slope, Forte Greene, Clinton Hill, Bed Stuy, Forte Hamilton, Kensington, Sunset Park, Bay Ridge, East Williamsburg, Dykers Heights….among others have been crop dusted by these constant low flying planes. Brooklynites should wake up and tell their representative in City Council, and Senate and Congress to correct this. FAA is doing so to boost the airline industry’s profit, at the expense of our health and quality of life!!
