Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) – January 2025 to Current

AICA is active in representing communities directly affected by Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) in federal legislation, policy development, research, and industry practices. This ongoing project area includes AICA’s presentations, policy materials, research participation, and AAM resources, including Darlene Yaplee, AICA President and Co-Founder, contributing author for NASA’s Urban Air Mobility Noise: 2025 Update on Current Practice, Gaps, and Recommendations and author of AAM presentations for the Aviation Noise & Emissions Symposium (ANES). As AAM continues to emerge, AICA’s work focuses on ensuring that communities’ lived experience is represented in decisions about AAM noise, operations, and impacts.

“Community Engagement or DIS-Engagement” Presentation at Aviation Noise and Emissions (ANE) Symposium by Darlene Yaplee – May 2022

This presentation will discuss Community Engagement based on the speaker’s experience and perspectives from additional members of aviation-impacted communities. Is the term “community” used consistently? What is “meaningful engagement” for people near flight paths? Who is the “community” in Community Engagement? The presentation was subsequently covered by Airport Noise Report (ANR).
