Federal Register Comment on FAA Enabling Supersonic Overland Flight – August 2026

AICA’s public comment, submitted to the Federal Register, Docket No. FAA-2026-6935. The comment finds that the FAA’s proposed interim framework for supersonic overland flight does not yet provide the noise, vibration, operational, community-response, and environmental evidence needed to support authorizations of unspecified scope and duration. AICA recommends that the FAA evaluate all pressure disturbances and acoustic signals that may reach the Earth’s surface, require monitoring and reporting of actual operations, establish common operating boundaries and evaluation milestones, and use the resulting evidence to inform environmental review, FAA noise-policy work, and future supersonic decisions.

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.
