WATF Recommendation

A homebuyer who is considering the purchase of a home in or near the Aircraft Noise Impact Overlay District should ask the appropriate questions and do the necessary research to ensure that the decision to buy a property with exposure to aircraft noise and flight operations is one with which they can be satisfied. What is tolerable to some people is unacceptable to others, and it is up to the purchaser to determine their threshold for such flight activities before making the purchase.

Convenient access to the airport may be just what a particular homebuyer desires, but even if no aircraft are seen or heard when the home or home site is inspected, they should consider whether or not they would be affected by flight operations under different weather conditions and operating patterns.
