Will the meeting be accessible to the public after the session. Also I have been calling the FAA noise hotline frequently these past weeks as the larger, noisier and low-flying planes seem to have increased. In my Woodchester Drive neighborhood, it is common to have the planes passing at 3 minute intervals….this is not an exaggeration. but recorded fact. In fact, sometimes, they are so frequent that one hears a 2nd one coming before the first one has cleared. While I am not happy about the frequency, it is the squealing of the engines in the low flyers that is very unsettling. Of course, I could call the hotline for almost every plane, but I am calling for only the noisiest and lowest flying, the latter to determine if they are below 2000 ft. and only when I am outside and can see that they are especially low. The problem is getting a printed confirmation of the altitude and make of the plane from the hotline verifiers takes approx 2-3 weeks or more. I wish more residents would call 617 561-3333 and report the worst offenders.
