A group of airports, local governments and residents asked Congress to order the complete phase-out of all Stage 1 and Stage 2 aircraft in the new FAA reauthorization bill currently being debated.

Morristown, N.J.-based “Sound Initiative: A Coalition for Quieter Skies” wants lawmakers to ban from any airport in the contiguous 48 states civil subsonic jets that weigh 75,000 pounds or less unless they comply with Stage 3 or Stage 4 noise levels. The prohibition would take effect three years after passage of the bill, which Congress wants to do before September 30.
