Florida’s Naples Airport Starts Fly Quiet Program
Officials will recognize operators for quiet flying quarterly
Naples Airport

The Naples Airport Authority (NAA) launched a Fly Safe Fly Quiet (FSFQ) program this month at the Southwest Florida airport. This initiative measures aircraft performance, recognizes the “most courteous” operators, and underscores the NAA's commitment to creating “quieter skies within the community.”

The FSFQ leaderboard serves as a platform to acknowledge operators that prioritize aviation safety and good neighbor practices. Operators will be assessed in three areas: observance of voluntary curfew hours, arrival altitudes, and the overall noise output of their aircraft. Bonus points are awarded for operators that avoid operations during Naples Airport’s (KAPF) quiet hours from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. by adjusting their schedule or staging at other airports during these hours.
