The Federal Aviation Administration has reportedly cut off communication with the DC Metroplex BWI Community Roundtable and the Maryland Aviation Administration. The roundtable was scheduled to vote Tuesday night on the jet path changes the FAA proposed in April. According to members of the roundtable and the MAA, the FAA cut off communication just a few a days ago. "If the government will routinely stop communicating with the citizens as soon as they petition the government, it seems something is wrong with that," said Jesse Chancellor, vice chair of the roundtable. Chancellor believes the FAA ceased talks due to two petitions filed by Attorney General Brian Frost. One of the petitions demands an environmental assessment from the FAA to assess noise issues at Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport. "With moves like this, it's really obnoxious and this is our federal government. Our taxes pay for it," resident Barbara Decker said.Residents said the noise issues have been going on for nearly three years."I've lived in my house for 33 years and it's only been since three years ago, since this NextGen (Next Generation Air Transportation System) started, that I've ever had a noise problem," Decker said. Chancellor described the noise as a highway in the sky. "This is more like a rifle. Think of it as 80,000 planes departing BWI, going over the exact same spot day in and day out, minute after minute, for the rest of the homeowner or school child's life," Chancellor said. During the meeting, members wanted an analysis from the MAA in order to vote on that agency's findings and send those results to the FAA. An MAA spokesperson told the group the FAA changed procedures, unbeknownst to the MAA, making it challenging to update any results. "We're hopeful that this entire process will at least lead to small changes, to give some relief to some of the homeowners, and that's really what we were aiming for tonight," Chancellor said.
