I wouldn’t want to deny anyone the opportunity to express their airline-noise rage.

According to DeKalb Commissioner Kathie Gannon’s February newsletter (via the Clairmont Heights Civic Association), Hartsfield-Jackson is looking to lower the flight ceiling around DeKalb-Peachtree Airport by 1,000 feet.  This will obviously result in less airspace for planes coming into and leaving DeKalb-Peachtree as well as greater noise levels for folks on the ground in the area.

As to how much of an area will be affected, Kathie Gannon’s note states…

This would include decreasing the lower elevation of Class B airspace to 5,000 feet over PDK. This change would affect Dunwoody, Chamblee, Doraville and all surrounding neighborhoods.

I’m not sure if it will make things worse for folks closer to Decatur, but it certainly won’t improve on the airplane noise that gets folks so crazy in the warmer months.

Folks at DeKalb-Peachtree Airport and concerned residents in the surrounding neighborhoods are planning on attending a “public information / comment session [with the FAA] on March 1st at 3pm, 5pm, and 7pm at the Chamblee Civic Center located at 3540 Broad Street Chamblee, GA.”
