Callers to Noise Abatement & Disturbance Call Hotline Listed On Official PDK Airport Website

Starting with the March Noise Report given by airport staff at the Airport Advisory Board meeting on April 11, 2001, citizens who called the Noise Abatement and Disturbance Call Hotline number and left a message have their name, address and number of calls posted on the PDK Airport website. There is no listing of the aircraft, owner or pilot that caused the disturbance and/or violated the voluntary night curfew. This is a classic case of intimidation by "blaming the victim" while refusing to address the problem.

PDK Watch congratulates neighbors who called the hotline during March. They put the rest of us to shame for not being more diligent. Let's make a point of calling 770-936-5442 every single time our peace and quiet is disturbed by an aircraft.

We hope in the near future that PDK management will accept their responsibility and implement an aggressive noise control policy that does not require citizens' complaints to initiate action. Mr. Remmel has the ability to do this using the NOMS system.
