On June 17, 1997, Mayor
Richard M. Daley announced that airlines at O'Hare International and
Midway Airports have agreed to use designated noise abatement flight
procedures under the Fly Quiet Program to further reduce the impact
of aircraft noise. The Fly Quiet Program provides comprehensive
guidance for pilots to use designated quiet flight and operating
procedures developed by the Department of Aviation in cooperation
with the O'Hare and Midway Noise Compatibility Commissions, the
airlines, and Air Traffic Controllers. The Chicago Department of
Aviation distributes Fly Quiet Aviator's Manuals to airline pilots
and air traffic controllers that contain information on preferred
runways and flight tracks which route aircraft over the least
populated areas -- such as forest preserves, highways, as well as
commercial and industrial areas.
