State officials would publish Beverly airport noise and flight data

State aviation officials would publish complaints and counts and times of landings followed by takeoff without stopping or leaving the runway. The reporting window covers complaints made to Beverly Regional Airport and these touch-and-go operations occurring between April 1 and October 1. Complaint records would stay on the state website permanently, and flight records would stay on the airport website permanently. The act would take effect January 1, 2027. Monthly collection would be due within 14 days after month-end, and posting within 20 days.

The airport commission would hold a public meeting devoted to noise reports. Members of the public could question Beverly Regional Airport commissioners and the airport manager. At least two commissioners must request the meeting. Commissioners and the airport manager would answer questions as best they can. This requirement would take effect January 1, 2027.

The airport would also post the policy in several visible places, including pilot areas. Guidance would address noise from landings followed by takeoff without stopping and its effects on neighbors within 3 miles of runways. State guidance would include a sample policy and ways to tell airport users about it. These duties would take effect January 1, 2027.
