Residents, doctors and local officials urge transparency and noise monitoring after Mar-a-Lago TFR reroutes flights over neighborhoods
Summary
Residents, health professionals and local officials told the Citizens Committee on Airport Noise that a newly published continuous TFR around Mar-a-Lago has rerouted departures and arrivals at PBI over established neighborhoods, producing louder flyovers, worse sleep and concerns about health and property values.
Dozens of residents, neighborhood leaders, technical consultants and health professionals used the Citizens Committee on Airport Noise public comment period to describe immediate and ongoing impacts after a continuous Mar-a-Lago temporary flight restriction changed how aircraft depart and arrive at Palm Beach International Airport.
"In the hour between 11AM and noon today, 14 planes passed directly over my house ... The average noise level for those 14 flyovers was 89 decibels," said Rafael Clemente, a Flamingo Park resident, who said ambient backyard noise measures about 50 decibels and asked the committee to install noise monitors and reassess routing. "We can't be outside anymore during flyovers," he added.
