Board highlights increased JFK arrivals over Central Nassau and urges residents to file TVASNAC complaints
Summary
Trustee Rainer Burger reported increases in JFK runway 22L arrivals over Central Nassau and said Congressman Tom Suozzi has written to the FAA; residents were urged to file noise complaints with TVASNAC/hempsteadny.gov.
Trustee Rainer Burger told the Village of New Hyde Park Board on May 21 that an arrivals usage report shows a marked increase in aircraft using JFK runway 22L over Central Nassau, leading to frequent overflights. He said during peak summer months arrivals on 22L can occur as often as every three minutes for extended periods.
Burger said the issue has been raised at TVASNAC and that U.S. Representative Tom Suozzi has written to FAA Secretary Sean Duffy seeking relief from the increased arrivals over Manhasset, Herricks and New Hyde Park. He encouraged residents to file noise complaints online at www.hempsteadny.gov/TVASNAC or by using local complaint lines (Hempstead 1-800-225-1071; North Hempstead: 311) and noted the next TVASNAC meeting is scheduled for June 22 at Hempstead Town Hall.
Why it matters: persistent low-altitude arrivals can affect quality of life for neighborhoods under flight paths, and record-keeping of complaints helps local advocacy efforts with federal aviation authorities.
Residents may monitor TVASNAC updates and file complaints as directed by Village officials.
