My Flight Helicopter agrees to reroute flights after county noise complaints
Summary
At its Aug. 28 meeting, the Mackinac County Board heard noise complaints about My Flight Helicopter. The company's owner told the board it will shift flight paths away from residential areas; Airport Manager Paul Fullerton attended to answer questions.
The Mackinac County Board of Commissioners on Aug. 28 heard from the owner of My Flight Helicopter and Airport Manager Paul Fullerton after residents raised noise concerns.
The owner told commissioners the company will shift flight paths away from residential areas to reduce noise and noted the business’s season is ending and it will be leaving the area soon, remarks the board received as an operational assurance rather than a formal mitigation plan. Fullerton attended to answer technical questions about airport operations.
Commissioners did not vote on an enforcement action; the exchange was recorded as part of the meeting’s unfinished-business discussion. The board did not set a deadline for reporting back on the effectiveness of the flight-path change.
The matter remains under local oversight: if residents continue to raise complaints, the board and airport staff may revisit the issue at a future meeting or request additional documentation from the operator.
