What are the noisiest aircraft that operate at OXC?
Jets certified under previous federal standards (Stage II), such as the Gulfstream II, create the highest noise output and appear to be the cause of most noise complaints. In the future, it is anticipated that many Stage II jets will be phased out and replaced with newer, quieter jets, as the Stage II jets are no longer in production. As such, noise exposure levels should decrease, even with increased activity. Note that Stage II jets cannot be restricted from operating at the Airport, per the 1990 Airport Noise and Capacity Act.
