According to Simple Flying, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed replacing its 53-year-old ban on supersonic flight over land with a new regulatory noise standard.
The proposed rule change aims to transition from the current prohibition on overland supersonic flights to a standard based on defined noise limits.
The regulatory initiative marks a significant potential shift for overland supersonic operations, replacing rules that have been in place for 53 years with specific noise compliance criteria.
Simple Flying noted that the FAA's proposed replacement of the long-standing supersonic flight ban could impact the future development of commercial aviation.
