THE PROBLEM & OUR MISSION
Since January 2019, Sherman Oaks & Encino for Quiet Skies has advocated for a solution to the FAA’s disruptive aviation routes across new communities including noise-sensitive, protected open spaces, high elevations and Fire Hazard Severity Zone-designated areas of the foothills and Santa Monica Mountains. SOEQS focuses on solutions at Van Nuys Airport, while supporting other organizations that focus on Burbank Airport.
