Tye describes how a helicopter flight school in their rural farm community has caused excessive noise and environmental disturbances from up to 20 helicopters operating for 16 hours a day.
- The noise and disruptions are negatively impacting the rural lifestyle, livestock, and health of residents.
- Tye questions whether the pilot training happening in rural areas will lead those pilots to then operate tours over communities like New York City.
- Despite claims of a pilot shortage, Tye cites reports that there is no actual shortage and training is overproducing pilots, driving down wages.
- Tye asks that funds from helicopter violations go towards combating the aerial noise problem in affected communities.

Good good morning, good afternoon, your time.
3:43:42
I am on the other coast, and I live in a small rural farm community.
3:43:46
Sorry.
3:43:47
My name is Dorian Tai.
3:43:48
I live in a small rural rural farm community.
3:43:51
Where flight school moved in and became one of the largest helicopter training schools in the Pacific Northwest.
3:43:56
Our rural lifestyle, livestock, and health is being crushed by flight schools and helicopter training exceeding 85 gusts up to 16 hours a day.
3:44:04
It appears FAA's part 91 describes 2 to 500 pilots required to become a helicopter tour pilot.
3:44:09
With extra hours required per type.
3:44:11
When I see upwards of 20 helicopters over your community at a time, I wonder who suffered those 4 to 10000 hours of insufferable training over our homes, health, and lives.
3:44:19
Only to come towards your communities indefinitely.
3:44:22
Flight school can cost more than a doctorate degree.
3:44:25
But the past decade out with the largest pilot union in the world continues saying that there is no pilot shortage, including February 5th article titled 2023, Shatters another record for US pilot production.
3:44:35
It would appear the pilot shortage narrative as simply an aviation lobby talking point, making a greedy few unprecedented profit while indenturing students and graduates by equipping them for a flood of pilot market, driving down wages, about creating evermore communities enduring hellish pilot training, touring in an aviation lobby, which continues finding evermore ways to utilize these certificates.
3:44:55
Like flying by the dozens over New York or national parks or master distributing biosides, wild horse Roundup, wildlife pulling, etcetera.
3:45:04
Thank you for acknowledging the aviation noise andclusions drive down education while driving up violence, hypertension, and heart attacks, true physical and mental suffering, and torture.
3:45:13
It seems unconscionable and unconstitutional for the FAA to continue delays while sacrificing wildlife nature ecosystems in human health.
3:45:20
For glut of nonessential aircraft.
3:45:23
Bravo for these bills standing against this.
3:45:25
Regarding Evotel, advanced air mobility, I've been asking how much wildlife and Burger And Google Pulling will have to happen for them to remain safe.
3:45:33
And will this change trust passing laws?
3:45:35
I don't even receive acknowledgement of the questions.
3:45:38
Can the funds generated by helicopter violations move from general fund into a fund designated specifically for combating aerial the aerial problem?
3:45:46
Finally, I applaud New York providing
Morris Pesin
3:45:47
these points.
John Ost
3:45:48
Thank you.
Dorian Tye
3:45:49
Oh, thank you for acknowledging that the amount of people suffering from seed to shining seed for helicopter renovation excesses including helicopter tours will no longer be tolerated.
3:45:59
Thank you.
