      Sheard testifies about the Eastern Region Helicopter Council's efforts to address community concerns over helicopter noise and operations.

      • The ERHC has a community outreach program and collaborates with the FAA to devise higher flight altitudes and routes over populated areas.
      • It is working on new instrument flight routes for helicopters during inclement weather that will take them to higher altitudes and reduce sound signatures.
      • The ERHC aims to embrace quieter aircraft technology as part of its commitment to collaboration through technology.
      • By improving flight routes, preserving heliports, and adopting new technologies, Sheard argues for promoting innovation, transportation options, and economic prosperity for the community.
