This report presents the findings from a survey of managers from selected National Park Service units to determine the nature and extent of aircraft overflight issues and concerns in the National Park System. The survey results represent the local manager's perspective on the aircraft overflight problem. These perceptions were provided by park superintendents and their staff. General Conclusions: In October 1992, aircraft overflight problems were reported by 95 National Park Service (NPS) managers, representing 98 NPS units, who are responsible for about one-half of the visitation and three-fourths of the acreage in the National Park System (excluding Alaska). Sixty-five managers reported that aircraft noise was at least a moderate problem. Mechanical noises, compared to other potential park problems, were ranked as one of the most serious. Furthermore, sounds from aircraft compared to other potential sound problems, was ranked as the most serious.
