Petitions for Rulemaking

    Docket No.: 27371.
    Petitioner: Mr. Gerald A. Silver/Homeowners of Encino.
    Regulations Affected: 14 CFR 91.119 (b) and (c).
    Description of Rule Change Sought: To limit helicopter operations 
below the minimums prescribed in Sec. 91.119 (b) and (c) to helicopters 
operated by any municipal, county, state, or federal authority for 
emergency services, rescue operations, police or fire protection.
    Petitioner's Reason for the Request: The petitioner(s) feel the 
helicopter noise problem, created by low flying helicopters overflying 
his/their community conducting sightseeing tours (particularly at 
night), real estate caravan flybys to show homes to prospective 
customers, and other short distance business travel, is a flagrant 
abuse of the constituency represented by the petitioner(s). It is a 
recurring and ongoing problem that has not been, heretofore, relieved 
by means of a pilot/industry cooperative endeavor.
