Re "A Rumble in the Sky, and Grumbles Below" ("What?" series, Aug. 26), about new airplane noise that is ruining the quality of life in Queens:

One of the reasons the problem is so bad in Queens is the lack of an airport advisory committee. Along with Senators Charles E. Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand and Representative Steve Israel, I have urged the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey to establish such a panel to help reduce the constant barrage of aircraft noise over the borough.

No formal forum exists for residents of the New York metropolitan area to express how they are affected by flight patterns and other airport issues. A formal committee would give elected officials, the aviation community and the Federal Aviation Administration an understanding of the concerns affecting area residents and allow all stakeholders to work together to reach solutions.

With congested skies and flight delays continuing to affect air travelers, the F.A.A. needs to move forward with efforts that enhance the efficiency and reliability of our airspace. But we cannot allow this to be done at the expense of those who reside beneath these new routes. The unbearable noise they have been forced to endure is unacceptable, and we will continue to fight it.
