Which best describes the purpose of ASNA (Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act of 1979)?

• A. To identify and reduce noise around domestic civil airports
• B. To regulate airspace for safety
• C. To manage airport funding
• D. To enforce security measures

Answer: (A)

ASNA is about addressing aircraft noise around civilian airports. The act was created to identify noise issues around domestic civil airports and to encourage or require measures to reduce that noise as part of airport planning and operations. It links safety with environmental concerns by recognizing that flight operations can impact nearby communities and giving the FAA a role in planning for noise abatement.

The other options don’t fit because regulating airspace, managing funding, or enforcing security are handled by other statutes and agencies, not by ASNA.
