It really depends on your local zoning. Federal laws allow a person to build
a runway just about anywhere, so it is up to local government officials to
regulate where and how he can build a runway.

You should talk to your neighbor about your concerns. Be frank -- don't beat
around the bush. Also call your local zoning board and find out when the
hearing is and put yourself on the agenda so that you can speak and tell
them your concerns.

I doubt if your neighbor is running a crop dusting business or even
developing an airpark. Also, he is likely to be well over 1000 feet up by
the time he passes over your house on takeoff, which is when the airplane is
most noisy.

It could be worse, I suppose. You could be living back in town with a
neighbor who runs his noisy leaf blower all day. I don't think there are any
places left where you will find pristine peace and quiet.
