About OAW
Oregon Aviation Watch is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization whose primary purpose is to research, educate and advocate on behalf of the public interest and public welfare about aviation issues.
Our Mission
The mission of Oregon Aviation Watch is to enhance and protect the quality of life for Oregon residents by eliminating the adverse impacts of aviation activity.
Issues of Concern
- noise intrusions
- environmental pollution
- climate change
- health risks
- social injustice
- property devaluation
- safety hazards
- security threats
- land use restrictions
- fiscal inequities
Our Vision
Our vision is to achieve a transparent, accountable, and sustainable aviation system that neither disregards nor diminishes the environment, livability, health, or well-being of current and future generations of Oregon residents.
Resources
Oregon Aviation Watch cannot offer legal advice, but we can provide information on aviation policy in Oregon and elsewhere, and we can share our experiences in dealing with these issues. We strive to reduce the sense of isolation and powerlessness people sometimes feel when confronted with the bureaucratic run around and lack of democratic principles so often encountered when dealing with aviation issues.
