Noise Abatement Program

The County airports are surrounded by noise-sensitive residential and commercial areas. As such, each airport endeavors to be an asset, not a nuisance, to their respective local communities. In order to help mitigate potential negative impacts from aircraft operations and enhance compatibility with the surrounding communities, the Department of Public Works maintains a proactive noise-mitigation program with requested visual flight rules (VFR) flight paths, operational restrictions, and limited activities during certain hours of the day.

In consideration of the communities surrounding the County airports, pilots are requested to operate their aircraft in the quietest practical manner consistent with safety and air traffic control instructions.

For more information about specific noise abatement protocols, visit the individual airport webpages:
