All noise complaints will be logged, however, in order for the noise complaint to be researched they must be submitted within 72 hours of the event.

Airport research will begin immediately and a written response will be sent upon the conclusion of the research to both the resident and local municipality.

Should the findings conclude an aircraft operated during the hours of the noise abatement, we will send a letter notifying the operator of the complaint and remind them of the voluntary noise abatement program.
