Subject: McClellan-Palomar Airport - Noise Abatement Advisory Letters Districts: All
Rec
ommended Action
Adopt a resolution authorizing the Mayor to sign noise abatement advisory letters prepared by city staff to send in quarterly batches to aircraft pilots that operate during voluntary quiet hours at McClellan-Palomar Airport.
Ex
ecutive Summary
McClellan-Palomar Airport is a San Diego County-owned and operated public-use airport in the City of Carlsbad. To minimize aircraft noise impacts on the community, the county has established the Voluntary Noise Abatement Program. One way the program addresses noise impacts is by establishing voluntary nighttime quiet hours for aircraft arrivals and departures. If a pilot does not adhere to the quiet hours, the county sends a letter informing the pilot of the quiet hours and flight procedures and requests they comply with the voluntary quiet hours in the future.
Staff are presenting this item in response to significant community interest in noise impacts associated with McClellan-Palomar Airport. The recommended City Council direction would authorize the Mayor, through staff, to send letters in quarterly batches reminding pilots who operate during quiet hours that noise coming from aircraft can negatively impact city residents, and to further encourage future compliance with the quiet hours.
Explanation & Analysis
McClellan-Palomar Airport is owned and operated by the County of San Diego and is located within the City of Carlsbad. According to the county’s McClellan-Palomar Airport Noise Fact Sheet (Exhibit 2):
While the County does not have control over when or how many aircraft are utilizing the airport, the County recognizes that noise coming from aircraft taking off and landing can be burdensome to area residents.

Item #9 Page 1 of 28
To help address noise impacts, the County implements a Fly Friendly Program and a Voluntary Noise Abatement Program (VNAP) that includes:
• Voluntary nighttime quiet hours for arrivals and departures • Arrival and departure patterns and suggested altitudes • Identification of residential areas for pilot awareness • Techniques and procedures for quieter operation of aircraft • A full-time dedicated Noise Officer to work with pilots and address community complaints and inquiries
• Education and outreach for pilots and flight schools on noise abatement procedures
• Monitoring and analyzing noise data and working with pilots to address issues as they arise
The county’s website offers the following responses to several frequently asked questions regarding noise abatement at the McClellan-Palomar Airport:
Palomar Airport currently operates under VNAP voluntary quiet hours for both t
ake-off and landing; quiet hours are 10 p.m. - 7 a.m. for jet aircraft, and 12 a.m. - 6 a.m. for other aircraft (emergency, lifeguard, and law enforcement allowed).
Pilots are asked to refrain from taking off and landing during these times.
The VNAP quiet hours are voluntary therefore it is up to the pilot to decide whether or not they will comply. If a pilot does not adhere to the VNAP quiet hours, the County follows-up with a letter [Exhibit 3] informing the pilot of the quiet hours and flight procedures and requests they comply with the VNAP voluntary quiet hours in the future.
Aircraft in flight within three nautical miles of the airport are under the control and jurisdiction of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Control instructions based on pilots’ requests, position, weather, conflicting traffic, and direction of flight are issued by the control tower. The FAA has established rules and regulations for flight safety, separation, and sequencing of aircraft arrivals and departures. All aircraft in the vicinity of Palomar Airport are required to comply with FAA air traffic control commands and Federal regulations 24 hours a day.
The County makes every effort to educate pilots regarding VNAP and strongly encourages following these procedures. However, fines cannot be levied in conjunction with a voluntary program, and the VNAP must remain voluntary as mandated by the FAA.
The airport staff makes every effort to educate pilots regarding noise abatement by providing local and transient pilots with an informational program consisting of speaker's presentations, brochures (Exhibit 4), airport signage, web sites, direct mailings, notification in manuals and providing information to flight schools to follow the VNAP. The support of various aviation organizations, both locally and nationally, help to educate and encourage pilots to follow the VNAP. The process of education requires a continual course of outreach to Dec. 5, 2023

contact as many pilots using the airport as possible. Besides the Palomar-based pilots, there is the potential that any of the 62,606 California resident pilots, or the many more across the nation, could fly at Palomar on any given day. The noise mitigation program is supported by various national and local aviation organizations that assist in educating and encouraging Palomar and transient pilots to avoid noise sensitive areas.
Data on flight operations occurring during the voluntary quiet hours is compiled and presented to the Palomar Airport Advisory Committee on a monthly basis. (Exhibit 5 – Slide 13). During 2023, on average, 72 operations occur during quiet hours at McClellan-Palomar Airport each month.
If City Council adop ts the resolution, staff are prepared to develop and implement the necessary procedures to obtain copies of the noise abatement advisory letters sent by the county and subsequently generate and distribute letters on a quarterly basis reminding pilots who operate during quiet hours that noise coming from aircraft can negatively impact city residents, and to further encourage future compliance with the voluntary quiet hours.
Fiscal Analysis
The estimated cost to obtain county records, produce and distribute an estimated 900 noise abatement advisory letters per year is approximately $750, and the required staff time can be absorbed among existing staff. There are adequate funds available to cover the estimated cost in the City Manager’s fiscal year 2023-2024 operating budget.
Next Steps
With the City Council’s approval, city staff will develop and implement the necessary procedures to obtain copies of all noise abatement advisory letters issued to pilots operating at McClellan-Palomar Airport during voluntary take-off and landing quiet hours and will send a city-issued letter to each recipient of a county-issued letter in quarterly batches.
Environmental E valuation
This action does not require environmental review because it does not constitute a project within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act under California Public Resources Code Section 21065 in that it has no potential to cause either a direct physical change or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.

McClellan-Palomar Airport
Noise Fact Sheet
General Roles and Responsibilities
FAA – Oversees civil aviation regulation standards for operating aircraft and provides oversight and enforcement of aircraft in flight (low-flying planes, unsafe maneuvering, etc.). They also license pilots, certify commercial airports and are responsible for air traffic control, which includes flight paths, controlling airplanes while they’re flying and while they’re moving on the ground on the taxiway and runway. Only the FAA can determine whether or not any restrictions to aviation activities can be made at the airport – including whether or a not an aircraft uses the airport at night, limit the size of the airplanes landing at the airport or how many planes use the airport.
Count
y - Operates and maintains the airport to ensure safety for the users of the airport. The County manages the facilities, including constructing airport improvements and planning for the airport’s future; provides airport security and firefighting response services and manages leases for the businesses who operate at the airport.
Pilot –
Private airplane pilots are responsible for determining whether or not they can safely land their plane at an airport. For commercial pilots, the FAA, as part of their certification for commercial airlines, indicates the airports where the commercial plane can land.
How is the County Addressing Airport Noise?
While the County does not have control over when or how many aircraft are utilizing the airport, the County recognizes that noise coming from aircraft taking off and landing can be burdensome to area residents. To help address noise impacts, the County implements a Fly Friendly Program and a Voluntary Noise Abatement Program (VNAP) that includes:
• Voluntary nighttime quiet hours for arrivals and departures • Arrival and departure patterns and suggested altitudes • Identification of residential areas for pilot awareness • Techniques and procedures for quieter operation of aircraft • A full-time dedicated Noise Officer to work with pilots and address community complaints and inquiries
• Education and outreach for pilots and flight schools on noise abatement procedures
• Monitoring and analyzing noise data and working with pilots to address issues as they arise The Co
unty is taking measures to further address airport noise in the following ways:
• Enhance noise monitoring program
o Two additional noise monitoring locations will be added to the existing two monitors to cover all four sides of the airport. The information from these noise monitors will be used for County staff to review noise concerns and share details with the public about specific noise events. Staff are currently identifying locations and contacting property owners. • Recently completed refreshing airport signage
Exhibit 2

Item #9 Page 6 of 28
May 1, 2018
• Expanding VNAP outreach efforts
o Currently contacting offsite airports to educate flight schools and area pilots on VNAP o Aviation Business Operators – attending ongoing meetings to highlight VNAP o Refreshed displays and distributed educational materials to pilots and airport businesses o Palomar Airport Advisory Committee (PAAC) Sub-committee • Enhancements to the airport noise website are currently being developed How Does the County Address Pilots Operating During VNAP Quiet Hours? The VNAP quiet hours are voluntary therefore it is up to the pilot to decide whether or not he or she will comply. If a pilot does not adhere to the VNAP quiet hours, the County follows-up with a letter informing the pilot of the quiet hours and flight procedures and requests they comply with the VNAP voluntary quiet hours in the future.
How Many Airplanes on Average Fly Outside of the Voluntary Quiet Hours? Palomar Airport currently operates under VNAP voluntary quiet hours for both take-off and landing; quiet hours are 10 p.m. – 7 a.m. for jet aircraft, and 12 a.m. – 6 a.m. other aircraft (emergency, lifeguard, and law enforcement allowed). Pilots are asked to refrain from taking off and landing during these times.
The majority of pilots using the airport adhere to the quiet hours. For example, during the month of January 2018:
• There were 13,724 total operations (arrivals or departures for jet and propeller or other aircraft)
• 99.5% of total operations were in voluntary compliance and occurred outside of VNAP quiet hours
• 0.5% (73 flights) of total operations were not in voluntary compliance and occurred during VNAP quiet hours
• There were 15 nights without any arrivals and eight nights without any departures during VNAP quiet hours
• The majority of flights occurring during VNAP quiet hours occurred before 12 a.m. or after 5 a.m.
• Between the hours of 12 a.m. and 5 a.m., there were a total of four departures and nine arrivals
• All commercial flight departures and arrivals occurred outside of the VNAP quiet hours For More information?
