Noise Management Office
The office that assists, counsels, and educates pilots and airport users regarding
ways to safely improve the noise performance of aircraft using the Santa Monica Airport, is the
Noise Management Office.
Pilots & Aircraft Owners
Your Noise Management Office administers the Airport’s Fly Neighborly Program
by informing users of the City’s Airport Noise Ordinance and recognized safe aircraft
noise management operating procedures.
Staff counsels pilots on compliance with the
Noise Ordinance and takes appropriate enforcement action in accordance with
procedures outlined in the municipal code.

The goal of Santa Monica Airport's Fly Neighborly Program is to educate and
seek the cooperation of airport users to use best management procedures to
have as little noise impact on our surrounding residential neighbors. We
proactively work with aircraft manufacturers to develop methods and techniques
that will lower aircraft noise levels. We make contact with pilots & aircraft
owners in writing, by phone, by radio and in person to prevent violations to
our Municipal Noise Code. Pilots are encouraged to operate their aircraft
compliantly and compatibly; and to always keep safety in mind. Aircraft
Operators can also benchmark their performance by contacting our Noise
Office radio frequency on 122.85 MHz during business hours to request
a real-time noise level reading after each arrival and/or departure.
Your Noise Management office makes every effort to assist pilots and airport users
while cooperating with the FAA to promote compliance with the provisions and purposes of
the Municipal Noise Code. Information is available online, on official navigation
charts, by phone and through our noise brochures available in our office and at
the local fixed based operators. In addition, we are also able to assist
pilots by providing a network of reputable pilots & aircraft owners who
consistently demonstrate their commitment to operate their aircraft
compliantly and compatibly with our Noise Code.
Airport Neighbors
Our neighbors turn to us for answers. When you call to voice your concerns and objection to aircraft
operations, you help us gauge and better understand what’s occurring in your community. In return,
we take appropriate action by verifying the source of your complaint using our sophisticated
web-based eTAMIS software. This allows us to educate pilots, aircraft owners and operators when
we contact them in writing, by telephone or in person.
Your airport recognizes the value in obtaining feedback from you. By listening to what you perceive
and how you feel about Santa Monica Airport, we’re able to understand your concerns and help adjust
aircraft operations accordingly.
If you are a resident living near the Santa Monica Airport we welcome your emails, telephone calls
or scheduled appointments with the Noise Management Office to discuss your particular interest in
aircraft operating over or in the vicinity of your home. Staff can be reached by calling the noise
hotline (310) 458-8692, by sending an email through our website, or by visiting our office during
business hours (Monday-Thursday 7:30 AM – 5:30 PM and every other Friday 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM).
