Cal. Code Regs. tit. 21 § 5000

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 50, December 13, 2024

Section 5000 - Preamble

The following rules and regulations are promulgated in accordance with Article 3, Chapter 4, Part 1, Division 9, Public Utilities Code (Regulation of Airports) to provide noise standards governing the operation of aircraft and aircraft engines for all airports operating under a valid permit issued by the Department of Transportation. These standards are based upon two separate legal grounds:

(1) the power of airport proprietors to impose noise ceilings and other limitations on the use of the airport, and

(2) the power of the state to act to an extent not prohibited by federal law. The regulations are designed to cause the airport proprietor, aircraft operator, local governments, pilots, and the department to work cooperatively to diminish noise problems. The regulations accomplish these ends by controlling and reducing the noise impact area in communities in the vicinity of airports.
