Centennial Airport is committed to being a good neighbor to the surrounding communities while continuing to serve as one of the nation’s busiest general aviation airports. Our Voluntary Noise Abatement Guidelines are designed to help pilots minimize aircraft noise impacts by using recommended procedures and flight paths that balance safety with community consideration.
While these guidelines are not regulatory and do not compromise safety or FAA requirements, they represent best practices developed in collaboration with pilots, air traffic control, and local residents. Federal Law only allows these measures to be voluntary:
“Under the Airport Noise and Capacity Act of 1990 (ANCA), public-use airports may not impose new mandatory noise or access restrictions on certain aircraft without completing an extensive FAA review and approval process.”
As a result, Centennial’s noise abatement measures are voluntary to ensure compliance with federal law while promoting safe and neighborly operations.
