Davis has no municipal aircraft-noise ordinance; aircraft operations are preempted by federal FAA regulation. UC Davis's University Airport runs a voluntary noise-abatement program with no touch-and-go landings from 9 p.m. to 8 a.m.
The Davis Municipal Code Chapter 24 noise rules do not regulate aircraft; aircraft operations are preempted by the Federal Aviation Administration. Davis has no major commercial airport. The nearest facility is University Airport (FAA identifier EDU), a small 95-acre general-aviation field owned by UC Davis about two miles west of the city. Rather than a city ordinance, the airport runs a voluntary Noise Abatement Program under which pilots minimize impact on nearby homes: no touch-and-go landings between 9:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m., a limit of two consecutive touch-and-go landings, and discouragement of touch-and-goes on weekends and holidays. The area north of the airport, south of Russell Boulevard, is most noise-sensitive. Aircraft-noise concerns go to the FAA, not city enforcement.
There is no city fine for aircraft noise; the FAA has jurisdiction over aircraft operations. University Airport's noise-abatement procedures are voluntary pilot guidelines, not enforceable municipal penalties.
