Aircraft noise in Georgia is governed by federal FAA regulations, not state or local ordinances. Georgia airport zoning law allows compatible land use planning around airports but cannot restrict in-flight aircraft operations.
Federal Aviation Act preempts state and local regulation of aircraft in flight, including noise emissions. Under O.C.G.A. Title 6, Chapter 3, Georgia airport zoning law authorizes local airport hazard zoning to limit incompatible land uses near airports but cannot regulate aircraft operations themselves. Noise complaints concerning aircraft must be directed to the FAA. Georgia airports may impose curfews or noise abatement procedures only with FAA approval under 14 CFR Part 161.
Local ordinances regulating in-flight aircraft noise are preempted and unenforceable. Airport noise abatement violations are federal, not state matters.
