Aircraft noise in unincorporated Ventura County is exclusively under FAA jurisdiction. Local ordinances cannot regulate flight paths or aircraft operations. Naval Base Ventura County (Point Mugu) and agricultural crop dusting are notable noise sources.
Unincorporated Ventura County has several aircraft noise sources. Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC Point Mugu) conducts military flight operations over the Oxnard Plain and coastal areas. Camarillo Airport (CMA) and Oxnard Airport (OXR) generate general aviation traffic over unincorporated communities. Agricultural crop-dusting operations are common over farmland in areas like Somis, Saticoy, and the Santa Clara River valley. The FAA preempts all local regulation of aircraft noise and flight paths. Ventura County's Airport Land Use Commission establishes noise compatibility zones around airports that affect land use planning in unincorporated areas.
Local governments cannot regulate aircraft noise. FAA jurisdiction is exclusive. No county fines or penalties for aircraft noise. Military flight complaints go through Naval Base Ventura County's community liaison office. Airport noise complaints are directed to the respective airport authority.
