San Diego County has significant military and civilian aircraft operations. MCAS Miramar, Naval Base San Diego, and multiple regional airports generate aircraft noise. FAA preempts local regulation of flight paths.
MCAS Miramar conducts fighter jet operations affecting communities in the unincorporated areas. Ramona Airport and Gillespie Field serve general aviation. FAA exclusively controls flight paths and noise. The county participates in Airport Land Use Compatibility Plans (ALUCPs) to manage development near airports. Military operations are not subject to local noise complaints.
Local governments cannot regulate aircraft noise — FAA jurisdiction. Military complaints go through base community liaison offices. Contact MCAS Miramar at (858) 577-1009.
