Euless borders Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport and sees heavy aircraft noise. FAA has exclusive jurisdiction under federal law, so local ordinances cannot regulate flight operations.
Euless is uniquely impacted by Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), which borders the city to the north. Large portions of Euless fall within DFW 65 DNL (Day-Night Average Sound Level) noise contours, especially areas near the south end of runways. Federal law (49 USC 40103 and subsequent rulings) preempts local regulation of aircraft-in-flight noise. DFW operates a noise abatement program including preferential runway use and altitude minimums. Residents can file formal noise complaints through the DFW WebTrak system or call the DFW Airport Noise Office at (972) 973-5555. Residential disclosure of airport proximity is required at property sale in avigation easement areas.
