Aircraft noise over Ewa Gentry is preempted by federal FAA rules, with limited state authority under HRS §261-12 for tour-aircraft permits; ROH §41-6 explicitly exempts aircraft in flight.
Ewa Gentry sits beneath flight paths serving Daniel K. Inouye International Airport, Honolulu International traffic, and Kalaeloa Airport, so residents hear frequent commercial, military, and tour overflights. Federal law preempts local aviation noise regulation, leaving Honolulu no authority to fine aircraft operators. HRS §261-12 directs the State Director of Transportation to set noise-abatement procedures in tour-aircraft operating permits, which is the primary state lever. ROH §41-6 governs ground-based noise only and excludes aircraft in flight. Complaints should be routed to the FAA and the Hawaii DOT Airports Division.
City cannot fine aircraft operators; FAA handles federal enforcement and HDOT enforces tour-permit conditions.
