Aircraft noise is federally preempted (FAA). Camarillo Airport (CMA) is the nearest general aviation airport. No local noise ordinance applies to aircraft in flight.
Fillmore does not have a municipal airport, but experiences occasional aircraft noise from agricultural crop dusting operations, helicopters, and general aviation traffic. Santa Paula Airport is approximately 8 miles southeast. The FAA has exclusive jurisdiction over aircraft noise and flight paths. Agricultural aerial applications are common during growing season in the Santa Clara River Valley. Military aircraft from Naval Base Ventura County may also generate periodic noise.
Local governments cannot regulate aircraft noise as this falls under exclusive FAA jurisdiction. Voluntary noise abatement is not enforceable. No city fines apply to aircraft noise. Military complaints go through Naval Base Ventura County public affairs.
