Fullerton Municipal Airport (KFUL) operates under noise abatement procedures including voluntary curfew hours and preferential runway use. The city works with the Airport Land Use Commission to manage noise impacts on surrounding residential neighborhoods.
Fullerton Municipal Airport at 4011 W. Commonwealth Ave. operates general aviation flights with voluntary noise abatement procedures. Pilots are requested to follow preferential runway use and avoid flying over residential neighborhoods during nighttime hours (10 PM to 7 AM). The Orange County Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC) establishes noise contours that influence land use planning around the airport per the Airport Environs Land Use Plan. Noise complaints related to airport operations can be filed with the airport manager's office. The city participates in the FAA Part 150 Noise Compatibility Program. Residential areas within the 60 dB CNEL contour may be subject to disclosure requirements for real estate transactions. The city's general noise ordinance under FMC Chapter 15.90 applies to ground-level aircraft maintenance operations.
Aircraft in flight are regulated by the FAA, not local ordinances. Ground-level maintenance noise exceeding FMC Section 15.90.030 standards may be cited as a nuisance. Airport operations violating voluntary curfew may result in formal complaints to airport management.
