Aircraft noise is federally preempted by the FAA (49 USC 41713). Nassau County hosts Republic Airport (FRG) in East Farmingdale; JFK and LaGuardia approaches cross the county. Local municipalities cannot restrict flight operations.
Under Federal Aviation Administration preemption, Nassau County and its municipalities cannot set operating hours, flight paths, or aircraft noise limits. Republic Airport (FRG) is state-owned and operates a voluntary nighttime quiet period (11 PM to 7 AM). Town of Hempstead, Oyster Bay, and North Hempstead participate in the Town Aviation Committee that comments on FAA/Port Authority flight-path planning for JFK and LGA arrivals. Residents can file noise complaints via the Port Authority PlaneNoise portal.
No local enforcement possible. Federal penalties apply to operators violating FAA noise and curfew rules (max around 37,000 dollars per violation).
