Aircraft noise in Henderson is federally preempted by the FAA. Harry Reid International (LAS) and Henderson Executive Airport (HND) drive overflight noise.
Aircraft in flight are regulated exclusively by the Federal Aviation Administration under 49 USC 40103. Henderson cannot enforce local noise ordinances against aircraft operators or set curfews. Two airports affect Henderson: Harry Reid International (LAS, formerly McCarran) operated by Clark County, with flight paths crossing northern Henderson and Green Valley, and Henderson Executive Airport (HND) serving general aviation and business jets, located in the southern city. The Clark County Department of Aviation operates a Part 150 Noise Compatibility Study and maintains a complaint hotline. Noise-sensitive land use is addressed through zoning overlays rather than operational restrictions. Residents near HND should not expect local curfews; voluntary noise abatement procedures are requested but not enforced.
