Aircraft noise in Huntington is preempted by the FAA. Republic Airport (FRG) in East Farmingdale and helicopter routes over the North Shore are common concerns; Huntington cannot regulate flight operations but participates in regional noise abatement.
Under 49 USC 40103, the FAA has exclusive authority over navigable airspace. Republic Airport (KFRG) voluntary curfew runs 11 PM to 7 AM. The Eastern Region Helicopter Council publishes North Shore route guidance to route helicopters over water and avoid overflying Huntington Bay and Lloyd Harbor. Residents can file complaints with the FAA Noise Complaint Portal and the Town of Huntington aviation liaison. Town Board periodically passes resolutions supporting stricter federal rules.
