Aircraft noise regulation in Oklahoma is preempted by federal law under the Federal Aviation Act, meaning neither the state nor Oklahoma municipalities may regulate aircraft operations or noise emissions in navigable airspace.
Under the Federal Aviation Act of 1958 and Airline Deregulation Act, the FAA has exclusive jurisdiction over aircraft noise and operations in navigable airspace, preempting Oklahoma state and local rules. Oklahoma's Aeronautics Commission Act (Title 3 O.S.) coordinates with FAA standards but cannot impose conflicting noise limits. Local airport proprietors may impose reasonable, non-discriminatory noise restrictions on airport operations but cannot directly regulate flying aircraft. Residents bothered by aircraft noise must file complaints with the FAA or specific airport authorities rather than pursuing remedies under state nuisance law for in-flight operations.
Oklahoma cities cannot enforce penalties against aircraft for noise; complaints must be directed to the FAA. Airport-imposed restrictions can result in landing fees or tenant lease consequences.
