Aircraft noise is regulated under city Chapter 8 (Aviation) covering Kissimmee Gateway Airport (KISM), supplemented by FAA Part 91 noise standards. Sec. 22-22(b)(2) exempts aircraft noise from Article II decibel caps because it is regulated by state and federal law.
Kissimmee Gateway Airport is a city-owned general aviation reliever. Local noise abatement is voluntary because federal preemption (49 USC §41713 and the Airline Deregulation Act) prevents municipal noise restrictions on airspace operations. The city does enforce ground-noise standards: aircraft engine run-ups and ground-operation noise must comply with airport operating rules in Ch. 8. The Sec. 22-22(b)(2) exemption applies only to operating aircraft, not to airport-tenant ground operations. Florida §333.02 also addresses airport nuisances, referenced in the Ch. 22 footnotes.
Federal violations are handled by FAA enforcement. Airport ground-operations rule violations are handled by the airport director with potential lease/operating privilege consequences. Ch. 22, Art. II fines do not apply to in-flight aircraft.
