Lincoln Airport (LNK) has an FAA-approved Part 150 Noise Compatibility Program since 2004. Federal law preempts local aircraft noise regulation.
Lincoln Airport (LNK) completed an FAR Part 150 Noise Compatibility Study approved by the Lincoln Airport Authority in September 2003. The FAA determined the noise exposure maps were in compliance and approved the overall Noise Compatibility Program effective June 7, 2004. The program contains five Noise Abatement Elements, eight Land Use Management Elements, and four Program Management Elements. All Land Use Management and Program Management Elements received outright approval. Lincoln also hosts the Nebraska Air National Guard 155th Air Refueling Wing at the airport, which contributes to military aircraft noise in nearby neighborhoods. Aircraft noise complaints are handled at the federal level through the FAA and Lincoln Airport Authority, not through the city noise ordinance (LMC 8.24).
