Marana has no local ordinance addressing aircraft noise. Marana Regional Airport (formerly Marana Airpark, KAVQ) operates under FAA regulations. Military overflights from Davis-Monthan AFB are federally exempt. Tucson International Airport flight paths may affect southeastern Marana. All aircraft noise is governed by federal and state authorities, not local code.
The Town of Marana does not regulate aircraft noise through local ordinance. Marana Regional Airport (KAVQ), located along Avra Valley Road, serves general aviation and flight training operations under Federal Aviation Administration oversight. The airport is owned by the Town of Marana and operates under a Part 139 certificate. Noise from Davis-Monthan Air Force Base military operations, including A-10 training flights over western Marana, is federally preempted and cannot be regulated locally. Tucson International Airport commercial flight paths occasionally affect the southeastern portions of Marana. Residents concerned about aircraft noise can file complaints with the FAA or the appropriate airport authority. The Marana General Plan identifies airport-compatible land use zones around Marana Regional Airport to minimize noise conflicts with residential development. New residential development near the airport must comply with noise-exposure disclosure requirements.
