Aircraft noise over Mililani Town, including Wheeler Army Airfield helicopter traffic, is federally preempted; HRS §261-12 governs state tour-aircraft permits, and ROH §41-6 exempts aircraft in flight.
Mililani Town sits near Wheeler Army Airfield and under common corridors for civilian and tour helicopters. Federal FAA authority preempts city regulation of aviation noise, so ROH §41-6 explicitly exempts aircraft in flight. HRS §261-12 gives the Hawaii Director of Transportation authority to set noise-abatement conditions in tour-aircraft operating permits, which is the primary state lever. Military operations at Wheeler are handled through Army community liaison channels. Residents should file helicopter complaints with the FAA and copy HDOT Airports Division.
No city penalty available; FAA and HDOT handle federal and state enforcement.
