Aircraft noise from Orlando International Airport (MCO, Class B airspace) and Orlando Executive is preempted by the FAA. Orange County cannot regulate overflights but participates in the MCO Noise Abatement Program.
MCO handles over 57 million passengers annually and uses preferential runway procedures and continuous descent approaches to reduce noise over residential areas in Lake Nona, Conway, and south Orange County. Helicopter tour operations near the tourism corridor are FAA-regulated. The Greater Orlando Aviation Authority maintains a noise complaint portal for residents.
