Aircraft noise in Orland Park is regulated by the Federal Aviation Administration, not the Village. Orland Park sits under approach paths used by Midway International Airport (MDW) and is also affected by general aviation traffic from Lewis University Airport. The Village cannot cite aircraft for noise.
Federal preemption under the Federal Aviation Act and 49 U.S.C. § 40103 places aircraft noise regulation exclusively with the FAA. The Village of Orland Park has no authority to cite pilots or operators for in-flight noise. Orland Park is approximately 14 miles southwest of Midway International Airport (MDW) and may experience overflight noise depending on runway configuration and wind conditions. Lewis University Airport (LOT) in Romeoville also generates light general aviation traffic in the area. For complaints about MDW operations, file with the Chicago Department of Aviation noise hotline at (800) 435-9569 or via the online ChicagoNoise portal. Helicopter operations may be reported to the FAA Chicago Flight Standards District Office.
The Village does not issue citations for aircraft noise. Complaints are forwarded to the appropriate federal or airport authority for tracking and statistical analysis. The FAA may pursue enforcement against operators violating altitude or noise abatement procedures.
