Aircraft noise in Pinellas Park is preempted by federal law (FAA). The city cannot impose curfews or fines on flights, but residents may use the St. Pete-Clearwater Airport noise complaint program and Noise Abatement Task Force.
Federal Aviation Administration regulations preempt local control over aircraft operations, so Pinellas Park cannot enforce its noise ordinance against airplanes or helicopters in flight. St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport (PIE), located adjacent to Pinellas Park, operates a voluntary nighttime quiet period from 11:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m., which Allegiant Air agreed to in 2005. Residents can file noise complaints through the airport's Noise Affairs office at fly2pie.com/noise-affairs and participate in the Pinellas County Aircraft Noise Abatement Task Force. Local police do not enforce aircraft noise, but ground-based airport equipment is covered by city noise rules.
Aircraft noise cannot be cited under city ordinances; remedy is limited to FAA complaints, airport noise reports, and participation in the Noise Abatement Task Force.
