Aircraft noise is preempted by the FAA. Plant City Airport (KPCM) is a general aviation facility on the south side of the city and operates without a tower or curfew.
FAA preemption (49 USC 40103) prevents municipalities from regulating aircraft in flight. Plant City Municipal Airport (KPCM) is city-owned, serving general aviation, crop dusters supporting strawberry and blueberry operations, and flight schools. Voluntary noise-abatement procedures ask pilots to avoid low passes over residential areas. Agricultural aerial application (crop dusting) is protected under both FAA rules and FL Right to Farm.
