Aircraft in flight are preempted by federal law (49 U.S.C. §40103 / FAA). Rialto Municipal Code Ch. 9.50 (Noise Control) does not regulate in-flight aircraft. Land use around Rialto Municipal Airport (L67) is governed by the Airport Influence Area (AIA) overlay administered by the San Bernardino County Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC).
Federal aviation noise is the exclusive province of the FAA under 49 U.S.C. §40103 and 14 CFR Part 91. The City of Rialto cannot impose decibel limits on aircraft in flight or set curfews at Rialto Municipal Airport (L67) without FAA Part 161 approval. Cal. Pub. Util. Code §21669 et seq. (State Aeronautics Act) and Title 21 CCR §5000 et seq. set the state airport noise standard (CNEL 65 dB community boundary). Noise-sensitive land use around L67 is controlled through the San Bernardino County ALUC Compatibility Plan and the city's Airport Influence Area overlay referenced in Title 18 Zoning.
Aircraft operators violating FAA noise rules are subject to FAA enforcement (civil penalties up to $1,644 per violation under 49 U.S.C. §46301). Land-use violations within the AIA overlay are enforced by the city under Title 18 Zoning as administrative or misdemeanor citations.
