Griffiss International Airport (RME) in Rome handles general aviation, cargo, and UAS testing (NY UAS Test Site). Aircraft noise is preempted by FAA under 49 USC 40103. Town of Rome participates in noise compatibility planning.
Griffiss International Airport (RME) in Rome operates as a general aviation, cargo, and unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) test facility, one of seven FAA-designated UAS test sites nationally. Federal law under 49 USC 40103 preempts municipal regulation of aircraft altitude, flight paths, and airborne noise, so Oneida County and the City of Rome cannot impose flight restrictions. Airport ground operations and UAS ground testing can be locally regulated through zoning. The Oneida County Department of Aviation operates RME and conducts voluntary Part 150 noise compatibility studies. Residents near Griffiss can file noise complaints with the airport operations office (315-338-7720) but enforcement lies with FAA flight standards.
Local municipalities cannot fine aircraft for airborne noise due to FAA preemption. Ground-based UAS or airport violations fall under airport operating rules.
