Aircraft noise from Southern California Logistics Airport (SCLA) is exempt from VMC Chapter 13.01 and falls under federal FAA jurisdiction. The former George AFB runway remains active for cargo and testing.
Victorville Municipal Code Chapter 13.01 specifically exempts aircraft in flight and airport operations from the city noise ordinance, which places aircraft noise under Federal Aviation Administration jurisdiction. Southern California Logistics Airport (SCLA), also known as KVCV, sits entirely within Victorville city limits and was the former George Air Force Base with a 9,138-foot runway that hosts cargo carriers, FedEx operations, pilot and engine testing, and aircraft storage and teardown. The FAA sets departure, arrival, and noise-abatement procedures. Residents in El Evado, Piñon Hills-adjacent flight-path areas, and west Victorville neighborhoods sometimes hear heavy jet and military-contract activity that the city cannot regulate. Noise complaints can be filed with SCLA airport administration and with the FAA Western-Pacific Regional Office. Surface noise on airport property tied to ground operations, trucks, and machinery remains city-enforceable when audible off airport property above VMC limits.
