Aircraft noise over Waipahu from Daniel K. Inouye International and military traffic is governed by federal FAA and HRS Section 261-12, not ROH.
Waipahu sits under flight paths serving Daniel K. Inouye International Airport and military operations to the east. Aircraft noise is preempted by federal FAA regulation, and military flights fall under Department of Defense authority. State-level law under HRS Section 261-12 directs the Hawaii DOT to require noise abatement procedures in tour-aircraft permits. ROH Chapter 41 Article 6 expressly excludes aircraft in flight, so HPD cannot cite overflight noise. Waipahu residents with concerns should file complaints with the FAA Honolulu FSDO, Hawaii DOT, or the relevant base community relations office for military operations.
No local violations apply because the city ordinance excludes aircraft. Waipahu overflight complaints should be directed to the FAA, Hawaii DOT, or the relevant military installation.
