Aircraft Noise
Some landing pattern aircraft make more noise over North Tustin than is necessary. If you are disturbed by an excessive noise, be sure to use the JWA Noise Complaint Hotline at (949) 252-5185. You will probably not get any direct feedback but the calls are logged and reported. If aircraft are in violation of approach rules, the airline and pilot can be fined. This applies to commercial and civil aviation aircraft. If you do not complain, there is no evidence of a problem. You can also contact Hal Marshall, FCA Airport Committee Chair (see Directors link at left).
