\"Noise

The airport has instituted noise abatement procedures and defined flight corridors. Our visual flight rules for aircraft are voluntary by law, and pilots and aircraft operators are strongly urged to follow them when safety permits. During times of instrument flight rules when pilots must fly under the guidance of radar, the procedures do not apply. View HYA’s Flight Path Maps here.<\/a><\/p>\n

Comments, questions and other information related to airport noise are welcome via a designated phone number, 508-862-8268<\/a>. Messages are taken live when possible or recorded on voicemail. The airport employs a noise abatement coordinator who receives and investigates all noise complaints.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Questions about air traffic:<\/h2>\n

If at any time, you have questions about air traffic to certain areas located within five miles of the airport, our noise abatement office can assist you.\u00a0 There are areas in both Barnstable and Yarmouth that will frequently receive air traffic overhead. In an effort to assist those who are sensitive to noise, this can be a valuable tool in making decisions on what area is best for you. For information, please call 508-862-8268<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Voluntary Quiet Hours:<\/h2>\n

Cape Cod Gateway Airport has established voluntary quiet hours between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. During these times, airlines and general aviation operators are encouraged to limit their flights so that citizens in neighboring communities are not disturbed during normal sleeping hours. Also, training, touch-and-go and certification flights are prohibited without approval of the airport management.<\/p>\n

While the quiet hours are voluntary, operations that do occur during this time are carefully monitored and recorded. Fortunately, flights during quiet hours are kept to a minimum. They usually consist of flights resulting from weather delays, emergency medical flights or early morning aircraft repositioning flights.<\/p>\n

Please keep in mind that the FAA does not allow the airport to mandate these quiet hours or allow the airport to violate anyone not complying with the airport’s request.<\/p>\n
