noise abatement Airport sponsor published verified 2026-08-28 (42 d ago)

Published by the airport sponsor; voluntary unless ATC assigns it. If ATC assigns this route to you in Class B, C or D airspace, that assignment is an ATC instruction and compliance is required (14 CFR 91.123) — and “unable” remains available to the pilot in command.

Touch-and-go only 1000-1700 daily with tower authorization and single-engine only; no pattern work overnight; formation operations prohibited without written approval.

The route

  1. Touch-and-go operations available 1000 to 1700 local daily, on a tower workload basis, with tower authorization required — no touch-and-go or stop-and-go for any reason after 1700 local
  2. Touch-and-go is restricted to single engine aircraft; multi-engine aircraft must make full stop landings. Runway 7 and 25 pilots should be airborne prior to the Delta intersection
  3. All takeoffs shall be made from the beginning of the active runway using the approved takeoff surface prior to the displaced threshold
  4. Runway 25 intersection takeoffs are only authorized from the Bravo and Charlie intersections, at the tower's discretion; no intersection takeoffs are authorized from runway 7
  5. No pattern work 2200-0800 local weekdays, and 2200-1000 local weekends and holidays
  6. Formation takeoffs and landings are prohibited unless authorized in writing by the Airport Manager
  7. Jet and high performance turboprop aircraft are requested to use the manufacturer's best noise abatement takeoff procedures; when safe, pilots are requested to adjust propeller pitch to reduce noise
  8. During non-tower hours, helicopter traffic should fly over the 105 Freeway north of the airport to stay clear of fixed-wing flow, at at least 700 ft MSL

THE FLY QUIETLY PROGRAM:
Noise abatement is both a safety program and a quality of life program... Safety is paramount while quality of life is critical to a successful program.
FOR NOISE ABATEMENT:
Touch-and-Go Operations available 1000 to 1700 Local daily, and on a Hawthorne Tower workload basis. Tower Authorization required. No Touch-and-go's or Stop-and-go's for any reason after 1700 Local.
Touch-and-go's are restricted to single engine aircraft. RWY 7 and 25 pilots should be airborne prior to Delta intersection. (MULTI-ENGINE AIRCRAFT MUST MAKE FULL STOP LANDINGS.)
All takeoffs shall be made from the beginning of the active runway using the approved takeoff surface prior to the displaced threshold.
Runway 25 intersection takeoffs are only authorized from Bravo and Charlie intersections and only available at Tower's discretion.
No intersection takeoffs are authorized from Runway 7.
During non-Tower hours of operation, the helicopter traffic should be flown over the 105 Freeway north of the airport to avoid the flow of fixed-wing aircraft, and at an altitude of at least 700 ft MSL (634 ft. AGL).
No pattern work 2200 Local to 0800 Local Weekdays, and 2200 to 1000 Local Weekends and Holidays.
Jet and high performance turboprop aircraft are requested to use manufacturer's best noise abatement takeoff performance procedures.
Formation takeoffs and landings are prohibited unless authorized in writing by the Hawthorne Airport Manager.
[City Aircraft Noise Fact Sheet:] The Hawthorne Municipal Airport does not have a curfew for aircraft. The FAA requires that this Airport be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
