When it applies

Source text, verbatim

Safety permitting, avoid flying over nearby residential areas when arriving or departing Hillsboro Airport. Please follow these procedures when safety, weather, and ATC instructions permit:
Aircraft should avoid unnecessary overflight of the urban residential areas.
Due to community noise impacts, nighttime training operations (e.g. touch-and-goes, missed approaches, etc.) are discouraged between 2200 local and 0600 local daily
Safety always supersedes noise abatement patterns. The procedures described in this guide are not intended to preempt the prerogative or responsibilities of the pilot-in-command for aircraft operation. The procedures are not intended to conflict with ATC instructions, which are the exclusive authority of the FAA.
