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.
Land on 28L/R, depart on 10R/L — opposed operations, chosen to keep both flows away from the noise-sensitive areas.
The route
- Preferential runway for arrivals: 28L/R
- Preferential runway for departures: 10R/L
- During the voluntary non-operation hours, landings are limited to runway 28 and take-offs to runway 10R unless conditions dictate otherwise
When it applies
- Arriving 28L or 28R "Arrivals: Rwy 28 L/R"
- Departing 10R or 10L "Departures: Rwy 10 R/L"
