FAA and the City of Phoenix are sensitive to noise issues affecting communities surrounding GYR.  Noise relief is a shared responsibility.  The following procedures will assist in meeting our mutual goal:

• Avoid low-level flight over residential areas
  
  
• If feasible keep patters south of I-10 and North of The Estrella Mountain Ranch Community
  
  
• If flight north of I-10 is necessary, remain above 1,000 feet AGL until south of I-10
  
  
• Control tower will limit the number of aircraft in the pattern
  
  
• Fly a tight pattern and keep noise as close to the airport as possible
  
  
• Helicopters should avoid low level flight and residential areas when possible
  
  
• Piston aircraft are encouraged to follow the AOPA Noise Awareness Steps, when possible
  
  
• Turbine/Jet aircraft pilots are encouraged to use the NBAA’s Noise Abatement Program, when possible
  
  
• Airfield guidance signs reminding pilots of these measures will be installed at A-1 and A-10

 The airport operator is continually evaluating procedures and working with stakeholders to mitigate the impact of aircraft noise on surrounding communities.
