Chandler Municipal Airport      
Noise Report
       
 
First complainant reported an isolated incident of helicopters flying low over the residential area just 
south of the airport. The complainant reported that they have lived in this residence for approximately 
22 years and are accustomed to aircraft noise. However, on the day of the report, the complainant 
indicated that one specific helicopter was flying abnormally low, many times in pattern. The 
complainant asked for and was given the telephone number for the FAA Flight Standards District Office  
Staff found that this aircraft was below normal maneuvering altitudes in the traffic pattern as verified 
through flight tracking systems The helicopter was conducting flight training and the chief flight 
instructor was contacted by staff to inform them that their aircraft was the subject of a report. 
The complainant for aircraft noise reported that a large jet had overflew his neighborhood to land at 
CHD. It was asked if the bigger aircraft could follow the highway (Loop 202) instead of flying over houses. 
Flight tracking systems found the aircraft’s approach into CHD. It was an out-of-state charter jet from 
Texas on an IFR flight plan. The aircraft was on the published approach to the airport for the runway. It 
appears that this aircraft was following the procedural approach as instructed by air traffic. 
Second complainant for aircraft noise was for an incident that occurred in California with a Santa Monica 
based aircraft originating from CHD. It appears that this complainant is seeing that this aircraft is leaving 
from CHD on a public flight tracking site and landing at Santa Monica. Unable to leave a message but 
sent an email for the complainant to contact the Santa Monica Municipal Airport with the noise concern.
