Noise Abatement Information - Last update 01/26/2022
Curfews
All Runways | All Aircraft Categories | Arrival & Departure
A Voluntary Restraint From Flying (VRFF) Program (commonly referred to as the “voluntary curfew”) has been adopted requesting that all operators refrain from flying between the hours of midnight and 6:30 a.m. daily. This policy was adopted in order to keep the noise down during these sensitive hours and also to be a good neighbor. The noise abatement office keeps track of all operations that take place during the program hours; subsequently, we contact each operator who flies during the VRFF to remind them about the program and to notify them of any noise complaints they may have caused as a result of their operations.
Operators please note: this is not a mandatory curfew, but a voluntary program. We encourage all operators to cooperate and appreciate your best efforts to participate and comply with this program.

Noise Monitoring
An Airport Noise and Operations Monitoring System (ANOMS) is used to collect noise data from 22 remote noise monitoring terminals 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The aircraft and community noise levels are reported and published in the Airport Monitor.
A High Range Noise Event (HRNE) Program is in place to reduce the noise impacts on the communities surrounding the airport. Our ANOMS allows staff to identify any operator who causes a maximum noise level (MNL) noise event of 90.0 decibels (dBA) or higher at any of our remote noise monitor terminals (RMTs). Please note: due to the proximity of RMT’s 2R and 17 near the airport’s perimeter, these monitors are not part of the HRNE program. All operators who cause HRNE’s will be contacted by the Environmental Department and notified in an effort to reduce noise levels. Operators please note: there are no fines, penalties or aircraft restrictions associated with this program; however, we seek your cooperation and best efforts to use quiet flying techniques when operating.
Prior Permission (PPR) Operations
Advanced Authorization Program: Aircraft over
120,000 lbs. must contact the Airport Operations
department (914-995-4850) prior to landing or
departing at HPN.
