As with any airport, aircraft noise is generated from its operations. However, the degree to which noise affects an individual is subjective to flight operations, geography & weather. Below are some resources to help you learn more about PDK and the effects of its operations on noise: Have a complaint?

*If you wish to file an aircraft noise complaint, you have options of a web form, a dedicated app, a phone call to (770) 936-5442 or an email to the Complaint Hotline.

Please contact Environmental and Noise Analyst, Korey Barnes for any questions  kbarnes@dekalbcountyga.gov or 770-936-5420

There is a PDK Advisory Board appointed by DeKalb Commissioners to assist the DeKalb BOC & Commissioner Robert Patrick with oversight and these meetings are held monthly, open to the public and all minutes and videos of the meetings are available here

There is also a new PDK Master Plan in the works as required for Federal Funding and there are people and organizations with concerns of excessive growth but from what I read the growth will be more hangers and no new runway expansions.

  • Common Aircraft Flight Tracks - Interested in learning about the typical aircraft flight tracks over a potential house or neighborhood? Do you have general questions about how PDK operates?

  • Aircraft Noise Contour Map (modeled on 2016 aircraft operations data) - This data shows the various noise contour lines based on the DNL (Day-Night Average Sound Level) for the area. This is the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA's) metric for measuring the impact of aircraft noise on a community. To be impacted by aircraft noise (according to the FAA), one must live within the 65 DNL noise contour).
