Noise rules matter here. The airport has an extreme noise-sensitive environment. There is a curfew for repetitive prop operations between late evening and early morning. Takeoff noise limits also apply. Formation arrivals and departures are prohibited except for emergency response aircraft. When the tower is closed, use the published lighting procedures. Contact SoCal Approach for clearance delivery. Taxiway A2 and A3 are non-visual areas. Pilots taxiing out from the northwest airfield must contact the tower at checkpoint 1 on taxiway A2.
