HOW TO FILE A COMPLAINT:

There are two preferred methods for submitting noise complaints to VNY and LAWA (Los Angeles World Airports). PLEASE DO LOG YOUR COMPLAINTS! VNY and LAWA cannot fine the flights if we do not log the violations. The community must report these violations to keep them in check. Otherwise these problems will only become more frequent and much worse.
