Noise Abatement

Mesa Gateway Airport strives to be a good neighbor to our surrounding communities. We ask pilots to help us achieve this by following our Fly Friendly procedures:

  1. Runway 30 is designated as the calm wind runway.
  2. Use best rate of climb, consistent with safety and Air Traffic Control procedures.
  3. Runway 12L/30R for jet aircraft pattern work (3100ft MSL) is preferred. When using Runway 30R, start right crosswind turns as soon as practical to avoid residential areas north of the Airport.
  4. Jets are requested to use NBAA Standard Noise Abatement Departure or comparable aircraft manufacturer procedures.
  5. Propeller aircraft requested to use AOPA Noise Awareness Steps.
  6. Helicopter traffic avoid low overflights of noise sensitive areas.
  7. Compliance with fly friendly procedures are appreciated and at pilot’s discretion.

Download our Pilot Card for more information and a map of noise sensitive areas.
