NBAA: Tell Us About Your SMO Noise Violations
Under the new runway configuration, the noise monitors are 735 feet closer to the beginning of the takeoff roll, increasing the risk of noise violations.

Concerned that the new runway configuration at Santa Monica Municipal Airport (SMO) in California might lead to increased noise violations, NBAA is asking operators to report any related noise warnings or citations to the association. SMO temporarily closed to traffic this month while Santa Monica completed the shortening of Runway 3/21 from 5,000 feet to 3,500 feet.
