L.A. Helo Operators Support Noise-complaint System
Helicopter groups want a noise complaint hotline in the Los Angeles area to remain available for neighbors.

Helicopter associations in Los Angeles have announced their support to keep an area noise-complaint system in operation amid a proposed shutdown. The Automated Complaint System (ACS) became available in 2015 and was designed to be in place for one year. At the request of the Los Angeles Area Helicopter Operators Association (LAAHOA) and the Professional Helicopter Pilots Association (PHPA), however, the service was extended twice to continue its availability. The groups are members of the helicopter noise-complaint review committee and recently became aware of the FAA’s proposal to discontinue the hotline, which costs about $30,000 annually to operate.
