What is the Voluntary Noise Abatement Program (VNAP)? In an effort to minimize aircraft noise impacts on the community, the County has established a Voluntary Noise Abatement Program (VNAP). The VNAP routings are recommendations to Visual Flight Rule (VFR) aircraft that were coordinated with the FAA but were not formally recognized or accepted by the FAA as official air traffic control (ATC) procedures. Instrument Flight Rule (IFR) aircraft are always under the heading and altitude command of the FAA air traffic controllers. Because noise avoidance information is a general recommendation it may not conform to ATC patterns and instructions. It is important to note that the VNAP can not be made directive to the FAA or pilots and because of safety, traffic sequence, or weather factors, etc., the FAA air traffic control instructions and pilot requests will have precedence over the VNAP. Aircraft safety is the primary consideration for pilots and the FAA Control Tower.
