At the Indianapolis Executive Airport, noise abatement procedures are a big priority to minimize the impact of aircraft operations on nearby communities. One effective strategy involves utilizing Runway 36, which directs departing aircraft north, away from densely populated areas, reducing the noise disturbance for residents. The airport also aims to do most flights during the daytime hours, when the surrounding area is more active, and the potential disruption is less noticeable. Nighttime operations are kept to a minimum to further reduce noise-related concerns, ensuring that the airport's activities have as little impact as possible on the local community. By implementing these practices, the airport strives to balance its operational needs with the comfort and peace of its neighbors.

Aircraft approaching Indianapolis Executive Airport (TYQ) typically descend at a 3-degree angle to the runway during the final stages of their approach. This is the standard approach angle used for landing aircraft at U.S. airports and remains unchanged. However, deviations from this approach may occur due to traffic separation needs or adverse weather conditions.
The altitude of departing aircraft is generally influenced by aircraft performance and air temperature. Larger, heavier aircraft, especially those with full passenger and cargo loads, may experience a slower climb rate, resulting in these aircraft flying lower than smaller aircraft on the same route.
According to Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) Part 91.119, the minimum altitude over urban areas is 1,000 feet above ground level (AGL) and 500 feet AGL over rural areas, except when necessary for departure or landing.
Our airport is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
The intensity of aircraft noise at a specific location can fluctuate daily due to various atmospheric phenomena. The propagation of sound waves, or how noise travels through the air, is affected by several atmospheric conditions such as wind, temperature, atmospheric inversion, cloud cover, humidity, and fog. While these conditions do not account for all factors influencing noise, they can help explain the daily variations in how aircraft noise is transmitted.
