REPORT AIRCRAFT NOISE
Aircraft-noise complaints are received and managed by Centennial Airport through its official reporting system. CACNR helps residents understand the process, reviews complaint information, and provides a forum for discussing community concerns, but it does not operate the official complaint system.
IDENTIFY A FLIGHT
Centennial Airport’s WebTrak system allows residents to review aircraft activity around the Airport and can help identify flights associated with a particular time and location.
If you are trying to determine which aircraft passed over your neighborhood, checking WebTrak before submitting a complaint may help you provide more accurate information.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER A COMPLAINT IS SUBMITTED?
Centennial Airport receives and manages official aircraft-noise complaints.
Complaint information is compiled by the Airport and can help document recurring concerns, identify patterns in reported activity, and provide information for ongoing discussions about aircraft noise.
Complaint data is also shared with CACNR as part of the Roundtable’s review and discussion of community noise concerns.
WHAT IS CACNR’S ROLE?
CACNR does not control aircraft, airspace, flight paths, or federal aviation procedures, and it does not operate Centennial Airport’s official noise-complaint system.
CACNR brings community representatives, Centennial Airport, aviation stakeholders, and public agencies together to review aircraft-noise concerns, discuss available information, and develop recommendations that may help reduce impacts on surrounding communities.
WHO CONTROLS AIRCRAFT OPERATIONS?
The Federal Aviation Administration has federal authority over the national airspace system, aircraft operations, flight procedures, and aviation-safety requirements.
Centennial Airport operates Airport facilities and programs, maintains official noise-management resources, and receives official aircraft-noise complaints.
CACNR provides a collaborative public forum for discussing aircraft-noise concerns and recommending possible courses of action.
