Falcon Field Airport

I have flew my Mooney into Falcon Field on a few occasions. Great Airport and facilities. I am reading all of these negative reviews because of the air traffic and noise. I don't understand these people!! Falcon Field was built in 1941, and as of this posting, was 84 years ago. It amazes me how people will buy a home near an airport and then complain about it. If you don't want to live near an airport, sell and move. Don't complain when you make a conscious choice to live near an airport that has been in operation since 1941.

Don't even think about renting or buying a home within 2-3 miles of this airport. It has over 900+ take-offs and landings per day with extremely noisy old Piper aircrafts from the 70s and 80s so the noise is unrelenting!! FAA just allows it and there's nothing the city can do about it. Quiet hours are 10:30pm-6:00am the rest of the time you will hear an aircraft about once very minute with the math.

The recent increases in flight school operations at Falcon Field make the surrounding airspace very congested and cause extensive delays for pilots who fly once or twice a month. On the ground within flight path neighborhoods? There is ridiculous engine noise over my house than just a few years ago. Some engine noise is acceptable considering that we live near Falcon Field, but recent large increases in the volume and frequency of engine sounds from what are obviously flight school planes is not. If you choose to fly here? You will be pushed to the back of the line for flight school maintenance. Move flight schools to a more appropriate airport. Falcon Field was never supposed to have this much congestion. There is active petition to the city of Mesa for change.

Ran into an issue with my holiday packages being left in the locker too long since we were out of town. I was actually quite happy with the solution as I was told by the customer service line I’d need to pick them up. Joann called me this evening about 2 hours after submitting my ticket and said she would have the delivery driver drop it off to my parcel locker as long as I picked it up.

Falcon Field Airport is very inviting. There are two awesome, comfortable public viewing areas. Great for all ages! There are pilots entering and exiting all day and many, many planes taking off and landing. Best viewing is in the morning when most planes are out before it gets too hot. Thank you for creating such a wonderful spot to visit.

Dangerous, saturated airport with excessive flight school traffic. High school kids, pilots trainees and foreigners are training day and night (in violation of City of Mesa Quiet Hours) in our skies, taking off every 15 seconds all day long on dual runways - flying training loops dangerously low with thundering noise over neighboring communities and schools. Two weeks ago there was a preventable runway accident! The old school airport administration and management does nothing to address the serious noise issues affecting the health and well being of neighboring Mesa communities - despite consistent resident complaints and community forums providing evidence of the issues. Flight schools disregard the FFZ voluntary noise abatement guidelines every day and there are no consequences for offenders. FFZ is literally out of control - and the inmates are running the asylum!

I really like this airport because it is close to home. I live and sell in the Citrus Corridor in Mesa and I have gotten used to the planes flying overhead. The viewing area to the runway is pretty nice. The terminal is clean and well equipped. There is a nice park that is next to the terminal area. I love that Falcon Field has a school for pilots that are from all over the world. I'm so glad that the City of Mesa has this amazing airport that has such a beautiful takeoff view. I have only flown out of this airport once and I hope to be flying out more soon. (And landing, too.)

They are the primary noise and lead polluter in the entire greater phoenix valley (and beyond) area. They are allowing the rude flight schools to inundate communities they fly over (Mesa, Apache Junction, Gold Canyon, Queen Valley, Superior, etc.) on a daily basis. I’ve logged complaints with them and they continue to pass the ball of accountability down the line. The lead poisoning, noise, fear of planes crashing down or a mid-air collision are all very relevant issues. The sheer number of offending pilots/planes I’ve recorded is unconscionable.

Great airport. Much nicer than Chandler, and more much convenient if flying or driving in from Vegas.

My uncle stored his planes at Falcon Field for many years. He took us to their original museum and then to the new one when it was built. There is an array of flight history compete with real planes from the past. Visitors can climb up into some of the old airplanes. Falcon Field is a great place to show visitors who are interested in any aspect of flight or just have a couple hours to spare. The employees, workers and volunteers are just super. The displays are perfect for history buffs.

Great airport to fly into. Easy to get into but it is busy with normal traffic and students.

A bit noisy living nearby but cool to visit they have lots of old relic planes totally fixed up

HUGE thank you to the mechanic and service manager Bruce for his assistance this week. I flew in from Orange County on Wednesday morning and had issues getting started back up to head home. Even though the shop closed at 4pm, Bruce was there at 5:30pm working and was willing to come out to the parking area to help troubleshoot the issue. Ultimately it was a failed starter. Bruce called another mechanic to come back in to assist to replace it and by 8pm they had it up and running again so I could get back home that night. Obviously this was amazing customer service and he went well above and beyond to help me in a pinch when he could have easily told me they were closed and gone for the day. I really appreciate his help and would absolutely recommend Falcon Field and their mechanics to anyone.

Not sure what to say. Lots of FBO's and everything you need at an airport.
