Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) Noise Abatement Procedures

Successive or simultaneous departures from Runways 24L/R and Runways 25 L/R are authorized, with course divergence beginning within 2 miles from the departure end of parallel runways, due to noise abatement restrictions.

The published departure procedure from Runways 25L/R may include a left turn in addition to the at or below 3000-foot altitude restriction, at the SMO 154º/SMO 160º crossing radial or the DOCKR/HIIPR RNAV fixes.

When the published departure procedure includes a left turn, expeditious compliance of this turn is required, when crossing the SMO 154º/160º radial or DOCKR/HIPPR RNAV fix, to ensure simultaneous departure separation from the north complex Runways 24L/R.

Failure to initiate the turn in an expeditions manner could result in the filing of a pilot deviation due to the automatic features of the Traffic Analysis and Review Program (TARP).
