All commercial, non-profit and student filming, videography and photography activities on Airport property require prior review and approval of the Airport Director, a County of Orange permit and a permit fee. The permitting process requires a minimum of five working days. Requests are reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

Areas of availability are very limited and filming is prohibited beyond the security checkpoints or on the airfield itself.
