AIRPORT REi..ATIOtVS COIVIIUIISSION I�INUTES
JANUARY 13, 1999
The regular meeting of the Mendota Heights Airport Relaiions Commission was held on
Tuesday, January 13, 1999 in the City Hall Large Conference Room, 1101 Victoria
Curve. The meeting was called to order at 7:00 p.m. The following members were
present: Beaty, Roszak, Fitzer, Leuman, Stein and May. Commissioner Des Roches
was excused. Also present were City Administrator Kevin Batchelder and Senior
Secretary Kim Blaeser.
APPROVAL OF IViINUTES
Commissioner Leuman moved approval of the December 9, 1998 minutes.
Commissioner Fitzer seconded the motion.

Administrator Batchelder explained that in November, the MAC and the City of
Minneapolis agreed to a contract on the Third Parallel Runway. He explained
that the Commission briefly reviewed the contract at their December meeting and
that the Commission requested a comparison, contract to contract, with the
Mendota Heights contract.
Administrator Batchelder explained that the Commission's goal should be to
make a recommendation to the City Council suggesting changes to the contract
between the MAC and the City of Mendota Heights.
The Commission discussed the following comparisons between the Mendota
Heights contract with MAC prohibiting a third parallel runway and the recently
signed MAClCity of Minneapolis contract. (The comparisons are listed below
along with specific discussion as generated by the Commission).
CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS CITY OF IUIINNEAPOLIS ,
�
Recitais
Recitals
Section 1 of the Minneapolis contract
includes additional language as follows:
"That provides the corporation (MAC)
may not construct a third parallel
runway wifihout the affected city's
approval".
Commissioner Roszak suggested that a copy of the 1994 State Statute
referencing the above recital be included as a source of reference to the
contract.
Section 2 is identical in each contract.
Section 3 is identical in each contract.
Section 4 of the Minneapolis contract
has an additional sentence that reads
"The City and MAC have identified other
mafiters of mutual interest that are also (
addressed in this contract.
Administrator Batchelder questioned whether the additional sentence should be
added because this item is addressed later within the contract under land
purchases. Chair Beaty suggested that Runway Use Projections should be
included. Administrator Batchelder reminded the Commission that the EIS was
not completed at the time the Mendota Heights contract was signed. He stated
that the MAC, at the time of the contract signing, agreed to give Mendota
Heights the same provisions as the City of Minneapolis. Commissioner Roszak
stated that the MAC may not agree to add new language.
DEFINITIONS
DEFINITIONS
Section 1 of the Minneapolis contract
has additional language defining
"generally parallel".
The Commission noted that the additional language "generally parallel" should
be added to the Mendota Heights contract. The Commission noted that this
definition encompasses all runways.
The second sentence of Section 2 has
the additional clause stating "so long as
the acquisition of any property to the
north of and generally paraliel to the
existing parallel runways includes".
The Commission discussed this clause and inquired if the definition included
acquisition of land. Administrator Batchelder informed the Commission that he is
still waiting far a copy of the contract or some form of confirmation that the MAC
will not be constructing a third parallel runway on the Bureau of Mines land.
The Commission determined that additional review to determined what is
preferred or not is necessary.
Commissioner May arrived at 7:40 p.m.
Section 2 of our City's contract ends with
the restrict covenant running for the
benefit of the affected property owners
"and fihe City".
Their contract has the addiiional
language "as defined in paragraph
4 below".
__.
The Commission felt that Mendota Heights language "and the Gity" is the
O preferred language. Batchelder stated that this is better language because it
\` � gives the City same third party benefit rights as third party property owners.
Section 3 is identical in both contracts.
Section 4 has additional language
in parenthesis stating (whether a
legal owner or an equitable owner)
The Commission felt that adding "whether a legal owner or an equitable owner
should be added to the Mendata Heights contract.
It should be noted that the diagram
designating the area meeting the
"affected property owner" criteria
Has not been approved by the City.
Sample maps were produced by MAC,
but have not been approved by our City.
It is not known if MAC and Mpls.
have produced diagrams for an
exhibit to their contract.
Regarding the diagram, the Commission discussed Ldn 65 contours and how
affected property owners should be identified. Commissioner Roszak pointed
{ ) out that the map should be built off of specific legal descriptions. Chair Beaty
- stated that not all areas are referred to correctly. Commissioner May stated that
all pictoria� documents should be drawn to scale and should be surveyed as well
He stated that there is a need for an accurate representation of property.
The Commission felt that the City of Mendota Heights should inquire if the City of
Minneapolis agrees with the diagrams. Commissioner Roszak suggested that a
letter be sent inquiring about the interpretation of the third parallel runway usage.
Terms
Our agreement runs through December
31, 2020 with provisions for three, automatic,
additional ten year terms, unless we mutually
agree to terminate the automatic renewal.
This would go to January 1, 2051.
Our contract has a provision that after
January 1, 2021, the agreement may be
terminated by the Legislature. This
termination language is identical in each
Contract, only the year is different.
Section 2 is identical except the date, which
in our contract is December 31, 2020.
Their term runs to December 31, 2050.
Their contract has a provision that
after January 1,,2036, the agreement
may be terminated by the
Legislature.
The promise date in the Mpls. contract
Is December 31, 2035.
The Commission felt that the above Minneapolis language should be added to
Mendota Heights contract.
Our Section 3 is identical to Mpls. Section 4,
with the exception that they have added
the following language "the Dual Track
Airport Planning Process Final Environ.
Impact Statement, May 1998 (``DTAPP/EIS")
A document not available at the time of
execution of our contract.
Our Section 4 is similar to their Section 4.
We have an additional clause that starts
Section 4 as follows "It is intended by the
Commission and the City that".
Their Section 3 has additional language
in the first sentence with the following
clause inserted after Agreement.
"related to the prohibition on construct.
of a third parallel runway.
Administrator Batchelder stated that there is no differences between the two
contracts.
Our Section 4 refers back to the language in (
Terms, 1St Paragraph, which is different dates
than in Mpis. agreement.
Administrator Batchelder informed the Commission that Mendota Heights
language is much narrower.
Our Section 5 is identical to their Section 10.
Our Section 6, allowing other affected cities
to adopt our contract, or reach a separate
agreement, is not contained in the Mpls contract.
At Section 5 of the Mpls. contract, their
contract diverges significantly from our
contract with additional provisions that
are not in the Mendota Heights/MAC
contract.
Their Section 5 discusses the use of
Runway 17/35 in accordance with the
conditions set forth in the Dual Track
FEIS, Appendix A, page A.3-17. This is
to prevent departures to the north off of
Runway 17/35, except under limited
safety and weather conditions. This
section furfiher refers to a letter from the
Mayor of Mpls. detailing percentages of
arrivals from the north.
Section 5 also discusses operating
Runway 17/35 in a manner designed to
maximize airfield capacity, reduce
community noise and equitably
distribute noise fihroughout the
community. This section also commits
MAC to not seek to permanently close
down one or both parallel runways
without the approval of the City, or
request any changes to the runway use
system, which would be inconsistent
with pages A.3-17 of the FEIS.
Regarding Secfiion 5 of the Minneapolis contract, the Commission discussed air
noise distribution. Commissioner Roszak stated that the air noise should be
distributed throughout the metropolitan area and not just throughout a specific
community.
In Section 6, MAC agrees not to acquire
for use as air operations any land within
Minneapolis north of TH 62 without the
approval of the City, except for runway
approach protection, Part 150 or to
located navigational aids.
Administrator Batchelder stated that Section 6 does not affect the City of
Mendota Heights. The Commission discussed how the City of Mendota should
have a guarantee that no land within Mendota Heights will be used for off site
airport use (i.e., car rental agencies, car washes, etc).
In Section 7, MAC agrees to
immediately expand the Noise
Monitoring System in the area affected
by the existing parallel runways. It is
not known whether the current ANOMS
expansion satisfies this requirement of
the contract.
�'
Regarding Section 7, the Commission discussed the possibility of adding more
monitors and that the Mendota Heights contract should include this Section.
In Section 8, MAC affirms its overall
commitment to a fairer distribution of air
traffic, specifically its commitment prior
to completion of the North South
Runway to use Runway 4/22 to
distribute traffic to other parts of the
Metropolitan area.
Regarding Section 8, the Commission felt it important that the City of Mendota
Heights include this section within its contract.
In Section 9, the contract limits MAC's
potential use of the Bureau of Mines
property currently being considered for
acquisition by MAC. Paragraph E
describes the allawed land uses.
Paragraph F addresses demolition of
existing buildings on BOM land. (;
Regarding Section 9, Administrator Batchelder stated that he does not see the
potential of developing park land.
Commissioner Roszak inquired if there are any goals that the City should inform
MAC about. Administrator Batchelder stated that the MAC should be made
aware of the 2005 Runway Usage Projection. He sfiated that the City has been
concerned with the operations being inequitable and that the Mendota Heights
contract should reflect more equitable distribution of air noise throughout the
metropolitan area.
Commissioner Roszak moved to recommend that the City Council direct
the City Administrator to send a letter to the tVtetropolitan Airports
Commission requesting the commencement of official negotiations to
resolve the differences between the t�endota Heights and Minneapolis
Contract (s) Prohibiting a Third Parallel Runway.
Commissioner Leuman seconded the motion.
AYES: 6

RECORD OF DECISION FOR
RUNVIIAY 17/35 EXECUTIVE SUIVIM�4RY
Administrator Batchelder provided the Commission with a copy of the Record of
Decision for Runway 17/35 - Executive Summary.
Batchelder informed the Commission that Executive Summary discusses Low
Frequency Noise Impacts (Pages 39 and 40). He informed the Commission that
the Summary refers to the Mendota Heights Contract along with MSP expansion
concepts.
Commissioner Roszak inquired if the City of Eagan has shared their contract
with the City of Mendota Heights. Administrator Batchelder stated that he has
not heard from the City of Eagan. Roszak inquired if the City of Mendota Heights
has a"me too" contract with the City of Eagan, and if so, is it in letter format.
Roszak noted that if the City of Eagan weights in and cuts a deal, will the City of
Mendota Heights be able to do the same. Batchelder stated that he would need
to speak with Eagan's new assistant.
UPDATE
Runw� 4/22 Settlement � MAC/Richfield
Administrator Batchelder informed the Commission that Mr. Jeff Hamiel will fax
any documents pertaining to this issue and that he will forward it to the
Commission as soon as it is received.
Airport Controlled Propertx
Administrator Batchelder explained that the test cell site which Northwest Airlines
runs its engine testing is an indoor facility and that it runs 24 hours a day.
Richfield Settlement
The Commission briefly reviewed an article within the Airport Noise Report, Vol.
10, No. 25) regarding the Richfield settlement.

Subject: Unf'ulished and New Business for February Meeting
DISCUSSI�N
This memo will cover the agenda items for Unfinished and New Business and Updates.
l. Mr Roy_Fuhrmann - is scheduled to be the guest speaker for our February 10, 1999
meeting. As requested, Mr. Fuhrmann will be prepared to discuss the development of
specifications for investigafiing the use of Global Positioning Satellites (GPS), in
particular, how the use of GPS may enhance the use of the Southeast Corridor for the
benefit of our community. Other areas of interest include the review of the Non-
Simultaneous Departure compliance and the evaluation of the Southeast Corridor.
Attached you will find a document entitled Specifications for an Airport System DGPS -
Requirements Assessment, that Mr. Fuhrmann distributed at the January 15, 1999
MASAC Operations Committee meeting: Please refer to the minutes of that meeting in
the Acknowledgments section of your agenda packet. This topic is current and it is
important because the FAA is currently writing specifications for how GPS will be used
in the future. This allows the MSP cornmunities an opportunity to contribute to the
implementation of this new technology.
Mr. Fuhrmann is also working with the FAA Control Tower to provide Mendota
Heights with a second, six month study of Non-Simultaneous Departure compliance.
The Commission may wish to ask him about the first repozt and progress on the second
study, due in March/April.
The evaluation of the Southeast Corridor is scheduled as a MASAC priority later in
1999. The Commission may wish to make inquiries about this evaluation, and any
other topic listed on MASAC's work plan for 1999.
. , � � �, , 1
Meet with Mr. Fuhrmann and discuss the implementation of Global Positioning
Satellite technology and other MASAC work plan goals for 1999.
2. Acknowled�e Test Cell U.�date Discussion - In October, MASAC was discussing the
Ground Noise Study conducted by MAC staff, and it was suggested that Northwest �
Airlines' test cell site was possibly contributing to the noise environment and might be
the source of unidentified ground noise that residents were complaining about. This
topic was addressed by Mr. Mark Salmen, of Northwest Airlines at the December 11,
1999 MASAC Operations Committee meeting and, then again, at the January 15, 1999
MASAC Operations Committee meeting. Please refer to the minutes of these two
meetings, which are enclosed in the Acknowledgments section of your agenda packet.
3. Mayor Mertensotto's Election as 1VIASAC Chair - As you may know from the Friday
News, Mayor Mertensotto was elected as Chair of MASAC, for a two year term
beginning in February, 1999. As such, Mayor Mertensotto will chair all MASAC
meetings, and appoint the members of the MASAC Operations Committee and the
MASAC Executive Committee. This action came about primarily because there was a
strong desire by the community representatives on MASAC to have a community
representative as the Chair. It is also indicative of the respect for the Mayor's
knowledge and expertise on the airport issues, as well as, his ability to lead a group. I
will be prepared to update the Commission on all the details of the election.
4. Third Parallel Runway Contracts - City Council accepted the Commission's
recommendation and directed the City Administrator to send a letter to Mr. Jeff Hamiel
requesting that negotiations be�in so that our contract may be updated to have the same
provisions as the Minneapolis contract. The Commission will be kept informed and
will be relied upon to provide advice as this process of negotiation unfolds.
5. MASAC Work Plan - In the MASAC Agenda for Jan. 26, 1999, you will fmd the
most recent draft of the work plan for the coming year. MASAC adopted this plan that
evening. The development of the new 2005 Part 150 Contours will be a priority in the
coming year. The Commission should review this work plan.
6. Ground Run Up Enclosures - At the Jan. 15, 1999 MASAC Operations Committee,
Mr. Fuhrmann handed out the enclosed documents about types of ground run up
enclosures. MASAC will address this issue this year.
. , °, r y 4,5: �, j+ � ` i }'�y:
i
� -$ ;�'j { i �.
This Section will highlight information relating to the manufacturers and benefits
of ground run-up enclosures. Noise abating run-up enclosures have become more
;' � realistic with the advancements of newer technologies. Run-up enclosures can be
-- designed to reflect and absorb sound as well as deflecting debris. Typically, these
enclosures are consiructed with walls on three sides. Each wall has sound
absorbing material and a steel supporting structure that will also provide
transmission loss and blast protecrion. ..
Aircraft ground run-ups are roudne aircraft engine maintenance tests which
require the operation of the aircraft engine at thrust settings between engine idle
and take-off thrust. These run-ups may be conducted for extended periods. of time
and generate continuous elevated noise levels. During 1997, there were an average
of 4.5 daily aircraft engine run-ups conducted at the Minneapolis-St. Paul
International Airport (MSP).
S,1 Backgraund
Although there are few daily maintenance test run-ups, the activity may generate noise
complaints from adjacent neighborhoods. During 1997, 19 engine run-up noise
complaints were recorder by the Metropolitan Airports Commission's Noise Hotline.
In an effort to address some of the concerns raised by local communities, over the years,
the MAC has installed earth berms at various locations around the airport in an attempt to
limit the noise exposure to adjacent communities. In the mid 1980's the MAC installed a
blast deflector fence to redirect the airflow of the engine eachaust.. Although the blast

l
deflector was not designed as a noise absorption wall, some attenuation has been realized.
The concept of quieting aircraft run-ups is not rare, but structures or enclosures at
commercial airports throughout the world to contain run-up generated noise is a rare
occurrence.
-� Throughout the world, there are four basic categories of devices or measures used to quiet
aircraft ground run-up noise.
a. Earth Berm - A barrier made of earth to reduce the spreading effects of aircraft
ground noise. (Already in use at NISP)
b. Blast Fence or Noise Wall • A vertical or curved wall designed to redirect the aircraft
jet blast upward. (Already in use at lYISP)
c. Hush-House or Engine Test Cell - A facility that is fully enclosed, usually found at
military bases, and oiten designed for one particular type of aircraft.
f d. Ground Run-up Enclosure or Pen - A three or four sided structure designed to redi-

The following companies responded to MAC inquiries concerning commercially available
products for the absorption of ground run-up noise. The following is a list of companies
and the airports with their product:
5.2.1 Industrial Acoustics Company, Inc.
Industrial Acoustics Company, Inc. has built both Ground Run-up Enclosures and Hush
Houses. IAC has developed a multi-purpose, prefabricated facility for testing any fighter
aircraft currently operated by the United States AirForce. There are over 70 IAC units
installed world wide. These facilities are typically designed for a single type of aircraft or
series of similar aircraft types.
Figulre l. Au'craft Hush-House facility installed at a military USAF base.
IAC also provides run-up pens for aircraft maintenance activity. The run-up pen is
constructed of structural steel frames and steel panel components. The sound absorptive
noise transmission loss characteristics are grea�er than a blast fence. IAC estimates noise
level reduction capabilities of 20 dBA when using a noise pen.

BDI has also developed a Stabile-Flow technology which enhances the aerodynamic
qualities of the enclosure and allows the facility to be used in a wide diversity of wind
conditions, significantly reducing the risk of engine surges, and compressor stalls.

5.5 Conclusions
l. There are four to five manufacturers world wide, that have designed b ound run-up
enclosures or hush-houses for the suppression of aircraft noise. -
2. The installation of noise walls around the run-up pad may help reduce the noise impacts
of engine run-up accivity in surrounding communides. Many of the companies estimate
noise level reductions of 15 to 20 dBA for ground run-up enclosures.
3. Other technolo;ies such as "Hush Houses" and "Engine Silencers" are not practical due
to the wide ran?e of aircraft confi�urations and en�ine types that exist within the MSP
fleet. Mulaple structures or nwnerous en;ine silencers wouid need to be available to
accommodate all possible engine/aircraft configurations.
4. The ground run-up enclosure at Chicago O'Hare International Airgort by Blast
Deflectors, Inc. is currendy being used by their local maintenance personnel
appraximately 85% of the time. The ase has increased since the initial openin;, due to
excellent lighting, convenience and the apparent desi;n benefits for wind considerations
from the vented sides, rolled tops and tapered wa11s.
5. Costs for �ound run-up enclosures will vary depending on the size; and site work
required for the installation. IAC estimates approximately $50 per square foo� For a 400'
by 400' three sided structure 50' high, approximate cost would be $3 million.
Blast Deflectors, Inc., constructed the Chicago facility for $2.1 million with a total
project cost of $3.1 million.
Hush-house manufacturers declined to provide estimates, since the cost is directly related
to the size and type of aircraft the facility is consaucted to accommodate.

Approval of Minutes
The minutes of the October 27, 1998 meeting were approved as distributed with the following changes:
Page 2, item 3: The letter from Jce Little of Inver Grove Heights was forwarded to the Operations
Committee rather than the staff for evaluation.
Page 2, item 4: Jennifer Sayre reported that the actual number of days impacted by the NWA pilots' strike
was 20. '
Page 8, item 6: Mark Salmen said the first sentence of the last paragraph of this item should read,
"Cha.irperson Salmen said the issue was not a Richfield issue only and that the purpose of the study in
question was to report on the sources of ground noise at the airport and was not intended to be a low
frequency study."
3. Introduction of invited guests
Recei�t of Communications
A letter was received from Jon Hohenstein, Eagan, regarding his resignation as one of the city's MASAC
representatives. He noted that Jamie Verbrugge had been hired as the city's new Assistant City
Adrninistrator and would be representing the city at MASAC in his place.
A letter was received from Kevin Batchelder; Mendota Heights, appointing two alternates to represent the �i
city at the MASAC meeting. 1fie two identified aiternates were George May and Ellsworth Stein. �
Chairman Johnson noted that the 1999 date for the November-December joint MASAC meeting had been
moved back a week to November 30�' so that the Mendota Heights' representatives would be able to attend
this meeting next year.
4. Technical Advisor's Runwa�vstem Utilization Report and Complaint Summary
Shane VanderVoort, MAC Advisor, briefed the Technical Advisor's Report.
Dean Lindberg, Minneapolis, asked about the high concentration of calls from one block on the map. He
asked if there was a conelation with overflights or if it represents a serial caller. Roy Fuhrmann, Technical
Advisor, said these types of anomaties usually represent one or two residences on a block. Mr. Lindberg
asked if the stai� ever follow up with the individuals. Mr. Fuhrmann said they will if the individual
requests it, but that since the complaint line doesn't ask for individual's phone numbers and people who call
usually want to remain anonymous, staff doesn't follow up with each person.
Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, also displayed a graph of the run up activity for October 1998. He
noterl that late night (between 10:30 and 12:00) run-ups are associated with early flights. (See
attachments.) -
5. MASAC 1998 - A Year in Review
2
�
October 27, 1998
Roy Fuhrmaru�, Technical Advisor, briefed the members on MASAC's major accomplishments and
activities during 1998. (See "MASAC 1998 - A Year in Review")
John Nelson, Bloomington, asked how this information should be communicated to the MAC
Commissioners. Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, said he hoped to brief the P&E Comrnittee in January
1999.
JOHN NELSON, BLOO�IINGTON, MOVED AND DICK KEINZ,1�1fAC, SECONDED, TO
ACCEPT THE REPORT AND TO HAVE STAFF BRIEF THE P&E COMNYITTEE ON
MASAC'S 1998 ACCOI�IPLISHMENTS, INCLUDING ITEMS NOT YET COMPLETED FROM
THE MASAC AUDIT.
1�` Quarter 1999 Goals and Objectives
The first quarter 1999 Operations Committee Goals and Objectives were presented to the council. Some
members questioned the need to include Investigating GPS and Evaluating the Ground Run-up Enclosure in
the first quarter. Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, and Chairman Johnson said there were a couple of
reasons, including:
➢ MAC's budget process begins in May. If funding is needed for either, evaluations need to be completed
as soon as possible. _
➢ Discussions regarding GPS specifications are,takix�g place at a national level and are moving quickly.
Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, said if MASAC wants to be involved in developing specifications
for GPS in regards to noise alleviatioq it will need to make decisions soon. Otherwise, the opportunity
will pass without MASAC's input.
➢ Both ofthese issues were placed on the 1998 Goals and Objectives schedule but had to be pushed
forward due to time constraints placed on the committee for the completion of other important goals.
JOHN NELSON, BLOOMINGTON, MOVED AND DICK SAUNDERS, MINNEAPOLIS,
SECONDED TO ADOPT THE OPERATIONS COIi�IMITTEE'S 1999 FIRST' QUARTER GOALS
AND OBJECTIVES AND TO INCLUDE THE DRAFT SCHEDULE IN THE PRESENTATIOlV
TO THE MAC PLAN1VIlVG AND ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE FOR THEIR REVIEW. THE
MOTION WAS PASSED WITH ONE PERSON OPPOSED.
John Nelson, Bloomington, encouraged MASAC members to submit ideas or suggestions to the Operations
Committee for their review and possible inclusion into the 1999 schedule.
7. Part 150 Program Pro�ress Review
Steve Vecchi, MAC Part 150 Manager, briefed the program's completion status. He said by the end of
1998, 4,583 homes will have been insulated, with 910 of those homes being completeri this year. He said
the cost of the program to date is $102.1 million. Mr. Vecchi then displayed a map of the 1996 contour,
which showed the homes that have been completed, deferred or are still to be insulated. He said from this
point on, the program will be entirely a south Minneapolis program. Mr. Vecchi then displayed a
breakdown of the number of homes that have been completed by city, as well as a breakdown of the costs
by each city.
October 2�, 1998 <
Mr. Vecchi then briefed the committee on the 1997 Homeowner Opinion Survey. He said the survey is �
slightly delayed due to the need to collect the surveys ai�er the construction has been completed. He said
303 of the 650 (4'7%) distributed surveys were completed and reiumed. He also said the survey sample
covered homes included in the January to August 1997 bid cycles.
After reviewing the various portions of the survey and comparing them to previous years, Mr. Vecchi said
the challenge for the program will be to maintain the high ratings while the prograrr� continues to change
and become more complex with the increasing size of the housing stock.
Some of the key discussion points of the survey were:
. The percentage of homeowners reporting an improvennent in home activities has remained constant
throughout the past 4 years.
. Whole house improvements��re being reported.
. Contractor performance is rated as�ither good or excellent 92% of the time. The remaining 8%, rated
at either poor or fair, are from a few homeowners and are directed mainly at a few contractors. There
are currently 7 contractors.
. Homeowners feel the market value of their home has increased due to the improvements.
. Consultant staff ratings remain consistently high. The question regarding the consultant's description
of the Part 150 Package is particularly important because of the increasing complexity of the plans.
Mr. Vecchi then briefed the committee on the past and projected future costs of the program. He said sta.f-�
projects the average construction cost per home in 1999 to be $32,100. He said with 2795 homes
remaining in the current program and with a budget of $25.5 million per yea.r, approximately 688 homes %
will be able to be completed per year. This will bring the completion date for the current program out to �,.
ea.rly 2003. Mr. Vecchi said the increase in the cost of construction is primarily due to the increase in the
size of the homes being insulated. He said it is also due to the fact that more homes have hydronic heat,
which means the cost of providing air conditioning increases.
Dean Lindberg, Minneapolis, asked how the Part 150 program is funded. Steve Vecchi, MAC, said the
lion's share of the fianding comes from Passenger Facility Charges (PFC's). He said although the MAC
applies for federal funding ea.ch year, it ends up only covering a small portion of the program's costs.
Someone also asked what happens once the current contour is completed in 2003. Steve Vecchi, MAC,
said the Part 150 Update (which is in the beginning stages) will include a new 2005 contour. Mr. Vecchi
said it is estimated that between 6,000 and �,000 more homes w�ill be included in the program at that time.
EIS Procedure Process
Glen Orcutt, FAA, reviewed the EIS Procedure process for the members: (See attachment.)
Mr. Orcutt explained that there are three entities that play different roles in the process. He said the three
roles are the sponsor, who in the case of MSP is MAC, the FAA, and the Public. Mr. Orcutt said a project
starts with the sponsor, who proposes a project, develops alternatives and prepares an environmental
assessment. He said the sponsor also needs to involve the public ea.rly in the planrung process and satisfy
state requirements. The sponsor will also provide additional data and information to the FA.A as needed.
4
October 27, 1998
The FAA, under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), is required to analyze the related
environmental impacts and to provide interested parties with an oppornuvty to participate in the review
process. The FAA can then either make a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) or a Record of
Decision (ROD). Mr. Orcutt noted that many factors go into either decision, including environmental
impacts, airport system capacity needs, public input, costs, engineering feasibility and airspace.
The public becomes involved by making comments at the appropriate stages in the decision making process
through informational and public meetings. He saicl the public is involved early in the process by providing
opportunities to review and comment on draft and final environmental dacuments. Mr. Orcutt said the
FAA isn`t required to agree with the public comments, but that the FAA is required to consider them all.
Mr. Orcutt said the decision to expand MSP at its current site represents a consensus or compromise. He
said that since there were so many stakeholders, not everyone got exactly what they wanted.
Mr. Orcutt said the FAA issued the ROD on September 23, 1998 and that the Environmental Quality
Board (EQB) deternuneii it was adequate on November 18, 1998.
Mr. Orcutt said the next step was to update the MSP Part 150 Program.
The question was asked how the FAA forecasts the number of operations. Mr. Orcutt said the FAA has a
forecasting office, which performs a long-term Terminal Area Forecast. He said this is done arumally and
is driven by economic factors and projected economic conditions and trends. He said since MSP is located
in an economy, the forecasted numbers of operations are higher than the national average.
! �) The question was also asked how the FAA responds to individual comments. Mr. Orcutt said the FAA
tries to respond to each person but that similar comments are sometimes grouped together and given a
general response. He said this part of the final document is sometimes very lengthy.
Neil Clark, Minneapolis, asketi how the cost benefit of building a new runway at MSP compares with other
airports. Mr. Orcutt said the cost benefit justification shows that the benefits are greater for Minneapolis
than for other airports.
Mark Ryan, MAC Planner, noted that it took the MAC, along with the FAA and the state, three years to
accomplish the EIS.

IVV9/A ENGIlVE TEST CELL BRIEFING
Chairman Salmen briefed the committee on NWA's Engine Test Cell. Mr. Salmen said he
had just received the prints with the specification data from the manufacturer and hadn't
had the time to review thern in great detait. He said the test cell meets the U.S. and
European standards for noise attenuation and had just undergone a multi-million dollar
upgrade, which improved the sound energy absorption capability of the test cell. He said he
didn't know if the data he had reflected this upgrade.
Mr. Salmen then described how the test cell was set up. (He said when they were available
he would bring the plans for the test cell to a meeting or set up a time for the committee
members to tour the facility.)
The foliowing is a summary of Mr. Salmen's information:
. The test cell is a room within a room where engines are mounted on a hard stand.
. An augmenting tube is set up to capture the exhaust and send it out through the end of
the test cell.
. The test cell is a 15-inch concrete structure. Twelve inches is the standard.
. The sound is vented through sound suppression panels. Any remaining sound is
vented straight up and outside.
. Noise levels have been checked at points on the perimeter of the airport while the test
cell was being used in the evening and there was no detectable noise above ambient
levels.
. The test cell has been operational for at least 20 years.
. The test cell is used on a 24-hour basis.
. Noise levels inside the test cell building are much louder than in either the control booth
or exterior to the test cell building.
Chairman Salmen said he would attempt to locate more information about the test cell and
visit the site before the next Operations Meeting.
Ma�{c Hinds, Richfield, said he had done some research on this subject and asked if
Chairman Salmen could obtain the Environmental Action Worksheet (EAV1� document for
the NWA engine maintenance facility at the Chisholm/Hibbing airport dated September 4,
1991. He said there was information regarding a test cell at that facility in this document.
C
Chairman Salmen said he would like to do a thorough investigation of the test cell �
operations before presenting it to the full MASAC body.
CORRESPONDEtVCE
Staff received a request from the City of Eagan for a temporary noise monitor to be placed
in the Valley View Plateau neighborhood of Eagan just south of the existing 65 L.dn contour
by the river. (See attachment.)
Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, said there were a couple of points to consider from the
staff s perspective. He said at this point, the existing ANOMS version does not have the
capability to correlate flight tracks with a mobile monitor. He said whatever the committee
decided to do, it would be best to wait until the new version of ANOMS was installed
sometime in February or March 1999.
Mr. Fuhrmann also requested that the city of Eagan complete a Noise Monitoring and
Information Request form so that the s#aff couki �bette� trac�C #i�e request. Mr. Fuhrmann
said this type of monitoring may be helpful when staff begins the Part 150 Update process.
Chairman Salmen said he felt that any monitoring completed for purposes of the Part 150
Update should be done with a systematic approach rather than trying to integrate
2 �'
unplanned or piecemeal monitoring activities into a cohesive whole. Chairman Salmen also
said he would like the city of Eagan to explain how their request would benefit the overall
! airport community. He said given next year's workload and priorities, it wasn't practical to
support actions for a specific neighborhood, unless it was beneficial for the airport
community at large. Chairman Salmen said he also agreed with Mr. Fuhrmann that if this
monitoring takes place, it should be after the ANOMS 6.3 upgrade.
Kevin Batchelder, Mendota Heights, said he thought Eagan's request was more
comprehensive and had more merit than an individual request for moniioring, such as was
requested at the November meeiing from Inver Grove Heights.
Mr. Batchelder also asked Jamie Veirbrugge, Eagan, if this request had grown out of a
concem about southem excursions outside the corridor. Mr. Verbrugge said that was one
of the reasons for the request but that it was also related to the "creeping" of the contour.
Mr. Batchelder noted that excursions to the south of the corridor were at less than 1% over
this past year and that most of the "violations" were to the north.
Mr. Batchelder then asked Mr. Fuhrmann if he thought it would be a good idea to submit
these "neighborhood" monitoring requests for the purposes of the Part 150 Update. Roy
Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, said each community has neighborhoods similar to the Valley
View Plateau areas. He said whai would be important when considering a monito�ing
request is whether or not conclusions could be drawn for other neighbofioods based on the
findings. He said, although there may be benefits with monitoring many neighborhoods, he
didn't think they would be able to perform monitoring at all the possible sites.
Jamie Verbrugge, Eagan, suggested these types of monitoring projects be done over a
couple of years.
Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, said it would also be important to take into account
wind/seasonal differences when performing monitoring activities.
Mayor Mertensotto, Mendota Heights, said he felt thera was a problem with Part 150
insulation monies being tied up until 2003, which is when insulation within the current
contour is estimated to be completed. He said the average citizen finds it difficult to
understand why the program is prioritized out so far. He said he felt Part 150 priorities
should be generated on a yearly basis based on current conditions.
Jamie Verbrugge, Eagan, said it would make more sense to incorporate that type of change
into the Part 150 Update rather than suddenly changing the process at this time.
Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, said there would be more flexibility to make those types
of changes for a Part 150 Update. He noted that most of the cities have been completed
and Minneapolis is now receiving the bulk of the insulation. He said cities that have been
completed out ta the Ldn 65 had the benefit of being finished early. He said he thought the
city of Minneapolis would argue strongly that the 65 Ldn contour needed to be completed
first before reprioritizing. N9ayor Mertensotto, Mendota Heights, said it was difficult to
explain this type of prioritizing because it seemed to be based more on politics than on
3
current operational conditions.
Dick Keinz, MAC, said it may need to be stated differently. He said although Mendota
Heights and other cites have had all of their eligible residential sound proofing completed,
we are still completing the south Minneapolis portion, which has a lot of residents still in the
65 Ldn contour and it is going to take us until 2003. After that point, we will take it out to the
60 Ldn and everyone will have some eligibility coming to them. Rather than saying the
monies are committed to 2003, the benefit to Mendota Heights residents is that they had
their eligible areas sound-proofed years before south Minneapolis.
Jamie Verbrugge, Eagan, asked if the new Remote Monitoring Towers (RMTs) would be
installed after the ANOMS 6.3 version was operational. Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor,
said that was correct. He said the RMT specifications will specify that they need to be
compliant with ANOMS version 6.3. Mr. Fuhrmann said he thought the RMTs would be
installed sometime in April or May.
Kevin Batchelder, Mendota Heights, asked whether or not an RMT location had been
chosen in Inver Grove Heights. Chad Leqve, MAC Advisory, said he would be meeting with
Inver Grove Heights representatives the following week to finalize the site. Mr. Batchelder
said he was concemed about the final selection for the site being positioned outside the
identified area.
Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, noted the three locations identified by Inver Grove
Heights and said staff was working with the city on the Argenta Trail location.
John Nelson, Bloomington, said the intention of his motion at the last meeting was to have
staff look at the Argenta Trail location identified by Inver Grove Heights and was concemed
that this part of his motion was not included in the minutes. Chairman Salmen asked if Mr.
Nelson would like the minutes amended. Mr. Nelson said that was not necessary.
Chairman Salmen said he would like to have it clarified and asked the secretary to review
the tape of the meeting for verification.
(The secretary reviewed the tape and found that Mr. Nelson did indeed specify Inver Grove
Heights' number one site (6350 Argenta Trail) as the location for discussion.)
Mr. Nelson said it was his intention that discussions regarding the Inver Grove Heights site
be focused on the Argenta Trail location. Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, said staff
would make that clear to the Inver Grove Heights representatives.
Chairman Salmen wrapped up the discussion regarding Eagan's request. He asked Jamie
Verbrugge to fill out the Information and Monitoring Request form for consideration at the
next Operations Committee meeting. He said at that time, the members would decide
whether or not the request should be fulfilled.
John Nelson, Bloomington, asked that a letter to be sent to the City of Eagan
acknowledging receipt of the request and explaining its status with the committee.
4 �.
9999 GOALS .4ND OBJECTIVES D/SCUSSION
�'� Roy Fuhrmann, Technicai Advisor, displayed an ovefiead of the draft schedule. He noted
that the first quarter schedule had been approved by MASAC and that 2"d through 4`n
� quarters needed to be filled in. � �
Mr. Fuhrmann noted that Minneapolis' list of recommendations were included on the front of
the memo, as weil as the addition of the Part 150 Update process. Mr. Fuhrmann
encouraged the members to leave some time open on the schedule so that staff and
MASAC will have time to par�ticipate in the Part 150 Update process.
Kevin Batchelder, Mendota Heights, asked about the time frame for the Part 150 Update.
Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, said there hadn't been an initial meeting yet and was
unsure of the overall time frame. Mr. Fuhrmann recommended that a validation of the
Integrated Noise Model (INM) using ANOMS be completed as part of the process. Mr.
Batchelder noted that the Noise Mitigation Committee had recommended this action and
that the communities would appreciate that effo�t, as well.
John Nelson, Bloomington, asked if a formal decision had been made to proceed with a
Part 150 Update. Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, said Nigel Finney, MAC Deputy
Executive Director, briefed the P8�E Committee about beginning a Part 150 Update and
recommended that MAC consultants, HNTB and HMMH, head up the study.
KEVIN BATCHELDER, MEYVDOTA HEIGHTS, MO!/ED AND JOHN NELSON,
BLOOMINGiQIV, SECOIVDED TO HAVE STAFF GIVE MONTHLY PROGRESS
REPORTS, BEGIfVNtNG IN JANUARY 1999, OPV THE PART 150 UPDATE (INCLUDIIVG
i l CONTOUR GENERATIOf� AND THE LOW FREQUENCY NOISE STUDY), AS
APPROPRIATE. AND THAT THE COMMITTEE DISCUS� HOW ANOMS DATA CAN BE
INCORPORATED INTO THE NEW COIVTOUR PRIOR TO IT BEING GENERATED. THE
VOTE WAS UIVAIVINIOUS. MOTION APPROVED.
John Nelson, Bloomington, asked if the commitfee would be able=to ce�rioritize o� add items
to the work pla�- if'necessary throughout the year. Chairman Salmen said there would be
no problem with adding or reprioritizing items, but items should not be deleted entirely from
the 1999 work plan.
John Nelson, Bloomington, said he felt that a low frequency noise study should be
conducted, as part of the Part 150 Update study, and that mitigation should only be
supported if the study supports it.
Jamie Verbrugge, Eagan, asked if a low frequency noise study would be funded with Part
150 monies. Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, said because tfiere were very few federal
dollars available for Part 150 mitigation, the majority of MSP's Pa�# 150 Program is funded
by Passenger Facility Charges (PFCs). He said, because of this, funds for a low frequency
noisE study would not come frarn federal monies, but that the FAA would most likely have to
approve the use of PFCs and that the airport would set the level.
�
John Nelson, Bloomington, said since a Part 150 Update Study would have to be funded,
the low frequency noise study, as part of this process, would also be funded. He said
regardless of whether or not there is outside funding approval, the issue needs to be
addressed.
The committee then moved on to discuss the issue of health effects of aircraft generated
noise.
John Nelson, Bloomington, said, although the Operations Committee could not take up a
health study, he feels strongly that MASAC needs to have an orientation presentation on
the health effects of aircraft noise. Mr. Nelson suggested that this orientation be given at
the June 22, 1999 MASAC meeting. --
The following is a summary of the ensuing discussion:
. The purpose of the orientation is to give MASAC members a better understanding of the
issue in an impartial manner.
. The presentation is for informational purposes only. Any action taken by MASAC will
be based on a discussion of the information provided.
. The issue is a MASAC issue rather than an Operations Committee issue.
. Staff, along with members of the committee, will research the literature and the
possibility of retaining an expert speaker(s) for this type of presentation and report back
to the Committee at the January 1999 Operations meeting.
. Because MASAC is a sound abatement council, the presentation will focus on the
health effects of aircraft noise rather than on a broad discussion of airport �elated health
effects.
John Nelson, Bloomington, asked if the additional RMTs would be installed by May 25,
1999. Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, said he did not know if it would be possible, but
that it could be a goal. He said a more in depth time schedule needs to be developed first,
but that staff hoped for an April or May installation.
John Nelson, Bloomington, said he thought the Operations Committee should receive a
briefing on the ANOMS 6.3 configuration once it is installed. .
Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, suggested, due to the installation of ANOMS 6.3, that a
review of the Technical Advisor's Report and other reporting procedures be included for the
July 9, 1999 Operations Committee meeting. John Nelson, Bloomington, agreed and said
he thought an investigation of this type should be undertaken every 3 to 5 years.
The remainder of the work plan will be established at the January 1999 meeting. Staff will
update the calendar for the next meeting, as well.
The meeting was adjoumed at 11:50 a.m.

The Eagan City Councii, at the recommendation of the Airport Relations Commission,
recently approved a request to have the Metropolitan Airports Commission place a
temporary noise monitor in the Valley View Plateau neighborhood of Eagan.
There are several factors that warrant the coliection of noise data in tnis area:
The Vailey View Plateau's unique topography and its proximity to the airport may
expose it to levels of noise that are not accurately modeled by standard noise
modeling techniques.
The area is among the most close-in neighborhoods to the airport that is not
currently served by an ANOMS tower.
The importance of the Eagan/Mendota Heights corridor to the future of the operation
of the airport suggests that the residential areas adjacent to it be adequately served
in terms of noise mitigation and noise measurement opportunities.
These factors ail take on heightened significance in light of the November 12, 1998,
letter from FAA Program Manager Gordon Nelson denying your request of May 22,
1998, to inciude Valley View Plateau as an eligible item forAlP/PFC funding. Placing a
temporary noise monitor in this neighborhood shouid provide valuable information for an
update to the Part 150 study.
Understanding that the collection of reliable information requires an extended period of
time, the City Council and Airport Relations Commission recommend the temporary
noise monitor be located in the Valley View Plateau for a period of no fewer than 60
days. Thank you for your efforts to help the Eagan community address this significant
issue.
Sincerely,

MASAC & Operations Committee Work Plan for 1999
December 4, 1998
�
At the December 1, 1998 MASAC meeting the members approved the below completed partion of the
MASAC Goals and Objectives Calendar for 1999 and forwarded a recommendation to the NIASAC
Operations committee to move forth and complete the calendar for 1999. As a result, at the December
11, 1998 MASAC Operations Committee meeting, the prioritization process will continue. It is
anticipated this prioritization effort will act as a catalyst for the finalization of the MASAC Goals and
Objectives Calendar in January for approval at the January 26, 1999 MASAC meeting.
As the prioritization process continues it is important to keep in mind topics previously brought to the
Operations Committee, they are as follows:
�
'�.
'�-
�
Begin ground leveUlow frequency noise studies for all communities.
Begin the process of a PA.RT 150 update.
Discuss how noise level data from ANOMS can be incorporated into PART
150 contour generation.
Seek MASAC's support for a public health study to be conducted by the
appropriate state agency to research the long-term health effects of noise on
humans, especially on senior citizens and children.
'�- Implement the Noise Reduction Plan outlined in the 1996 Noise Mitigation
Recommendations.
'�- Increase the credibility and value of the Noise Complaint and Information
Line.
'�- Review how information and how much information is distributed to
MASAC members.
`�- Produce a quarterly report for distribution to other bodies and to be made
available to the public.
The above information in conjunction with additional input from the Committee members will aid in
the effective and suitable prioritization and completion of the MASAC Goals and Objectives Calendar
for 1999.

AGENDA
Chairperson Salmen introduced Jim Kiewski, an intem for Northwest Airiines.
Chairperson Salmen informed the committee members that the City of Richfield has sent a
letter to Chairperson Johnson requesting membership on the MASAC Operations
Committee. Chairperson Salmen said the request would be addressed after the chairperson
elections in January. It was noted that the bylaws do not address the appointment of
members to the Operations Committee, but that the chairperson has appointed the
members in the past. It was also noted that although membership on the committee gives a
community voting privileges, the Operations Committee meetings are open and anyone is
allowed to speak.
C
1999 GtJALS AND OBJECTIVES DISCUSSION
Roy Fuhrrnann, Technicai Advisor, briefed the committee on the draft Operations
Committee schedule for '1999. He noted that much of what is to be covered in the Part 150
Update Study mirrors what the Operations Committee is aiready woricing toward. He said
those issues being covered in the Part 150 Update Study are underlined in the memo. He
said he felt it was impo�tant that the Operations Committee act as an advisory body to the
Part 150 consuitant team and that the Committee wiil have the chance to comment on the
Part 150 Update Study items throughout the updating process.
Mr. Fuhrmann then noted the change in the February MASAC meeting schedule. He said
the trip to the FAA's Farmington Center has been postponed until later in the year and that
a Part 150 Update Session has been added to the February meeting in order for MASAC to
address the issues included in the Update.
KEViN BATCHELDER, lV1ENDOTA HEIGHTS, �OV`D AND H�5 ,;��-1N�C�1, Illl� ;r+,
SECONDED TO ACCEPT THE SCHEDULE CHANGE. THE VOTE WAS UNANIMOUS.
MOTION CARRIED.
A discussion regarding the agreement between the City of Richfield and the Metropolitan
Airports Commission ensued. The foilowing points were made:
➢ Chairperson Salmen said he felt it was a great oversight that a MASAC representative
had not been appointed to the �ow Frequency Noise Policy Committee.
➢ Dick Keinz, MAC, suggested that MASAC write a letter to the Commission in regards to
having a MASAC member be part of the committee.
� Bob Johnson, MBAA, said he had spoke to Jeff Hamiei, Executive Director of MAC,
twice about representation on the committee but that it had not resulted in any action.
� Kevin Batchelder, Mendota Heights, noted that the Operatians Committee had deferred
the City of Richfieid's request regarding low frequency noise untii the issue had been
resolved at a higher level. He said now that an agreement had been reached, he felt
MASAC should be involved and not passed over.
� Mayor Charles Mertensotto, Mendota Heights, suggested that a letter be sent to MAC's
Chairman requesting that, for continuity's sake, Bob Johnson, MASAC Chair be
appointed to the committee and Mark Salmen, MASAC Operations Chair be appointed
as an altemate to the Low Frequency Noise Policy Committee.
➢ Mark Hinds, Richfield, said he wasn't sure the agreement provided the opportunity to
add representatives to the task force. He said it might be more appropriate to request to
be an observer rather than a member.
2
➢ Jamie Verbrugge, Eagan, had a copy or the agreement and read it aloud. The task
force includes representatives from Minneapolis, Richfield, Bioomingtan, MAC, the
Metropolitan Councii, and the FAA. Two consultants have already besn chosen, with a
third consuitant to be chosen by the first two. Mr. Verbrugge said he was also unsure
whether or not the membership of the task force could be overridden. He said at the
very least, MASAC should know when the meetings are to be held and have the
MASAC chairperson, Bob Johnson, attend.
➢ It was noted that the agreement did not prohibit adding representatives to the task force
and that MASAC could be considered an extension of the MAC.
➢ Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, said it might be more appropriate to send the letter to
the committee rather than to the MAC Chairman, or possibly to Commissioner Himle.
r John Nelson, Bloomington, said he felt MASAC deserved to be shown respect for their
role in airpo�t noise mitigation and should be included on the committee.

REQUEST THAT BOB JOHIVSON, MASAC CHAIR AND MARK SALMEN, MASAC
OPERATIONS COMMITTEE CHAIR, BE APPOINTED TO THE LOW FREQUENCY NOISE
POLICY COMMITTEE AS METVI6ER AND ALTERNATE, RESPECTIVELY. THE VOTE
WAS UNANIMOUS. MOTION CARRIED.
Bob Johnson, MBAA, asked Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, if a schedule or a deadline
had been set for the Part 150 Update Study. Mr. Fuhrmann said planning was still in the
eariy stages, but that a more complete schedule would be available in Febn.tary.
John Nelson, Bloomington, referring to the last item on the memo, said he thought it might
be a good idea to form an ad hoc committee to study the possibility of producing a quarterly
report. He said he didn't believe it belonged in the Operations Committee schedule.
Dick Saunders, Minneapolis, suggested having the E�cecutive Committee form a separate
committee to examine the possibility. He said it would also lessen the staffs workload.
Charles Mertensotto, Mendota Heights,r said this type of report could be as sirnple as an
activity repo�t and that it would keep MASAC accountable.
Bob Johnson, MBAA, reminded the comrnittee that it was also inciuded as a
recommendation in the Padilla, Speer, Beardsley report.

NWA ENGINE TEST CELL ADDlT10NAL 1NFORl�9,4TlON
Mark Saimen, NWA, dispiayed additional information regarding NWA's engine test ceii,
including blueprints of the maintenance hangar and the test ceil room itself.
Mr. Salmen noted that the test cell's wails have 15" of concrete insulation, rather than the
standard 12". He said it is noisiest near the doors of the test celi room. He said much of
the noise is absorbed by the blast baskets above the test cell befween the outside and the
test celL
Mr. Saimen said very little noise can be heard from the test cell at 250 feet outside the
perimeter of the buiiding.
Kevin Batchelder; Mendota Heights, said if the noise peopie are hearing is not coming from
the test ceil, MASAC should identify what is causing the noise. Mark Salmen, NWA, said he
thought it was most likely the noise generated during breakaway thrust when aircraft power
up and then down in a long queuing taxi line. Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, reminded
the members that the Ground Noise Monitoring Study found that much of the ground noise
experienced at the airport is from aircraft operations rather than fixed source points.
John Neison, Bloomington, suggested that future ground noise complaints might be
correlated with the various ground noise sources, such as run ups, test celis, and airport
operations, in order to find out what might be causing the noise. Ne said unless there are
further requests for more information regarding the test cell, he felt this issue could be
brought to closure. Charles Mertensotto, Mendata Heights, said he felt peopie wouldn't be
satisfied unless monitoring has been done.
Mark Salmen, NWA, said ,he was able to locate the Environmental Assessment Worksheet
cornpleted for the Hibbing airport test cell, which had not been built. He said the worksheet
references Minneapolis' test cell before it was upgraded. He noted that monitoring done at
MSP showed, at a quarter of a mile, the sound generated from the test ce�l would be 49.6
d BA.
Bob Johnson, MBAA, also noted that the test ceil heips eliminate run-ups on the fieid by
providing a way for the airiine to test its engines inside.
INVESTIG,4TlNG GPS SPECIFICATIONS F�R NOISE ALLEVIATION
Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, briefed the Commitkee on the Background, Opportunities
and Industry Trends for DGPS at MSP (see attachment for detaiis). Mr. Fuhrmann noted
�
that MSP participated in the Govemment and Industry Partnership (GIP) program, along
with Honeywell and 13 other airpo�ts. He also noted that some airlines were integrating
GPS technology quicker than others.
Mr. Fuhrmann then reviewed in detail the six identified areas for a Requirements
Assessment, including:
. Define Noise Impacts
. Evaluate Land Use Compatibilities
. Define Airspace Challenges
. Review Approach Procedures
. Analyze Airport Infrastructure
. Assess Airport User Requirements
Mr. Fuhrmann also noted that:
a An Inventory/Review of E�cisting Noise Abatement Policies is already being done
through the Part 150 Update Study.
a Integrating DGPS wit� tne Part 150 Noise Campatibility Plan will be �� eaking �ew
ground.
Mr. Fuhrmann estimated that an assessment will take at least 6 to 8 months.
Committee members added these suggestions:
. Continue to be mindful of the corridor and how departure headings are implemented.
. Explore the possibility of steeper glide scopes.
m F�cplore the possibilities of having departures follow geophysical features.
a Explore how GPS could assist in NADP procedures.
. E�cplore how GPS could assist with straight out departures.
e Explore the possibifity of curved approaches.
m Explore the possible impediments to universal use of GPS technology as the sole
source of navigation.
Mark Salmen, NWA, asked how the Letters of Agreement between the local FAA and the
airiines will be affected. He noted that some of the agreements are very old.
Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, said dealing with the FAA in this matter will be like
exploring "uncharted waters." He said although some of the current procedures are very
old, he felt GPS would eventually become the sole source for aircraft navigation. He said
there will have to be broad, sweeping changes in order for this to happen, though.
JOHN NEL.SON, BLOONIINGTON, 1kiOVED AND JAM1E VERBRUGGE, EAGAN,
SECONDED TO ACCEPT THE SPECIFICATIONS FOR AN AIRPORT SYSTEM DGPS
REQUIREMENTS ASSESSMENT AND TO FORWARD 1T TO THE FULL MASAC BODY.
THE VOTE WAS UNANIMOUS. MOTION CARRIED.
E
GROUND RUN UP ENCLOSURE EVALUATION/BENEFIT CRITERIA
Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, recapped the Ground Run Up Enclosure information
presented at a previous Operations Committee meeting. Mr. Fuhrmann aiso briefed the
members about the GRE at Chicago/O'Hare airport. He said the GRE is three-sided, has a
roiled top, and has sianted and vented walls. He said 70% of the run ups at this airport are
performed there and that there is only one aircraft heading.
Some other facts include:
➢ Over 700 run ups are performed per year at the airport.
➢ 2000 people are affected by run up noise.
➢ A majority of the run ups are performed at night.
➢ The GRE cost $3.1 million to instail.
➢ Aii commercial aircraft are able to use the GRE.
➢ The airport was able to obtain a 20-decibei reduction at 2 miles with ihe GRE.
Mr. Fuhrmann reported that 96% of the run ups per�o�ed bctweEn January a��d July 1998
had taken place at the run up pad at MSP. Only 3.4% were performed at the runway 22
site. During this time, � 068 run ups were performed, including both propeller and jet
engine aircraft.
Mr. Fuhrmann then asked members to brainstorm possibie evaluation/benefit criteria. The
foliowing suggestions were given:
� A 20-decibel reduction at 2 miles shouid be realized. The installation company would
be responsible for verifying this criteria.
➢ The number of people impacted by run up noise should be reduced (reduce contours).
r The installation of a GRE must not deter airiines from using the enclosure.
� The current fleet mix must be able to utilize the GRE.
�- An evaluation of the best orientation of the enclosure shouid be- performed.
➢ Maintain existing blast fences if at all possible.
➢ Surveiliance capabilities should be continued.
Charles Mertensotto, Mendota Heights, said it was important to establish what the existing
.. conditions are before determining whether or not a GRE should be pursued or how the
specifications shouid be written.
Dick Saunders, Minneapolis, suggested examining Chicago's Request for Proposal (RFP) in
more detail. Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, said he would obtain a copy.
OTHER
Dick Saunders, Minneapolis, reporked that at an 86% Stage III aircraft fleet mix, Stage li
aircraft still account for 50% of the noise energy generated at an airport. He said once
airiines meet and exceed the 86% Stage III fleet mix, the benefits of Stage lll aircraft will
�
C
become more noticeable. Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, said that percentage should
be reached at MSP sometime in the fali af 1999.
The meeting was adjoumed at 12:45 p.m.

Volume 11, Number 1
Stage 2 Phasout
FXVE CARRIERS FILE REQUESTS WIT'H FA�
FOJEZ WAIVERS FROM PHASEOUT DEADLINE
Six airlines, including the third largest cargo camer, ABX Air, filed petitions
�vith the Federal Aviation Administration at the end of December seeking permis-
sion to operate Stage 2 aircraft beyond the end of 1999 final deadline for phasina
out Staae 2 aircraft from the U.S. fleet.
Several of these petitions were filed as precautionary measures by airlines that
have firm orders for hush kits but fear unandcipated problems may cause delays in
installing the kits. `
In addition, two Hawaiian cairiers, the Air Transport Association, and the CarQo
Airline Association filed peticions askin� the FAA to clarify ats policy on allowina
Sta�e 2 aircraft to fly back to the U.S. mainland for maintenance operations after
the final phaseout deadline and to conduct non-revenue fli�hts to ferry Staae 2
planes to seII or relocate them. (5ee related story).
The Airport Noise and Capacity Act of 1990 (ANCA) authorizes the Secretary of
Transportation to grant waivers from the deadline for phasin� out StaQe 2 aircraft
if it �vould be in the public Snterest to do so. The waivers can apply to up to 15
percent of a carrier's fleet and can extend through the end of 2d03. Conditions to
the grant of a waiver are that the requests must be filed by Jan. 1, 1999, and that a
carrier must acheive 8� percent 5tage 3 compliance by July 1, 1999.

C)PERAT�OI�S A7C ][�IGH DE�SITY AI�PiJRTS
Undaunted by the failure of controversial leaislation he introduced in the last
session of ConQress that would have increased [he number of operations at the four
so-called HiQh Density Airports (Chica�o 0'Hare International, ReaQan National,
Newark International, and 7ohn F. Kennedy International), Sen. John ivicCain (R-
AZ), chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee, reintroduced the bill Jan. 16.
The new lesislation, the Air Transportation Improvement Act (S. 82), tivould
reauthorize the Federa] Aviation Administration and tne federal airport srant

The Federal Aviation Adminis[ration said that it �vill not
act on the waiver requests i[ has received un:il July i'
because only then will it know if the 8� perceni StaQe 3 fleet
requirement is met.
ABX Aiz-, Inc. ,
ABX Air, Inc., the airline subsidiary of Airborne Freigh[
Corp., �vhich collectively trade at Air6orne Express, asked
the FAA for a waiver to operate up to five DC-8-61 aircraft
throuQh the year 2000 or until the aireraft are replaced with
StaQe 3 B-767 aircraft on a one-for-one basis, whichever
comes first.
ABX said it has placed a non-refundable deposit of �5
miliion with "a large aireraft lessor/owner," which it did not
name, for the purchase of five B-767-200 aircraft. But these
aircraft are in passen�er confijuration and must be modified
• to an all-cargo confaguration before they can be used by
.ABX. The modification procedure takes approximately 120
days to complete if no complications occur. "Based on the"
scheduled dates of delivery and the time required to convert
a B-767 aircraft, ABX projects that all five aircraft will ao
online in the year 2000," the company said. It did not
explain to the FAA why it had not planned to brinQ its fleet
into compliance with ANCA prior to the end of 1999, as
required by the law.
The cargo carrier ar�ued that it would be in the public
interest for the FAA to D ant it a waiver, notina ihat it
worked "diligently" to help pass ANCA, has had an
"unwavering" commitment to the�phaseout, has already
expended over $200 million to convert its fleet, and that the
Sta�e 2 operations beyond 1999 would be limited,
The carrier contended that noise-sensitive airports that
wished to protect themselves from�Staae 2 aircraft that arz
granted waivers by the FAA. were free to adopt airport noise
rules under ANCA barring such aircraft. However, it is
hi�hly unlikely that any such rule would be adoptzd in time
to bar ABX's Stage 2 aircraft.
The airline also told the FAA that it should consider the
issue of freiQhter aircraft capacity in decidin� whether to
provide waivers for St�ge 2 aircraft. "ABX belieyes that
. many al]-cargo aircraft will not be converted [so] [hat the
capacity of the domestic freiahter fleet will decline after the
final compliance deadline," the camer said. Such a shortage
in aircraft, i[ ar�ued, would produce earoo rate increases that
�vill have to be borne by the shipping public.
The airline also argued that the loss of its five DGS-61s
tivould have an impac[ on carQo rates. "Without the benefit
of continued �rotvth in capacity, Airborne Express may not
be capable of beinQ as aagressive as it has been in the past
in offering corporate and other large shippers the benefit of
its lower cost of doinQ business (e.�., lower freight rates).
Likewise, FedEx and UPS �vill not be under the same de�ree
oFcompetition pressure generaiJy exerted by r�irborne
Express on the inclustry, if AB1 is deprived oF the use of the '
tive DG8-61 aircraft after Dec. 3l, 1999." ABX reminded
the fiAA that "by statute, this competition related factor
�irport Noise Report
must be considered by the FAA in renderinR its judgment on
[his waiver application." �
Kitty Hatii�k Aircargo
Kitty Hativk Aircar�o, Inc., an all-carao air carrier cur-
rently operatin� 31 8-727, five DC-9, and seven Convair
aircraft, filed tivhat it called a"precautionary" request to
operate up to five Sta�e 2 aircraft "antii such time that the
conditions preventinQ compliance are overcome, and the
aircraft can be made compIiant." The carrier said it does not
anticipate that such a period would extend beyond the
middle of 2001.
The airline stressed that it has entered into firm contracts
with aircraft suppliers and hush I:it manufacturers to ensure
compliance with the Dec. 31, 1999, deadline for retirin�
Sta�e 2 aiccraft. "Hotivever, despite the best laid plans of
Kitty Ha�vk Aircargo, one of its aircraft lessors or hush kit
manufacturers under contract to the lessors or Kitty Hawk
Aircargo could fail to meet their delivery obligations
(throuDh no fault of Kitry Hawk Aircargo) and thus prevent
the entire Kitty Hawk fleet from being compliant on the day
of the final ANCA phaseout deadline," the company told the
FAA.
Therefore; "as a precautionary matter," the airline asked
for a waiver to operate up to 15 percen[ of its fleet (five
aircraft) beyond the end of the year. "Grant of this request
will be in the public interest as it will ensure preservation of
competition in the all-cargo indushy in the year�2000 when
frei�hter capacity may be in short supply due to carrier
compliance �vith the Sta?e 2 phaseout schedule," the
company told the EA.A.
il�idwest Express AirIines
Midwest Express Airlines, Inc, also filed a"precautionary
waiver" requestina permission to operate no more than four
StaQe 2 DC-9 aircraft beyond the final phaseout date of Dec.
31, 1999.
Midwest Express is a passenQer air cairier, classified as a
national carrier, with a current fleet of 24 DG9 and three .
NID-30 aircrait. From its principal hub in Milwaukee, i�VI,
and its second�y base in Omaha, NE, the airline and its
commuter aiiliate, Sky�vay Airlines, provides service to 41
citizs and 23 siates and Toronto, Canada. "Importantly," the
airline told the FAA, it "offers the only non-stop service in
80 percent of the non-seasonal markets served by it
1�•iidwest Express links i1�lilwaukee and Omaha with the
important population centers on both coasts and, in so
doinQ, provides significant service opportunities that would
not othertvise be provided."
The airline told the Fr�1 that it has firm orders with ABS
Partnership to hushl:Ct its six remaininQ Staae 2 DG9
aircraft and anticipatzs that this will be done by the end of
1999. However, the airline said that it must depend on the
ability of o[her companies to achieve this result. "Therefore,
solely as a precautionary measure, and �vith no intend to
delay full compliance" �vith the phaseout requirement,
,�irpott yois� Rzport
Januar�c� ?2, 1999
IvSidwest Express requested a waiver for up to four aircraft.
"When Congress passed ANCA which manda[ed a
uniform, national aircraft noise policy, it expressly provided
for the possibility that carriers, for reasons both lvithin and
beyond their control, may not tae able to meet the fina] StaQe
2 phaseout compliance deadline of Dec. 31, 1999," the v
airline told the FAA.
The company argued the loss of even one aircraft from
service would hurt the company financially and iis ability to
expand service and also would ne�atively impact the
traveling public "which would have to rely to a�reater
degree on either multi-stop or, more likely, connectinQ
service via a major hub airport dominated by one or more of
the major carriers." Midwest said it seeks to avoid this
situation, adding "so should the FAA in the interest of
ensurin� a fully competitive air transport system"
Transco�atinental Airlines
Transcontinental Airlines, Inc. submitted an application
seekin� a limited waiver to pernnit operation of up to three
Stage 2 aircraft (a DC-8-54, -55, and -61) until Dec. 31,
2003, or until the aircraft covered by the application have
been brought into compliance with Sta�e 3 noise cer[ifica-
tion levels, whichever occurs first.
TransCon is certificated by the FAA to operate domestic
scheduled and charter and foreign charter air transportation
of property and mail. It is considered a new entrant for
purposes of the Staje 2 phaseout requirements. At the end
of 1998, TransCon's fleet consistezl of seven aircraft: four
Sta�e 3 and three Stage 2 aircraft. �
While the airline plans to retrofit its one remainin� Sta�e 2
DC-8-62 aircraft durin� 1999, it told the FAA "it is ]ikely
that it will be impossible" for it to ret�ofit its DGS-54, -5�,
and -bl by. the end of the year. "As the FAA is a�vare,"
TransCon said; "no hush kit or other noise suppression
technolo�y for these models of aizcraft is commercially
available at this time."
The carrier said that Qoiet Technolo�y Venturz has
received certification for a hush kit for such DC-3 aizcraft,
but the first kits will be go to Fine Air, a partner in the hush
kit venture. Quiet Technolo�y cannot provide assurances
that its l:its wil] be available before the end of ]999.
Also, Burbank Aeronautical Corp. currently is �vor};inQ on
certification of hush l:its for these DC-8 models but the
company estimates its certification will not be achieved
before the sprina of 1999, "]eavinQ it doubtfi�l that ��ery
many of these l:its can be instaIled prior to the end of [hat
year," TransCon told the F_�A.
"TransCon is follo�ving the projress of these t�vo pro-
�rams, and expects to enter into a firm contract for hushkit-
tine its S[aae 2 DG$-50 and -61 series aircraft b�� the
rniddle oi [ 1999], when hopefully, it will be clearer which
proaram presents the better option for [he c�mpunv. It
�vould not be feasible or commercially wise for TransCon to
comrnit itseli contractuaily at this point to either one of ,
these pro�rams, given the uncertainties a[tendant ro ttoth �f
3
[hem," the carrier told the FAt1.
The airline contended it would be in the public interest for
the F,�iA to grant the waiver.
Casino Express Airlines
TEM Enterprises, doinQ business as Casino Express
Airlines, Inc., petitioned the FAA to operate one B-737-200
aicraft beyond the final phaseout deadline because the
company does not know at this time whether it will be
financially able to finance a hush kit for the plane.
1fie carrier said it may need to continue operating one
Sta�e 2 aircraft "for a short time in 2000 until it can be
replaced or retrofitted."
Casino is a new entrant carrier with�a fleet at the end of
1993 consisting of two B-737-200 aircraft_ One has already
been hushl:itted by Av Aero. However, the company told
the FAA that it may acquire some additional B-737-200
aircraft in 1999, all of which would be eompliant with Sta�e
3 noise standards.
"Because Casino Express is a small carrier, with a very
small fleet, it must choose its fleet manajement options very
carefully," the company said. However, the airline argued
that it "fulfills an important role" in providin� service to
small communities (it provides the only airline service to .
Elko, NE, its home base) and in brin�in� approximately
110,000 people a year to Elko, primarily to gamble.
The airline — with its fleet of two aircraft — told the FAA -
that it is one of the niajor employers in the community of
�0,000 and "thus fills a seriously needed role in the eco-
nomic life of the community, which has been hard hit by
closures and layoffs at many area gold mines, the main
source of employment in the region." Casino Express
asserted that to impair its ability to continue service to Elko
"would cause si�nificant economic disruption to the
community."d �
LP;islalzon, from p. 1
to do with safery, callin� them "archaic, government-
imposed fliQht limi[ation" in remarks made Jan. 2Q at a
hearinQ on his bill.
The disaoreement in the ]ast Con�-ress between the House
and Senate on the FAA reauthorization bill resulted in only
a six-month extension of the FAA's prog-rams, which runs
out on l�iarch 31. And the House and Senate already appear
to be on a collision co�rse this session. IYIcCain wants his
bill passed by the end of Nlarch and has already heid a
hearina on it. Ho�vever, the House Committee on Transpor-
tation and Infrastructure, chaired by Rep. Bud Shuster (R-
P,A), wants to slo�v thinQs down. The committee unani-
mously aporoved legislation Jan. 7 that would extend the
Airport improvement Prosram for the remainder of the
fiscal ye�r (to Sept. 30). "If this is to be the year of aviation,
we need sufticient time to craft solid leaislation that is �oina
to provide the American peop]e �vith safe and reliable air
service," Shuster said. "By extendina [the AIP pro�ram]
throuQh the end oi the fiscal year, we will have ample time
Airpor \oiie P.eport
4
to draft a Cood bill."
The House bill would allow the full $1.95 biilion allowed
by the obliQation ceilinQ to be spent on airport improve-
ments through the end of fiscal 1999. l�IcCain's biIl would
au[horize the federal airport orant program at $2.41 6illion
for fiscal year 1999 and $2.475 billion for fiscal year 2000.
At the hearinQ on McCain's bill, David Traynham, FA.A's
assistant administrator for policy, plannin�, and interna-
tional avia[ion, said the Clinton Adminis[ration currently is
developing its own FAA reauthorization proposal and
expects to issue it soon. Traynham said the FAA feels that
McCain's bill "would make sijnificant improvements in the
FAA."
Aim Is to Enhance Competition
In introducing his legislation, McCain said that his
committee and the Senate "recognized the importance of
removinQ barriers to competition in our nation's aviation
industry last year with votes of overwhelmin'support for
this leaislation. I expect the same to occur this year because
it is impor[ant to our economy and to the future of the
industry. One just needs to look at hotiv last year's North-
tivest Airlines strike crippled an entire region of our country.
We must give new carriers the opporiunity to c�mplete with
the major airlines".
McCain said his bill would enhance competition in the
aviation industry in three ways
• It would require the Secretary of Transportation to
provide 30 slot exemptions (which means 30 more fli�hts)
at O'Hare International Airport;� 18 slots would provide
service to underserved communities and 12 slots would be
available for general distribution;
• It would create 12 new round-trip flights at Reaaan
national, six of which would fly beyond the 1,2�0-mile
perimeter rule at the airport. All of the new flights must be
conducted with quieter Staee 3 aircraft;
• It �vould provide slot exemptions for non-stop reQional
jets to fly to and from underserved communities and
'O'Hare, LaGuardia, and JFK airports. These exemptions
would have to be approved by the Secretary oiTransporta-
tion for service between the three airports and airports ��'ith
fewer than ttivo million passen�ers per year.
Like his earlier bill, this one would require the Secretarv
of Transportation to study and report on the environmental,
safety, and noise impact of new flights prior to �rantina any
slot exemptions at O' Hare. Prior to issuin� any slot exemp-
tions, the Secretary would have to provide a 30-day public
notice in the Federal Register and consult with local
officials on noise and environmental issues: After thre�
years, the Secretary must do another study on how safety,
the environment, noise, access to undersen�ed marke��, and
competition at O'Hare have been impacted by the increased
number of operations.
The bill directs the Secretary of Transportation to study
and report on tne community noise levels in the aress
surroundin� the four Hi�h Density airpores once the all-
St�ne 3 fleet comes into effect in 2000.
Airport Noise Report
National Park Overflights
McCain's bil] includes provisions reflectin� a compromise
on air tour overflights of national parks that was reached
between the air tour industry and environmental interests
sitting on the National Parks Overfli�hts Worl:in� Group,
set up by the FAA and the National Park Service. The
lejislation tivould require air tour operators to conduct their
tours in accordance with the air tour rnana�ement plans for
each national park. If the plan is not already in place for a
particular park, the FAA administrator and the director of
the National Park System would develop one. The Grand
Canyon National Park, which already has flight limits on
tour operators, wouid be exempt from the legislation.
Air tour operators would have to apply for authority to
conduct operations over a park under MeCain's bill and the
FAA administrator �vould prescribe operating conditions
and limitations for each commercial air tour operator.
Existing commercial air tour operators would have 90 days
to apply to the FAA for operating authority. New entrant air
tour operators would be required to apply for the authority
before they could besin commercial air tour operations over
a national park, The FAA would have to act on these
applications within 24 months.
A stand-alone park overIlights bill was also introduced by
McCain 7an. 16. It is identical to the provisions in this bill.
Aviation Development Program
It also established the Small Community Aviation
Deve:opment Procram under which the Secretary of
Transportation would be required to set up a four-year pilot
aviation development proaram and designate a proo am
director. BeQinning in 1999, the program director would
report annually to the Secretary and to Con�ress with
analysis on the availability of air transportation services in
small communities, identify factors that inhibit quality and
affardable services in small communities, and make policy
recommendations to address these faciors.
McCain's bill also �vould require the Secretary of Trans-
portation to review the marketin� practices of air camers
that may inhibit the availability of affordable air transporta-
tion service to small and medium-sized comm�nities. If the
Secretary finds that these practices constitute an inhibition,
the Secretary would be required to issue a rulemakinQ.b

Part of the communiry outreach pro�ram for a ne�v fourth
rumvay a[ �4iami International Airport was a virtual reality
demonstration whicn zxactly depicted the noise contours
predicted in the environmental impact statement on the•new
runway and allowed ��iewers to take a visual tour af the
contours from any perspective they chose.
tifiami-based EnRine�rina & Computer Simulations, Inc.

January ?2, 1999
(ECS), has already given a demonstra[ion of its Interactive
Transportation Desi?n Tool to the Secretary of Transporta-
tion and on Jan. 12 provided a demonstration to members of
the Aircraft Noise Subcommi[tee of the Transportation
Research Board's Committee on Transportation-Related
Noise and Vibration.
The new tool "combines simulntion capability with
sraphics to help expedite the design process," the company
explained in promotional material passed out at the TRB
committee meetin'. "This combination ailows for real-time
manipulation of proposed transportation components
(interior and exterior of facilities), runways, protected
airspace jeometry, ports, roads, bridaes, tunneis, etc: to
provide an optimized, visual approach for layout, facility
and operational planning."
The system is desi�ned to visually communicate complex
desian alternatives to decision-makers early in the plannin�
process, thus decreasin� the time needed for design approval
and funding by months.
Real-Time Interaction
"Our approach to the actval' development o� the expansion
plan differs from others in that our 3-D renderin� program is
a`real-time' interactive software. This gives us the capabil-
ity to manipulate the environment instantaneously providinQ
planners, engineers, architects, local, state, federat agencies,
etc. with the abiIity to modify the plans wiihout ]enQthy
delays associated with revision of plans," the company said.
For example, air tra�c controllers can "stand" in a virtual
control [ower and instantIy move items tivithin the control ''
tower or the entire tower itself to get greater si�ht lines. "In
other words, modifications to the plans can be made in a
few seconds, whereas other more traditional methods could
tal:e days. This directly translated into large savings in both
time and money," the company said.
In terms of noise contour analysis, it said that its virtual
reality system �ives viewers the capability to fly around the
surroundins communities to see how the noise will afiect
different areas. Using the Federal Aviation Administration's
InteQrated Noise Model and aerial photo�raphy, the system
can create three dimensional noise contovrs �vhich will
exactly match those in environmental impact statements.
The system also has the ability to modet landmark
buildings to be used as reference points for the community;
to add sound that �vill represent what would be heard at a
particular location; to include specific flight paths and
aircraft types in the analysis; to overlay multiple scenarios
simuitaneously; to �enerate a terrain from input data; and to
animate �ircraft alona specific flight paths.
Scott Aviotti of ECS told ANR that Niiami International is
the only airport where the company's virtual reality system
has been used to depict noise contours. The system has bezn
used to depict ne�v terminal buildin�s and other airpor[
facilities at Southwest Florida Internationa] Airport, Orlando
International, Ne�vark International, Adanca Hartsfield
International, and for UPS's netiv facility at Louisville
1n[ernational Airport.�

FAA UiVVEILS NEW SYSTEM
FOR REPLICATING NOISE
In the very near future, aircraft overfli¢ht noise �vill be
easier to replicate and will more accurately reflect local
conditions thanks to a new computer-based demonstration
tool developed by the Federal Aviation Administration and
the Department of Defense.
The Aviation Noise Demonstration System (f1NDS) is an
❑pgzade of the Interactive Sound Information System (ISIS)
developed by Dubbink Systems of San Luis Obispo, CA. In
recent years, ISIS has established itself as the standard
system for presentin� flyover noise demonstrations to
communities, �overnmental a�encies, and others making
decision about airport expansion and noise miti�ation
projects.
But, unlike ISIS, "real time" inputs from an airport's noise
monitoring system can be fed into the new ANDS system,
Robert Hixson, an environmental specialist and community
planner in the.FAA's O�ce of Environment and Energy,
explained at a Jan. 12 meetinQ of the Transportation
Research Board's Committee on Transportation-Related �,
Noise and Vibration. He said that ANDS can be customized
to replicate individual airports, including the3r own existin�
and future noise contours.
"ANDS is a fully interactive, simplified version of ISIS
that offers users the ability to chanae content or have �
chanaes made for them by Dubbink System," Hixson said.
ANDS has the ability to predict noise events "based on
`real-noise' e,camples that can be localized to a specific set
of variables and conditions. Users who complete special
trainina also will be able to customize program content
themselves." Content that can be chanJed to accommodate
local situations includes rumvay configurations, fleet mix,
Intejrated Noise Model (INNi) contour maps, photojraphs
of noise-sensitive uses, lansuage, land use maps, and video
segments.
The new system uses graphics plus audio to demonstrate
Sta�e 2 versus StaQe 3 aircraft, Day-NiCht AveraQe Sound
Lev�l (DivL.), Sound Exposure Leve] {SEL), and sound
insulation benefits, Hixson said. ANDS also can be used to
demonstrate noise propagation, hotiv multiple sounds
interact, the effe�ts of noise barriers, and the effects of
residencial environmental noise on one's perceptions of
aviation noise.
AN`DS is hiQhly portable, Hixson said. It uses a potiverfu]
laptop computer �t�ith built-in CD-ROM, compact but
power;ul speakers and amplifier, and a]iQht-weiaht,
compact multi-media projector for large-screen presenta-
tions. The sys[em will operate in three modes: basic,
custom, and exper. There will be a l:iosk version for exhibit
use.
The major uses of ANDS are e;cpected to be in support of
Part 1�0 Airport i\Toise Compa[ibility Programs, to support
the noise elemencs of airport environmental studies, and for
Airport �;uis� Rcpor,
6 Airport Noise Report
trainine of planners, controllers, pilots, and local officials.
The sys[em is a joint project between the FA.A and the US
Air Force's Armstrona Research Laboratory. Both FAA and
DOD versions of ANDS will be available. TheANDS
sound track will include up to 30 civil and/or military
aircraft. The FA.A's plans to have one ANDS system in each
of its regional offices and will make ANDS master work
stations available to consnitants and others.
The fiA.A and DOD plan to refine and add more aircraft to
the system in the future and may develop an Internet
version. Hixson said that the FAA pians to make the A.tYDS
software broadly available within the next few months. The
ANDS system will be demonstrated at the upcoming
International Airport Noise Symposium to be held in San
Diego Feb. 22-24.

San Diego Int'Z
ALL-STAGE 3 FLEET
�ZEAC:I�TED ON JAI�CTARY 1
San Diejo International Airport became an all-Sta?e 3
facility on Jan. 1 as a new noise rule went into effect that
allows only quieter Stage 3 aircraft to opera±e at Lir.dbergh
Field. . �
The "100 percent Staae 3 rule," as the airport calls it, �vill
be enforced by the Port of.San DieQo, the airport operacor,
and will apply to all rejularly scheduled commercial
airlines, commuter, and carao flijhts to and from the airport.
Operators violating the rule will face possible fines.
San Diego's rule, which makes the airport alI-StaQe 3 a
year ahead of the federal schedule, was �andfathered under
.the Airport Noise and Capacity Act of 1990. The act
imposes a federal schedule for phasing out Stase 2 aircr'+,..it
by the end of 1999. 4
The Port of San Die�o, ho�vever, is takin� that step a��ear
early, followin� the Airport Use Regulations set by the
Board of Por[ Commissioners with community input in
1989. The re�ulations subsequently initiated a schedule ior
eliminating Staae 2 operations at San DieQo that was more
aseressive thanythe federal schedule. San Dieao Internz-
tional has been very close to an'all-Staae 3 flee[ for several
}�ears. For instance, in 1997, some 97 percent oi the airc:afr
operations at the airport were Staae 3 compared to an
avera�e of 80 percen[ for the rest of the counry.
"ti�'e are only one of four airports in the nation mand�l[lQ
100 percent StaRe 3 operations," said Thella Bowens, senior
director of aviation for the Port of San Dieoo. "This as a
proud achievement for San Diego International Airpor
�+�hich has been accomplished tivith the close cooperatian of
the 25 operators that use LindberQh Field."
The other airports [ha[ are already all-Stage three are ali in
California: John Wayne Airport in Orange County, Bur-
bank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport, and Lon� Beach Airport.d
Burbank
AIRPORT ACCELERATES
SOUNDPROOFING PROGRAIYI
The Burbank-Glendale-I'asadena Airport Authority
announced Jan. 15 that it has accelerated its residential
acoustic treatment pro�ram in the cities of Burbank and Los
Anaeles, which have strongly opposed the construction of a
replacement passen�er terminal at the airport:
On 7an. 4, the airport authority voted unanimously to
retain the services of Wyle Laboratories of EI Segundo, CA,
for the design and construction manajement of future
residential acoustic treatment projects for the next five
years. The vote amended a previous agreement with Wyle
and brought the total nnmber of homes covered by the
contract to 150.
In the past two years, Burbank Airport has entered into
con�racts with 933 homeowners out of a total of 2,300 who
are eliaible for its residential acoustic treatment pro�ram.
"We view the proo am as having a fairly significant
success rate in a short period of time," said Sidney Allen,
mana�er of the pron am. "Many homeowners living in the
cities of Burbank and Los Angeles have expressed a real
interest in this program." He said that, of the �150 homes in
the Wyle contract, 104 are located in the Ciry of Burbaz�k.
`"I'his is a very heavily weighted prob am to try to address
Burbank's noise concerns," Allen said. The City of Burbank
currently is enaa�ed in a legal battle with the airport
authority over the construction of the new temunal, which
Bubank fears will result in increased noise impact.
To date the Federal Aviation Administration and the
ai�ort have committed �7.4 million in b ants and matching
funds to acoustically t�eat homes, �vhich includes the
installation of new doors, windows, attic insulation and, if
necessary, central heatin� and air condifioning.
Nine homes were acousticalIy insulated and completed in
Phase I of the projram. The airport has entered Phase II by
siQning up 7� homeowners, 50 of whom live in Burbank
within the 7Q+ CNEL noise contour and 25 who reside in
SUn Valley within the 6�+ CNEL contour. Acoustical
treatrnent of 2� homes in Burbank will beQin in February.
Another 7� homes will be treated under Phase III of the
proaram (�0 homes in Burbank and 25 in Los An�eles),
bringinQ the total number of homes receivina acoustical
treatment to 1�9. y
The airport authority also announced that on Jan. 4 the
board approved an aareement and Avigation Easement with
the Burbank linified School District for acoustical treatment
of Iviin�ay Adult School. ,
The aareement provides for almost $4 million in funds
from the airport authority and the FAA for improvements

that will siQnificantly reduce noise at the school. The next
step in the process wil] be the selec[ion of an architect and
then production of plans. Once approved, construction is se[
[o besin next year and �vil] take approximately t�vo years to
complete. Improvement will include ne�v windows and
doors, acoustical ceilin�s, and air conditioning.
Ivlin�ay Adult School is the fourth and last in a series of
schools to be acoustically treated by the airport_ Upon
completion of this project, the airport authority and the FAA
wil] have•funded more than �12.5 million in schooi acousti-
cal treatments.�
Stage 2 Phaseout
FAA ASKED TO CLARIFY POLICY
ON NON-REVEI�IU]E OPERATIONS
Fenrin� that the Federal Aviation Administration may be
ready to tal�e the position that absolutely no Stage 2 opera-
tions will be permitted after the Stase 2 aircraft phaseout
deadline at the end of this year, even those for maintenance
work and to move aircraft to be hushki[ted or sold, the Air
Transport Association, the Cargo Airline Association, and
two Hawaiian carriers asked the FAA to clarify its policy on
waivers, asserting that the a?ency has lee�vay under the
Airport Noise and Capacity Act (ANCA) to �rant �vaivers
for non-revenue operations beyond the end of 1999.
The airlines are in no tivay back-peddling on the phaseout
of Stage 2 aircraft, stressed John Meenan, senior vice
president for industry policy at ATA. But, he told ANR, the
inability to conducc a very limited n�mber of non-revenue
operations to move Staae 2 aircraft to be hnshl:itted or sold
would reduce the value of the aircraft to scrap.
On Dec. 31, the ATA and Car�o Airline Association filed
a joint petition with the PAA seeking clarification of the
�aaiver provisions in the FAA.'s Pai-t 91 rules implementinQ
the StaQe 2 aircraft phaseout requirements of Ai�TCA. In the
alternative, they souQht a limited waiver to operate Staae 2
aircraft after Dec. 31, 1999 — the final phaseout deadline —
and asked that their petition serve as a"placeholder"
application to preserve the rishts of their member air)ines to
file individual applications for specific exemptions aiter
Decernber 31, 1995 — the deadline for submi[tin� applica-
tions for waivers from the final phaseout deadlin�.
"This application is being filed out of an abundance of
caution due to the lack of clarity as to the permissible scope
of limited Staje 2 operations after Dec. 31, 1999, " ATA
and the carQo airlines told the FAA in their petition.
"It has come to our attention that the [FAA� mav be on the
veree of takin� certain positions �vith resoect to the opera-
tion of Staae 2 equipment after Dec. 3l, 1999, �vhich �ve
believe are inconsistent with the policy established by
[.AI�TCA� and/or the FAA reaulations enacted therzunder."
They said they �vere informed that the FAA may be takin�t
the position that "absolutely" no S[age 2 operations «�ill be
permitted in the United States even if these opera[ions are
solely:
�
• To import the aircrafc for the purpose of con��enin, them
to StaQe 3 standards or to move them to Alaska or Ha�vaii
where they could opera[e ]egally bzcause Sta�e 2 aircraft in
these states are exempt from the phaseou[ requirements;
• To export a Staae 2 aircraft from the United States or to
move one to a maintenance facility in connection with being
exported;
• To move a StaQe 2 aircraft from a storase facility in
connecuon with its modification to StaQe 3 noise standards;
and �
• To perform maintenance on a SiaQe 2 aircraft which can
continue to be le�a]ly operated in Hawaii or Alaska after the
�phaseout deadline.
"tiWith the upcomina Dec. 31, 1999, 100 percent compli-
ance date, the industry is faced �vith some practical prob-
lems perhaps not fully explored �vhen the [FAA] imple-
mentinQ regulations were enacted in 5eptember 1991," the
airlines told the aaency. "The indusiry is concerned with the
significant dimin3shed value of Stage 2 aircraft if such non-
revenue operations are not permitted. Moreover, U.S.
maintenance facilities would not be able to provide hushkit-
ting and other maintenance services if such ]imited Stage 2
operations are not allowed"
Section 91.8�7 of the FAA's reQulations specifically
permits carriers to apply for special flight authorizations to
bring Stage 2 aircraft into the lower 43 states for mainte-
nance purposes. However, the preamble to FAA's phaseout
regnlations specifically states [hat "1�laintenance fli,�hts wiil
not be allowed after the statutory prohibition of Dec. 31,
19S9." ATA and the carao carriers araed FAA to review
and modify this policy, which, they argued, "appears to
recognize that such operations were not prohibited by the
underlyin� leaislation."
Section 91.8�9 allo�vs persons to app]y for special flight
authorizations to brina Stage 2 aircraft to the conti�uous
United States for the purpose of obtaining madifications to
meet Staee 3 noise levels. There is no indication that the
ability to mal:e such requests expires on Dec. 3l, 1999, �the
airlines said.4 �

Part 91 rules implementin� the Airport Noise and Capaciry Act of 1990 to
have a[ least 7� percent of its fleet operatin� in the United States compli-
ant with Stage 3 noise standards by Dec. 31, 1998. '
Servivensa operates only five B727-200 aircraft in the United States.
Two of these aircraft already meet Stage 3 noise standards and, without
the waiver, a third would have had to have been brought into compiiance
by Dec. 31, 1993, or the airline would have had to remove two of the
Sta�e 2 aircraft presently in use in [he United States.
The waiver, which FAA said was in the public interest, permits Ser-
vivensa to complete the on�oing re-enginin� of a B-727-200 airplane to
Sta�e 3 status. Without the waiver, Servivensa would have had to .
discontinue operation of two airplanes until compliance was achieved,
affecting the holiday Christrnas holiday flights of approximately 9,000
passengers, according to the FA.A.
In its stater�nent b anting the waiver, issued on Dec. 31, 1998, the FAA.
said it finds "[hat good cause exists in this instance to o ant a waiver of
the requirements of 91.867(b)(4) for a limited period. Although the
materials presented by the petitioner indicate that much of the delay 9n
acquiring the new aireraft engines was within the control of the petitioner,
the FAA is satisfied that part of the delay was not. The pe6tioner appears
to have had a reasonable plan for compliance and began to execute that
plan in June 1998.'The conversion of the replacement airplane was
delayed in part because of unforeseen events that occurred at the en�ine
manufacture facility that were unknown to the petitioner and were beyond
the petitioner's control. Under such circumstances, the FAA has deter-
mined that a D ant of waiver may be appropriate."
'The a�ency anticipated that the waiver would result in a total of 30
operations each between Venezuela and the United States by two of
Servivensa's Sta�e 2 airplanes durin� the period Jan. 1-15, 1999.
The FAA said the intent of its Part 91 phaseout reguirements "is not to
punish an operator for reasonable attempts at compliance that are delayed
by circumstances beyond its control. In this case, compliance would
result in the petitioner's inabiliiy to operate two of its �ive auplanes, wi[h
a siQnificant adverse impact on passenger service."
Last summer, Servivensa si�ned an a�reement with Pratt & 1Vhitney
and BF Goodrich that would permit up to five of its B727-200s to be re-
en�ined. That work has been delayed, the carrier told FA.A, because of
extensive lejal and paperwork requirements associated with financing the
project and because of unanticipated deIay in the shipment of the en�ines
to Venezuela.�

Admit��stra�ion C.rjnsidet's Platt to Boas�
�aximum Airpoti Fee �o $5 Per Passe�ger
ith more funds needed for tAe upkeep of ti2e na-
tion's aviacion system, the Clinton administra-
tion is said fo be eyeing a, plan to sharply in-
crease the maximum fee Ehat airports can collect from
passengers, according to sources.
While cautioning that details of the fiscal year 2q00
budget plan still ara baing decided, sources said they
expect the adminis[ratian now is likely to back a pro-
posal to increase the maximum passenger facility
charge (PFC} collected by airports fr4m �3 to $5.
By itself, such a large increase in the maximum PFC
is likely to meet with opposition from tne airline indus-
try, which last year successfully opposed a S 1 PFC hike.
But when coupied with an expecced deep cut in che Air-
port Improvement Program, the administration's fi-
nancing plan inay not fly an Capito! Hill, the sources
said. Aiready, House Transponation and Infrastructure
Committee Chairman Bud. SKuster (R-Pa.) has said he
will not support a PFC increase whi3e revenues in the
Aviation Trust Fund are not fully spent to upgrade avIa-
tion facilities_
The adminiszration's financing proposals for airport
construction pc-ograms will be part of a iarger package
that President Clinton will sent to Capitol Hill early next
month_ Also iikely to be included in the budget for Fed-
eral Aviation Administration programs, sources said,
will be a plan to finance the nation's air traffic control
system v�ich new user fees.
More details on the administration's plans are ex-
pected to emerge Jan. 15, when�Transportation Secr�-
tary Rodney Slater and .many other senior Transporta-
tion .Departmen�-efficials are scheduled to meet with
members of Congress ai�d top aviation industry o�cials
to�discussxh�rfinancing of the�U:S. aviaRon•system. The
all-dsy mee[ing will taka place ak the World Trade Cen-
ter in New Yock City.
S1.6 Billion A1P Under Discusslon. The C�nancing pro-
posais alsa wilt be reflected in the FAA reauthoriiation
bill that F�A Administrator Sane Garvey said should be
sent to Congress soon after the budget submission. FAA
programs, including the Airport Improyement Pro;ram,
now are du� to expire March 31. While Shusrer led his
committee Jan. '1 in passing another shor't-term exten-
sion of the programs, neither the House nor the Senate
ha�e y�t acted to ensure FAA funding con[inues this
spring while Congress tackles the long•kecm FA� reau-
thorization (5 DER A-3$, 118199}.
White aviation safety and airline competicion are
among the controversies that will.make it d�ificult for
lawmakers to reach an early agreement on a bi11, future
financing of the system appears to be the mos[ diF,�cult
issue raised by the reauthorization. htany of zhe pro-
' posed solutions already are encountering strong sirline
industry opposition, the sources said. .
i The plan ta boosc the maximum P�'C �rnm 33 to �5 is
ssid to•have been recommended by a DOT Norking
group zhQt exarnined the issue of long-term financing of
FAA programs,� Howevar, the administntion's plan 'ss

Each $1 increase in the PFC is e'stimated to yield
�400 miltion annually. Thus a$? increase wou(d b�i�g
in $$00 mitlion. I
But at the sar�e tirne that the administration pro-
pases to raise rhe PFC cap, oFficials also wanc to again
cut the Airport Improvement Progtam, sources said.
The 1�udget now is expected to propose cutting AIP
funding iv $i_6 billion, down from the $1.95 billion [ha�
congressional appropriators agreed to for FY 1998, they
said_ `
Not only is the $1.6 billion far less than the appropri-
ated level, the figures is even below what the adminis-
[ration p�oposed in its FY 1999 budget sent co Congress
last winter, they said. Last year, the pres+dent's budget
endorsed a AIP level of $1.7 billion. "i�he fund will ha�e
an uncommitted balance af almost $7 billion az the end
of this year.
For his part, Shuster already has made it clear he will
not entertain any PFC increase as long as revenues
from existing aviation excise taxes sit unused in the
Avjation Tcust Fund, which finances the AIP and other
FA.A accounts. To "fcee up those funds, Shuster and
Rep. James Obersiar (D-Minn.) said they will back leg-
islation to ei[her take the trust fund aff budget or other-
wise "wall off" aviation within the federal budget pro-
cess.
Neva User Fec�Based ATC Plan. Also said likely to be•in-
cluded in the president's budget request is a plan to im- (
pose new fees on the users of the aviation system in or- \
der to support air traffic con[rol aperations, the sources
said. The plan is said tfl be panicularly favored by the
Ofnce of Management and Budgec.
But the agency's original pian to use the fee ro raise
millions more than cuzrently needed for ATC opera-
tions immediately ran into- trouble with the airline in-
dustry, sourcas said,-and now may have been scaled
back somewhat. .
That proposal also will stand in contrast to the Qlan
Shuster recently backed to control ,ATC costs. In recent
comments to reporters, Shuster said he is likely to push
m3��g FA,A independent-o; the Transportation Depart-
ment, or, at a minimum, making ATC operations sepa-
race. Shuster said such steps would help to remnve po-
�i�icat pressures on the agency, particularly from the
y,rhite House.
Specifi�s on the administra[ian's FAA financing
plans are expec[ed to be formally announced Feb. 1, the
da�e on �hich the budget is sent to Congress.
