DIFFICULT NEGOTIAT'IONS PREDICTED
FOR US, EU ON TIGHTER ICAO NOISE RULE
DifFcult ne�otiations ]ie ahead for the European Union and the United States on
the details of a tighter international aircraft noise standazd, an o�cial of the
European Union predicted July 19 at the annual conference of the National
Organization to Insure a Sound-controlled Environment (NOISE) held in San
Francisco.
Anders C. Jessen, first secretary for Transport-Environment-Energ}r with the
Delegation of the European Commission, said there will be no progress on a rrrore
strin�ent International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) aircraft noise certifica
tion standard (loosely referred to as a Staae 4 standard) if the United States and the
EU fail to a?ree on its parameters.
Jessen said he was struck by the U.S. aviation industry's "apparent determination
to prevent pro�ress towards more s�ingent noise standards" and by the "U.S.
administ=ation's difficulty in handling the industry."
\ The week of July 19 representatives of the European Commission in Brussels
�. J met with high level officials of the Department of Transportation, Federal Aviation
Administration, and U.S. aviation industry to try to determine whether the EC (the
technical branch of the EIT) and the United States could issue a joint statement
agreeing on some basis for proceeding with the development of a Sta�e 4 ICAO

THREE AIRPORTS, TEMPE EXPLORING
USE OF NAV AIDS TO REFI��1E FLIGHT T3.2ACKS
(By Charles F. Price) — Three U.S. airports — Chica�o O'Hare International, San
Francisco International, and Louisville International — and the City of Tempe, AZ,
are exploring the use of cuttin�-ed?e navi�ation technologies for noise miti?ation
purposes. The new technologies allow aircraft to precisely follow noise abatement
fliQht paths that are only meters wide and, say its sponsors, hold the promise of
dramatically shrinkina noise contours on the a ound.
The airports are pursuina aspects of the new technology in various ways —
O'Hare to define fliaht �acks for its niahtrime "fly quiet" pro�ram; Louisville as
one option in a Part 1�0 airport noise compatibility pro�ram planninQ process; and
SFO as a component of iu onaoinQ noise miti�ation program. Additionally, a work
plan to use the technolosy to better define a noise abatement departure route
a�reed to in the settlement of a lawsuit challengin; a new runway at Phoenix Sky
Harbor International Airport is pending before the Tempe Ci[y Council.

noise standard, Jessen told ANR. But neither Jessen nor
U.S. sources felt that any progress had been made at the
meetings.
The U.S. airline industry said it will only support such a
joint statement, according to Jessen, if the EU drops a
regulation it approved in April that will freeze the number
of hushkitted and reengined aircraft openting in Europe.
The European's refusal to drop that regulation is the main
stumbling block to movin� forward with a jointstatement, a
U.S. source told ANR.
The EU rejulation bars the addirion to the re�stry of
European airlines of aircrafr "recertificated" to meet Stage 3
noise standards as of May 1, 2000. Beginning on April 1,
2002, the rule will bar the operation in Europe of hushkitted
aircraft from non-European countries that did noc operate
there between April 1, 199�, and May 4, 2000.
The EU regulation was to have become effective this
April, but under intense pressure from the United Siates, ihe
EU delayed implementation of its regulation for one year.
The EU is open to further gostponina the effective date of
the regulation as long as pro�aress is being made with the
United States on the shape of a StaDe 4 ICAO standard,
7essen told ANR. However, he stressed, the EU wilI not
drop the regulation (See related story in this issue).
7essen said a report is due to the EU Commission at the .
end of September documentinp pro�ess, if any, that has
been made in working cooperatively with the United States
on a tighter ICAO noise standard.
There currently is no proposed ICAO "Stage 4 noise
standard. A working � oup cf ICAO's Committe� on '
Aviation Environmental Protection (CAEP) is expected to
complete its work on defining the technical parameters of a
new standard by the end of September. If adopted, a tighter
ICAO standard wiil not be called Chapter 4— thai chapter is
aIready desijnated for helicopters. It is unclear at this point
what ICAO will call it o�cially.
Unilateral Action Defended
At the NOISE conference, Jessen explained why the EU
has taken unilateral action to bar hushkitted aircraft in
Europe. Airports in Europe have come under increasina
pressure to reduce aircraft noise, he said, and opposition by
the public has continued to arow despite new technology
and the imposition of operational measures by the airlines.
In response to this arowine public pressure, Enropean
airports have adopted operational and financial measures to
restrict opera[ion of noisy aircraft. While the Airport Noise
and Capacity Act of 1990 makes it very difficult for U.S.
airports to impose restrictions of aircraft noise, European
airports are under no such limitation.
The proliferation of local restrictions at European airports
has led to an unstable�operatina environment fot all aircraft
operators. Jessen said. The ideal solution is a coordinated
international response to deal with noise at its source, he
said, but blamed the United States for deviating from the
Sta�,e 2 phaseout timetable set by ICAO.
In 199Q the United States decided unilaterally to acceler-
ate the timetable for the phaseout of Stage 2 aircraft: it
began the phaseout three months early; moved the final
phaseout date up from April 1, 2002, to Dec. 31, 1999; and
set three interim compliance dates for the phaseout (Dec. 31,
1994, 1996, and 1998).
This accelerated timetable irnposed by the United States
on carriers operatin� here pushed some carriers to use
hushkitted aircraft to meet the Stage 3 requirements, the EU
o�cial said, and led to a sisnificant increase in the number
of aircraft that will be hushkitted to meet the standard. In
1996, ICAO estimated that only 6a0 airplanes would be
hushkitted to meet Stage 2 phaseout requirernents; it now
estimates that 1,500-1,600 aircraft will be hushkitted by
2040, Jessen said.
`Threat to Environmental Gains'
Hushkitted aircraft "generally have worse environmental
performance than current pmduction aircraft; ' he said.
Current production aircraft often exceed ICAO Chapter 3
(the international equivalent to U.S. Stage 3) noise standazds
by substantial mazgins, Jessen said. But old production
aircraft "are often only mar�nally compliant" and have to
rely on iradeoff allowances to meet the standard or on
recertification techniques that allow operational restrictions,
such as wei�ht reductions and chanaes to flap settings, to be
counted. �
Older aircraft that are only maz�nally compliant with
Sta�e 3 noise standards pose a"threat to environmental
gains," the EU'officiai told conference participants. Noise
levels at airports depend on the number of aircraft move-
ments and the fleet mix servina the airport, he explained.
Aircraft movements are expected to double in the next 20
years at many airports, he said, and [he fleei mix serving
airports has "deteriorated" as a result of the U.S. decision to
accelerate the StaDe 2 phaseout schedule.
The Airport Council International - North America (ACI-
NA), Jessen said, has pointed out that older aircraft origi-
nally certified as Staae 2, such as older 727s, 737s, and DC-
9s, even if hushkitted "are dramatically noisier" than aircraft
manufactured to meet Sta�e 3 noise standards. ACI-NA also
has stressed that recertification techniques imposing
operational restrictions on these older aircraft produce no
reduction in noise emissions. Further, he said, ACI-NA has
noted that the purpose of the Airpon Noise and Capacity
Act of 1990 was to eliminate these older aircraft from the
fleet.
ICAO Failed to Consider Europeans
ICAO is the body that develops international aircraft noise
standards. The EU, Jessen said, looked to ICAO for many
years to revisit noise cercification standards for jet and large
propeller-driven airplanes. The current Chapter 3 ICAO
noise standards are outdated, he said. •
But ICAO's Committee on Aviation Environmental
Protection (CAEP) — the technical committee that does mos�
Airport Noise Report
�
�
July 30, 1999
of ICAO's environmental work —"has up to now consis-
tently failed to Qive due consideration to Europe's pressing
�!, noise problems; ' Jessen said. In 1995, CAEP even removed
the noise item from its work proa am. "CAEP in faci only
revisited the issue after the European Commission presented
irs proposed re?ulation barrin� recertificated aircraft.
The EU General Assembly failed to sapport an EU
proposal for a clear timetabie for a new noise standard,
7essen said, addin� that the EU and it member siates "have
been very disappointed by the lack of support from the U.S.,
in some cases, even opposition to its efforts "
Three concerns prompted the EU to propose its regulation
on hushkitted aircraft, he said. Frst as the concern that
substantial numbers of marginally Chapter 3 aircraft would
be added to EU registers or operated into Es�rope. Second
were concerns about proliferation of ad-hoc airport restric-
tions in Europe. And fina3ly were concerns about ICAO's
failure to adopt more stringent noise standards.

EU Regulafion
On April 29 the Council of the European Union approved
the regulation barrin� hushkitted aircraft_ Jessen told the
NOISE conference that the EU decided to postpone the
efFective date of its new reaulation as an indication of its
willin�ness to consider modifications to it to remove the
perceived discriminatory impact. -
There are several mispercep[ions, Jessen said, about the
EU rule. The United States contends that the rewlation
contravenes ICAO rules; that it underniines ICAO's role as
a srandard-seitin� body; that there is no correlarion between
en�ine bypass ratio and noise; that it imposes an arbitrary
design standazd; and that it is discriminatory.
But the EU o�cial rebutted all these contentions. ICAO
standards aze not bindin� and they apply only to certifica-
tion, not recertification of aircraft, he said. The EU is not
underminin� ICAO's role, he contended. ICAO's failure to
respond to European concerns farced the EU to react, he
said, and the United States unilateral decision to accelerate
the Sta?e 2 phaseout agQravated the problem.
There is a correlation between enaine bypass ration and
noise, he noted. As enQine bypass ration increases, jet
exhaust noise decreases. And the EU's use of engine bypass
ratio in noise standards is neither novei or unique, he said.
7essen also insisted that the EU regulation is not discrimi-
natory. It imposes no particular solution, he said. European
carriers with older aircraft will face the same limitation
when attemptinQ to sell the aircraft. The EU re�ulation will
have no impact on �vhich manufacturer EU airlines' choose
in buyino new aircraft.
The United States contends that the EU regulation
discriminates asainst aircraft equipped with engines
manufactured here, espzcially the Pratt & tiijhitney TTS-D
enaine, a workhorse of the industry that is a prime candidate
for hushkittina. The EU resulation is based on a design
standard, (enQinz b}•pass ratio), not a performance stanc3ard
(noise emission). It bars aircraft that have an en�ine bypas,s
:•
ratio of less than 3:1, regardless of whether the en�ine is
hushkitted and its noise emission reduced_ The JT8-D has a
bypass ration of less than 2: i.�

EU ENV7[I20r�1VIENTAL GOALS
IVIUST BE M[AINTAINED, IT.S. TOLD
The European Union is willing to discuss amendments to
its controversial regvlation barring hushkitted aircraft but
only to the extent that they preserve the environmental
objectives of the rule, two high-level o�ciats of ihe
European Cornmission, the technical arm of the EU, told
Secretary of State Madeline Albright, Secretary of Com-
merce William M. Daley, Secretary of Transgortation
Radney E. SIater, and U.S. Trade Representative Charlene
Baishefsky, in a 7uly 201etter.
The issue of hushkitted aircraft operating in Enrope has
become enmeshed in ihe e owing traide tensions between the
United States-and Europe. Hushkittina, once a topic
relegated to technocrats, is now on the a�enda of cabinet -�.
level officials in the United States and Europe.
ConD ess has passed le�islation that will bar t}ie. Concorde
from operation in the United States when the EU regulation
takes effect, and Northwest Airlines is seeki� io have the
government impose sanctions on Eurape for its action.
EC Commissioner Neil Kinnock and EC Vice President
Sir Leon Brittan noted in their letter that the "hushkits
issue" was discussed at the recent EU-US Summit
The EC officials said that "while we are ready to address
the specific concerns raised by the United States [to the EU
regulation], the environmental objectives of the regulation
cannot be undermineti. We cannot accept a deterioration of
the noise situation at European airports aenerated by these
recertificated aircraft. Consequently, we are willing to
discuss amendments to the regulation to meei your concerns
to the extent that our environmentai objectives are pre-
served."
"We wish therefore [o continue to insist on the need for
our cooperation to cover both o�r shorter and lonaer-term
needs. It is important to pursue both an ICAO and a bilateral
track."
At the request of the United States, the EU postponed
implementation of its rule by one year. But Kinnock and
Brittan noted in their letter that this delav "was rendered
possible by the new priority given by the United States to
the ICAO work on a more strin�ent noise standard and by
its willingness to work in close cooperation with Europe on
rules for [ransiuon [ro a quieter aircraft flee�J."
The European officials stressed that this decision to
postpone the effective date of [he EU reQulation "is of an
exceptional nature." They said "it was made bo[h to take
due account of the concerns raised bv the United S[ates and
to facilitate our cooperation for a ne�v noise standard which
Airport Noi�e Report
r�
gp Airport Noise Report
will meet our mutua] long-term environmental needs."
Kinnock and Brittan said they are pleased that a coopera-
tive process be[ween noise experts frorn the EC and the
United States is well under way in the ICAO framework.
"And we hope [hat we will mana�e at a political level to
endorse the positive developments reached at a technical
levei," they told U.S. officials.
But they said they are also awaze of potential conflicting
timetables since ICAO will not be able to deliver a more
strinaent noise standard before the entry into force of the
EU regulation. "However, if we can achieve toaether clear
and substantial progress on the development of a new ICAO
noise standard with appropriate transitional rules in the
coming months, we believe that the European legislative
bodies will'be in a position to draw the appropriate conse-
quences reearding the future implementation of the regula-
tion: '
Rule is `Safeguard'
The EU regulation, they explained, "was desiLned to be a
safeauard measure in order to prevent the addition of
aircraft in the Community which should normally have been
phased-out according to the ICAO principles. We would
remind you that, in 1990, the U.S. Administration unilater-
alIy decided, before an a�eement was reached in ICAO, to
phase out noisy aircraft (Staae 2 aircraft) according to iu
own timetabie, whilst imposina interim compliance require-
ments, which were not included at all in the ICAO a�ee-
ment " •�
The result of this uniIateral action by the United States,
they said, "is that techniques were used [in the United
States] to prolong the life of old aircraft that should nor-
mally have been retired accordin� to the ICAO require-
ments. Furthermore, this application threatens the purpose
of the ICAO standard in terms of overall noise reduction
throuah best available technology. Europe expected that, on
the basis of the ICAO rules, these old aircraft would no
lon�er fly after 2002. It seems that U.S. airports were also
taken by surprise."
The EC officials noted that the Airport Council Interna-
tional - North America aQrees with them. In a recent letter to
Federal Aviation Administrator Jane Garvey, ACI-NA said
that "in 1990, it was widely [hou�ht that there would be no
feasible means of continuins the operation of certain noisy
Scase 2 airplanes (particularly those powered by J'T8-D
envines... The purpose of the 19901egislation was to
eliminate these older aircraft from the operatin� fleeu and to
reduce noise sienificantly." Hushkits and other recertifica-
tion techniques, ACI-NA said, have allowed these aircraft
"which are dramatically noisier" to continue to fly.�
San Francisco InYI
SFO PLANS TO MAINTA.IN
LEADERSH]CP ROLE ON NOISE
San Francisco International Airport, at the forefront of
airport noise miti�ation efforts in the past, plans to maintain
that role in the future, Wayne Bryant, acrin� noise abate-
ment o�cer at SFO, told participants at the annual meeting
of the National Organization to Insure a Sound-controlled
Bnvironment (NOISE} heId in San Francisco July 19-20.
Leadership by the airport's current director, John Martin,
and by past directors is the factor that has put the airport
ahead in terms of noise abatement, Bryant said. "It takes
dynamic leadership to challenge the industry and the federai
government," he said, adding "the most effective airport
managers take personal responsibility for beina assertive
and proactive when it comes to addressing aircraft noise
problems."
The airport recendy upo aded its noise monitoring system
to improve its analytical capabilities and to have data
available within 24 honrs, he said. It also is installing new
noise monitors in Southem San Mateo communities
approximately 15 miles from the airport. These steps,
Bryant said, were taken in response to concerns raised by
the public. - ..
Airport manaaement, he told the session, is trying to
improve iis coordination and teamwork with the Federal
Aviation Administration, the airlines, and the pilots to assist
with the deveiopment of better ways to reduce aircraft noise.
SFO aiso has hired a former chief pilot to assist with pilot
issues and a former FAA air traffic control mana?er to assist
with air traffic matters.
And, he added, the airport recently appointed Ro?er
Chinn, the former mayor of Foster City, CA, and founding
father of the AirportlCommunity Roundtable, as'the new
assistant deputy airport director for noise abatement. "He's
from your side of the equation," Bryant told the city
o�cials attending the conference. "Do you know of
anyone," he asked, "who has vociferously represented an
aircraft noise-impacted constituency as an elected public
official and later been invited to take char�e of an airport
noise abatement pro�ram?"
SFO Setting Example
Bryant said that earlier this year SFO Airpon Director
John NSartin went to Phoenix for a conference of airport
directors and federal aviation o�cials from around the
country. During the course of the meetina he spoke about
SF�'s expansion and runway reconfi�uration proQram and
discussed his commitment to an aggressive environmental
miti�aaon plan, Bryant said. "He told us chat it seemed.:like
he was starting a revolution. Some of the airport officials
called him a radical, sayinQ he was talkins about spendinQ
too much money on the environment. They complained SFO
miQht set examples other airports would not be able to

follow." Of course, said Bryan[. "that wouldn't be the first
time that has happened."
-- He noted that San Francisco in not the only airport lookin�
�'for new runways: Miami, Boston, Seattle, Chicago, and Los
Anaeles also are strusjling to expand their ai�elds. "But
there is no airport - indeed few developmenu of any sort -
willinQ to consider the kind of miti�ation John Martin has
been talking about," Bryant said.
The initial figure being talked for environmental mitiga-
tion for a runway reconfi�uration project that coutd add
runways to San Francisco Bay is $200 miliion
The airport wants to build new runways into the bay to
reduce delay at the airport, reduce noise impacts, and to
accommodate the larQer airplanes being planned. Restoring
bay wetlands would offset the Ioss of bay azea that would
occur from filling the bay in to add the runways.
Lookin� to the future, Bryant said the "while most of the
world is focused on the Y2K issue comina up on Jan. 1,
2000, we in the world of aircraft noise have what might be
called `the other Y2K issue':' VJhile technically all aircraft
will be Stage 3 after that date, he said, the differences
between those aircraft oriD nally manufactured as 5tage 2
and those actually built as Staae 3"is quite substantial" in
terms of noise emissaon. Also, the Airport Noise and
Capacity Act severely limits the ability of airports to impose
new noise restrictions. '
"This means that airports are facinj th�-new century with
some bij challenges," Bryant told the conference. "To put it
� 1Simpiy, most of the low-han�nD fivit has already been
�picked." "A considerable amount of creativity and ingenuity
will be required to find improvemenu in the future," he
said. .
"The end of the Staae 2 phaseout is also the be�nning of a
national canversation about what to do next As an industry
we need to work out a strate�y to deal with the life span of
the previousiy Stage 2 aircraft, the older Sta?e 3 aircraft, the
development of a StaQe 4 standard, aircraft under 75,000
pounds, and the restrictions on the regulatory authority of
airpons."
These issues are a hish priority at San Francisco, Bryant
said, asserting that the airport "will go outside the box to
maintain a leadership role in the world of aircraft noise
abatement."�

bypass ratio jet enaines," William A. Albee, vice president
for pro�rams with Aviation Navi�ation and Satellite
Prosrams, Inc. (ANSP), told participants at a July 20 session
of the annual meetinQ of che National OrQanization to Insure
a Sound-controlled En��ironment (NOISE), held in San
Francisco.
Albee recentiv retired from the Federal Aviation Admini-
stration where he worked in the Office of Environment and
t ;�nersy and served as the aQency's noise ombudsman.
� While no[ina that next-aeneration naviaauon technologies
are "not a panacea for noise issues," Albee said they offered

a"huge potential for capaci[y, safety, and noise benefits."
The new navigation tools with their more precise hish-

uses and to devise more precise soundproofing programs for

�old ANR.
All phases of the work associated with impiementins the
system should be eligible for FAA fundine either throu�h
planning or capital a ants or through the impositian of
Passenger Facility Charges, he said
Subhead here
Development of fliDht tracks that will yield the selected
b ound tracks requires "a highly sophisticated approach to
positioninp waypoints," Albee said, adding that the process
also calls for "careful validation and FAA certification [of
the new flight tracks or flight procedures] with full partici-
pation of air camers: '
Aircraft must be appropriately eyuipped to perform the
hiah-resolution terminal azea navigation procedures the
technology requires. As more planes are equipped with
Flight Management Systems (FMS) uisina sensor pasition-
ina reliant on Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites, ;
_ said Albee, "the resolution of the fliaht tracks v�nil increase."
Expected in the near future is an ability to apply"a I.ocal .
Area Augmentation System (LAAS) to the raw GPS signaIs, �,
which Albee said will "yield the highest possible resolution" �
of flight tracks with repeatability "within a few meters of
the ternunal area." .
Asked by ANR how many FMS-eynipped planes were in
service and compatible with the new technolo�es, Albee `
said no exaci estimate was available but used Phcenix Sky
Harbor airport as an example, where he said 70 percent of .
aircraft operating there are so equipped. "We expect 85
percent at Phoenix by the phaseout [of Sta?e 2 aircraft in
2d00], he said, implying that in time such equipment will. be
standard.
Albee told the NOISE conference that he stron�ly believes
the emergina navi;ation technolo?ies "provide a genuine
opportunity for communities to confront their noise con-
cerns with tangible airspace design inputs_"
Asked whether some airports are better suited for the new
tools than others, Albee pointed to places where a consensus
has emerged about flight tracks and noise, such as the
Washington, DC, area; local governments there have agreed
that aircraft routes and noise shouid be confined over the
Potomac River. Best suited for the technolosies would be
"places - even with a hi�h density of population - that have
existino corridors of compatible uses where placement of
fliQht tracks is logical and has a good chance for appro�ial,"
- Albee said.
Any significant opposition by portions of the public to
placement of che ground tracks or to the patterns of noise
dispersion they yield, if it occurred, would of course impede
or stall the process, he pointed out.

LAAS Is Final Upgrade
Airports wishin� to use the new tools will have to make
outlays for the necessary infrasuvcture. Starting wich
existin� �round-based naviQa[ion aids and graduating to
FMS whose link to raw satelIite siDnals will yield a highe�
dejree of accuracy, the system would then be finalized with
installaaon of LAAS, which adds the capacity for highest-
resolution tracks.
The LA.AS is a transmitter/receiver computer which
receives raw satellite data, corrects iu, and sends it out to
aircraft. The LAAS equipment must be located in the line of
site of runway ends to be effective. The hardware is not yet
certified by the FAA. The a�ency is fasi-tracking the
process, Albee said, but it may not be completed for a few
years. Installation of the LAAS equipment is expected to
cost less thari $1 million.
In the meantime, however, airports can decide where they
want their ground tracks and use e�cisting technologies, such
as GPS, to enhance their accuracy. The installarion of
LAAS, however, will take the flight iracks to their Iughest
possible resolution, he said.
Albee said FAA may eventually undertake — and pay the
cost of — the up�ades as part of its move toward a compre-
hensive navigation system based on GPS — a process that
will doubdess take a very lono time. Some airports, he said,
may wish to move more quickly on their own be drawing on
other sources such as PFC's.
Putting the technolojy to use, Albee said, is a stepwise
process. Airpor[s are studied to detennine operational
constraints, aircraft equipment, and standard operating
procedures. These are then correlated with maps of sur-
roundin� land uses givinj particvlar attention to noise-
compatibte uses and features such as hiDhways, ra��lroads,
bodies of water or industrial and undeveloped land. Aiterna-
tive non-linear p ound tracks are then generated following
noise-compatible areas as nearly as possibie.
F1iQht tracks are then desi�ned that will both meet airport
needs and deliver the chosen �round tracks_ The result,
Albee report, is a set of "hi�h-resolution, predictable,
repeatable fli?ht tracks over ... non-compatible land uses"
that will "channel a hish volume of airplanes over publicly
asree-upon �round tracks accurate to within a few meters: '
The system offers multiple optional fli�ht tracks from each
runway, so traffic — and its noise — can be dispersed, if that
is the wish of the community.
ANSP, said Albee, is the oniy firm he knows of which is
presently offerine an "intearated, comprehensive" system of
hiah-resoIution traci:s chosen with the participation of
operators, communities, and FAA. Some other attempts
have been made to use the new naviQation technologies to
alleviate noise, but these have not been successful, he said.
The firm, based in I�Sinneapolis, was started in 1997 by
John Fossia, former head of the noise and satellite programs
oftice at Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport.

Aircraft over 75,OOQ pounds operatina to or from the
United States would be required to meet yet-to-be-defined
Stage 4 noise standards by the year 2012 under legislation
introduced in the House ]uly 13 by NY Reps. Anthony D.
Weiner (D) and Joseph Crowley (D), who represent the
New York City boroughs of Brook}yn, Qnezns, and the
Bron�
The bill has the bi-partisan supgort of 23 co-sQonsors
represeniing districts around the counEry impacted by
aircraft noise.
The legislation, H.R 2499 — entided the Silent Skies Act
of 1999 — would require the secretary of transportation, in
consultaaon with the International C'ivil Aviation Organiza-
tion (ICAO), to issue federal regulations setting Stage 4
noise standazds.no later than Dec. 3, 2001. The sponsors of
the bill expect ICAO to approve internationaI Stage 4 noise
standards by September 2001.
The legislation also wonld impose an interim phaseout
date of Dec. 31, 2006, by which time 50 percent of S tage 3 �
aiicraft c�rently operating would have to be phased� out of
the fleet, and it would repeal the exemption under which �
supersonic aircraft currently operate in the United States.
NotinD that the Airport Noise and Capacity Act of 1990
will resnit in the elimination of Stage 2 aircraft from the
fleet by the end of this year; ttie sponsors of the legislation
said "it is time for Congress to take the lead again."
"In the past decade, uncler Stage 3 reqniremenis, aircraft
engines have become 50 percent q�ueier," Rep. Crowley and
Weiner said in a statement announcing their le�slation.
With the Stage 3 goal achieved, they said they will now
push for further restcictions on aircrafc noise. Their bill
would reduce aircraf[ noise by an additiona140 percent, they�
estimated.
"Aircraft noise reduction efforts to date have been
important steps in quietino aircraft over New York City,"
Weiner said, `But the residents of Queens and Brooklyn
will tell you that the regalations in place do not go far
enough. Living in the shadow of an airport should not be an
ear-shattering experience. Quiet, livable nei�hborhoods
around our airports are not a luxury — ihey're a necessity."
"Now that implementation of Stage 3 technoloay is nearly
complete, it's time to raise the bar," said Rep. Crowley.
"Silent Skies will give LaGuazdia's nei�hbors another tooI
to tackle excessive aircraft noise poilution in our neighbor-
hoods, schools, and businesses.
"Thanks to the hard work of the New York City dele�a-
tion, real proa ess has already been made. �30 million in
funding [to the National Aeronautics and Space Administra-
tion] to research these quieter engines has already passed the
House," he said, "and the High Density Rule [at Newark
and 1FK airports] has been extended another 'seven years.
"The next step is passin� the Silent Skies bill to phase in

these quieter en�ines. Stase 4 technology will dramatically
improve the quality of life for residents of Queens and the
-._Bronx, like myself, who live near LaGuazdia," the congress-
nan said.
' Crowley said he reco�nizes the contributions the airlines
indusuy has made in reducing the amount of noise coming
from their aircraft, but said the number of flights keeps
increasing at major airports. "Our constituents need relief,"
he said, "and they deserve it as soon as possible."
Co-Sponsors
As of July 30, the bill had 23 co-sponsors: Reps. Peter T.

On July 29, local chapters of the Sierra Club in the San Francisco area
announced their opposition to San Francisco Intemational Airport's plans
to study ptacing two square miles of fill into San Francisco Bay for new
runways.
Nearby Oakland Intemational Airport has similar plans on the drawina
board, the environmental association said.
The Sierra Club's "No Bay Fill" campaign aims to increase public
awareness "of the perils of — and alternacives to — dumping up to 80
million cubic yazds of a sn�l unspecified fill material into the Bay: '
The Sierra Club said that "four million double-trailer dump trucks
would be needed to carry the fill. End to end, the trucks would wrap three
times around the globe or stretch 190 times between Palo Alto and Los
Angeles."
Airport Disappointed
The airport responded to the Sierra Club's announcemeni, sayino it was
"disappointed thaf'the local chapters o£the Sierra Clul� issued judgment
before there is a preferred pro�anl altemative and before the airport's
airfield developmeni program environmental studies have begun: '"We
know this project cannot move forward unless we show a si;nificant net
environmental gain for the Bay," said Airport Director John L. Marfin.
The airport has completed a feasibility study of runways in the Bay but ,
is only in the early stages of the environmental review grocess, wiuch will
involve five independent agencies including the Bay Conservation and
Development Commission and the Regional R%ater Q�ality Control Boazd
which must approve the project or it cannot go'forward.
Sierra Club officials called the proposed fill project "a band aid solution
for lono-term regional needs." The airport's own projections indicate that
demand will exceetl capa,city — even with the proposed expansion —�
around 2020. Whai is the airport going to do then, propose more fill, or
adopt the reD onal and technical solutions it presenfly disdains?"
The airport has proposed acquiring and restoring salt ponds in the Soutti
Bay to offset the loss of Bay that will occur from the fill. But the Sierra
Club said the airport•"shouldn't be able to buy the rights to destroy the
environment by promising to improve it somewhere else."
The Siecra Club said it wi]] advocate its "zero tolerance" of Bay fill at
upcoming meetings in August where the public will have an opporluniry
to voice its concerns about the airport's plans. The meetings are the first
step in the environmental review process.0

CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS
DAKOTA COUNTY, I��7NNESOTA
Airport Relations Commission Minutes
July 14, 1999
The regular meeting of the Mendota Heights Airport Relations Commission was held on
Wednesday, July 14, 1999, in the City Hall Large Conference Room, 1101 Victoria Curve. The
meeting was called to order at 7:40 p.m. The following members were present: Beaty, May,
Rosza�, and Stein. Comtnissioners Fitzer and Leuman were absent. Also present was City
Administrator Kevin Batchelder.
,.�.� . � � -
May moved and Stein seconded a motion to approve the May 19, 1999 and June 9, 1999 Airport
Commission meeting minutes as submitted. The motion was approved unanimously.
REVIEW OF AIRPORT NOISE PLAN OF ACTION
Administrator Batchelder requested that Commissioners review the City's Airport Noise Plan of
Action for update revisions over the next month. At the ne� meeting revisions will be discussed
� ) for a draft to be presented to the City Council. �
_�
Cornmissioner May suggested that Administrator Batchelder prepare a black line copy to work
from, similar to the process used last year. Administrator Batchelder agreed to go through his
notes and black line items for consideration. He noted that it has been a successful year, as a
majority of items identified in the Action Plan were accomplished or addressed in some measure
over the past year. A review of accomplishments will be submitted with the revised Plan to the
City Council.
Commissioners noted that the following priority items identified last year are included in the Part
150 Update Study: .
Equity of current runway system
Noise abatement departure profiles
MSP long-term Comprehensive Plan issues:
Expansion of existing airport
Conridar definition/compliance 'issues
Global positioning satellite technology
Noise measurement issues
High Priority
High Priority
High Priority
High Priority
Medium Priority
Medium Priority
The following priority revisions should be made:
High Priority:
Phase out of noisy Stage II aircraft
Aircraft engine run-up noise and aircraft grou.nd noise during periods of departure over
Minneapolis
Medium Prioriiy:
Prevention of third parallel runway- monitozing contract with MAC
Monitoring Issue:
Implementa.tion of MSP Mitigation Committee's Comprehensive Plan
Commissioner Roszak asked if, a MAC contract was received for the City. Administrator
Batchelder answered that the City has only a boilerplate contract. '
��,� f ` d_.. .y � n r� n �--� "r-�..�s ,CO �e �
•1 y� ��..r d+ J t Y
t
Comrnissioner Beaty added that rnonitoring the contract with MAC should be moved to a
medium priority to make sure it gets done this year or in the year 2000. Also, run-up pads should
be promoted to create a better noise environment. Ground noise is mainly caused by takeoffs �
and landings while planes are moving tl�rough the cue. '
Administrator Batchelder stated that he �vill revise the priority list as suggested above. A black
line working copy will be sent to each member prior to the next meeting for review and
recommendations of aviation requirements in the City's updated Comprehensive Plan. T`he 60-
day review process for the updated Comprehensive Plan is to begin in early September, which
means that the Commission will be able to review these issues over the next couple of ineetings.
MAC Ordinance
A new MAC ordinance will take effect January l, 2000 to prohibit the operation of aircraft
exceeding noise limits under federal law for Stage 3 aircraft.
Commissioner Stein asked how the ordinance will be enforced. Administrator Batchelder
responded that a violation would be considered a misdemeanor which carries a monetary fine.
Cominissioner Beaty noted that hush kits qualify as Stage 3 aircraft. They are very noisy, and he
would like to see them eliminated. Both hush kits and manufactured planes can qualify as Stage
3 aircraft with no distinction between the two types.
(,
�
Administrator Batchelder reported that at the last MASAC meeting, Northwest Airlines made a
motion that no disti.nction be made between manufactured and hush kit type airplanes on reports
and simply be identified as stage 2 or stage 3 aircraft. However, he and other communiiy
representatives opposed that motion, and were able to defeat it. Mendota Heights supports
identifying the distinction.
Cornmissioner Roszak stated that in Europe it is more expensive to land nosier aircraft, but it is
difficult to impose penalties in the U.S. because of the FAA. He would be interested to have
Northwest produce the legal authority or actual regulations for noise that requires hushkits to
only be Stage 3 and Stage 2 aircraft.
Commissioner Beaty sta.ted that ihe NWA hushkit aircraft are the loudest planes in the industry.
There should be a way to measure the noise planes produce.
Commissioner Stein agreed and sta.ted that a certain cut-off level should be used.
Eagan Comprehensive Plan
Administrator Batchelder reported that the City has received Eagan's updated Comprehensive
Plan for comment. As part of the process, the City will have to submit the Mendota Heights
udpated Comprehensive Plan to Eagan for their comment.
Corrunissioner Beaty noted that the policies listed on page 2 of the Eagan Plan are quite generic.
In order to avoid disputes, he would suggest that the City accept those policies.
Aelministrator Batchelder noted that Eagan has requested that ANOMS be set up at the end of the
north runway a year in advance of plane use. Eagan desires to have sound insulation fundi.ng
provided on the basis of an increase in noise, and it is their contention that such a good job has been
done with the corridor that aircraft should be kept in the corridor and not the new runway because
land uses over the new runway are not designated. It is the City's position that the entire MSP
Comprehensive Plan. is based on the new numbers. If the new runway is not used, a new
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) would have to be done.
Corrunissioner Roszak stated that if there is no harm in supparting the monitoring of ANOMS for a
year in advance, it would be a gesture of good will. Administrator Batchelder stated that he is not
opposed to monitoring ANOMS, but if it means a dilution of total dollars availabie for Part 150
sound insulation, those dollars will be spread thinner. Setting up a monitoring system for Eagan
would be something that is not being done for other cornrnunities. The increase of traffic on the
parallel runways has not been monitored; and many homes would be eligible for monitoring. He
would not want to change the rules for funding based on Eagan's theory.
Commissioner Beaty added that if monitoring is used to keep more planes on the parallel runway
and changing the planned configuration, he would be opposed to it.
Administrator Batchelder stated that while relations between the two communities have been good, ,
the 150 Study Update has brought out many differences, as everyone argues for the most �..,
advantageous position for their community. If the corridor were shifted to be over the most
commercial and industriai areas, it would be further south. If it is argued that is for the greatest
good for the greatest number, then the most appropriate location for the corridor must be examined.
He suggested getting an overlay map to see the effects. The Ciiy is arguing for equity in the
runway system, and Eagan is arguing not to move traffic to the new runway. Their Council is on
record supporting the MSP 2010 Comprehensive Plan, but they are saying that land use should
guide operations. They want to show that the change in Eagan qualifies them for home insulation
funding.. MAC and the FAA are committed to the 2010 Comprehensive Plan and the new runway,
and the final EIS is based on new runway projections. The FAA does not want to deviate from that
plan because the EIS will then become obsolete.
MAC Operations Committee Meeting.' ,_�'
Administrator Batchelder reported that the presenta.tion at the June 1 l, 1999 MASAC meeting was
disappointing with no new information. The corridor gate penetration analysis looks at headings of
90 degrees, not 95 degrees. T'he City supports the established policy boundary set by MAC of 95
degrees. It is his hope that comments will be taken into account and adjustments made to the 150
Study Update. � �
Chair Beaty stated that it appears that fihe corridor is being operated with planes sent in three
different directions and not assigned headings but rather assigned ground tracks. Planes are taking �
offmore often than every 58 seconds; it is closer to every 30 seconds. There are three tracks off
each runway which causes more noise o`ver 1Vlendota Heights.
Commissioner Roszak requested that the Commission go through a map overlay exercise regarding
land uses for the City and for Eagan. The Cornmission could put together a comprehensive
proposal that addresses all of the City's issues and further, state where the corridor should be if land .
use is going to be the guiding principle. Administrator Batchelder agreed to ask the City's GIS staff
to produce such an overlay map. The City will also provide MAC with the most updated
information.
It was the consensus of the Commission to review the overlay map at the next meeting.
Destination A.nalysis
Admiiustrator Batchelder reported that Inver Grove Heights requested a destination analysis report.
Chair Beaty noted that the top five destinations represent only 35 percent of flights. City
Administrator Batchelder stated that map operations shows these destinations are between 45
degrees and 165 degrees.
Appointments to MAC
0
Mr. Bert McKasy, an attorney from Inver Grove Heights; and Nancy Spear from New Scandia have
been appointed as new cornmissioners to MAC. The Govemor has stated that he wants an open-
minded Commission that will focus on competitive factors.
Metropolitan Council A.ir Noise Zones
Administrator Batchelder reported receipt of a letter from Mr. Peter Coyle representi.ng Hoffinan
Homes. In his letter, Mr. Coyle indicated receipt of a letter from Ted Mondale, Chairman of the
Metropolitan Council sta.ting that the Metropolitan Council would not contest the finding that
Hoffinan Homes is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan guidance. It is the City's decision,
therefore, not to seek a Comprehensive Plan arnendment.
Aclministrator Batchelder noted that this approval came on the heels of the controversy between the
Metropolitan Council and Eagan. The Nletropolitan Council wants to reward communi"ties who are
participating in the Livable Communities Act benchmarks. Before notice was received from Mr.
Mondale, the City had been told that it cannot be approved because the Metropolitan Council has
no authority to grant a variance to the Aviation Guide Plan. It was suggested that an extension be
pursued until the Part 150 Siudy is completed, and the City applied for a six-month extension. It is
hoped that a11 issues regarding the inequiiies in the corridor can be brought to the attention of the
Metropolitan Council planners so they understand the Ciiy's issues.
Corrunissioner Roszak stated that this is another reason to do an overlay map study.
�'echnical Advisors Report
• �;
Administrator Batchelder reported tliat MASAC is considering how to revise the Technical
Advisors Report. He requested Commissioners to take the draft home and for comparison with the
previous one for comment on the proposed changes. Next month's agenda will include comments
on this report.
Gate Penetration Analysis
The 95 degree MAC boundary policy resulted from the Blue Ribbon Task Force regarding non-
simultaneous departures. The corridor gate penetration analysis does not recognize that policy
boundary.
The Commission requested a spreadsheet siunrnarizing month to month comparisons.
Other Comments and Concerns
Administrator Batchelder reported that an advertisement for new members was published a
second time, as only one application was received.
The meeting adjourned at 8:50 p.m.

From: Kevin Batchelder, City Adm' '
Subject: Unfinished and New Business for August Meeting
�Y�.Y.�i ��
This memo will cover the agenda items for Unfinished and New Business and Updates.
l. Review Action Plan - At the June meeting, the 1998 Action Plan was reviewed for
accomplishments that have occurred over the last year. Due to the lack of a quorum,
their was no formal action taken by the members present to update the Action Plan,
however, it was reviewed and discussed. In July, Commission members briefly �
reviewed the Action Plan again and directed that the City Administrator prepare a
revised plan in a black lined format for their consideration in August.
This work is in progress and a black lined copy will be made available to the
Commission members on Monday evening.
2. Review Draft Air�orts and Aviation Chapter of the Com�rehensive Plan - Mr.
Steve Grittman, of Northwest Associated Consultants (NAC), met with City Council on
June 16, 1999 in a workshop to examine the draft Comprehensive Plan for the City of
Mendota Heights. Included in that draft is a chapter on Aviation.
At the workshop, City Council made final revisions to the Comprehensive Plan and
directed staff to begin the 60 day review process in early September. Prior to that date,
each of the advisory Commissions is to review pertinent portions of the plan.
Following this informal review, a formal review process with public hearings will
begin through the Planning Commission to the City Council.
At the July meeting, the wrong copy of the Aviation Chapter was provided to the
Commission. Commission members received the correct draft Aviation Chapter in
their Friday packet on July 16, 1999. Commission members should be prepared to
comment on the draft Airports and Aviation chapter. If you have misplaced your copy,
or need an additional copy for any reason, please contact Linda Shipton, or myself, and
it can be delivered on Monday with the revised Action Plan. �
3. Comments on the Technical Adviser's Report - At the July meeting, colored copies
of a draft Technical Adviser's Report was distributed to the Commission. This draft is �'.
a Technical Adviser's Report that MASAC is considering to replace the old report. It
is a new format and includes additional information. However, it also replaces some
information and deletes information that was previously supplied, or provides it in a
different format.
Commission members should be prepared to discuss what they like about the draft
report and what they would like to see carried over from the old report.
��.
l. Part 150 - Draft MSP Sco�ing Documents - Enclosed for your review is the handout
provided by MAC, at the July 27, 1999 meeting of MASAC. This document includes
each of the comments made by the MSP communities on the scope of the work that the
Part 150 Study Update should include.
2. Pro�osed GIS Analvsis of the Corridor - At the July meeting, the Commission .
inquired about performing a GIS analysis that determines where the conidor would best
fit given existing land uses and the location of existing comrnercial/industrial land uses.
Mr. Curt Wimpee, Engineering Technician, has informed �me that he has the data to
perform this analysis and that the GIS system can manipulate the locatio� of a
"conidor", with one exception. We do not have the layer of information on zoning (�
and demographics for the City of Eagan. We have discussed various methods of
obtai.ning this data., including requesting it from the County or from MAC, who has
recently requested this same data from each MSP community to perform the Part 150
Study Update.

727 with 72.5% of the total ops and with the exception of sites located in St. Paul with the
predominant aircraft being the Boeing 747 with 70% of the ops due to the nature of operations over
this area.

SUBJECT: Follow-up Crossing in the Corridor Analysis
DATE: July 19,1999
MASAC
Since its conception, the crossing in the corridor procedure was anticipated to cansolidate as
many operations as possible in the center of the Eagan - Mendota Heights Departure
Corridor. In an effort to ensure the procedure was being utilized to the fullest potential, the
MASAC Operations Committee underwent an operational_analysis to first assess the current
state of the procedure usage and then assess any- changes which may occur following the first
analysis.
At the October 9, 1998 MA.SAC Operations Committee meeting the first Crossin; in the
Corridor Analysis was presented and forwarded to MASAC. Subsequentiy that analysis was
�'" � reviewed by MASAC at the October 27, 199$ meeting. The analysis data saznple period of
\- the first analysis spanned October 1997 to Mazch 1998. In an effort to assess the operational
results of the first analysis, a follow on analysis was prepared. The .second analysis data
sample spans September 1998 to February 1999 and is identical to the first analysis in scope,
resources used and applied analytical methods facilitating the direct comparison of the most
recent analysis to the previous one for the purpose of procedural use assessment. At the April
9; 1999 MASAC Operations Committee meetina the second analysis was reviewed and
forwarded to MASAC for review. y
The second Crossina in the Corridor Analysis will be presented as part of the July 27, 1999
MASAC meetina aaenda.

follo�vina main topics:
• FICON establishes the preferred metric as DNL
• DNL characteristics
• DNL niahttime penalties
• Intearated Noise Model (INM) inputs
contour development. The second method is in response to the requests from MASAC
members to create an actual contour directly form ANOMS data. HNTB staff is in the
process of developing INM scripting to accept flight tracking information directly from
ANOMS that will utilize all available flight tracking data as the direct input for the INM
contour development.
MAC staff w-ill provide an update on any other issues related to the progress of the Part 150
Study Update at the July 27, 1999 regularly scheduled MASAC meeting.

SUBJECT: Remote Monitoring Tower (RMT) Update
DATE: July 19,1999
The RMT installation process is nearing the final stages. Cement slabs, anchoring bolts and
all the needed utilities (phone and power) have been installed at the Eagan, Inver Grove
Heights, Richfield and Anthony Middle School locations. The only remaining element at the
mentioned sites are �lie RMT poles. The comple�ty of the Ericsson Elementary School site
necessitates different installation procedures relative to the other sites. Although the Ericsson
Elementary School site is a more complex installation, significant progress has been'made on
the installation. On June 25, 1999 an access panel was installed at Ericsson Elementary
school and the installation of anchoring bars, railings and a ladder was completed on July 9,
1999.
The RMT poles have been delivered and pole installation for all the site is scheduled to be
complete by July 30, 1999. Larson Davis representatives will be on site to install a11 of the
monitoring hardware Aujust �& 6, 1999. Due to prior commitrnents and schedule conflicts
Larson Davis representatives could not make it on site prior to the mentioned dates.
As a resuit of the available Larson Davis installation. dates, the project completion date is
anticipated to be August 6, 1999, although the acceptance testing will be completed as
scheduled by Auaust 20, 1999. Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) staff will keep
MASAC informed on any changes in the project completion dates. An update will be
provided by MAC staff at the July 27, 1999 MASAC meeting.

Sound Abatement
Dear Sirs,
We have been living in Scuthwest Minneapolis �since 1935. When wz first moved into our
present residence noise from air traffic was quite light and one would never have anticipated
the incredible increase in volume and noise of fiights. Over the years we have called you
any number of times to compiain. We have had .members of your staff out here with
equipment to measure noise as long as twenty years ago to no avail.
It has become so bad that our light buibs shake loose in the sockets. We have a lovely
three season porch which is quite unusabie when the pianes are taking off or landing directly
overhead every thirty seconds. We have to interrupt telephone conversations while a plane
� goes overhead. We hear jets taking off from sunrise to aft2r we go to bed at night. We have
lost good neighbours who moved to other parts of the metro area so as to get relief from the
� noise.
We have heard endless solicitous promises from our politicians and from your pub;ic
relations peopie about quieter engines and how hard you are working to remedy the noise
paliution affecting residents in this area. You will forgive us if we are not convinced of your
sincerity or integrity since the problem seems to be getting worse not better. (We know that
there is no wayeur public officiais are going to ever stand up to Northwest Airiines, they are
too afraid of loosing the tax base.) �
Consequentiy, we would like to hear from you about having sound proofing work done at our
home. I know it can be done because we have stayed at quiet hotels situated right in the
airports. (Gatwick & Heathrow Hilton, Frankfort, Tampa, etc.)
We pay very substantiai property taxes and think we deserve something back to help abate
the dreadfui roar of jet engines. We fly frequently ourselves so we realise the importance of
the airport however we do not feel it is fair that we have to suffer for a convenience that
benefits persons in other parts of Minnesota as much if not more than it beneFits us.
Since�ly yours,

7. MASAC Communications Proposal
>
Chad Leqve, Technical Advisor discussed the MASAC Comrnunicatons Proposal presented to
and approved by the MASAC Operations Committee at the June 1 l, 1999 meetina. Wendy Burt,
MAC Public Information O�cer, developed the proposal as a result of the May 9, 1999 MASAC
Operations Meeting highlightina communication goals, key audiences, 1999 tactics, year 2000
tactics and an estimated cumulative budget of $99,290 as follows:
1999
❑ MAC Website —consolidation and continued enhancement of existing
Environment website information and functionality. $ 5,000
❑ Ciiy Newsleiter —Regularly send MASAC information to community and
organizations for inclusion in their own newsletters. $ 4,090
2000
❑ Direct Mail—Pubtish a flyer or postcard that can be direct mailed to residents in
MASAC member communities. $40,000
❑ MASAC Community Newsletter —Publish a quarterly newsletter with new
developments and updates on MASAC
pro�ams and distribute it to key audiences
including requests from the direct mailer. $21,000
❑ Community NewspaperAdvertisemeni—Periodically produce and place ads
' ! about MASAC programs and meetin�s
in comrnunity newspapers. $25,200
❑.Publicity —Develop and place news stories about MASAC programs in
communiiy newspapers. $ 9,000
Mr. Leqve eYplained the implementation considerations of establishing ultimate goals and the
desired outcome of the communications efforts, solidify target recipients, c�mmunication media
content and format, staffing and establishing a reasonable communication tiudaet.
Chairman Mertensotto asked for 6-8 volunteers for a subcommittee to meet with Wendy Burt to
establish priorities in the event the entire estimated commutative budget is not approved. The
followina members volunteered forthis committee:
Joe Lee, Minneapolis Lance Staricha, Eagan
Dean Lindberg, Minneapolis Mark Hinds,. Richfield
1Vlike Cramer, Minneapolis Jil1 Smith, Mendota HeiQhts
Neil Clark, Minneapolis Petrona Lee, Bioomin�on
Dick Saunders; Minneapolis
Jol�n Nelson. Bloominaton, suQ;ested volunteers for the subcommittee revie�v documentation
from the Padillia Speer Beardsly Report which gave some direction �vith respect to ��vhat types of
communications were viewed by the genera) broad membersl7ip as areas �vhich necessitated
improvement, follo�v the MASAC Operations Committee template to come up �vith a business
plan, give a lot of attention to the e;cisting infrastructure by plu��ing into existinQ city newsletters
and think about the demands being placed on MAC Staff and hotiv to adjust for these demands by
C
considerinQ the recommendation that the MAC Commission add a staff person whose task would
be to assist in this endeavor on either a full or part-time basis.
Orientation Topic — Internet Technical Information Dissemination Capabilities
Chad Leqve, Technical Advisor gave a presentation on the Aviation Noise Program Website and
some of the new advances made on this Website in an effort to provide a more interactive and
real-time information interface. He went on to state that all documents are available in a PDF
format facilitating more e�cient downloading and printing capabilities as well as allowing staff
to provide both current and historical (12 month) Technical Advisors Reports, Corridor Reports
and special analyses. Mr. Leqve continued by explaining the new level of functionality that was
added to allow users to actually interact with various databases containing operationaI
information derived from ANOMS. This allows for an estremely high level of unrestricted
fle:cibility when submitting a query to the ORACLE database tables. Mr. Leqve completed the
presentation with a live demonstration via a laptop computer and a telephone line, showing the
previously discussed capabilities of the Aviation Noise Pro�ram Website.
Mark Hinds, Richfield, stated he felt it would be easier to look at certain types data if it was
available in a spreadsheet format instead of a PDF format. '
Mr. Leqve explained that MAC Staff was hoping the presentation would produce that kind of
feedback to enable tailoring applications around rvhatever type of information the general
populous would tike to access from the system. He went on to state that data would be available
for the previous 2-3 months and the most current information would be a one week period of time
to allo�v information to mature in compliance with the agreement with the FAA not to provide
real-time data. He also alleviated concerns about unrestricted information, unrestricted meaning
that any information in the database is accessible in a read-only format. A firewall has been set �: �::':.
up to prevent anyone from getting into the network thus preventing unauthorized changes or �=�:::;:,
deletions from the database. "
Chairman I�lertensotto inquired about documentation to show the number of times and how often
the information is accessed and about ways to measure the use of the new Website to make sure
it's use increases, justifyinQ the number of hours put into enhancin� it. He sugaested informing
the various cities, via a mailing, indicating the availability of this Website.
Mr. Leqve stated Communications Proposal (discnssed earlier) included a direct mailin�
reflectin� the different resources available to the general public including the new Website.
Glenn Strand, I��inneapolis eYpressed concerns about tl�e fact of makin� information more useful
to t11e NIaSAC aroup and how to put information into a format that is ]ess complex thus
increasing the internal information process, has not been formally discussed. He su�gested
developing a smal] task force, no more than 6 members, to make recommendations to the
committee on tl�is issue. Iv1r. Strand's main concern was being overwhelmed with the capabilities
of nzore and navre information verses what information �vas necessary.
Cl�ad Leqve, Technical Advisor stated MAC staff's intent is to provide a means for people,
includin, ��IASAC tilembers and the aeneral public, to access information that is available in a
�vay that best suits their needs. The demonstration �vas meant to inform the MASAC body of the
capabilities tl�at, ���l�en used in the rijht manor, provides a lot of information interactively, to
people botl� internally and externally.
Chairman Mertensotto requested, and Mr. Strand accepted to canvas for three more persons to sit
on the cornmittee he recommended and bring back a proposal for a committee to the fulI MASAC
� body.
Neil Clark, Minneapolis, asked if anyone knew where the data from the chart distributed at the
last MASAC meeting showing average departure delays came from and where he could get more
data. Cindy Greene, FAA su�gested it was the SIMMOD analysis presented by Kim Hughes,
HNTB that Mr. Clark was remembering from the last meeting. John Nelson, Bloomington
pointed out the Mendota Heights Corridor briefing document, submiited by HNTB and included
in the mailing, contains a section called Limitations of the Corridor which discusses the
SIMMOD analysis.
Mark Hinds, Richfield, asked MAC Staff if they could eventually put up the GIS shape files so
the City of Richfield could put them into their own GIS applications to enable using them in their
analyses.
9. Closin� of Comment Period for the Minneapolis Straiaht-out Departure Procedure
Chairman Mertensotto asked for any comments on the Minneapolis Straight-out Departure
Procedure indicating written commen�s would be accepted for the next 72 hours providing they
are dated June 22, 1999. Three written comments were accepted to be forwarded to the FAA; no
verbaI comments were made.

I 0. Report of the Low Frequencv Noise Policv Committee Meetina
Dick Saunders, Minneapolis, stated the meetin� is scheduled for tomorrow June 23, 1999,
therefore he had nothing to report.
1 1. Report of the MAC Commission MeetinQ
Chairman i�lertensotto briefed members on the N1AC Commission Meeting. Topics included:
y Dennis Probst, Director of Landside Development reported on the plans that have been drawn
up in reaards to the Hubert H. Humphrey Terminal:
� S Qates �vill be available to be used by different types of aircraft.
a- There will be 42 tichet counters.
-r Anticipated openin� date is tl�e year 2001.
-r Pro��isions for liaht rail transit at both terminals will be made.
a- Tl�e anticipated completion date for the construction of the Lindberg terminal is the year
2003.
-� Computer generated desi�n sketches of tivhat the terminaf will look like from the e,cterior
«�ere available.
� Tabled the NIAC and Nlall of America Exchan�e AQreement on the basis of neaotiations
bein� incomplete. � �
�- Discussed the purchase of wetlands mitigation and credits needing to be reestablished.
� A motion was made to approve the transfer of gate 43 to United Airlines.
n Minnesota Legislature authorized the MAC Commission to sell $30 million in bonds to cover
the cost in regards to the mitigation procedures for the development of 17/35 runway. A
request was made to the FAA to review the Revenue Diversion Policy making sure the selling
of the Richfield bonds and repayment by Airport Commission would not be a violation of this
policy.
12. Technical Advisor's Report
Shane Vandervoort, Technical Advisor, briefed members on the executive summary report
hi�hlightina:
�- MSP May Fleet Mix percentages reflected an increase of 3.6% from April.
�- The Hushkitted DC9, Airbus 320, Boeing 757 and MD80 represent the bulk of the aircraft
operations at MSP in May.
� The complaint summary indicated an increase in complaints from April to May of 312 which
is consistent with last years numbers.
D Minneapolis had the bulk of the complaints, the time of day for the complaints was evenly
distributed and the highest concentration for the nature of the complaints was excessive noise.
D All operations for the month of May remained consistent with April. There was a slight
increase in cross wind runway usage due to the temperature increase from April to May
which required longer distances for take-off.
D- Overall Corridor operations decreased slightly due to the increased operations on Runway 22.
� The overall percentages in May increased by 8% for departure operations and 6% more
arrival operations over Minneapolis from April to May, 1999 which was a result of the
chanae in winds. �;--:
A Corridor operations were comprised of 47.0% of total arrivals and 53.6% of total departures �:i:_:::
representing a decrease in arrivals by 1.9% and a decrease in departures by 11.4%.
> Monthly DNL levels per RMT were consistent with the previous months levels.
� Top Ten Noise events were very similar to April, 1999.
Joe Lee, Minneapolis, asked why so fe�v departures go off from runway 4(0.8%) and why would
Environmental Impact Statement be required to increase the use of runway 4/22 but operations
off of runtivay 12/30 can be increased without this environmental documentation
Cl�ad Leqve, Technical Advisor, explained some of the answers lie in the confi�uration of the
airport at NtSP and prevailinQ nature of operations in and out of the terminal area. A recent
departure analysis from MSP showing where aircraft are actually exiting the terminal area and
lleading en route to their final destinations, revealed over 50% of the operations are to the South/
Soutl�east. Optimizing the operational efficiency of the airport, the use of runway 22 for
departure operations plays into the nature of operations out of MSP and their final destinations.
Cindy Greene, FAA stated Runway 4 is not optimal for departures due to the wind component.
Wl�enever tl�e tivind alfows departures from Runway 4, it also allows departures over the corridor
usin�, Run�vays l2R/12L, �vhich is ideal. When the wind favors Runway 22 or forces departures
oi�to�Runway 22, it also a(lo�vs departures on Runways 30L/30R. Based on the way the wind
flows. IntroducinQ Runway 22 is preferred when traffic allows. She went on to state, to safely
reconfiQure the airport to allo�v for noise abatement, the 30-minute period of slotiv departure
traffic ( l 0 airplanes or less) needed to allow the controllers to direct all airplanes ta�iina on the
aroul�d to s�vitcl� from one end of the airport to the other, is rare durin� the day (approYimately
two per day).
Chairman Mertensotto pointed out Mr. Lee's question was the need for an Environmental Impact
I Statement to increase the use of Runway 4, asking if there was criteria for the need of an
Environmental Impact Staternent standard and published available for review.
Ms. Greene explained an Environmental Impact Statement is needed whenever you change a
current airtra�c procedure, however, there is no tool within the FAA that requires an
Environmental Impact Statement due to increased operations of a current airtra�c procedure.
Chairman Mertensotto reemphasized the minimal 30-minute periods to change the departure
procedures inquiring what happens when the wind changes and there are more than 10 planes
departing? Ms. Greene pointed out that if necessary, for safety reasons, the direction of departure
needs to be changed with our without a 30 minute window.
Chairman Mertensotto requested if additional information becomes available regarding this topic,
that it be brought to the full MASAC body.
Jolzn Nelson, Bloomington, asked when there is something exiraordinary going on at the airport
that chan�es the way the FAA utilizes the airport because of thin�s such as temperature
considerations, taxiway construction, etc., a very specific, brief statement in the Technical
Advisors Report to describe what the nature of that construction is, would be all that is needed to
inform the community and avoid increased complaints.
Dean Lindberg, Minneapolis, asked what percentage of the fleet of DC9's are hushkitted and if
they are really quieter. Jennifer Sayre, NWA, stated in the month of May there were 172 DC9's
with 149 hushkitted. Shane Vandervoort, Technical Advisor, noted 75% of alI DC9 operations at
�� i MSP in the month of May were hushkitted.
13. Persons WishinQ to Address the Council
There were no persons wishina to address the council.
14. Items not on the AQenda
John Nelson, BloominQton, stated Melissa Scovronski's presence at the meetina reminded him
tl�at sl�e has served the MASAC Committee for several years, and althouah she is on a temporary
assiQnment, she may not return if she accepts a position elsewhere, y Mr. Nelson su�gested
commendina Mrs. Scovronski for her service to the orQanization, which he felt, was outstanding.
C1�airmail �Iertensotto pointed out she is on(y on temporary leave and it is very possible she may
return, �vhich he would also very much like to see since she has done such an excellent job.
Otl�er MASAC members also e:cpressed to Dick Keinz, IY1AC of their desired to have Itilrs.
Scovronski return.

questions about thz tour askin� members to call the Aviation Noise Department tivith any questions that may
arise throuQhout the month to ensure any response or presentation is added to the ne;ct agenda.
Dick Saunders. Niinneapolis, asked how often do FAA representatives inspect the facility. Chairman Salmen
e�plained tliat alon; �vith the reQularly scheduled inspections, they could show up anytime unannounced. He
went on to state. not all inspections take place on-site, tivhen a plane lands at another airport, FAA
representatives cou(d be l��aitinQ to do a spot maintenance inspection of the plane almost instantly.

AGENDA
Chairman Salmen asked for additions or corrections to the June 1 1,1999 MASAC Operations Meetina
Ivlinutes. Kevin Batchelder, l�lendota Heiahts, indicated on pa�e 4, in the first sentence of the second
paraaraph, the "corridors ability" should read the "corridors inability". Mr. Batche3der also indicated in
the third line from the bottom of the same paragraph, where it reads "they are still using FAA
operations", it should read "they are still using head-to-head operations". Jamie Verbru��e, Eaaan,
noted in his comment on paae 7, he wanted to add that he discussed his viewpoint for the need to
develop a philosophy among all the airport users about dispersion versus concentration and �vhat the best
overall approach would be for noise abatement procedures. The minutes of the June 11, 1999 MASAC
Operations meetina were then approved as corrected.
AZRPO�YT CONSTRUCTIDN UPDATE
Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, informed members that the airport reconstruction project is
proceeding on course with a total of 15 days ]ost due to weather. Construction of the first 8 concrete.
lanes has begun. When the lanes are completed, they will fill in between anticipating it will take a tota]
of approximately 6 weeks for the 8 lanes to be completed. The underb ound utility lines are being
finished up at this time and there is some construction adjacent to Runway 4/22 for underground
utilities.
Mark Hinds, Richfield, asked if they were still on schedule with the days lost to weather. Mr. Fuhrmann
e:cplained they were able to adjust some of the work schedules to catch up.
I�evin Batchelder, Mendota Heiahts asked if there is construction activity ongoing with the North/South =..
Runway at this time. Mr. Fuhrmann stated current activity includes continued clearing of trees and
shrubbery as �vell as some additional gradina. The majority the trees have been taken out in the last 3-4
�veeks near tl�e Nfi�1DOT Maintenance Facility. There are still a fe�v trees left to be removed in those
areas and there is sorne initial arade work that will be completed yet this year. Mr. Batchelder asked if
the ivfNDOT building is under construction. Mr. Fuhrmann informed him that the 1v1NDOT buildin� is
complete and an open house should be cominc up soon.
Jamie VerbruQae, Eaaan, referred to the construction of the North/South Runway inquiring if this year
��as indeed the last year to use Rich Acres Golf Course. Mark Hinds, Richfield, stated the City of
Richfield has been notified and parts of Rich Acres have been blocked off and will be under construction
ne�t year. Tl�e par 3 and tl�e driving range may be of use for one more year.
R��IT SITE UPD�TE
Chad Leqve, MAC, briefed members on the RMT construction update including an actual picture of an
RNIT site, throu�h a PowerPoint presentation.
�- Leases �vith �•linneapolis Public Schools have been executed and approved.
-r Cement slabs and utility runs have been completed for the Richfield, EaQan, inver Grove
Hei�zhts and Anthonv Elementarv School sites. y

�- Utility access l�as been installed at Ericsson Elementary School and installation of mountinj
brachets will beQin today, July 9, 1999.
�- RMT poles were de(ivered July 7, 1999, installation will beQin the week of July 12, 1999 on a
site by site basis. �
�- Project completion date should be around July 30, 1999.
a- Acceptance testina around August 20, 1999.
PART 1 SO UPDATE PROGRESS �ZEVIEW
Roy Fuhrmanr% 1N1AC, explained a fairly leno-thy chronology for some of the events that have taken
place concerning the Part 150 Study Update that was included in the MASAE Operations packet. Other
developments include:
� Originally it was anticipated MAC Staff would be able to present the base case contours and
have a public meeting in the month of July, 1999 in which the ne�v 1999 base case contour
would be rolled out. But, as a result of the comments, questions and concerns about the
accuracy of the contours and how appropriate information is accumulated and entered, that date
had to be pushed back to enable reprogramming�of the input process for TNM to accommodate
flight tracks as they come from ANOMS. Many community members question the ability of the
historical �vay of Qeneratin� INM flight tracks, to produce a representative contour. In an
attempt to provide an e:ctremely accurate contour, by addressing all the flight tracks, a
standardized method is bein� implemented to obtain and feed direct input from an ANOMS
database table that has all the coordinates for each given fli�ht track as input for the INM
version 6.0 proQram and contour development.
�- Staff anticipated the middle of August, 1999 as..the time frame for a public meeting and a notice
�vill be sent out to the surroundin� communities to notify them of the exact date and time.
� Ivlost communities should have received a letter requesting a land use contact person and the
most recent di�ital data that the city has available to be provided to MAC on or before of July
30th, � 999.
�- Communities should espect a call from Pete Rofuss, HNTB GIS representative workinQ closely
�vitl� Nathan Reis, MAC to input the noise sensitive areas such as schools, daycare facilities,
etc., as �vell as askinQ for some population data information.
-� From the June 1999 MASAC Operations meetinQ came a lot of questions concerning the
corridor. Tl�e need is to determine tivhere, throuQhout the elements of the Part 150 Study Update
Scope, tl�ese items are identified and to deve[op an outline for notification of �vhen these
anstivers will be �iven.
�I'he question of the location for the Public meetin� and if the meetinQ provides an opportunity for public
comment on tl�e information gathered to date does not preclude future public comment arose. Mr.
Ful�rmann speculated it �vould be off-site but �vas unsure exactly ���here the location would be and that
there �vould be multiple rneetinas and /or opportunity for community involvement. The content �vould
be the base case contour informing the public of the contour starting point.
TECHNIC.AL .AD t�ISORS REPORT & CORRIDOR RE vISIONS
Chad Leqve, i�IAC_ presented the proposed revisions of the new ?echnica) Advisors Report and

C" �
�
� Corridor Report. After an in-depth page by page briefing, comments �vere requested.
QUESTIONS ��1D ANSWERS
Kevin Batchelder, Mendota Heiahts:
Q. Explain the deviations from centerline on the gate charts in the Corridor Report_
A. Mr. Leqve and Mr. Fuhrmann e;cplained to members how to read and understand the charts.
Q. What about the readability of the color graphics (charts, graphs, etc.) after making black and
white copies for constituents.
A. MAC StafF suQaested that email or disk files could be sent to both members and their
constituents (if so desired) for color reproduction or to be saved on the computer, which was
vie��ved as a Qreat idea.
Q. What is the procedure for the revision process from this point?
A. Chairman Salmen responded that this is a first look at the revisions requiring sug�estions to
be incorporated and brou�ht back to the MASAC Operations Committee for further review
and discussion.
Ron Glaub, FA.A:
Q. Does soutl� of the Runway 30L mean south of the centerline of the localizer or south of the
beam?
A. Ivlr. Leqve stated it means the southern boundary of the localizer beam width.
Q. How much of the Technical Advisor Report and Corridor Report information will be available
on the Internet?
A. Ivlr. Leqve etplained tI�e intent is to make all the information from botll reports available on
the Internet.
Jamie Verbru,Qe, Eaaan:
Q. Ho�� are the comments goina to be considered? Are they goinQ to be addressed with the aroup
on a yea or na�� basis? �
A. b-Ir. Leqve suaQested to take the comments from this meetina and incorporate them into the
report, brin;in� the revised draft back to the body for review and take that draft format copy
to �I,-�S�C for comments. Chairman Salmen asked to hiQhlight the chanaes ��•ithin the
Reports as «ell as incorporate an additional paQe to list the chan�es made so even•one
viewinQ the draft will be able to easily find the chanQes.
SUGGESTIONS
Glenn Strand, 1�Iinneapolis:
�1 Add a visual Qate for the specific corridor side beinQ analyzed.
Mark Hinds, Richfield:
�1 Requested a map or summary pa�e to show the locations, within the Metro area, of where the
complaint calls are coming from to help track specific aircraft causin� the most noise problems.
�-� Page 7; add a reason code for delays to let people know why there are so many nighttime flights
includinQ a previous month for comparison. He felt it was very important to the communiiy to
have it explained to them exactly why an aircraft flew overhead at 2:00 a.m. waking them up.
�-- Mr. Fuhrmann e:cplained MAC does not have the information indicating why aircraft were
delayed, especially on Staae III aircraft, and there are no a?reements with airlines requiring
them to provide a reason why they flew a Sta�e II aircraft during the nighttime hours.
Cliairman Salmen indicated it is costly to operate off schedule which would ne�-ate the
t#eory that airlines don't care about the individuals affected by ni�httime operations and the
administrative burden that would be placed on MAC Staff and the air carriers for reporting
specifics and compiling it into a report would be monstrous. He went on to state l�IAC
� � Staff, throuQh lease aQreements, is taking a very proactive role in reducin� the number of
niQhttime operations indicating man-hours spent in that capacity should be the hiaher
priority.
Jamie Verbru��e, Eaaan:
r-c- Incorporate links to an explanation page providina specific detailed definitions of the
information provided within.
Chairman Salmen:
�-� On paae 4 of the Technical Advisors Report, the breakdo�vn at the bottom of the paQe should
reflect StaQe II and Staae III aircraft versus Stage II, Stage III, StaQe lII Manufactured and a
total StaQe III aircraft.y Tl�ere is no legal definition to differentiate between those aircraft
manufactured as Staae II1 and those that are husl�ed, aerodynamically adjusted, etc.
•� Kevin $atchelder, Mendota HeiQhts and Jamie Verbru�ae, EaQan stated the community
prefers to l�ave this jnformation noted as is and would prefer to k-eep that way.
�-- Nlarl: Hinds, Ricf�field, su�aested a disclaimer to clarify the data.

�-- Bob Johnson, MBAA, reminded members the revisions are only a draft that other
individuals, not present, need to review and provide sug�estions before any final decision
should be made.
� Glenn Strand, Minneapolis, also stated the revision process needs time to evolve, a�reeinQ
that there are some misleading perceptions about the difference between the staQes of
aircraft within the general public. He suggested listing the aircraft in the report in an order
reflectina some measure of noise output to evaluate this perception for the general public.
�-- Mr. Fuhrmann sujjested as a compromise, presentin� comparisons between the staQes of
aircraft to obtain a better understanding of exactIy what the impacts are and to give an actual
"sort by aircraft levels" in the Technical Advisors Report. The values of Part 36 could be
used as a link to this information to show these comparisons.
KEVIN BATCHELDER MA.DE THE MOTION SECOYDED BY JAM� VERBRUGGE TO
KEEP REPORTING TI3E INFORMATION ON T'�3E BOTTOM OF PAGE 4, MSP AIl2.CRAFT
FLEET COMPOSITION, IN T'HE SAME FORMAT. AFTER A LENGTHY DISCUSSION, NO
DECISION WAS M�E. THE MOTION WAS NOT RECOGI�tIZED AND TIiEREFORE, NO
VOTE TAKEN.
� In this same report, the chart does not reflect the number of aircraft that were originally
manufactured as Staae II aircraft that have been re-enained.
�' Chairman Salmen noted the following written comments from Neil Clark, Minneapolis and the Air �
� Traffic Control ?ower Mana�er: (Enclosed) =_
Neil Clark, Minneapolis, per a �vritten comment:
r� A trend analysis or a 180-day regression analysis to be added to the Technical Advisors Report
for tl�e I2i�IT's reflecting a trend for a particular RMT over a period of time. (A sample chart
�vas included with the last MASAC Ivleeting Packet.)

c-�== Corric3or gate penetration analysis document. Could a method of indicatinQ distance from
the airport be included in the diaaram of fliaht tracks? It is hard to determine how far the airport
turns are bein<z made.
�-- i�lr. Leqve nuted the scale already provided in the diagram measures the distance from ihe
airport. It ���as mentioned that the addition of the previously discussed gates �i�ould help
clarif�� this information and it was decided the addition of rinas to show distance �voufd onlv.

clutter the diaaram therefore, causina confusion.
c=�' Corridor gate penetration analysis document. The paQe that addresses jet departures north of
the PROPOSED 9�-degree corridor is misleadinQ to the public and a source of unfair criticism
for MSP Air Tra�c. This topic has been address previously and the Corridor Report reflects
the actual 090 degree northern conidor boundary.
�' Corridor gate penetration analysis document. Is the portion of this document that addresses
early turnouts at cross-purposes with the current community emphasis of turning as soon as
practical after three miles?
�•- Kevin Batchelder, Mendota Heights explained there was a change in the wordin� of the
Tower Order several years a�o making it very clear to Inver Grove Heights, at that time,
that it was not Qoing to mean changing the operations of the aircraft, simply a sementies
chanQe to the Tower Order. He felt that should be su�cient guidance for the FAA.
Durin� the discussion about the revisions of the Technical Advisor and Corridor Reports, the followin�
comments and questions were raised:
Kevin Batchelder, i�fendota Heights stated it was his understandin� that there are no penalties for Stage
II fliQhts durina the niahttime hours asking to have an e:cplanation of the voluntary provisions and
IvIAC's ne�v ordinance beainning January ], 2000.
( � Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, explained MAC discourages the schedulin� of Stage II operations
during the niahttime hours and has sent letters reflecting this for operations that have occurred during the
nighttime hours. Certain airlines such as NW?. have agreements not to sclzedule StaQe II operations
during the niahttime hours, however, exceptions such as weather delays, ATC delays, mechanical
delays, etc. are taken into consideration. He also stated Sun Country has a penalty for operations of
StaQe II aircraft durina the niahttime hours in their lease, esplaining a report is submitted to MAC on a
quarterly basis witl� any e�cep#ions that take place. After goin� throuQh the audit process, fines are
assessed for noncompliant operations. Other airlines, such as 7WA, United, etc., are on a voluntary
aQreement and tlZe airlines reco�nize the fact that there are operations that take place durinQ the
niahttime hours and it is a noise intrusive problem, ho�vever, the agreement is voluntary. He went on to
state, beginnin� January l, 2000, all airlines �vill be required to be in compliance ��vith Staae III
operations accordina to ivSAC's new ordinance and Federal Law.
Chairman Salmen reminded members the topic of discussion was the 7echnical Advisors Report not the
niahttime noise rule and data contained within. He also noted the fact that the data contained in the
Technical Advisors Report is actual information not scheduled information.
Jamie Verbruave, Eaaan, asked if there is a way to report scheduled fliQhts versus actual fli�hts in a
timelv fasl�ion. l��tr. Ful�rmann eYp(ained MAC doesn't receive quarterly reports from all airlines and it
�vould take numerous man hours to manuaUy go through 1.638 scheduled fliQhts versus actual fli�hts on
a monthlv basis. y �

� Bob Johnson. MBA.A stated he thought the purpose of the revisions to the reports were supposed to try
to reduce and c(arify the amount of information contained within. He felt the layman viewinQ this
technical information would be more confused due to not bein� able to understand its meanina. �
Glenn Strand, Minneapolis, supported 1ti1r. Johnson's concerns addin� the need to determine what is
critical information, internal information and e:cternal information e:cplaining the revisions are a work in
progress needin� both additions and subtractions.
Dick Saunders, Minneapolis, suagested members think back to why the these reports were oriainally
developed and to take into consideration the wide variety of people who will be viewina this information
and their individual levels of understanding. �
Ron Glaub, FA.A, stated the original document developed 20 years ago was a 3-page document with an
original purpose to summarize tlle complaint information that was available at the time. He went on to
state in reQard to the concerns about the niQhttime Stage II operations, the percentaQe of Stage II
operations will continue to drop a little bit every month until the end of the year when the number will
ao to "0". He also commented that the summary of why each aircraft operates at night, requested for
eYplanation to the communities, would be a 30 pa�e document and would be more Y�ours than any one or
two people could do in a month.
Glenn Strand, Ivfinneapolis, stated the priority of the group is to determine what the noise is on the
Qround suaaestinQ to look back at the real RMT numbers to determine which aircraft reflect the hiQhest
noise problems. �

It is my understandin; that on the a;enda for the ne:�t l�L-�Sa.0 Operations Commit�ee meeting,
scheduled for Jul� 9, is a revie��r oi the "Technical �dvisor's Report". linforzunately, Gindy Greene.
the I�ISP �.ir Trafnc Control technical advisor to this a oup, is unable to atzend this mestin�.
Because the information provided to yL�SAC in the Technical �ldvisor's Reporz each month is
mainly derived �rom 3RTS data. tower runwac use logs, and a review af �ir Traffic Procedures and
noise abatement compliance, tve would lik.e to offer the follo�ving comments for discussion at the
July 9 meeting:
l. '` �V�IL_�.BLE TI�4IE FOR Rt;�+`i�ir:�Y USE" P�GE. The title of this page ofien causes
confusion and misunderstandin� as to �r•hat these staciscics are. These f gures are derived �om the
co�ver run�vay use log. The run«•acs liszed are also the ones. adtierzised on the :�TIS. � au?�esiion
�vould be �o label this page: a) �TIS ad�erzised runwati in use. or b) :�ir Trafiic selected runway in
use.
2. RU�`�i%�.Y CLOSURES. On the pages that address runwa� availability and run�vay use, could
there be reierence made to run�va� closures that make the runway unavailable? This is especially
imoortanc iniormacion �vhen a runwac closure prevents the use of a noise abatement confi�uraiion.
as you are a���are, run�vay closures ofzen occur ai night and for up to sis hours at a time.
3. CORRIDOR G_-�TE PENETR�TION :�i`iAI.�YSIS DOCUiYIENT. Could a method oi
indicacing clistance irom the airport be included in the diagram of flight tracks'. It is hard co
decermine ho«• rar the airport turns are being made.
s. CORRIDOR G�TE PEiYETR:�TION ��1ALYSIS DOCU:�IENT. The paCe ihat addresses �et
deoarture� r.ortn of the PROPOSED 9� degree corridor is misleading co the public and a sot:xce oi
unfair crit�c��m ior �ISP �ir Traf�ic. Tne 9� degree norzhern boundary �vas proposed in tne earl�-
1990s and determined un*easiole o�• che F_�.-�. It ha� never been implemented. yet iniormacion on

documenc �:.ould. ac mo�t. pro��ide tniormation on jets north of the actual north bounda::� oi 90
iil;T2�S.
o. CORRIDOR G�TE PEiYETR�,TION �v4L,YSIS DOCIT'iYLENT. Is the portion oi this -
document that addresses early turnouts at cross-pusposes with the current community emnhasis of
curn.ing as soon as praczicat after three miles? �.ltnough "the main use of all of this iniormacion is
public a�vareness, it is the oniy document and fact gaihering tool that allows feedback io the �ISP
�ir Traftic Control Tower on how �vell we are doing in the noise abatement arena. � high emphasis
is placed on noise abatement, with supporting documentation provided by the I�L�SAC document:..
This information is used for controIler and supervisor briefings. Controllers are provided
information on how oiten aircrafi �vere turned ioo early, and are then instrucied to turn them as
close to three miles as practical. tiVith the two goals almost in conf7ict, it is an almost imnossible
task to place an adequate emphasis on both actions to allow for a great level of success at eicher. It
appea.rs the recent emphasis is to comply with turning airerafi as soon as practical after three
miles. It may be time to move the focus from analyzing ihe earl� turnoui compliance, to iocusing
on turnin� aircrafi a� soon as practical.

June I999 Runwav Use Summary All Operaiions and Carrier Tet Operatzons � �'
During June 1999 runway use for all operarions showed an increase of departure traffic on 22 compared to May `-
1999 with the bulk of the a.rrival traffic remaining concentrated on the parallel runways. The use of the crosswind
runway increased by 26.5% more departures on 22 while arrivals on the crosswind runway decreased frorn June
1999 to May 1999 on runway 04 by 0.�%. Operations over St Paul remained consistent unth May 1999. Parallel
runway operations represented a predominate Southeast traffic flow with 10% more operations arriving 12L&R
compared to 30L&R. Departure operations off the parallels were down because of increased use of 22 resulting
from the summer construction.
Carrier jet operations also followed the same trend with overall comdor usage decreased from May 1999 to June
1999 while the parallels still supported the bulk of the traffic. Use of the crosswind runway increased frorn May
1999 to 7une 1999 with a 28.3% increase of departures on runway 22. Arrivals on the crosswind runway
decreased from May 1999 to June 1999 on runway 04 by 0.5%. Corridor operations dropped from May 1999 with
12L&R departure operations decreasing by 21.6% and 30L&R arrival operations increasing by 0.7°Io. Overall
Parallel runway use favored Southeast traffic flows with 11.4% more arrivals on 12L&R compared to 30L&R and
1.3% more departures on 12L&R compared to 30L&R.
June I999 Nighttime Runway Use Summary All D,�erations and Carrier Tet Operations

June 1999 RM'1' DNL Level Summarv
The above monthly DNL assessment per RMT site is consistent with the actual runway use for the month of June
1999. The higher DNL levels are for the most part concentrated off the ends of the pazallel runways and the
departure end of runway 22 due to this months runway usage. The St Paul RMT sites represent some of the �
lowest DNL values in the report. �.
June I999 Ton Ten Noiss Events Per RMT Summarv
The top ten noise events and the event ranges at each RMT for June 1999 are very similar to the information
collected in May 1999. The top noise events at each RMT were comprised of 89.6% departure operations and the
predominate aircraft was the Boeing 727 with the exception of sites located in St Paul due to the number and =
nature of operations over St Paul.

INSULATION — DRAFT REPORT (TASKS 5& 6 OF WOFZK SG�JPE)
Andrew Harris, HMMH, gav$- a presentation regarding measurements taken to
determine the LFN reduction provided by typical residential construction and the LFN
reduction provided by residences subsequent to treatment in �the MSP Sound Insulation
Program.
Mr. Harris reviewed the results of the measurements indicating there is very little
difference between the performance at low fre,�uencies of treated and untreated houses,
while there is a much improved performance for mid to high frequencies in treated
houses. As a group, the untreated and treated houses are almost identical at low
frequencies.
A draft copy of Chapter 8(results of Tasks 5 and 6) of the Expert Panel Report was
provided to the LFNPC for review.

4. STATUS REPORT — SOCIAL SURVEY (TASK 4 OF WORK SCOPE)
Sandford Fidell, BBN, reviewed the preliminary results of the social survey recently
conducted in areas close to the intersection of Runways 4/22 and 12V30R. 459
interviews were conducted with approximately 2/3rds of the interviewees living in homes
that have been insulated through tF� MSP Sound Insuiation Program.
f'relimiriary results indicate that approximately 43% of those living in insulated homes
notice rattling several times during�the day with 47% of those in homes that have not
been insulated noticing rattle. 66°�� of those living in insulated homes say they nofice
windows rattling; 70% in the homes that have not been insulated noticed window rattle.
Mr. Fidell will provide an update on the results of the social survey at the next meeting of (
