Boston Logan Int'l
FAA CONCL�JIDES NO MORE CAN BE DONE
TO C�..TT NEW TAXIWAX NOISE, POLLUTION
A Federal Aviation Administration evaluation of operational restrictions on a
proposed centerfield taxiway at Boston Logan International Airport, which were
suggested by residents in communities near the airport, concluded that they
would provide no significant environmental benefit beyond that already shown in
the Final Environment Impact Statement on the project.
PAA's reevaluation of the environmental impact of the proposed taxiway was
required as part of the August 2002 Record of Decision for the Logan Airside
Improvements Planning Project in order to address community opposition to the
new taxiway, which will put aircraft 1,000 feet closer to residential areas.
If approved, the 9,300-foot taxiway will be built alongside a new runway at Logan
and is needed to move jets off runways, thus reducing congestion and flight
delays. FAA said the new ta�ciway also is expected to reduce runway incursions.
"Based on concerns raised by residents of Bast Boston and Winthrop — the
communities that straddle the northern end of the airfield — tl�e analysis modeled
the planned use of the proposed centerfield taxiway and [existing] Taxiway
November to determine if those neighborhoods would be impacted by additional

Appro�cimately 6,000 residential units (homes and apartments) near O'Hare
International Airport must be sound insulated by 2013 when the modernization
plan for the airport is expected to be completed.
The terms of the Federal Aviation Administration's Record of Decision (ROD)
approving the project require that all homes within the airport's 65 DNL contour
anticipated for 2013 be insulated.
But because the O'Hare Modemization Project includes the reconfaguration and
addition of runways, the 65 DNL contour will shift. IYs not that fewer people will
be impacted in the 65 DNL contour; it's that the contour will move, explained Brian
Gilligan, executive director ofthe O'Hare Residential Sound Insulation Program,
which oversees noise mitigation efforts around O'Hare.
In its ROD on the modemization project, FAA reinforced the commission's role
in determining the policies for the future O'Hare Residential Sound Insulation
Program and said that the commission will determine the order of priority for
insulating homes.
In that regazd, the commission's eight-member Residential Sound Insulation
Committee unanimously approved a resolution recommending the new program on
June 28. The new program must still be approved by the full 39-member commis-

noise and air pollution from planned operations," FAA
explained.
"The anaiysis looked at two scenarios to determine the
potential environmental impacts on the two communities:
full maximum use ofthe taxiways and restricting or limiting
their use under certain conditions. The report concluded
that using the taxiways without any operational restrictions
would not create any environmental impacts to the commu-
nities at the northern end of the ai�eld."
Community involvement was an important element of the
taxiway reevaluation, FAA said. The agency and its
consultant, which was not identified, worked with six
rapresentatives of affected neighborhoods, three appointed
by the City of Boston and three appointed by the Town of
Winthrop to develop the restrictions on taxiway use that
were examined.
Some opponents of the taxiway project, who fear it will
bring more aircraft noise and air pollution to their neighbor-
hoods, contend thaE the FAA's reevaluation of the project
did not examine all the potential health risks and did not
measure finer air pollutants because it is not required to do
so by any federal law.
"The report tells the truth but it doesn't tell the whole
truth," Arthur Flavin, a member of the Massachusetts Port
Authority's Centerfield Taxiway Committee and resident of
Winthrop, told the Boston Globe July 9. "They recommend
nothing because they're using decades-old pollution criteria
to justify saying that the cente�eld taxiway wili not cause
any harm."
Rep. Michael Capuano (D-MA), who opposes the new
taxiway, told the Associated Press that the FAA and airport
have little regard for the community. "They have a wonder-
ful process by which at the end of it, they do whatever they
want," he said, according to the AP. "They stiff-arm the
community: '
But a Massport spokesrnan asserted that the ta�ciway will
make the airport safer and will provide an environmental
benefit by reducing delays and congestion.
The public has 30 days (until Aug. 21) to comment on the
FAA's reevaluation ofthe $51.3 million proposed taxiway,
which if approved is set to be completed by July ZO10.
The FAA reevaluation report, dated June 30, 2006, is
available on-line at www.faa.gov/airports_airtraffic.

sion at its September 8 meeting.
A"Fairness Policy" for the new insulation program
requires that, to the extent feasible, priority should be given
to insulating homes that were included in the 2000 65 DNL
contour for O'Hare, which was the contour used to deter-
mine eligibility for the old residential sound insulation
program.
Gilligan said that the new residential sound insulation
program differs in several ways from the old program. For
the past decade, the City of Chicago and the commission
have worked to voluntarily insulate homes near O'Hare. But
the FAA has stipulated that going forward, the sound
insulation program is mandatory for the City of Chicago and
the commission.
The new program atso will include all single family and
multi-family dwelting types within the O'Hare 201 � 65 DNL
contour; whereas the otd program was only open to singie-
family owner occupied homes.
The old, voluntary residential sound insulation program
was open only to homes located in the 2000 65 DNL contour
for O'Hare. Eligibility forthe new program is limitedto
residences included in the 65 DNL contour expected at build-
out for O'Hare in 2013 and to residences newly pulled into
that contour based on noise maps updated every five years.
Finally, the old residential sound insulation program was
funded with Passenger Facility Charges (PFCs). The new
program will be funded through federal Airport Irnprovement
Program (AIP) grants.
Gilligan said that the insulation schedule for the new
program must be ambitious and anticipates that 700-900
homes must be insulated every year to meet the 2013
completion requirement in the ROD.
Since the O'Hare Residential Sound Insulation Program
began in 1996, some 5,946 homes around O'Hare have been
insulated.

The Bush administration said it plans this summer to move
ahead with a final rule easing foreign ownership ofU.S.
airlines, despite strong opposition from the House of
Representatives.
Until a final rule easing foreign ownership of U.S. airlines is
issued, the European Union will not sign a final open skies
treaty, which includes provisions for resolving differences on
aviation environmentai restrictions.
On June 14, the House voted to delay for a year a Depart-
ment of Transportation rulemaking easing foreign ownership.
The House added language to the DOT fisca12007 appropria-
tions bill barring DOT from spending any money to imple-
ment a proposed rule on foreign ownership of U.S. airlines
that it introduced last year and amended in May.
The DOT proposal would permit non-U.S. citizens to
exercise day-to-day authority over various aspects of airline
operations but not issues relating to safety, security, or
national interest. The proposal does not address the limit on
foreign ownership ofU.S. airlines (25 percentvoting control)
because that can only be changed by Congress.
The House acted out of fear that enhanced ownership of
U.S. airlines by foreign parties could hurt the economy and
result in the loss ofU.S. jobs.
But speaking just prior to resigning his post as Secretary of
Transportation on July 7, Norman Mineta, a strong advocate
Airport Noise Report
S� �
12, 2006
of foreign ownership, told the U.S. Chamber ofCommerce
that it was "pure folly to think that economic isolationism is
an option in today's interconnected world."
Mineta acknowledged,.however, that he may have
underestimated the House's opposition to the DOT pro-
posal, which gives foreign investors some say over the day-
to-day operation ofU.S. airlines.
Mineta said that DOT is hopeful that a final rule on foreign
ownership can be issued by the end of August. Not issuing
a final rule beyond the fall could jeopardize the open skies
agreement with the EU.
Meanwhile, the Senate version of the DOT funding bill
does not bar the DOT from spending money to finalize the
foreign ownership rule. It may take until the end of the year
for the House and Senate to agree on a DOT funding bill.
Open Skies Requires CB Analysis
Article 14 of the draft open skies agreement beiween the
United States and EU would require the signatories to
weight the costs and benefits of imposing measures to
protect the environment, such as aircraft noise and emis-
sions restrictions; to refer disagreements between countries
on measures to a committee comprised of governments,
airports, and airlines; and to refer any disagreements that the
committee cannot resolve to a three-person international
arbitration panel (18 ANR33).
These steps would provide a mechanism to work out
disagreements on environmental measures and to develop
consensus on them.

The sound insulation program will include replacement

that can be spent on a home is $30,000.
Two schools and three churches also will be included in the

expected to take eight years to complete the insulation,

RETIREMENT ClF DC-10S
Northwest Airlines announced June 28 that it is accelerat-
ing the retirement of the remaining 12 DC-10-30 aircraft in its
fleet. They will be replaced with new quieter and more fuel
e�cient Airbus A330s and with Boeing 747-400s being
returned to service.
Currently seven routes are served with the DC10; most to
Europe and one to Hawaii. By the end of October, Northwest
will have replaced all the DC10s on its trans-Atlantic routes,
and on Jan. 8, 2007, the airline's final DC 10, used on a route
to Hawaii, will be replaced.
"The retirement of the DC 10 is another milestone in the
transformation of Northwest," said Phil Haan, executive vice
president of international, alliances and 'anformation technol-
ogy and chairman ofNWA Cargo. "For our customers,
employees, and the communities we serve, this clearly
shows that the Northwest of the future is about becoming a
more cost-efficient airline operating aircraft that provide
greater comfort for travelers."
Northwest said that the A330 provides up to 30 percent in
fuel savings, has lower maintenance costs, and is a much
quieter aircraft than the DC 10-30s it replaces. For example, on
the Minneapolis-St. Paul to Amsterdam route, the A330 will
carry 25 more passengers, yet consume 6,100 fewer gallons
of fuel each way, than the DC 10.
Northwest began taking delivery of new Airbus A330s in
August 2004 and currently has 20 aircraft in trans-Atlantic,
trans-Pacific and intra-Asia service. The airline has an
additional 12 A330s on order scl�eduled for delivery between
now and the end of 2007.

Van Nuys Airport
I..A. ADOPTS DUAL-TRACK PROCESS
FOR PHA.SING OUT STAGE 2 AIRCRAFT
In an effort to impose a phaseout of Stage 2 business jets as quickly as possible
at Van Nuys Airport, the busiest general aviation airport in the world, the Los
Angeles Board of Airport Commissioners has decided to take a two-pronged
approach to the matter.
Los Angeles World Auports (LAWA), the proprietor of Van Nuys, already is
pursuing a phaseout of Stage 2 business jets at the airport through the Part 161
process outlined in the Airport Noise and Capacity Act of 1990 (ANCA), which
entails an extensive cost/benefit study.
But the Airport Board on July 17 re-adopted a resolution, first passed in June
1990 just prior to passage of ANCA, which approves a proposed noise abatement
regulation for Van Nuys that calls for a seven-year gradual phase out of Stage 2
aircraft.
The Airport Board considers the proposed phaseout regulation to be
grandfathered under ANCA, which means that it is not subject to the Part 161
requirements per se but would still require extensive cost/benefit analysis and a
public hearing process.

.. • � � • �;

The Justice Department has concluded that an agreement between the cities of
Dallas and Ft. Worth, Texas, and Southwest and American airlines to drop the
Wright Amendment, a 27-year-old law restricting long-haul flights out of Dallas
Love Field, would violate antitrust laws and should not be approved.
The agreement, embodied in legislation introduced by Texas Sen. Kay Bailey
Hutchison (R) has been on a fast-track through Congress with little opposition
and strong support from key congressional players. Congress must approve the
agreement in order for it to take effect.
The agreement to repeal the Wright Amendment in eight years includes restric-
tions that "would be hard-core, per se violations of the Sherman Act," the DOJ
antitrust division told federal lawmakers in a memo obtained by The Associated
Press.
Officiais of JetBlue and Northwest airlines strongly oppose the agreement and
call it anti-competitive because it would permanently reduce the number of gates
at Love Field from 32 to 20. The DOJ memo gives strong support to their argument.
The Justice Department said that the 12 gates that would be torn down could not
be used by other airlines to compete with Southwest and American at Love Field.
Razing the gates "is the very kind of collusive output reduction that the antitrust

If no one challenges the grandfathered status of the
proposed Stage 2 phaseout regulation for Van Nuys, it
would aliow LAWA to circumvent the Part 161 process,
which the Federal Aviation Administration has made very
costly and time-consuming for airports to meet.
However, the National Business Aviation Association
(NBAA) already is questioning the legitimacy of the
grandfathered status of the proposed phaseout regulation.
The proposal was never passed in final form by Los
Angeles and therefore cannot be considered grandfathered
under ANCA, said Dan Hubbard, NBAA's vice president
for communications.The only way for Los Angeles to move
forward with a Stage 2 aircraft phaseout is through the Part
161 process, which NBAA is participating in, he told ANR.
But Airport Board President Alan Rothenberg said that
LAWA "should pursue both approaches simultaneously to
ensure that we implement this important noise-control
measure if appropriate, in the fastest time-frame possible."
Mayor Wants Quick Phaseout
Los Angeles Mayor Antonio R. Viliaraigosa made a
campaign promise to get rid of Stage 2 jets at Van Nuys and
has been urging the Airport Board to move quickly on the
matter. He applauded the Airport Board's action in adopting
the dual approach.
Wayne Williams ofthe Sherman Oaks Homeowners
Association told the Los Angeles times that, until Mayor
Villaraigosa was elected, no one was able to get the city to
do anything about Stage 2 operations at Van Nuys. "I
absolutely believe this is long overdue — 17 years overdue."
While the Airport Board approved a resolution in 1990
adopting a proposed Stage 2 phaseout for Van Nuys
Airport, the Board never approved a final regulation.
In 2000, the Los Angeles City Council approved an
ordinance that barred operators of Stage 2 business and
corporate jets based at Van Nuys Airport from replacing
their planes with similar Stage 2 aircraft. Since tlien, the
number of Stage 2 operations at the airport has dropped by
37 percent from 10,623 in 1999 to 6,665 in 2005. Stage 2
aircraft represent approximately 15 percent of the total
operations at the airport. In addition, a nighttime departure
cufew is in effect at the airport.
Some airport businesses said that a phaseout of Stage 2
aircraft at Van Nuys would cause them economic hardship
and lead to layoffs. But there is strong support for the
phaseout from Mayor Villaraigosa, local congressmen,
several members of the Los Angeles City Council, and
various homeowners associations.
"Valley constituents have repeatedly asked for assistance
to eliminate the Stage 2 jets, which are the most disruptive
to otherwise quiet neighborhoods," said City Councilman
Jack Weiss, who represents neighborhoods south of the
airport.
"Modern technology is showing that you can fly quieter
planes and this is a solution for Van Nuys which does not
put the economics of the Los Angeles region at a disadvan-
90 -
tage," said Councilman Tony Cardenas whose district
includes the airport.
The Van Nuys Part 161 study is the first in the United States
to attempt to implement multiple proposed noise and access
restrictions at one time. The study involves seven noise-
control measures, ranging from monetary fines for violating
noise-abatement policies to a possible future cap or phase-
out of helicopters at the airport.

The Tokyo High Court ordered the Japanese Government
on July 13 to pay residents near U.S. Naval Air Facility
Atsugi in KanagawaPrefecture $34.4 znillion in compensation
for aircraft noise poilution inflicted on 4,865 people living
near the air base.
The amount is the highest ever awarded for aircraft noise
compensation in Japan, the 7apan Times reported.
The High Court upheld a lower court ruling and found that
the government had failed to properly zone the area around
the base, which is used jointly by the U.S. Navy and the
Maritime Self-DefenseForce.
The presiding judge said that the noise levels experienced
by residents near the base were "beyond the tolerable limit."
'I'he High Court almost doubled that compensation awarded

The commission voted 3-2 on July 18 to accept the noise
committee's proposal, which calls for eliminating the use of
460 feet of pavement on the western end of the runway
(added in 1998) except for emergencies, removing a noise
berm, and relocating 60 feet of a golf course fence.
The committee's proposal would cost $1.05 million to
implement and would add approximately 61 additional homes
to the airport's 60 and 65 DNL noise contours, according to
the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA), which
plans to counter to commission's decision with "more
constructive proposals."
Bart Vernace, assistant manager for FAA's Orlando office,
told the commissioners that their recommendation does not

meet FAA criteria, which requires minimal impact to airport
users. The plan adopted by the commission would affect 14
percent of jet traffic at the general aviation airport.
The FAA official said that the agency could approve a
recommendation developed by the airport's consultant Lisa
Waters that would shorten the runway only for aircraft
landing and taking off to the west but would allow opera-
tions to and from the east to use the full runway length. That
recommendation would only affect 4.97 percent of jets
operating at Witham Field, Vernace said.
The County Commission's vote followed a five hour pubiic
hearing on the issue and one hour of discussion by the
commission. At the hearing, representatives of local
businesses and aviation interests asserted that shortening
the usable runway length wouid have a severe economic
impact on locai businesses. However, many speakers at the
hearing favored the proposal, noting that the 1998 runway
extension had caused an increase in noise, traffic, and lung
problems.

UK SCRAPS I']CS PI.AN TO INCREASE
NIGHT FLIGHT5 AT LONDON AIRPORTS
Under pressure from Parliament and local community groups, the British Govern-
ment recently backed down from a change in the current nighttime noise rules that
would have allowed an increase in the number of night flights at the three London
airports: Heathrow, Gatwick, and Stansted.
The number of night flights allowed between 11:30 p.m. and 6 a.m. will remain at
16 per night for the next six years.
The government scrapped its efforts to increase night flights at the London
airports following two defeats on the issue in the Honse of Lords and a campaign
by community and environmental groups opposed to the increase.
The House of Lords opposed, by a 40-vote majority, a key clause in the Civil
Aviation Bill that would abolish the rule capping the number of flights between
11:30 p.m. and 6 a.m. at an average of 16 a night.
The House of Commons agreed to reinstate the provision on the condition that
the current limit on night flights remain in place for six years and that any plans to
increase the number of night flights beyond that timeframe would be subject to full
consideration by the Parliament.

Engine manufacturer Pratt 8r. Whifiey announced July 18 at the Farnborough
Airshow that it is working with three European companies to mature Geared
Turbofan (GTF) engine technologies that will bring about a"step change" in fuel
e�ciency and noise reduction for next-generation commercial single-aisle aircraft.
The advanced engine technology is expected to be used on aircraft that will
come into airline fleets in the 2012-2014 timeframe to replace Boeing 737 and
Airbus A 320 planes.
Geared Turbofan engines are not new but the technology has never been used
on commercial aircraft engines. Unlike current engines which have blades that
rotate around a shaft at the same speed, the geared turbofan engines allow blades
to rotate at different speeds in the front and back of the engine.
The expected benefits of using Geared Turbofans on new single aisle commercial
aircraft are up to a 12 percent improvement in fuel efficiency and a cumulative 30
dB noise reduction over Stage 3 noise levels. Current Stage 4 noise standards are
a cumulative 10 dB lower than Stage 3 standards.
A ground demonstration test of the GTF engine is planned for the third quarter
of 2007 and a flight demonstratiofl test will be conducted in 2008.

In a statement, Transport Minister Derek Twigg said that
the current limit on night flights at Heathrow will apply from
October 2006 to October 2012 and will not increase above
thatlimit.
Every five to six years, the government enters into an
agreement with airlines on the number of night flights
allowed at the three London airports. The current agreement
expires in October 2006.
The government had proposed increasing the number of
flights from 16 to 18 per night between 11:30 p.m. and 6 a.m.,
with a Iarger increase between 6 a.m. and 7 a.m.
Under the current system, each aircraft is assigned a
"quota count" or "QC" rating, according to the levei of
noise they emit. The QC ratings of all aircraft operating at
night are added and cannot exceed the noise quota set by
the government.
Most of the aircraft arriving at night at Heathrow are
Boeing 747-400s (rated QC2). Under the system that the
govemment wanted to move to, the older 747-400s could be
replaced with four times as many quieter Airbus A340s and
Boeing 777s, which are rated QC0.5 (one-quarter as loud as
the QC2).
'Right to Have a Decent Night's Sleep'
Lord Hanningfield, a Conservative spokesman for
transport in the House of Lords, called the government's
decision "a great victory for ali of those that have been
campaigning for the right to have a decent night's sleep."
Said the Lord, "I am pleased that the government has taken
on board many of the concerns expressed both in Parliament
and amongst those affected communities. There is no such
thing as a quiet airplane. Residents want the clear, unam-
biguous protection offered by a cap on the total number of
movements and I am delighted that we ha�e managed to
secure this for them."
C1earSkies, which represents residents living under
Heathrow's flight path, said that every night flight "is one
too many." The group is seeking a total ban on night flights
not only at London airports but at all European airports and
is working with similar European groups to achieve that end.

aisle aircraft will be equally focused on engine performance
and cost of operation," said Steve Heath, president of P&W
Commercial Engines. "Pratt & Whitney, together with our
business pariners, [the German firm MTU, the Italian firm
Avio, and the Swedish firm Volvo Aero], are cornmitted to
developing and maturing the Geared Turbofan technology
in advance of the next generation single-aisle aircraft."
MTU Aero Engines, based in Munich, Germany, and
P&W are working to develop new, "scalable" common
engine core technology for the 90 to 200 passenger commer-
cial and military markets. The common core components
include development of new high-pressure compressor and
high-speed, low-spooi turbine technologies.
"MTU and Pratt & Whitney have a long liistory of
working together on the development of innovative new
engine technology, including on the recently certified
PW6000," said Heath. "MTU brings extensive compressor
design and integrally bladed rotor (IBR) experience to the
Geared Turbofan technology development program, and we
are excited to have them onboard."
P&W said it also finalized an agreement with Avia, which is
headquartered in Torino, Italy, for the development and
manufacturing of the advanced fan drive gear system for the
GTF ground and flight test demonstrator.
P&W said that the GTF development program is taking
advantage of Avio's capabilities for the design and
prototyping of power transmissiofl gearboxes and particu-
larly of geared fan transmission systems. This system is a
critical part of the Geared Turbofan technology; it enables
the fan to operate at optimal speeds independent of the low-
pressure compressor and turbine.
"The optimization of the fan speed results in significantly
lower noise emissions and an increased bypass ratio, which
contributes to greater fuel efficiency gains for the customer,"
said Heath.
Volvo Aero, based in Trollhattan, Sweden, brings expertise
in turbine exhaust case technology to the Geared Turbofan
development. "The turbine exhaust case is the rear structural
mounting point of the engine to the aircraft wing and is
critical to stabilizing the airflow from the engine," Heath said.

A new fleet of small-sized jets, no heavier than a sports
utility vehicle, is one step closer to revolutionizing the way
thousands of travelers fly now that the Federa] Aviation
Administration has granted Eclipse Aviation's new Eclipse
500 aircraft a Provisional Type Certificate, Acting Secretary
of Transportation Maria Cino announced July 27.
Known as very light jets (VLJs), they are also the quietest
jet aircraft, with a cumulative noise Ievel 50.9 dB below Stage
3 noise standards, according to Eclipse Aviation.
"We set out to provide our customers and the aviation
communities they frequent with an aircraft that produces
exceptionally low noise on takeoff, in the air, and on land-
ing," said Vern Raburn, president and CEO of the firm. "Our
dedication to set a new low noise standard through innova-
tive design is paying off, as the Eclipse 500 far exceeds every
requirement ever established for jet aircraft. This is a very,
very community friendly airplane."
The Eclipse produced 792 EPNdB at the lateral measure-
ment point for noise certification (14.8 dB under the Stage 3
standard and 12.5 dB under the Stage 4 standard).
The Eclipse produced 68.8 EPNdB at the fly over measure-
ment point for noise certification (20.2 dB under the Stage 3
standard and 18.2 dB under the Stage 4 standard).
And the Eclipse produced 821 EPNdB on at the noise
certification measurement point for approach (15.9 dB below
Airport Noise Report
2, 2006
Stage 3 and 13.9 dB below Stage 4), according to the firm.
Eclipse said that, since its new jet will by flying into and
out of underutilized smaller airports throughout the world, its
engineers completed additional noise testing using the same
measurement standards that turboprop and piston powered
aircraft are tested under. This process, the company
explained, differs from jet aircraft noise testing as it uses
different techniques to capture a representative noise
sample. The company reported the test results in estimated
dBA.
In this testing, the Eclipse 500 proved to be significantly
quieter than almost all high performance piston aircraft and
turboprops, according to the firm.
On takeoff, it was 3.4 Estimate dBA quieter than the Cessna
Citation Encore twin jet (currently rated as the quietest twin
jet during takeoffl. The Eclipse 500 also was reported to be
4.4 Estimate dBA quieter than the Matsubishi MU300
Diamond twin jet (currently rated as the quietest twin jet on
approach, according to the firm.
When it comes to jet engines, there is a direct correlation
between thrust and noise level, the firm explained. "Because
the Eclipse 500 only weighs as much as a midsize sport
utility vehicle (SW) or large four-door sedan, it only
requires 1,800 pounds of thrust (or 900 pounds of thrust per
engine), which is half the amount required by the smallest
and quietest jet cunently on the market." Recent testing also
shows that the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW610F engines on
the Eclipse 500 are environmentally friendly, with the lowest
emissions output ever achieved for a jet engine.
VL,Js Wfll l[2edefane'Ta-avel
Acting Secretary of Transportation Cino said that "thou-
sands of new jets like this are going to redefine the way
Americans travel, help cut airport congestion, and drive
economic growth in cities and towns across the country that
today only dream of commercial air service."
Cino noted that jets like the Eclipse 500 will be able to
affordably fly travelers from thousands of small airports
across the country because they need less room to land and
take off. As a result, she said these new jets will help reduce
congestion and cut delays at major airports by giving
travelers new options for getting from one small city to the
next.
Once Eclipse Aviation completes it final certification,
known as a Type Certificate, (which is expected to occur by
Aug. 30), it will be able to fill the almost 2,500 orders that
already have been placed ofthe new jet, which will cost $1.5
million.
Eclipse said that the acquistion cost of the Eclipse 500 is
one-third that of today's small jets and the new plane has the
lowest operating cost of any jet.
This new fleet of affordable aircraft can zip along at 430
miles per hour and can fly up to 41,000 feet.
But whether communities around small airports that have
never had jet operaions will accept the new VLJs remains to
be seen.

Las Vegas McCart�an Int'l
RULING MAY AFFECT
LAND USE EASEMENTS
Airport and airline trade groups are considering whether to
appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court a July 13 precedent-setting
ruling by the Nevada Supreme Court finding that a height
ordinance that was intended to protect the airspace around
Las Vegas McCarran Internationai Airport amounted to an
uncompensated taking.
While the ruling in McCarran International Airport v.
Sisolak does not address aircraft noise, it does "call into
question the use of avigation easements used to control
future land use encroachments around airports," the Denver
law firm KaplanKirsch & Rockwell explained in a July 31
Airport Law Alert, available at the firm's website:
www.airportattorneys.com.
Uncompensaied Easements at Issue
The Sisolak case focused on the issue of uncompensated
avigation easements. The Nevada Supreme Court held that
requiring an uncompensated easement as a condition to
development "is improper and cannot be used by [Clark
County, the airport proprietor] as a defense to the taking of
the landowner's airspace without compensat'ton."
The court upheld a judgment of over $16 million for the
properiy owner, Steve Sisolak, who bought 10 acres of land
about a mile west of the airport runway more than 20 years
ago. At the time, the property was zoned for development as
a hotel, casino, or aparhnents but the county later adopted
ordinances restricting the height of developments to 35 feet
or less.
The Nevada Supreme Court found that properly owners
have a right to airspace up to 500 feet and that the use of the
that airspace is subordinate to the interest of the property
owner.
Kaplan Kirscli said in its Airport Law Alert, "While the
court's logic would not necessarily invalidate all avigation
easements (such as those purchased outright or obtained in
exchange for sound insulation), it calis into question the use
of a�igation easements used to control future land use
encroachments around airports."
For instance, it is common for local jurisdictions to ask for
uncompensated avigation easements as a condition of a
project approval for development near an airport.
It is unclear at this point whether the Nevada High Court's
ruling will spur other property owners near McCarran to seek
compensation for an alleged taking of their property.
Any appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court of the Nevada
Supreme Court ruling must occur by mid-October.
While the Nevada decision does not bind any court
outside the state, "Sisolak raises troubling issues for airports
throughout the country to the extent that other courts may
find its reasoning persuasive," Kaplan Kirsch said.
