NOISE STUDY BREAKS NEW GROUND
ON DETAIL, GEOGRAPHIC AREA INCLITI)ED
The most extensive noise study ever undertaken at a U.S. airport in terrns of
detail presented and geographic area included is being undertaken by Wyle
Laboratories at St. Petersburg-Clearwater International Airport in order to address
community concerns about aircraft noise impact far beyond the airport's 65 dB
DNL contour line, especially from early morning cargo operations forced by
airspace complications to come in low and slow.
We are going "way above and beyond" what is typically done in airport noise
studies to explain noise impacts beyond 65 DNL and are using this study as a way
to share information with people about what they hear rather than cumulative
noise levels, said Airport Director Noah Lagos.
"We recognize that we have communities with legitimate concems and we are
doing everything we can to address those concerns," he said.
Because the airport has no non-compatible land uses within its 65 DNL contour,
it has not established a Federal Aviation Administration Part 150 airport noise
compatibility program. However, because FAA grant funding was not used to

The Department of Defense is in the process of selecting a firm to develop
criteria for determining whether land use development far beyond military bases —
up to hundreds of miles away — is compatible with their mission, especially low-
level military training flights.
We know how to do compatible land use planning close to military bases, said
Alan Zusman, deputy director of Base Development in the Naval Facilities
�ngineering Command. The problem is development that is occurring far beyond
the traditional boundary where issues such as noise impact and safety have been
assessed.
Such development includes wind turbines, which can be up to 500 feet tall, as
well as residential and commercial development that could disrupt military aircraft
training routes and special use airspace used for maneuvering planes.
There have been developments proposed far from military bases that DOD has
been forced to respond to and our concern is how do we deal with them because
we don't have solid assessment criteria, Zusman explained. Noise does not end at
the 65 DNL contour, he said, and the question is how to plan out there. If you say
that 65 DNL is the benchmark for compatible land use around military bases and
the community buiids up to the 65 contour line, how do you expand the mission of

support the Wyle study (funding is split beiween the airport
and the State of Florida), the airport was not wedded to
FAA guidelines, which only require noise analysis to be
done to the 65 DNL contour. A handful of airports have
expanded their noise analysis to the 60 DNL contour.
"The communities wanted DNL contours measured out to
DNL 50 dB and the airport agreed," Bill Albee, director of
Special Projects for Wyle, explained. "The communities also
wanted supplemental noise analysis done and the airport
agreed to that as well. That is what opened the door for us
to go beyond anything we have ever done for any other
client," Albee told E4NR. •
In addition to showing DNL contours out to the DNL 50
dB contour, the airport agreed to use Wyle's gradual color
shading technique to show DNL exposure throughout the
entire study area. Such color-shading to depict noise
exposure was done in an earlier Wyle study for the City of
Eagan, MN, but oniy in a limited area. This is the first time
the color-shading has been done for the entire airport
environs, Albee said.
"Next, we did supplemental noise analysis with Time
Above [a noise threshold] (TA) and Number of Events
Above [a noise threshold] (NA) metrics, and we plotted the
resuIts also with the color shading technique over the entire
study area. Never before has noise exposure been presented
in such detail over such a large geographic area. That is
what is groundbreaking."
Wyie aiso did a grid point analysis of noise impact and
provided tables that show the DNL for each grid point along
with the TA and NA over the full range of threshold levels
in 5 dB increments. "For any given grid point, not only can
the reader see the DNL, but they see the full breakdown of
the individual aircraft events for the average annual day that
comprise the DNL at that point," Albee noted.
Phase �� of Study to Begin
In Phase I of the study, Wyle's noise analysis focused on
the 2004 existing noise environment around St. Petersburg-
Clearwater Internationai. In Phase II of the study, Wyle will
use the same noise analysis techniques to assess alterna-
tive arrival and departure paths the airport may use in the
future to reduce noise impact by pushing aircraft further out
over Tampa Bay before turning over nearby communities.
The noise impact of these altemative flight paths will be
compared to the do-nothing alternative.
The goal of this effort is to distribute noise impact over the
communities in a fair way, Albee said, but acknowledged
that reducing noise impact on communities near the airport
by air route changes will cause some increase in noise
impact on other communities farther from the airport.
Aeronautical chart-maker 7eppesen has already developed
the alternative flight paths, which are under study by the
FAA to ensure they are safe and viable. The flight path
alternatives are expected to be announced later this month
and Wyle's study of their noise impact in 2010 and compari-
son to the making no changes is expected to be done in
June.
When the study is done, airport neighbors can look at a
table for the grid point near them, they can see if the DNL is
projected to increase or decrease between 2004 and the 2010
no-change scenario and alternative flight path scenarios, and
they can see how much time (TA) and how many events
(NA) will comprise that DNL change, Albee said.
"They wil I not only see resutts in terms of the small
increase or decrease in DNL at each point, but they will have
that small DNL change broken down into the increase or
decrease in the TA or NA at each threshold level from 55 or
50 dB to an upper threshold level above which there are no
events (typically 90 or 95 dB).

Engine manufacturer Pratt & Whitney announced March
29 that a Stage 4 hushkit it developed in conjunction with
Aviation Fleet Solutions for NID-80 aircraft powered by
JTSD-200 engines has been certified by the Pederal Aviation
Administration.
Called the QuietEagle, the noise reduction system reduces
cumulative noise by up to 6 dB, said Kimberley Sullivan,
JT8D program manager for Pratt & Whitney. "As more and
more European Union countries and airports implement more
stringent noise restrictions that result in landing charges for
the MD-80, we have a solution: '
The new hushkit meets FAA Part 36 Stage 4 noise stan-
dards and identical International Aviation Organization
Annex 16 Chapter 4 noise standards, which became efFective
on Jan. l, 2006.
The hushkit will enabte European airlines operating MD-80s
to avoid landing fees that may be imposed by the European
Union on aircraft that do not meet the new ICAO Chapter 4
aircraft noise certification standards. While the Chapter 4
standards only apply to new aircraft type designs, some
European airports may impose higher landing fee charges on
current design aircraft that do not meet the more stringent
noise standards.
In the United States, American and Delta airlines have the
largest fleets of NID-80s but there is little incentive to
hushkit them to Stage 4 standards because the new standard
does not apply to aircraft currently flying and because U.S.
airports are unable to impose restrictions, such as higher
landing fees, on noisier airplanes.
The MD-80 is not used in cargo operations because its
fuselage is too small to accommodate the standard cargo
pallet.
Hardware for the QuietEagle system will be available in the
second quarter of 2006. The system includes an improved
front fan containrnent case, a 16-lobe mixer, a muffler, and a
tabbed nozzie. Installation typically takes 160 man-hours.
"The QuietEagle package will extend the useful life of the
JT8D-200 fleet while maintaining thrust and performance
levels," Sullivan said.
Pratt & Whitney said that its JT8D has been one of the
most successful commercial engine programs in aviation
history. More than 14,000 JT8D engines were sold, with over
8,000 engines in service today, ofwhich more than 2,100 are
actively poweringMD-80 aircraft.
Aviation Fleet Solutions, based in Renton, WA, is a
company focused on the development of aftermarket
43
improvements and modifications for commercial aircraft.
The JT8D-200 engine is an improved version ofP&W's
standard JT8D engine. It has an increased bypass ratio (the
ratio of air going through the engine compared to going
around it), which means it is quieter, and P&W built into the
-200 all the components that had to be added through
hushkitting, such as internal mixers and increased acoustical
linings for sound absorption.
That explains why MD-80s are a little but not a lot quaeter
than hushkitted planes.
Land Use, from p. 41
the base in the future? he asked.
We need criteria, he said, that enables us to say yes or no
to development beyond the traditional boundaries of military
bases and we are looking at how to deal with communities
on that issue in the local planning process.
Eight firms responded to DOD's solicitation on the project
and three of those will be interviewed on April 25. In May,
one firm will be selected to conduct the one-year project
which includes several components:
• Compile and validate the results of a detailed land
use compatibility survey questionnaire that will be distrib-
uted at 50 military instailations selected by the DOD Land
Use Inter-Service Working Group;
� Conduct an on-site survey at 10 of those installa-
tions of military and local planning agencies to determine
problematic land use issues that the military has had to work
around;
• Review federal and state community planning
programs and practices that influence land use decisions
and regulations at the local level that could affect the
operation or mission of the bases; address the comprehen-
sive planning and zoning approval process in a 10-mile
radius of bases;
• Review existing DOD policies and orders to
determine ifthey need modification;
• Develop an Integrated Land Use Compatibility
Strategy based on the project findings.
FAA Land Use Committee
Zusman discussed DOD's upcoming project at the March
24 twice-yearly meeting ofthe Federal Aviation
Administration's Airport Compatibility Planning Committee,
a standing body of diverse stakeholders formed in 2003 to
discuss best practices, share information, and obtain
individual stakeholders' viewpoints to better assist state and
local governments on airport land use compatibility issues.
The group acts like a mini-think tank on the issue of
compatible land use around civilian airports.
Represented on the committee is the Airports Council
International, the American Association of Airport Execu-
tives, the Air Transport Association, the National Business
Aircra$ Association, the Aircraft Owners and Pilots

Also included on the commiitee are representatives of three federal agencies:
the departments of Transportation, Defense, and Housing and Urban Devel-
opment.
Lynne Pickard, senior advisor for environmental policy in FAA's Office of
Environment and Energy, said that despite fhe broad range of interests
embodied on the committee, all members recognize that several problems exist:
the lack of a good interface between airports and their surrounding communi-
ties and a history of friction beiween airports and locai governments on land
use issues.
Airport and local governments have tended to work in their own universes
without consulting each other in meaningful ways and then find themselves
at odds, she said. Part of what we need to do is to increase the transfer of
information from one side to the other and improve their working relationship
and planning process.
We need to do a better job of acknowledging the importance of airports,
Pickard said. They are like the riverfronts of past days. They serve as a
gateway to the community and need to be planned as such, with compatible
development that benefits everyone.
At the committee's March meeting, Pickard asked members for input on land
use issues they thought should be addressed in legislation to reauthorize
FAA programs, which is in the early stages of development. The current
authorization does not expire until Sept. 30, 2007. �
The current reauthorization, Vision 100, included a provision to provide, for
the first time, direct grants to state and local governments for compatible land
use planning around airport. That program is slowly starting and the commit-
tee members thought it deserved a chance to grow. They also discussed a
provision that did not make it into the current FAA authorizing legislation: a
requirement that disclosure of noise impact be provided to homeowners in
high noise areas. FAA was required to study the matter and that study is
nearly done, Pickard said. The committee also talked about whether the
FAA's Part 150 program could be improved in terms of land use planning but
reached no conclusion.
Going back to DOD efforts on land use compatibility, Pickard praised a DOD
report published last July entitled "Practical Guide to Compatible Civilian
Development Near Military Installations."
It offers guidance to help civilians and the nnilitary address compatible land
use through the development of collaborative relationships and is available
online at www.oea.gov.

START UP YEARS OF `PARTNER' CONSORTIUM
WERE VERY SUCCESSFUL, FAA OFFICIAL SAYS
The three-year start-up period for the Federal Aviation Administration's new
Center of Excellence on Aircraft Noise and Aviation Emissions Mitigation (dubbed
PART'NER) has been extremely successful from the agency's perspective, marked
by growth in membership and good research, according to Lourdes Maurice, who
oversees the program in her role as chief scientific and technical advisor in FAA's
Office ofEnvironment and Energy.
This fall marks the end of the first three-year cooperative agreements that FAA
entered into •with the universities that form the PARTNER research consortium
and work with aviation industry firms and others on research projects that will be
used as the basis for future FAA aircraft noise and emissions policy.
The FAA is in the process of negotiating a second round of three-year coopera-
tive agreements with the universities involved in PART'NER, an acronym for
Partnership for AiR Transportation Noise and Emissions Reduction.
The research consortium began with eight university members (Boise State,
Florida International, Penn State, Purdue, Stanford, University of Central Florida,
and the University of Missouri at Bolla), led by the Massachusetts Institute of

On April 5, the Dallas City Council voted unanimously to spend $150,000 to
study the impact of lifting the Wright amendment, a perimeter rule, at Dallas Love
Field and allowing long-haul commercial service atthe in-town airportwhere
neighbors have long-complained about noise and fought hard against additional
flights.
The Wright amendment is a 1979 federal law that restricts commercial air service
at Love Field to Texas and four contiguous states. It was later expanded to add
four more nearby states.
Southwest Airlines, which is based at Love Field, wants the Wright amendment
dropped so that it can add long-haul operations to destinations around the
country, which would make it more competitive with American Airlines, based at
nearby Dallas-Ft. Worth Internationai Airport.
American has mounted a strong campaign against the lifting of the Wright
amendment over the past year and in March announced that it had joined and
helped fund a grass-roots group called Stop-and-Think, which is dedicated to
keeping the Wright amendment in place.
Stop-and-Think asserts that lifting the Wright amendment would negatively
affect neighbors of Love Field and also would have a negative impact on DFW

Technology. Recently the Georgia lnstitute of Technology
and York University, the third largest university in Canada,
joined PARTNER.
46 Organizations in Consortium
Some 46 organizations participate in PARTNER, including
37 industry-professional organizations, several organiza-
tions representing communities and/or local jurisdictions,
one state department of transportation, and Department of
Transportation and Environmental Protection Agency
research labs. The members are listed on the PARTNER
website at: http://web.mit.edu/aeroastro/www/partner.
In addition to the FAA, the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration and Transport Canada are co-
sponsoring the research consortium and there are hopes of
expanding it to include or be affiliated with research and
aeronautical institutions in Europe and other parts of the
world.
Recent additions to the PARTNER advisory board include
SNECMA, the French engine manufacturing firm,
Bombardiere, the Canadian airframe manufacturer, the
Aerospace Industries Association, Larry Finegold, an expert
in noise research and policy development, the San Fran-
cisco Bay Air Quality Management District, and the
Palisades Citizens Association, which represents communi-
ties under the flight path of San Francisco International
Airport.
Slight Course Correction
A recent survey of some of the PART'NER members, done
by FAA to determine if any course corrections were needed,
showed that advisory board members thought the research
effort was going well although more focus was needed to
improve business practices and that more work needed to
be done in two research areas: the effects of aircraft
emissions on climate and the effect of hazardous air
pollutants (HAPS) from,aviation on health.
We are in the process of defining what more needs to be
done in these areas, Maurice said. Purdue has been doing a
study on HAPS health effects but the assessrnent of those
included in the survey was that we need to do work beyond
that.
Ian Waitz, a professor in the MIT Department of Aeronau-
tics and Astronautics, who serves as director of the
PARTNER Center of Excellence, said that by and large, the
PART'NER advisory board members surveyed gave a very
favorable review of the research effort. "They feel very
good about the center's work ... I give us an A-minus."
In addition to the concerns that Maurice mentioned, Waitz
said that the survey showed that PARTNER members want
to have stronger relationships internationally; to grow their
relationship with DOD and EPA, to better integrate the
strategic planning process between noise, emissions, and
the development of analysis tools; and to improve commu-
nication regarding their work.
Waitz also wants to have more community groups partici-
pate in PARTNER, especially those focused on aircraft
emissions.
At a recent advisory board meeting, the PARTNER
members also discussed the need to support the long-term
planning for the next generation aviation system being done
by the federal Joint Planning and Development Office.
PAR'TNER members are interested in trying to find ways to
better support that efFort, Waitz said.
And, they want to find additional funding sources for
PARTNER projects. The newly-establish Airport Cooperative
Research Program, managed by the Transportation Research
Board, decided to fund several PAR1'NER projects in its
fiscal 2006 program and PARTNER plans to submit additional
research proposals for the ACRP fisca12007 program, Waitz
said.
The goal of PART'NER is to be self-sustaining in terms of
funding. Currently, PART'NER members must match funding
provided by the FAA.
In terms of project results, Waitz said he anticipates that
over the next year reports will be issued on cost/benefit
analyses tools under development, emissions testing, a low-
frequency noise study, implementation of the Continuous
Descent Approach (CDA), and a public education website
called NoiseQuest.
StudentAwards
Another goal of PAR`I'NER is to attract students to the field
of aircraftnoise and emissions mitigation. PARTNER
sponsors an annual student paper competition and awards
cash prizes to those it considers to be the best.
The 2006 competition winners were just announced. In the
graduate student division, Daniel Robinson of Purdue
University won the top prize of $4,000 for his paper on
"Threshold for Rattle Onset: Theoretical Development and
Experimental Evaluation: ' The paper, said PARTNER,
"presents an impressive combination of theoretical and
experimental results aimed at better understanding the
phenomenon of rattle in windows and wal(s. Rattle is at the
source of a significant number of noise-related compiaints
from people living in areas adjacent to airports."
The second place award of $1,000 in the graduate student
division went to Anup Shirgaonkar, a Ph.D. candidate in
Mechanical Engineering at Stanford, for his paper, "High-
Resolution Simulations ofEarly State Aircraft Contrails,"
which presents the results of a Large Eddy Simulation of
early stage contrail formation under various atmospheric
conditions.
In the undergraduate division, Evan Baach and Kim Becket
of Purdue each won a cash prize of $200 and honorable
mention for their paper, "Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood
International Airport: Three Case Studies on Land Use." The
paper draws conclusions about land use decisions and
development adjacent to a key Florida airport.

Love Field, from p. 4S
International Airport.
Stop-and-Think is cornpeting with another grass-roots
group, called Right to Fly, begun last summer, which
supports lifting the Wright amendment and is endorsed by
Southwest Airlines. Right to Fly argues that lifting the
perimeter rule would benefit the Dallas region economically
and would have little impact on Love Field neighbors.
Not surprisingly, as the political climate heats up over the
issue, North Texas legislators have urged the Dallas and Fort
Worth City Councils to resolve the dispute. Dallas Mayor
Laura Miller hopes that the study to be funded by the Dallas
City Council will give the city the information it needs to
address the matter and come up with a solution and that a
joint decision can be made with the City of Fort Worth on
the fate of the Wright amendment.
The study, to be conducted by DMJM Aviation, will
examine the financial effect ofallowing long-haul commercial
service at Love Field. It also will determine how property
values around the airport might be affected and how air
quality and air traffic and ground trafFc noise levels would
change if the perimeter rule were lifted.
DMJM worked on the Love Field master plan, completed in
2001, which capped the number of gates at the airport at 32
in an effort to reduce noise impact and required installation
of a noise monitoring system.
The master plan was approved based on an understanding
with the community that the Wright amendment would
remain in place.

Contending that the current fines and penalties imposed
on airlines operating at Long Beach Airport are not prevent-
ing what they view as a continuing problem with late night.
flight violations, two members of the Long Beach City
Council want the city's noise ordinance amended to be made
more stringent.
At a mid-March meeting, councilwomen Rae Gabelich and
Tonia Reyes Urgana proposed that the city attorney's office
amend the Long Beach noise ordinance to put in place a
stiffer fine structure for aircraft that violate aircraft noise
limits in effect between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. They also want to
limit aircraft operators to just two reasons for obtaining an
exemption from penalties, which can be granted for opera-
tions between 10-11 p.m.: delays caused by weather or by a
decision by an air traffic controller at the flight's point of
departure.
The councilwomen also want the city's standard lease with
operators of aircraft to be revised to state that "willful
failure" to obey the city's noise ordinance would constitute
a breach of the lease and could lead to suspension or
termination of airport privileges.
47
The Long Beach noise ordinance specifies the fine
amounts that can be imposed for violating the airport's
nighttime noise limits. They range from $100 to $300 per
incident depending on the number of violations that have
occurred in the past. The ordinance also includes misde-
meanor $1,000 fines forknowingly flying after 11 p.m. in an
aircraft that exceeds the noise limits.
A 2003 legal consent decree imposed much higher penal-
ties on JetBlue and American Airlines because the city felt
they were regularly coming in late to the airport. Those
penalties began at $3,000 for the first six violations during a
four-month period and increased to $6,000 for each addi-
tional violation during that period.
JetBlue paid $393,000 in penaities from the third quarter of
2003 through December 2005 and American paid $3,000, the
Long Beach Press-Telegram reported.
In an effort to determine what other airports are doing, the
Long Beach City Council asked the city attorney's office to
report on the average cost of fines for noise violations at
other Southern California airports. That report is expected
some time this summer.
Once the city council has that information, it will consider
whether to make its fine structure more stringent. However, it
will ask the Federal Aviation Administration whether such
an amendment would jeopardize the grandfathered status of
its noise ordinance under the Airport Noise and Capacity
Act of 1990.
Airport officials contend that the current fine structure is
doing a good job of controlling violations of late night noise
limits. Some 292 violations ofnight noise limits were reported
in 2005. Airport officials said that number constitutes only 1
percent of the tota1352,371 aircraft operations that occuned
during 2005.

overall approval to the Part 150 Airport Noise Compatibiliiy Program for Buffalo
Niagara International Airport, approving 12 ofthe 16 noise mitigation measures
submitted.
Not approved by the FAA were four measures: an e�ctension of Quiet Time
designation, preferential runway use, preferential arrival corridors, and preferential
departure corridors.
Regarding the first three rejected elements, FAA said they were disapproved for
purposes of the Part 150 program "due to a lack of demonstrated noise benefit to
non-compatible land uses exposed to noise levels of DNL 65 dBA: '
The agency said it recognized that Quiet Time designation, preferential runway
use, and preferential arrival corridors are being used on a voluntary basis and that
their disapproval due to lack of noise benefit information in the Part 150 program
would not prohibit their continued use outside the program.
Regarding the fourth disapproved program element (preferential depariure
corridors), FAA said this measure provides noise benefits to land uses exposed to

Noise Monitoring
• . ,� . . � � ; ',�
'i �'' :
Rannoch Corporation announced April 18 that it was
recently awarded a competitive multi-year contract with the
Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANYN� for
technical services, including maintenance and calibration of
the Port's Bruel & Kjaer noise monitoring terminals.
The PANYNJ has one of the largest noise monitoring
systems in the United States, consisting of 22 B&K perma-
nent and portable noise monitoring terminals, recording
noise events around John F. Kennedy International, Newark
Liberiy International, LaGuardia, and Teterboro airports.
"This is just another example of the success of the global
partnership between Rannoch and Bruel & Kjaer," said
RobertBlair, Rannoch's commercial sa]es manager. "To-
gether, our companies continue to share in the success of
being awarded some of the most unique and rewarding
NOMS [noise and operat'rons monitoring systems] jobs
around the world. We are pleased to have the Port Authority
of New York and New Jersey as a client and look forward to
a long, lasting relationship."
In March 2005, Rannoch, which specializes in flight tracking
systems, announced that it had formed a parinership with
B&K, a leading manufacturer of sound and vibration
monitors (17 ANR24).
Installations at Lunken, Logan, Hanscom
Rannoch also announced that it recently began installing
new B&K state-of-the-art noise monitoring termanals at
Cincinnati's Lunken Municipal Airport and that the Massa-
chusetts Port Authority (Massport) has ordered 38 of the
new noise monitoring ternninals for Logan International
Airport and Hanscom Field.
The Alexandria, VA-based firm said it also was given an
order for a number ofB&K noise monitoring terminals at
Denver International Airport to replace other aging units.
Rannoch said that it and B&K have a presence in over 25
countries and 200 airports, representing over half of the

OPENING CEREMONY gIELD
FOR NEW PARALLEL RTJ]�TWAY
�Following is an April 13 Associated Press story on the
opening of a new rumvay at Lambert-St. Louis Interna-
tional AirportJ.
Larnbert Airport opened its new runway [April 13), even as
critics of the $1.1 billion project called it a waste of money
that destroyed a community.
The St. Louis airport's first new runway in half a century
was designed to reduce weather delays and allow the airport
to manage increasing passenger demand, city and airport
leaders said at a dedication ceremony for the project that
was more than 15 years in the making.
"Critical to continuing the region's economic momentum is
an airport that is efficient, so the airlines can serve our
growing demand for air service," St. Louis Mayor Francis
Slay said.
Hundreds of people invited to the ceremony watched as
the mayor, federal aviation o�cials, and U.S. Rep. Russ
Carnahan arrived on a small passenger jet to mark the first
landing on the runway.
Many of those who dedicated runway 11-29 said it would
give the city an advantage and attract airlines and business,
and hopefully return St. Louis to the air-travel hub it once
was.
But opponents of the expansion say the airport's traffic
remains a third less than it was before the 2001 tenorist
attacks. One entire concourse is barely operating. In a 2004
forecast, the Federal Aviation Administration predicted that
Lambert's traffic would not reach pre-20011evels until after
2020.
The expansion meant the loss of more than 2,000 homes,
businesses, churches, and schools near the airport, mostly
in the St. Louis suburb of Bridgeton. Residents who
opposed the expansion, including some who lost their
homes, gathered [April 13] not far from the celebration for
the new runway.
"It amounted to an excessive waste of resources and the
destruction of a community," said SaraBarwinski, who led
one of three groups opposed to the project. Her family had
to leave their Bridgeton home it� 2003.
Opponents of the runway celebrated the end of their
struggle with "White Elephant" cake, their joking nickname
for the runway's usefulness.
Talk of a new runway began in 1989. Loca1 unions for air
tra�c controllers and pilots were against plans to build the
new runway and asked for alternatives in the late 1990s.
Trans World Airlines was still in business then, and Lambert
was its primary hub. AMR Corp.'s American Airlines
purchased TWA out of bankruptcy in 2001.
The terrorist attacks badly damaged the airline industry.
American eventuaily was forced to cut half its St. Louis
flights. But by then, the runway project was well underway.
Airlines will begin paying their 23 percent share of the
51
runway's costs in July. It's still unclear how much of that
cost airlines will pass on to passengers.
The runway eliminates a problem that caused many delays,
said Airport DirectorKevin Dolliole. Then new runway
allows for simuitaneous arrivals in more than 99 percent of
weather conditions, he said. "Previously, our two major
parallel runways were too close together to allow simulta-
neous aircraft arrivals in inclement weather," Dolliole said.
After a decade of passenger tra�c decline at Lambert, 2005
marked the first increase-10 percent—to 7.5 million. About
13 million passengers traveled through Lambert in 1995.
The FAA predicted two years ago, after new runway
construction began, that by 2020 Lambert would slip from
being the 17�' ranked airport in the counhy to 30�' in terms of
service.
Chris Blum, an FAA regional spokesman, said he expects
the next forecast for Lambert to be more optimistic. "You
know the saying, `Ifyou build it, they will come'," Blum said.
"Now that St. Louis has the capability, it becomes a much
more amactive option for airlines to do business here:'
Indianapolis Int'Z
FEDEX EXPECTED SOON
TO ANNOUNCE EXPANSION
Cargo carrier FedEx Corp. is expected to soon announce
that it plans to significantly expand its operations at
Indianapolis Intemational Airport, its second largest hub,
the Indianapolis Star reported April 13.
On April 14, the public board that oversees the airport
approved a plan to add "about a football field's worth of
space" next to FedEx's current loading area, the Star
reported based on preliminary blueprints it reviewed.
FedEx was expected to announce its expansion plans on
April 14 but the Star reported that it postponed the event
because the deal was still being negotiated. Unnamed
sources told the Star that FedEx plans to construct a
building on its 300-acre airport complexthat presumably will
accommodate additional freight.
FedEx declined to comment on whether it planned to
expand its Indianapolis operations. The airport said no
announcement is imminent.
It is unclear what impact additional FedEx cargo operations
would have on the airport's noise mitigation program and
noise exposure maps, which were last updated in 2003.

U.S./European EnvironmentalIssues Conference
The agenda for the first-ever European-U.S. Airport Environmental Issues
Conference, to be held June 28-30 in Brussels, Belgium, includes sessions on
land use planning, noise at the source, operatianal procedures and political
choices, whether operational restriction limits affect regional capacity, local air
quality, and climate change as a capacity constraint.
"The conference's comprehensive agenda will examine both the policy
considerations from the European and U.S. perspective, as well as the
response by the airport community to address these issues," the conference
brochure explains. "A key part of the agenda is the dialogue between U.S. and
European airports leadership to look at best practices in addressing the
environmental challenges of today and how those challenges will be ad-
dressed in the future."
"Senior executives from the U.S. government, the European Union, and
recognized industry leaders in airports and other aviation businesses are
expected to participate in this program," the brochure notes.
Among the organizations hosting the conference are the U.S. FAA, the
European Commission, the European Civil Aviation Cottference, Brussels
International Airport Company, and irade groups representing U.S. and
European airlines and airports.

DEFINITION OF NOISE IMPACT UNCI�ANGED
IN UPDATEI� ENVIRONMEN'�AL HANDBOOK
On April 28, the Federai Aviation Administration issued an update to its
Environmental Handbook, which provides detailed guidance to agency personnel,
airports, and others on how to review airport development projects to ensure
compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act.
Order 5050.4B, National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Implementing
Instructions for Airport Actions, replaces Order 5050.4A, Airport Environmental
Handbook, which was issued in 1985. Order 5050.4B also supplements instructions
inFAA Order l O50.1E, Change 1, Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures,
the agency's broader order on implementing NEPA, which was just reissued with
minor revisions on March 27 (18 ANR 37).
There is no change in the updated orders in FAA policy regarding what consti-
tutes signifacant noise impact for purposes of NEPA. Significant noise impact is
still defined as that which causes noise sensitive areas located at or above 65 dB
DNL to experience a noise increase of at least 1.5 dB DNL. Significant noise impact
also occurs with a noise increase in a noise sensitive area that moves it from the
63.5 DNL contour into the 65 DNL contour.

On Apri16, the EI Segundo, CA, City Council unanimously amended the city's
building code to require that new homes built within the noise impact boundary of
Los Angeles International Airport, or the addition of habitable room to houses
already within tl�at boundary, meet residential noise insulation standards.
Those standards stipulate that internal noise levels due to LAX do not exceed 45
dB CNEL (Community Noise EquivalentLevel). The standards also specify
construction methods for new houses within the 65-70 dB CNEL noise zone and
within the 70 dB and greater CNEL noise zone.
"It was a necessary step and it was something we should have done some time
ago," EI Segundo Mayor Kelly McDowell told the Manhattan Beach Reporter. "It
is required by state law but it should not have a significant factor for builders
because most of them already take it into account."
The City of El Segundo abuts LAX and the ordinance noted that its citizens "are
profoundly affected by noise generated from air tra�c using LAX."
Adoption of the sound insulation standards comes three months after the Los
Angeles City Council agreed to scrap a controversial modernization plan for LAX
in exchange for communities near the airport, including El Segundo, dropping
lawsuits they had filed challenging the plan on the grounds that it underestimated

the impact of the project on noise, air quality, and traffic (18
ANR.S).
Under the settlement, Los Angeles World Airport
(LAWA) agreed to provide an additional $266 million over
10 years to El Segundo, Inglewood, and Los Angeles
County to sound insulate homes, provide job training,
reduce traffic, and remove abandoned streets in sand dunes
west of LAX and to provide an additional $60 million for
various air quality and environrnental justice projects.
The cities and county agreed under the settlement to allow
LAWA to move forward with a"community-sensitive"
modernization ptan at LAX that would direct growth and
increased air traffic to other airports in the region.
Under the settlement, the City of El Segundo will receive
$7.45 million in 2006 from LAWA forresidential sound
insulation. The city also plans to spend an additional $6.3
million from unused Federal Aviation Administration grants
to support sound insulation work in 2006.
7ames S. O'Neill, manager of the El Segundo Residential
Sound Insulation Program, said that about 300 homes will be
insulated in the 2006 program. The average cost of insulat-
ing a single family home is $45,067 and the average cost of
insulating amulti-family dwelling is $28,376.
F�lA, fi•om p. 53
This definition of significant noise impact in residential
areas will surely disappoint several airporticommunity
roundtables who had criticized the draft order, issued in
December 2004, for not recognizing that significant noise
impacts occur beyond the 65 DNE., contour (17 ANR 14).
They asserted that the use of the 65 DNL metric alone was
insufficient to fully identify noise impacts and that single
event noise metrics must be applied to augment the DNL
metric.
No Significant Impact outside 65 IDNL
Updated Order 5050.4B reminds FAA personnel that
disclosing noise impacts having a 3 dB DNL increase over
noise-sensitive areas located between the 60-65 DNL
contour "is for information purposes only" and that such 3
dBA increases do not cause significant adverse noise
impacts forNEPA purposes.
The agency said it "recognizes that there are settings
where the 65 DNL standard may not apply," but those azeas
are defined in the updated order as national parks and
wildlife refuges and historic sites, including traditional
cultural sites. These are areas where the federal courts have
found the FAA's 65 DNL standard to be lacking in noise
analyses and ordered the agency to redo them.
Regarding the defermination of what constitutes signifi-
cant noise impact in national parks, wildlife refuges, and
historic sites, the FAA advises agency personnel to consult
with the agency with jurisdiction over these areas to
determine what constitutes a significant noise impact. That
instruction does open the door to the use of supplemental
noise metrics and noise impacts thresholds beyond the
traditiona165 DNL contour. However, as the lead agency in
environmental analyses, FAA would have to approve such
additional analysis. �
New Desk Reference
FAA decided in updated Order 5050.4B to focus solely on
compliance with NEPA and to issue separately this summer a
new Environmental Desk Reference for Airport Actions that
will provide detailed guidance on compliance with special
purpose environmental laws outside of NEPA, such as those
governing clean air and water and those pertaining to historic
preservation and parklands. That desk reference will address
noise issues relating to those laws.
Ed Melisky, of FA.A's Office of Airports and Environmental
and Planning Division, said the desk reference also may
include or reference what he believes will be a new FAA
order that would require disclosure of noise impacts greater
than 5 dB DNL over residential areas that arise from air tra�c
procedures put in place to accommodate the construction of
new runways, such as that occurring at Philadelphia lnterna-
tional Airport. The order, under development in the FAA's
Air Traffic Division, would require the FAA to do noise
modeling of departures up to 10,000 feet and for approaches
beginning at 7,000 feet, and some grid point analysis of noise
increases. But Melisky siressed that only disclosure of noise
impacts would be required.
Categorical Exclusions
The Council on Environmental Quality, which oversees
NEPA, allows federal agencies to exempt certain categories of
actions from the environmental impact statement require-
ments of NEPA in order to reduce unnecessary paperwork.
In developing categorically excluded action, the FAA must
consider "extraordinary circumstances in which a normally
excluded action may have a significant environmental effect"
and thus require further environmental analysis. One of those
extraordinary circumstances is a"highly controversial"
action.
In its updated order, FAA defines the term "controversial"
as meaning "that a substantial dispute exists concerning the
size, nature, or effect of a proposed federal action. Effects are
considered highly controversial when reasonable disagree-
ment exists over a project's risks of causing environmental
hann. Opposition on environmental grounds by a Federal,
State, or locai government agency or by a Tribe or by a
substantial number of people the action would affect should
be considered in determining whether reasonable disagree-
ment regarding a proposed action's environmental effects
exist "
Among the actions that FAA has categorically-excluded
from environmental review but said may involve extraordi-
nary circumstances are the installation of noise barriers, such
as vegetation, berms, or sound walls to reduce noise;
implementation ofFAA-approved noise compatibility
programs or amendments of airport layout plans depicting
measures to be implemented; and imposition of Stage 3

C
2006
aircraft operating restrictions under FAA's Part 16 regula-
tions.
FAA said that categorically-excluded actions that are
unlikely to involve extraordinary circumstances include
issuance of a grant to prepare an airport noise exposure map
or noise compatibility program.
Melisky said that many of the criticisms that the airport
trade groups had with the draft update to its order (17 ANR
t4) were ironed out in meetings with them.

A booklet and CD ROM surveying European environmen-
tal noise research projects done mainly between 2000 to
March 2006 will be available at the end of April through a
program oftheEuropean Commission.
The program, dubbed CALM for Coordination of European
Research for Advanced Transport Noise Mitigation,
announced the new "B1ueBOOK" in the second edition of its
new newsletter, dated Apri12006.
The BIueBOOK, is based on the CALM project database,
which is accessible at the CALM website: http://www.caim-
network.com.
The book provides an overview of the more important
noise research activities in Europe started before March 2006
that will be useful for researchers, policy makers, city
authorities, and others involved in environmental noise
research activities. Generally, the survey is limited to
projects that have been completed a$er the year 1999,
although some fundamentally important projects competed
earlier also have been included.
All of the projects surveyed in the book fall within one of
seven main topic areas of environmental noise: rail traffic,
road tr�c, airtraffic, outdoor equipment, maritime transport,
health and socio-economic aspects, and assessment of
exposure to noise. For each project, information is provided

Following the completion of a Part 150 airport noise
compatibility study at general aviation Spirit of St. Louis
Airport, noise complaints dropped from about 1,200 a year to
only about a dozen so far this year, the National Business
Aviation Association reported Apri124.
Since there we no changes made at the airport, St. Louis
County, MO, Director of Aviation Dick Hrabko told NBAA
that his best explanation for the drop in complaints is the
just-completed Part 150 study. "The process gave the people
who were angry an opportunity to learn more about what the
airport can and can't do," Hrabko said.
He credited his Part 150 consultants, Barnard Dunkelberg
& Company of Tulsa, OK, for properly explaining the issues
to the public at a hearing in early November 2005. "It also
gave us a feel for what the neighbors are hearing," Hrabko
told NBAA. "It wasn't a 65 DNL problem; it was a single-
event problem."
Although local operations at the airport have dropped
dramatically since 2001 with the closing ofthree ofthe four
flight schools at the airport, business a�iation has steadily
increased, NBAA said. Hrabko told the association that, out
of the 430 aircraft on the field,130 are turbine-powered.
Hrabko said that aircraft noise became a controversial
issue three years ago after a candidate for public office "told
everyone we were going to Uring in Southwest Airlines,
FedEx, and the Air Guard." The "anti-airport political
platform then spawned an organized movement which led to
the [noise] complaints," he told NBAA..
FAA Reviewing Draft 150
The Federal Aviation Administration currently is reviewing
a draft of the Part 150 siudy for Spirit of St. Louis, which
recommends the following noise mitigation measures:
construction of an engine run-up enclosure, purchase or
insulation of several homes off the end of the runway,
tweaking air tra�c procedures to keep departing aircraft on a
specific heading (an option that is currently voluntary),
restricting residential development within a 60 DNL or
greater zone (which the local zoning authority is consider-
ing). Avigation easements are already required for residential
development within the Airport Impact Area.
If the FAA approves the Part 150 study, Hxabko said he
would apply for a grant to fund the run-up enclosure and
would formalize the already voluntary noise mitigation plan
with additional pilot education.
He told NBAA he also would "take another tip from the
study regardless of its final form: creating an Airport
Awareness Committee made up of residents, airport users,
and airport management to exchange information on a
regular basis."

RDU Drops Airline Noise Reports
Airlines operating at Raleigh-Durham International Airport no longer have
to file quarterly noise rule reports for the airport to use in calculating compli-
ance with its noise budget rule.
The RDU Airport Authority "recognizes that many airlines have replaced
older airplanes with newer airplanes that produce less noise and emissions,"
RDU Noise Office Armando Tovar told the airlines 9n a March 301etter. "This
transition of fleet equipment is largely the cause of noise compliance at RDU
well below the established level of noise compliance," he said, adding that the
airport authority commends the airlines' efforts to acquire and operate
equipment with enhanced environmentai performance.
But Tovar stressed that, while the quarterly reports are no longer required,
the airport authority is not rescinding the RDU Noise Rule and that if the
airlines significantly increase use of airplanes with low bypass ratio engines
and cause a significant increase in noise exposure, then the airport will re-
impose the reporting requirement.
Airlines have been submitting quarterly noise rule reports for 15 years and
Tovar thanked them for that effort and for a job well done in reducing noise
impact on the community.
Under RDU's Noise Rule, passenger and cargo airlines must operate within
sound energy budgets established by the rule. The rule capped allowable
noise in 1991 and reduced the noise budget allocated to the airlines until 2004.
By 2004, the allowable noise exposure was 35 percent of the 1991 level and
equal to pre-hub 1987 leveIs.

Beginning 7uly l, aircraft operating at San Diego International Airport will face
much stiffer fines for violating the airport's 11:30 p.m. to 6:30 a.m. curfew on
aircraft departures and engine run-ups.
Concerned by an increase in the number of violations of its nighttime curFew, the
San Diego County Regional Airport Authority Board approved at its Apri13
meeting a new fine structure that appears to be the most stringent of the five
commercial service airports in the country whose curfews were grandfathered
under the Airport Noise and Capacity Act of 1990: San Diego International, Long
Beach, Orange County (John Wayne), San Jose International, and Washington,
DC, ReaganNational Airport.
The old fine structure for San Diego International imposed fines of $1,000 for the
first curfew violation in a calendar quarter; $3,000 for the second occurrence in a
calendar quarter; $5,000 for the third occurrence in a calendar quarter; and greater
fines or loss of operating privileges for additional violations in a calendar quarter.
'The new fine structure imposes fines of:
• $2,000 forthe first violation in a six-month compliance period multiplied

by the number of violations during the previous six-month
compliance period;
• $6,000 for the second violation in the six-month
compliance period multiplied by the number of violations
during the previous compliance period;
• $10,000 for the third (and subsequent) violations in
the six-month compliance period multiplied by the number of
violations during the previous compliance period; and
• For any additional violations of the curfew beyond
three in the compliance period, the Board may terminate or
limit the operating privileges of the aircraft operator.
The multiplier effect in the new fine structure is what
delivers the sting. The airport calculated how fnes paid by
commercial airlines for violating the curfew in the first three
quarters of 2005 would increase under the new fine struciure.
Jet Blue, which had two penalized violations in the previous
six months, was fined a total of $5,000 but that amount would
increase to $36,000 under the new fine structure.
Fine Increase Already Slessed by FAA
Until the airport Board's recent action, the curfew fine
59
structure had remained unchanged since it was adopted in
1989. In 1999, the AirportNoise Advisory Committee
proposed the new fine structure and it was submitted to the
Pederal Aviation Administration to determine if its adoption
would put at risk the grandfathered status of the curfew,
which, in turn, would put the airport's ability to obtain
federal airport improvement program grants at risk.
The FAA's general counsel approved in principle the
increased fine structure but the airport Board declined to
impose it in 2003, opting instead to monitor compliance with
the curfew. When the number of curfew violations increased
from 23 in 2004 to 41 in 2005, the Board took action.
But the driving force for adoption of the more stringent fine
structure was the community members on the Airport Noise
Advisory Committee, according Dan Frazee, deputy director
for noise mitigation at San Diego International.
"We are under pressure from the community to increase
fines," he told ANR. Almost 30,000 people live in the 65
CNEL contour of San Diego International, he said, and there
are about 12,000 homes in the contour.
But Frazee said that the number of aircraft operators
violating the curfew, which applies to all aircraft, is very low
in terms of the percentage of annual operations. The airport
had 220,000 operations last year and only 29 penalized
curfew violations, he said. About 30 percent of violations are
not penalized due to extenuating circumstances, such as
weather, maintenance probiems, and air traffic control
decisions.
But, said Frazee, the community wants zero violations of
the curfew and dlat is what we strive for.
Some airlines also are striving for that goal. American
Airlines and United Airlines both have adopted a corporate
policy not to violate the San Diego curfew and they have
not, he said. US Air and Jet Blue have problems meeting the
curfew sometimes because they operate long-haul cross-
country flights into San Diego.
�.Zeady to gTpdate Part 150
At the same time the increased fine structure goes into
effect this summer, the airport also plans to announce a new
Fly Quiet program, similar to that in effect at San Francisco
International Airport, and, in November, will begin an update
to the airport's Part 150 Noise Mitigation Program, Frazee
said.
The original Part 150 program in effect was approved in
1989 and airport noise maps need to be updated in order to
seek increased funding for the airport's residential sound
insulation program. Updating the Part 150 program also will
provide an opportunity to learn about technology improve-
ments since 1989 in terms of precision departure procedures
and to institute web-based flight track monitoring.
Of course, ail this activity at the airport is being played out
against the backdrop of efforts to relocate the small, in-town
airport, which is the only single runway commercial airport in
the country. This November, county voters will be asked to
vote in an advisory ballot whether to keep San Diego
International at its current location or to move it.

San Jose Seeks to Replace Monitoring, Tracking System
The City of San Jose, CA, seeks proposals from contractors qualified and
experienced in aircraft noise and flight track monitoring systems to provide
the necessary equipment and support services to replace and maintain the
existing Noise and Flight Track Monitoring System (NFTMS) at San Jose
International Airport.
The goal of the RFP is to acquire a new NFTMS to replace the existing
system with a Windows-based system, including data migration services and
customization services. The Airport is seeking a contractor that can utilize the
existing facilities to the maximum e�ctent so as to conserve the resources
already purchased with the participation of the FAA.
The Airport wishes to retain the current system functionality and to
incorporate the existing databases into a new NFTMS, to the maximum
practical extent. The Airport also wishes to retain the existing system hard-
ware to the maximum practical extent.
The Airport seeks a contractor with a vision of the future that includes a
commitment to continued developrnent and support of the NFTMS. The
Airport desires to establish a long-term relationship with a contractor who will
ensure that the NFTMS oan grow with the Airport's needs, and who will
provide a value-priced solution based on continued research and develop-
ment.
The Airport requires the updated NFT'MS to be installed no later than one
year afterNotice-to-Proceed, except installation ofnoise monitoring terminals
at new locations. These terminal locations will be determined at a later date.
