asked that a draft be provided to the Commission for their review at the next ARC
meeting.
B. LeMay Shores Review
Chair Petschel noted that LeMay Shores is part of the Augustus Shores project. She
stated that it would be appropriate for this group to make some type of recommendation
to Council regarding this project. She noted that this is located in a`no-build' zone. She
stated that she would feel mare comfortable about the project if the builders work with
John Nelson from the MAC. She stated that he is an expert on windows, doors, levels of
insulation and is in contact with several noise experts. She stated that she would like to
be ensured that the builders are consulting with Mr. Nelson throughout the project.
Council Member/NOC Representative Duggan agreed that the Council should hear a
recommendation from the ARC. He stated that the Council has reviewed this as a
concept from Hoffinan Homes and based on the impact of the first project at Augusta
Shores there is support for the second project.
City Administrator Danielson noted that there is currently a moratorium and that
Hoffinan Homes is working to complete another project at this time. Council
MeinberlNOC Representative Duggan indicated that the Council is considering removing
the moratorium around ihe first part of June.
Chair Petschel stated that Commissioner Stein attended the Planning Commission ��
meeting as a representative for the ARC and it was noted that the City Council did ask for
AR.C's recommendation for this project. She stated that the technology is changing
constantly and the ARC should work to ensure that noise levels are addressed as much as
possible throughout the process of the project.
Council Member/NOC Representative Duggan suggested that the Coinmission work
through a draft statement for review at the next ARC meeting.
C. NOISE Membership
Chair Petschel noted that one of the Council Members does not support the ARC's
membership in NOISE and suggested that the AR.0 clarify the need to remain a member
of this organization.
Council Member/NOC Representative Duggan agreed and suggested that the ARC
research costs from other Cities to determine what they spend in relation to what the City
of Mendota Heights spends on airport issues. He urged the Commission to unanimously
motion that this request for membership goes forward to Council for consideration.
Chair Petschel stated that she researched the benefits of inembership and reviewed the
purpose with the Commission. She stated that this is a national organization that �.
Commission Meeting March 8, 2006
Mendota Heights Airport Relations Commission
represents all Cities in the United States with respect to the iinpact of noise from airports.
� 1 She explained that they axe full time lobbyists who work with the Senate and Congress on
behalf of noise mitigation. She stated that it was explained to her that if a City has a
noise issue they could contact their N.O.I.S.E. representative to ask for their support. She
stated that the annual seminars are an excellent learniug opportunity adding that it
provides the ARC with an opportunity to be a part of a consortium with all members of
this organization. She reviewed the inany benefits and opportunities that the membership
provides to share resources and information through their network of inembers. She
stated that it also helps to facilitate communication amongst all of the Cities and provides
a large network of support.
Motion by Comrnissioner Linnihan, second by Commissioner Edstrom, to recornmend
approval of the ARC's membership of the N.O.I.S.E. organization. Motion carried
unanimously.
D. Plan of Action Policv
Chair Petschel stated that the ARC should decide on the date to present the ARC Plan of
Action to the City Council. She provided a brief overview of the presentation process
noting that this is an opportunity to be available for questions and to receive feedback
from the Council. City Administrator Danielson suggested the April 18, 2006 City
Council meeting.
E. RMT ANOM's
Chair Petschel reviewed a memo dated March l, 2006 from Chad Leqve with his
response regarding the MAC's concerns that the ANOM's have not been working
correctly for a short period of time and how that problem was mitigated. She stated that
Mr. Leqve would be discussing this issue at the next NOC ineeting.
F. NOC Update
Council Liaison/NOC Representative Duggan provided the Commission with the
following update:
• Provided brief history and overview of the NOC Commission
• Noted with opening of 17/35 and the coverage/education it was found that the City of
Apple Valley was not prepared for the level of noise and requested a full seat on the
NOC.
• It was decided that it was not appropriate to push for a full additional seat. AV put
forth a good case for representation on the sixth seat, which is a revolving seat, which
represents a number of communities. Idea of sixth seat is to hy and provide more
stability to their community with respect to noise and airport issues.
• Next NOC meeting, next Wed., will be an interesting discussion — expect NOC to
accept Apple Valley as an additional representative for the sixth seat.
• Noted that there would be a board seat change with the next term.
Commission Meeting March 8, 2006
Mendota Heights Airport Relations Commission
Chair Petschel stated that one of the points made was that the Cities of Lakeville and
Farmington had made an initial request to go on the rotating seat. She stated that she got
the impression from the Lalceville Representative that they felt comfortable
communicating their concerns to Apple Valley if AV was given a place on the revolving
sixth seat. She stated that the Cities on the rotating seat are concerned about adequate
representation. NOC encouxaged the Cities to join together, meet, elect a representative
from their group and develop a way for all of them to communicate with each other.
Commissioner Edstrom asked if they only have one vote for all six cities and could all of
the alternates attend the meetings. He agreed that there would be a need for all of the
alternates to collaborate together on issues that impact their respective cities.
Chair Petschel stated that one of the goals was to ensure that Apple Valley had some form
of representation and it is her belief that this was accomplished. She noted that Apple
Valley's principle complaints have been with respect to the landings.
Council Member/NOC Representative Duggan sfated that the Cities meet on the alternate
months of the NOC meeting on the third Wednesday of the month. He stated that the
next NOC meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, March 15, 2006 at 1:30 p.m.
Chair Petschel stated that the NOC meeting would be held at the MAC Headquarters and
reviewed the agenda with the Commission. She indicated that two items that could come �
up on the agenda for the joint Cities ineeting is that members want to lobby the Part 150
and the airport's refusal to insulate the 60 and 65 DNL to the Legislature; the other is the
2020 Plan noting that there are still a lot of concerns about the plan to move all of the
airlines to the Humphrey Airport. She noted that much of this is contingent on what
happens with Northwest in the future.
Chair Petschel stated that Diane Miller, City Administrator for the City of Eagan
approached the City of Mendota Heights to express their interest as to how the MA.0
representation is determined. She noted that the City of Eagan has their own Airport
Relations Commission and Ms. Miller asked if the Mendota Heights ARC would be
interested in this issue. She stated that it could be very interesting to invite the Eagan
ARC representatives to a meeting for a cross-discussion.
Acknowledge Receipt of Various Reports/Correspondence:
The Comrnission briefly reviewed the following documents:
Commissioner Erlich stated that he would like to be able to review the trends over last
three years. He stated that he would like to see the percentage of takeoffs and landings
per runways graphed to show trends. Chair Petschel explained that previous years are
provided as a comparison noting that the AR.0 does review and look for changes in the
trends. � � � ��

Aviation Forecast
PAS5ENGERS FI,YING IN U.S. WI�L TOP
ONE BILLION BX 2015, FAA PRED�CTS
The number of passengers flying on U.S. mainline and regional carriers is
expected to increase by 45 percent in a little more than a decade from 738.6 million
in 2005 to 1.07 billion in 2017, an average annual rate of 3.1 percent, the Federal
Aviation Administration reported Feb. 28 at it its annual forecast conference in
Washington, D.C.
The forecast for commercial aviation in 2006 anticipates only small gains but, in
the longer run, the aviation industry is expected to grow significantly, FAA said.
Skies in the future will be filled with more small planes and cargo aircraft, such as
air taxis and corporate jets, and passengers will fly on smaller commercial jets as
the airlines move to replace their jumbo jets with smaller aircraft, such as regional
jets, FAA predicted.
Domestic passenger enplanements by mainline and regional carriers are pro-
jected to dip slightly in 2006 (0.2 percent decrease) as a result of schedule cut-
backs by legacy carriers and then grow an a�erage of 3.2 percent per year during
the remaining 11-year forecast period. International passenger enplanements are

A coalition of airports, cities, and community groups seeking the mandatory
phaseout of Stage 1 and 2 business jets feels that their lobbying efforts in
Congress are laying the groundwork for federal legislation but it does not appear
to be imminent.
Called Sound Initiative, the coalition represents 19 airport authorities (including
the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey), 14 community groups, and three
cities.
In mid-February, John Lindemann, who is guiding the coalition, spent time on
Capitol Hill with Senate and House staff inembers discussing two options for a
phaseout of Stage 1 and 2 aircraft under 75,000 pounds: a straight three-year
phaseout and a three-year phaseout with an opt-out option for airports that want
to continue serving Stage 2 business aircraft.
Stage 2 aircraft under 75,000 pounds were exempt from the phaseout requirement
for hea�ier jets mandated by the Airport Noise and Capacity Act of 1990. The
coalition wants Congress to enact a similar phaseout for the lighter jets.
The most recent meetings on the Hill followed others late last year with commit-
tee staff, Lindemann told ANR. The coalition also has retained the services of
David Schaffer, the former staff director and counsel to the House Transportation

forecast to increase 4.5 percent in 2006 and then average 5
percent per year for the rest of the forecast period. Total
system passenger enplanements are expected to reach one
billionin2015.
Domestically, aviation system capacity (the number of
seats available) is expected to shrink 0.7 percent in 2006
triggered by cutbacks made by legacy carriers in their fleets.
FAA said this creates a ripple in regional carrier capaciiy,
which gets passenger feed from the legacy carriers. Re-
gional carrier capacity has grown by as much as 20 percent
per year since 2004. This year, the growth will be about 4.5
percent.
The size of domestic aircraft will decline in 2006 by 1.4
seats, FAA reported. Legacy carriers continue to replace
their wide-body and large aircraft with smalier, narrow-body
planes. Additionally, demand for 70-90 seat aircraftwill
continue to increase, which adds to the decline in the
overail number of seats per aircraft. Conversely, FA.A said,
passenger trip length will increase in 2006 by almost three
miles.
General aviation is expected to receive a boost from
relatively inexpensive twin-engine microj ets, which nnay
redefine "on-demand" air taxi service, FAA predicted. In
2007, microj ets wil l join the fleet, growing to 400-500 per year
through 2017. The number of general aviation hours flown
also will increase by 3.2 percent per year through 2017.
FAA said in its forecast that "it continues to be optimistic
about the future. Since 2000, the industry has been battered
with 9/1 l, the spread of the Severe Acute Respiratory
Syndrome (SARS), and record high fuel prices. An impor-
tant yardstick, though, remains the number of passengers
that traveled. Last year, that number was a record 739
million, up from 690 million the previous year."
U.S. commercial aviation remains on track to carry one
billion passengers by 2015, FAA said. "In the long run,
inexpensive tickets, a strong national economy, and
increasing demand for seats aboard aircraft should bode will
for the industry and consumers."
12eform ofTrustFund
While air travel will top one billion by 2015, "the ability of
the nation's aviation system to handle the increase in traffic
will depend on finding a better way to pay for airport
conshuction and safety improvement," Secretary of
Transportation Norman Y. Mineta said.
The number of people flying has shown steady growth
over the past three years, surpassing record levels recorded
before the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. While Mineta
called the FAA forecast "sunny," he warned that the picture
"could turn bleak" without reform of the federal Aviation
Trust Fund.
"Our growing aviation system needs a more stable and
predictable revenue stream," Mineta said. Currently, trust
fund revenues are collected based on a percentage of the
cost of airline tickets, and have dropped in recent years due
to cheaper airfares.
26
The Bush Administration expects to propose a plan this
year to revamp the trust fund formula. Mineta said "there
needs to be a more direct relationship between revenues
collected and services provided." The administration's trust
fund proposal "is still on the dra$ing table," Mineta said, and
addressed early critics of the still-to-be-released plan by
promising the process will continue to be "fair and open
throughout."
It is unclear at this point whether the special airport noise
and emissions set-aside in the trust fund, a major source of
funding for airport noise mitigation projects, will be retained
or revised.
"The real solution is not reducing traffic to fit capacity,"
Mineta said. "We must expand capacity to handle the
growing traffic. Everything that we are trying to accomplish
for the aviation system hinges on our success:'
But Mineta's call for increased aviation capacity flies in the
face of the Administration's recent request for a$765 million
cut in the f sca12007 appropriation for the Airport Improve-
ment Program, which funds airport development projects.
FAA Administrator Marion Blakey said the AIP funding
cut savings would help pay for the hire and training of new
air tra�c controilers. "Getting the right balance is our primary
concern," she told the conference, explaining that the FAA
was reluctant to spend money on new airport infrastructure
projects when the funding is needed to operate the air tr�c
system.
Plaaseout, fi•om p. 21
and Infrastructure Committee's Aviation Subcommittee.
No member of Congress approached by the coalition has
committed to sponsoring the legislation it seeks, Lindemann
said. However, he added, "we've had good discussions with
potential supporters of the issue, if not prospective sponsors
of specific language, that we believe will help lead to some
level of congressional interest in the form of hearings or
committee meetings in the coming months. However, while I
would never try to predict congressional actions on any
issue, the fact that this is an election year presents a chal-
lenge in moving legislation to law. With the Federal Aviation
Administration reauthorization just around the corner, we
continue to lay important groundwork."
Sound Initative was successful, however, in getting a
resolution introduced in the New Jersey Assembly calling on
Congress to mandate the phaseout of Stage 2 business jets.
It is currently pending consideration by the Assembly.
Daniel Reimer, ofthe Denver law firm Kaplan Kirsch &
Rockwell, said he is skeptical about the prospects for
legislation requiring the phaseout of Stage 2 business jets at
this point.
Kaplan Kirsch had explored the possibility of forming
another airport coalition, similar to Sound Initiative, following
its successful defense of Naples Airport's ban on Stage 2
business jets, the first imposed in the country. However,
Reimer told ANR that airport managers he talked to around
Airport Noise Report
C
March 1, 200�
the couniry told him that the problems of Stage 2 jets are not
the number one priority for most of them.
"Phasing out Stage 2 aircraft will have real impacts, and so
it will take a big push to get something through Congress,"
he said. "The trend is moving in the right direction but we're
not quite there yet "

AVIAT�ON ENVIROPIMENTAL ISSUES
NEED ATTENTION NOW, CONGRESS 7COLD
"Immediate, focused attention" is required to address the interdependent
aviation environmental challenges of noise, local air quality, and climate impacts,
the U.S. Congress was told in a report prepared by stakeholders from 38 organiza-
tions spanning the aerospace industry, federal government agencies, academia,
local governments, and communities.
The report, "Aviation and the Environment: A National Vision Statement
Framework for Goals and Recommended Action," was completed in December
2004 but just made public on the web site of the Partnership for AiR Transporta-
tion Noise and Emissions Reduction (PART'NER), a research consortium spon-
sored by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration, the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration, and Transport Canada.
"If not addressed, environmental impacts may well be the fundamental constraint
on air transportation growth in the 21�` century, the report concludes.
The report sets the following "national vision" for aviation and the environment:
"In 2025, significant health and welfare impacts of aviation community noise and
local air quality emissions will be reduced in absolute terms, notwithstanding the

PARTNER, the research consortium of mainly U.S. aerospace industries and
universities working on ways to mitigate aircraft noise and emissions, wants to
expand its collaboration to include reseazchers around the world and, as a first
step, is seeking more formal ties with European agencies.
A delegation representing PART'NER met last November and December with
three European research establishments considered to have overiapping research
interests and to be critical centers for collaboration: (1) the Environmentally
Compatible Air Transport System Network ofExcellence (ECATS), sponsored by
theEuropean Commission; (2) EUROCONTROL, and (3) TheNetherlands'
National Aerospace Laboratory.
ECATS (http://www.pa.op.dlr.de/ecats) focuses strictly on aviation emissions
and is composed of leading European research establishments and universities
that have aeronautical and environmental experience, PARTNER explained in its
latest newsletter, which is available on line at http://www.mit.edu/aeroastro/www/
partner.
The overall goal of ECATS is to create a"European Virival Institute for research
of environmental compatible air transport, to develop and maintain durable means
for cooperation and communication within Europe, and to strengthen Europe's
excellence and influence in the international community."

anticipated growth in aviation.
"Uncertainties regarding both the contribution of aviation
to climate change and the impacts of aviation particulate
matter and hazardous air pollutants, will be reduced to levels
that enable appropriate action.
"Through broad inclusion and sustained commitment
among all stakeholders, the U.S. aerospace enterprise will be
the global leader in researching, developing, and implement-
ing technological, operational, and policy initiatives that
jointly address mobility and environmental needs."
Three Recommendations to Congress
The report offers three recommendations to Congress, all
of which are already being implemented:
• Establish a federal interagency group to coordinate
governmental action to reduce the negative impacts of
aviation on local air qualiiy, noise, and climate change under
the auspices of the Joint Planning and Development OfFce
(JPDO), which is developing the next generation air trans-
port system. Such a group, called the Environmental
Integrated Product Team, has been formed within the JPDO
and is being chaired by Carl Burleson, director of the FAA's
O�ce ofEnvironment and Energy;
• Develop more effective tools and metrics to assess
and communicate aviation's environznental effects. The
metrics should better represent the human health and
welfare impacts. The tools should enable integrated
environmental and economic costlbenefit analysis of
policies, should incorporate the best scientific understand-
ing, and should be able to put aviation's impact in context
with that of other sources;
• The United States should "vigorously pursue" a
balanced approach toward the development of operational,
technological, and policy options to reduce the unfavorable
impacts of aviation. Because they offer near-term improve-
ments, priority should be given to developing improved
operational procedures for both noise and emissions
reduction; innovative market and land use options shou(d
be evaluated for mid-term improvements; and advanced
technologies should be developed for rapid insertion into
aircraft and engines in the long term.
The United States and the European Union have agreed to
pursue such a balanced approach to aviation environmental
mitigation in a draft open skies treaTy awaiting approval.
The draft treaty includes an environmentai provision which
will be the focus of a story in the next issue of ANR.
Climate Change Is Area of Uncertainty
The report to Congress stresses that "the topic of greatest
uncertainty and contention" is the climate change impact of
aircraft. Within the EU, the report notes, "the climate
impacts of aviation are identified as the most significant
adverse impact of aviation, in contrast to the United States
and many other nations where air quality and noise are the
current focus of attention. As a result, there are increasing
EU calls for regulation—trading, taxes and charges, demand
30
management and reduced reliance on aviation — even though
there is large uncertainty in the understanding of the climate j
effects of aircraft and appropriate means to mitigate these �,
effects."
Noise Problem Wi11 Grow
Regarding noise impact, the report concludes that it
rernains a significant problem and is anticipated to grow.
"The environmental impact of aircraft noise is projected to
remain roughly constant in the United States for the next
several years and then increase as air travel growth outpaces
expected technological and operational advancements.
Continuing increases in noise impact are expected for Europe
and Asia. In addition, new concerns are emerging such as the
audibility of aircraft noise in certain areas of national parks
and low frequency noise impacts around airports. There are
also growing efforts to develop supersonic business jets
with sonic boom signatures that may be acceptable for flight
over populated areas."

PARTNER, from p. 29
PARTNER said that ECATS would be a natural collaborator
on research on aviation emissions measurements, health and
atmospheric effects of aviation, and the socio-economic
impacts of these effects, as well as on education and
communication endeavors.
Last November, a PARTNER delegation met with ECATS
representatives in Paris and agreed on terms of reference and
plans to initiate collaboration between the research teams,
PARTNERreported in its newsletter.
Last December, the PAR.T'NER delegation met with repre-
sentatives ofEUROCONTROL (http://www.eurocontrol.int)
which manages European air tra�c. The FAA and
EUROCONTROL have worked together in the past and a
research action plan between the two agencies will call for
col laboration with PARTNER.
EUROCONTROL representatives were invited to attend the
PARTNER advisory board meeting, heid last week in Palm
Spring, CA, in hopes that it will pave the way for a more
formal arrangement between the two organizations.
Also invited to the PART'NER advisory board meeting in .
the hopes of establishing a more formal working arrangement
was The Netherlands National Aerospace Laboratory (hitp://
www.nlr.nl), a world leader in aircraft noise research. PAR.T-
NER said that it and The Netherlands lab are pursuing similar
interests in noise measurements and continuous descent
approach flight procedures and that each entity can leverage
its investment by working collaboratively.
PARTNER said that it also will be reaching out to Asia
Pacific researchers furthering its quest to make the consor-
tium a global enterprise.

LOCHARD P.ARTNERSHIP
ADLlS MULT�LA'TERA.TION
The Australia-based firm Lochard announced March 3 that
it has added state-of-the-art multilateration technology to its
suite of precision aircraft tracking technologies through a
partnership with the European firm Siemens ROKE Manor,
which pioneered multilaterat3on technalogy in the late 1980s
and holds more than 10 of the core patents on it.
The move makes Lochard more competitive with rival
Rannoch Corp., which also holds patents on multilateration
technology. The advanced technology allows aircraft
tracking where conventional radar is unavailable or has
limited coverage.
Lochard's partnership with Siemens comes one year a$er
Rannoch announced that it had entered a parinership with
the European firm Bruel & Kjaer, a leading manufacturer of
sound and vibration monitors.
Both firms appear to be taking steps to offset what some
observers perceived as their competitive shortcomings:
Rannoch was considered stronger in flight tracking than
noise monitoring, while Lochard was considered stronger in
noise monitoring than ilight tracking. Both parinerships will
strengthen those perceived competitive disadvantages.
"We are pleased to be working with a technology partner
of the caliber of Siemens," said Nate Higbie, Lochard's vice
president of technology. "They pioneered MI.AT
[multilateration technology] with their first installation at
London Heathrow in 1992 for ground surveillance and
approach monitoring and the first Wide Area Multilateration
system in 1993 and hold many of the core MLAT patents.
With their European Air Tra�c Control track record and raw
horsepower, they are the ideal partner to help us deliver
unmatched ML,AT performance to Lochard's airport clients,"
Higbie said.
The Siemens ROKE Manor multilateration technology has
a track record of over 10 years in Europe providing Air
Traffic Control in some of the world's busiest airspaces,
Lochard said.
Lochard and Siemens announced that they have been
contracted by the British firm BAA to install their
multilateration technology, called SkyTrak-M, at
Southannpton Airport.
In related news, Lochard announced on March 6 that the
California Deparhnent of Transport has awarded Title 21
certification of Lochard's new ANOMS 8 Airport Noise and
Operations Monitoring System.
The certification comes at the end of extensive system
verification and final acceptance of the San Francisco
International Airport's ANOMS 8 system by the acoustical
consulting firm Harris Miller Miller & Hanson Inc.
Lochard said it has received "overwhelming response" to
its ANOMS 8 system from both existing clients and new
airport clients. In California alone, the firm said, it is rolling
out ANOMS 8 at San Diego International, San Francisco
31
International, Long Beach, Torrance, Sacramento airport
system, Los Angeles International, Ontario International,
and Van Nuys airports.
The firm said its latest projects include iwo of the world's
largest monitoring systems for Los Angeles Intemational
Airport and the BAA London airports.

The Federal Aviation Administration announced March Z
that it has approved 30 of the 32 proposed noise mitigation
measures submitted in the Part 150 airport noise compatibil-
ity program for Boise Air TerminaUGowen Field in Boise,
Idaho.
Disapproved by the FAA were two measures: downwind
arrival flight tracks and Flight Management System (FMS) /
Global Positioning System (GPS) flight procedures to reduce
noise impact.
FAA said it rejected the downwind arrival flight tracks
because "no demonstrable noise benefit would accrue if this
measure were implemented on a voluntary basis. Vectoring
aircraft to south downwind would create operationai issues.
The aircraft would have to be blended with south traffic and
have to be kept clear of departing tra�c. The new result
would be increased workload, risk of error, and increased
flying time and cost for users."
Regarding the use of FMS/GPS technology to mitigate
noise impact, FAA said the Part 150 program did not
demonstrate noise benefits from this proposed measure,
even assuming 100 percent compliance.
"Many aircraft presently are not equipped to carry out
FMS/GPS procedures, so the compliance rate is unrealistic,"
the agency said. "Also, the FAA still would need to develop
airport-specific procedures, which would take some time to
study and determine their feasibility. This recommendation is
more appropriate to pursue outside of the Part 150 process
to determine local feasibility and possible inclusion in future
updates."
The FAA did not describe the 30 Part 150 program mea-
sures that were approved for Boise but said they would be
included in the Record of Approval for the program which
will be available online at http:www.faa.gov/

ACRP Seeks Research Problems for 2007
The Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) just announced the
projects it will fund in fiscal year 2006, including an effort to develop guidance
on compatible land use around airports.
Now the Transportation Research Board (T'RB), which manages the new
program, is soliciting research problem statements for fiscal year 2007. They
must be submitted by March 3].
The ACRP is an applied, contract research program seeking to develop near-
term solutions to issues facing airport operating agencies. Environmental
issues are among the broad range of research topics that will be considered
for funding.
The ACRP Oversight Committee will select the research problem statements
for fiscal 2007 in the summer of2006.
Problem statements, idealiy only one to three pages in length, may be
submitted via e-mail to acrp@nas.edu. For additional information, contact
ACRP Manager Christopher Jenks at tel: (202) 334-3089 or cjenks@nas.edu.
FAA Annonnces Milestone for WAAS
In what it called a major step toward reducing reliance on ground-based
navigation infrastructure, the Federal Aviation Administration announced on
March 6 that Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) use is being
extended from the current 250 feet above an airport's surface to 200 feet for
vertical instrument approaches.
The change will enable WAAS vertical guidance procedures to achieve an
operational capability similar to an instrument landing system where suitable
airport conditions exist, FAA said. Those airports that do not tiave the
appropriate conditions may require additional infrastructure and airspace
upgrades.
"This is a significant milestone, moving us closer to our ultimate goal of a
satellite-based airspace system," said FAA Administrator Marion C. Blakey.
WAAS is a satellite-based navigation system designed to improve the
accuracy, availability, and integrity of signals from Global Positioning System
(GPS) satellites.

Community challenges to proposed airport expansion plans for two of the largest
airports in California -- Los Angeles International and Oakland International --
have resulted in legal seitlement agreements that give communities more input in
the airport planning process.
Both airports recently announced steps they are taking to abide by these legal
settlements.
Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA), proprietor of LAX, announced that two
outreach meetings will be held March 15 and 18 for the public to participate in a
community-based planning process for the modernization of LAX.
"We are looking forward to hearing from our neighbors about their ideas for
modernizing LAX, and limiting noise and traffic problems in their communities,"
said Lydia H. Kennard, executive director of LAWA. "These meetings are a critical
first step in a new, more responsive public process. We invite the public to voice
its views and sentiments on the best way to improve LAX and help make it a good
neighbor."

A Feb. 20 story in the British newspaper The Gua1•dian brought to light the fact
that a draft open skies treaty between the European Union and the United States
includes Article 14, which would require the signatories to do the following:
* Weigh the costs and benefits of imposing measures to protect the environ-
ment, such as aircraft noise and emissions restrictions;
* Refer disagreements between countries on such measures to a committee
comprised of governments, airports, and airlines;
* Refer any disagreements that the committee cannot resolve to a three-person
international arbitration panel.
But assertions in The Guardian story that Article 14 would curtail the power of
EU states to impose environmental taxes and restrictions on aviation, that the
provision was forced on the Europeans, and that the draft treaty language is not
final are wrong, according to U.S. and European sources familiar with the treaty,
which has not been made public. The Guardian story was based on a copy of the
draft treaty obtained by the paper.
Carl Burleson, director of the Federal Aviation Administration's Office of
Environment and Energy, called The Gua�•dian story "bad journalism: ' The real
story is that, since both the EU and U.S. recognize that environmental issues
might arise [in liberalizingU.S. carriers' access to European airports], therewas

The meetings are the first steps in implementing the recent
settlement of lawsuits filed against the LAX master plan.
The LAX Specific Plan Amendment Study was one of the
conditions of the settlement, which called for the creation of
a prompt, community-based process to revisit and poten-
tially replace controversial "yellow light" projects ... with
alternative projects that increase airport e�ciency and
mitigate traffic, noise, and pollution," LAWA explained.
The study will consist of a series of public planning
zneetings over the next six months followed by a formal
environmental review process.
In January, the Los Angeles City Council unanimously
agreed to scrap a controversial $11 billion modernization
plan for LAX in exchange for cities near the airport and Los
Angeles County dropping their lawsuits challenging the
plan on the grounds that it underestimated the impact of the
project on noise, air quality, and tra�c (18 ANR 5).
20-Year Oakland MasterPlan Appraved
On March 7, the Oakland Board of Port Commissioners
approved a resolution allowing Oakland International
Airport to move forward with identifying specific develop-
ment projects through 2025.
"Preparing a master plan for Oakland International Airport
was a collaborative effort between Port of Oakland staff and
representatives of airport neighbors, and an excellent
learning experience for us all," said Kathleen Ornelas,
community relations representative for the City of San
Leandro. "San Leandro o�cials are supportive of the final
master plan document and we look forward to continuing to
work with the Port to study specific airport development
projects," she said.
The new master plan meets the requirements of a legal
settiement agreement between the Port and the City of
Alameda, the Citizens League for Airport Safety and
Serenity (CLASS), and Berkeley Keep Jets Over the Bay
Committee, which challengedthePort's earlier, more
ambitious expansion plan in 1997 on the grounds that it was
deficient. A California appeals court agreed and, in 2001,
issues a ruling ordering the Port to conduct additional
analysis on nighttime noise, air quality as it relates to human
health risk, and the risk to the airport expansion posed to
the Western burrowing owl, a species of special concern
underCalifornialaw.
The court-ordered supplemental environmental analysis
was completed in 2003 (15 ANR 163).
CLASS President Gary Hoffer said he viewed the stake-
holders meetings during the preparation of the master plan
"as a very useful process which can serve as a modei for the
communication needed to occur between Oakland Interna-
tional Airport and the citizens and governing bodies of
sunounding communities. CLASS was pleased to have
participated in this process and we look forward to continu-
ing productive interaction with the airport in the future."
Since June 2004, the Port staff has worked closely with the
Stakeholders Advisory Committee to prepare a master plan
for the airport. The committee includes representatives from
the cities of Alameda, San Leandro and Oakland, the San
Leandro Unified School District, Alameda County, and
airports users, including fixed-base operators, passenger and
cargo airlines, the Port's Airline Liaison O�ce, and flight
training/light general aviation aircraft operators.
Approved in the master plan is concept-level planning and a
feasibility study that focuses on:
• Near-term (2010-2012) and long-term (2025) airport
land use guidance;
• Potential near-term projects and accommodating
near-term airline passenger activity forecasts including
further study of a 17 to 21-gate terminal;
• A new South Field (air carrier) runway is not
proposed due to the speculative nature of long-term fore-
casts and to limitations on runway capacity that make it
unlikely that unconstrained airline passenger forecasts will
be realized;
• Tfie need for a new South Field air carrier runway in
the 2015 to 2025 timeframe. However, the Port said itwiil not
pursue a new air carrier runway at this time due to environ-
mental constraints and funding limitations; and
• A low-growth air cargo forecast aimed at existing air
cargo tenants and reflecting the Port's decision to
deemphasize marketing for new air cargo airlines and service.
Open Skies, from p. 33
thought to be a value on both sides to include an article [on
the environment] in the treaty. It was not forced on the EU.
Aiso, if you look at the agreement, it rea�rms both sides'
commitmentto ICAO [International Civil Aviation Organiza-
tion] principles on environmental protection," which urge a
cost/benefit analysis of environmentat mitigation measures.
The dra$ open skies treaty "enshrines ICAO principles. It
does not mean that environmental measures require the
approval of the other party. It means that disagreements
should go through a consultation process, similar to other
bilateral agreements. It is possible that something could go to
arbitration but that is very rare under other bilateral agree-
ments."
The �uropean source agreed with Burleson that there were
many inaccuracies in The Guardian story. The draft open
skies treaty would provide the EU and U.S. with a mechanism
to work out disagreements on environmental measures,
which is a good thing, he told ANR. The Guardian story
implied that the draft treaty would block EU countries from
imposing an emissions irading scheme or fuel tax on airlines
but that is not the case, he said, adding that no decision has
been made yet by the EU on whether it will impose such
measures and that ICAO will meet in September 2007 to
discuss emissions issues.
He also asserted that there are positive aspects to estab-
lishing a committee and arbitration panei to work out
problems between EU countries and the U.S.
He also stressed that final approval by the EU of the draft
open skies treaty is contingent on the U.S. issuing a final rule
Airport Noise Report
March 15, 2006
on foreign control of U.S. carriers that satisfies the EU. That
rule is due out by the end of April.
Meagan Walklet, who led the State Department O�ce of
Transportation Policy team that negotiated the draft open
skies treaty, stressed that establishment of a committee to
resolve differences between countries on environmental
restrictions is a way to find consensus on such matters and
to provide a forum on both sides of the Atlantic to discuss
issues of common interest. Formation of such joint cornmit-
tees is common in European agreements, she said.
FirstU.S./EUEnvironmental Issues Conference
In other action designed to bring U.S. and EU aviation
policy officials together, the first everEuropean-U.S. Airport
Environmental Issues Conference will be held on June 28-30
in Brussels.
It will be hosted by Brussels International Airport, FAA,
European Commission, European Civil Aviation Conference,
and U.S. and international airport and airline trade groups.
A key part of the agenda is to look at best practices in
addressing the environmental challenges of today and how
those challenges will be addressed in the future.

On March 13, the Federal Aviation Administration
announced that it has approved Part 150 airport noise
compatibility programs for Albany International and Atlantic
City International airports and that it is reviewing a proposed
modification to the noise mitigation program for Orlando
Sanford International Airport.
The Albany noise program contained 31 proposed noise
mitigation measures. Four of those measures were approved
only as voluntary measures and four measures were
disapproved in part.
FAA said that it disapproved in part a proposal to an-
nounce an approach procedure on the Automatic Terminal
Information Service (ATIS) "due to current agency proce-
dures on the use of the ATIS," which is a continuous
broadcast of recorded non-control information in high-
activity terminal areas.
FAA also disapproved in part engine maintenance run-up
policies pending submission of additional information.
Two land use measures (residential land acquisition and
acquisition of undeveloped land in business and commercial
zones) were disapproved in part in accordance with Section
189 ofthe Vision 100 FAA Reauthorization Act. Known
informally as the Lott Amendment, this provision of the act
bars the FAA in fisca12006 from funding noise mitigation
measures outside of the 65 DNL noise contours of airports.

New ]Kitakyushu Airport Opens
Some 600 people attending the March 12 opening ceremony for the New
Kitakyushu Airport, located on a man-made island in the sea of Suo almost
two miles offshore from Japan's second largest city in the Kyushu region.
Connected to the mainland by an access bridge, the island is just 15
kilometers from downtown Kitakyushu and was built on material dredged up
in the process of creating an international shipping lane as part of an unre-
lated port improvement project.
Because of its off=shore location, the new airport will have less noise impact
and will be closed only from 2 a.m. to 5 a.m.
The new airport "has been the dream of Kitakyushu's one million citizens
and people in the surrounding region," Mayor Koichi Sueyoshi said at the
opening ceremony, Kyodo News International reported." This is the airport
that will underpin Kitakyushu in the 21� century."

The Federal Aviation Administration adopted minor revisions to its Order
1050. lE on policies and procedures for implementing the National Environznental
Policy Act (NEPA) on March 27. None of the changes affect the way the agency
assesses noise impact in environmental analyses.
The new order (l 050. lE, Change 1: Environmental Impacts: Policies and Proce-
dures) became effective on March 20. It clarifies language in the older order, makes
changes for consistency, adds information and corrections, and makes editorial
changes.
However, the final revision does not include a proposed provision that would
have added a specific categorical exclusion (CATEX) from environmental review
for establishing or modifying a"prohibited area," a type of Special Use Airspace
used to bar overflights of sensitive sites, such as the homes of U.S. presidents.
The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) expressed concern that the
addition of a new CAT'EX for prohibited areas would limit the airspace in which
small aircraft owners operate. The addition of this CA'TEX was deferred by the
FAA pending further consideration of AOPA's concerns.

Add members of the New Jersey Assembly to the long list of state politicians
opposed to a major redesign of the airspace in the New York/New Jersey/Philadel-
phia metropolitan area under consideration by the Federal Aviation Administra-
tion which would significantly increase noise impact on communities near
LaGuardia andNewark airports.
In early March, the NJ Assembly passed by a vote of 69-2-5 a resolution asking
Congress to oppose the FAA's proposal, outlined in a Draft Environmental Impact
Statement on four plans it is considering for the airspace redesign (18 ANR 1). The
NJ Senate is considering a similar resolution.
The goal of the redesign is to improve safety, reduce delays, and handle growing
traffic along the northeastern section of the county. But noise mitigation was not
listed as a project goal, an omission which has state lawmakers, the governor, and
state congressmen and senators fuming in light of past FAA promises to resolve
noise problems caused by an earlier airspace redesign.
"What I find disturbing," said NJ State Sen. Thomas H. Kean, Jr, "is that in 2001
the FAA determined that aircraft noise pollution was the strongest and most
widespread concezn raised by the public. Now, four years later, they ignore this
study and develop a redesign project that would substantially increase noise

In related news, the FAA plans by the end of April to issue
a final 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 NEPA.
Order 5050.4B will replace Order 5050.4A, which was
issued in 1985, and is intended to supplement instructions
in Order 1O50.1E, Change 1.
The FAA asked for comment on its proposed revision to
its Environmental Handbook in December 2004. Airport
trade groups expressed concern that the proposed revision
contemplated FAA action without timely and meaningful
input from airport sponsors and that the revision would not
streamlinethe environmental review process (17 ANR 14).
Several airportJcommunity roundtables challenged the
FAA's assertion in the updated order that there are no
significant adverse noise impacts with changes in noise
exposure between the 60-65 DNL contour.

pollution for as many as 330,000 residents. I understand and
am supportive of the need to improve the efficiency of our
airspace, however not if it conflicts with the needs and
wants ofthe communities who will be most affected."
Said NJ Assemblyman Eric Munoz, "I am also troubled
that the FAA is pursuing projects that may have a substan-
tial effect on the environment. These environmental
concerns could cost the State as much as $2.5 billion."
The mayor of the Ciiy of Elizabeth, NJ, has vowed to take
the FAA to court if its airspace redesign causes a signifi-
cant impact on residents of her city, in which Newark
International Airport is partially located.
"We plan to sue in federal court if the plan they adopt
adversely affects us," Mayor Elizabeth Bollwage told the
Newark StarLedger. "Underthe environmental justice
clause, being an urban community next to an airport, we
have an awful lot to hang our hat on in federal court," the
mayor said, adding that the city is considering hiring legal
counsel. An aide to the mayor told ANR that such action
will occur only after the FAA has made a final decision on
the airspace redesign, which is not expected until next year.
The mayor has asked FAA to release for public comment
any measures it may propose to mitigate the noise impact of
the airspace redesign option it selects and also to allow
public comment on any environmental justice reinedial
measures it might propose.
The FAA has acknowledged that its airspace redesign
would have a disproportionate impact on minority communi-
ties near Newark and LaGuardia as defined in Executive
Order 12898 on Environmental7ustice.
The FAA is in the process of holding a series of nearly 30
public hearings on the Draft EIS for its proposed air route
changes, which cover 31,000 square miles over a five-state
area. Some 21 airports were included in the project but
particular focus was placed on five: Newark, Teterboro, J.F.K.
International, LaGuardia, and Philadelphialnternational.
Because noise mitigation is not a goal of the project, the
FAA. ruled out a plan developed by a coalition of New
Jersey communities —the New Jersey Coalition Against
Aircraft Noise (NJCAA.N) –to mitigate noise impact by
routing planes departing Newark over the Atlantic Ocean to
gain altitude before turning back over land. The altemative
preferred by the FAA would have the most noise impact of
the four considered but also would have the most benefits in
terms of ineeting the project goals.
NJCAA.N President Robert Belzer said that Congress
directed the FAA in the Aviation Safety and Capacity
Expansion Act of 1990 to mitigate the noise impact of an
earlier airspace redesign over New Jersey (called the Ex-
panded East Coast Plan) and that the agency had subse-
quently promised to take such action.
"NJCAAN believes that Congress intended for the agency
to provide aircraft noise reduction that resulted from the prior
redesign completed in the late 1980s with the current
redesign project," he told ANR. "NJCAAN believes that the
New Jersey public deserves an answer from the FAA as to
why it did not include noise reduction in the current project"
Santa Barbara

On March 21, the Federal Aviation Administration an-
nounced its overall approval of the Part 150 noise compatibil-
ity program for Santa Barbara Airport in California and its
approval of noise exposure maps for Detroit Metropolitan
Wayne Couniy Airport.
The Part 150 program for Santa Barbara contained 20
proposed actions for noise mitigation on and off the airport.
The FA.A granted approval for one noise abatement element,
10 land use management measures, and all four program
management elements. They are described in the FAA's
Record of Approval of the program, which will be put on the
agency's web site at http://www.faa.gov/airports_airtraffic/
airports/environmentaUairport_noise.
The FAA did not approve three noise abatement elements
of Santa Barbara's noise mitigation program, said that one
program element required no federal action, and said that one
land use management element was disapproved in part
pending submission of additional information.
Rejected by the FAA was an informal flight procedure
intended to reduce departures over residential areas by
discouraging early turns. It would have resulted in 1681ess
people exposed to 60-65 CNEL when compared to the existing
2008 baseline population and would not have changed the
number of people impacted in the 65 CNEL contour. FAA
disapproved the measure because it would not provide a
noise benefit within the 65 CNEL contour.

. Also disapproved by the FAA was a proposed measure to
install precision approach indicator lights to a runway and to
raise the glide slope from 3.0 to 3.25 degrees. FAA said such
action would not provide a measurable noise benefit.
The agency also disapproved another proposed measure
that would encourage the use of Differential Global Position-
ing System (DGPS), AreaNavigation (RNAV), and Flight
Management System (FMS) technologies to better define
approach and departure routes in the future. FAA said it
needs additional information to analyze this proposal. The
Santa Barbara noise mitigation program provided no
information on the potential effects of such measures on
noise at the airport, FAA explained.
Regarding Detroit Metropolitan Airport, the FAA ap-
proved updated noise exposure maps submitted by the
Wayne County Airport Authority. An updated Part 150
program is under development for the airport and will be
submitted to the FAA for approval by the end of the year at
the earliest.

NEW BOEING TECHNOLOG'K
HELPS PILOTS SELECT ROUTES
Pushed by rising fuel costs, UPS has become the launch
customer in the United States for new cutting-edge technol-
ogy developed by Boeing that gives pilots instant access to
aeronautical charts and other information they need to fly
routes into and out of airports that reduce airplane emissions
and noise pollution and improve fuel efficiency.
UPS will reirofit 107 of its Boeing 757s and 767s with
Boeing's Class 3 Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) technology. In
addition, EFB will be installed on eight new 747-400 freight-
ers ordered last yeaz by UPS and due for delivery in early
2007.
"EFB is a core technology of Boeing's vision of an e-
Enabled air transport system, where data, information, and
knowledge can be shared instantly across an air-transport
enterprise," Boeing explained. "Using software developed
by Boeing and its subsidiary, Jeppesen, as well as hardware
from Astronautics Corp, ofAmerica, Boeing's Class 3 EFB
digitally delivers vital charts, manuals, and documents,
giving pilots instant access to the information they need.
Boeing's EFB also can offer improved communication
between an airplane flight deck crew and airline maintenance
teams, which supports timely repairs of planes and helps
reduce unscheduled repairs."
UPS is working with ACSS of Phoenix, AZ, to develop
SafeRoute TM, a set of A.DS-B-based software applications,
Boeing explained. "UPS will use the Boeing EFB to display
the SafeRoute information, which will help UPS reduce
airplane emissions and noise pollution, improve fuel
e�ciency, expand airport capacity, and improve airport
safety on the ground," the company said.
tJPS has been exploring EFB as a tool to help materially
streamline its operations into and out of key airports,"
Boeing said. "In a simple but elegant use of the Electronic
39
Fiight Bag, UPS will map more e�cient flight paths for its
fleet, reducing the need for hoiding patterns and cutting
flighttimes."
"In today's world of rising fuel prices, it's more critical
than ever to operate efficiently," said UPS Air.line and
Intemational Operations Vice President Bob Lekites.
"Implementing this system is just one of the many ways UPS
uses technology to conserve fuel, which benefits both
customers and the environment "
Said ACSS President Kris Ganase, "We have come
together as a team to move the industry forward. We're
excited to work with Boeing to disptay SafeRoute informa-
tion for UPS pilots and help provide fuel savings, reduced
emissions, noise abatement, and improved flight safeiy:'
Boeing said that, with 80 Gigabytes of available memory, its
Class 3 EFB provides plenty of room for new applications,
such as enhanced electronic checklists, real-time weather,
and real-time Notice to Airmen (NOTAIv� information. In
addition, the open-architecture of the EFB and its integration
into the airplane's larger systems, "give it unmatched
potential for Boeing, airlines, and even third-party software
designers to create even more exciting applications."
In Brief�
Carole Wedl Retires from Oakland
In late January, Carole Wedl retired from the Port of
Oakland, where she served as manager of noise and environ-
mental compliance for Oakland International Airport for 16
years.
Known for her gregarious and effervescent personality,
Wedl was toasted at a retirement luncheon attended by
several hundred friends and colleagues.
During her tenure as manager of the noise office, Wedl
helped develop a court-ordered Supplemental Environmental
Impact Report (SEIR) on the planned expansion of Oakland
International that addressed sleep disturbance in a compre-
hensive manner by presenting as much information regard-
ing the nighttime environment and potenfial effects on sleep
as was feasible.
That document, released in 2003, still serves as a timely
reference for other airports because of its excellent explana-
tions, in lay terms, of noise metrics and methodologies, sleep
disturbance studies, and a dose-response curve.
No replacement for Wedl has been selected yet.
Porfland Gets New Noise Manager
Jason Schwartz, the former noise officer at St. Petersburg-
Clearwater International Airport, will replace Peggy McNees
as noise manager for the Port of Portland, OR.
"He brings a wealth of experience to this important role,"
the Port of Portland said, noting that Schwartz built an
extensive noise program from the ground up at St. Peters-
burg-Clearwater, developing several noise abatement
initiatives, including a Federal Aviation Administration-
approved "Fly Friendly" program, and created new strate-

Gilfillan Honored forPioneering Work
Noise consultant Walter Gilfillan, who pioneered the idea of a Community
Roundtable to bring together diverse stakeholder groups to address airport
noise issues and later launched the University of California at Berkeley's
annual aviation noise symposium, was honored for his groundbreaking work
at this year's conference, held March 5-8 in Palm Springs.
The new Gilfillan Award was named in honor of the man who had the vision
to start the symposium 21 years ago and recently expanded it into aircraft
emission issues.
"He pioneered the idea of a Community Roundtable," Donna Reid, confer-
ence manager for the UC Berkeley Tech Transfer Program at the Institute of
Transportation Studies, said in presenting the surprise accolade.
The idea for the roundtable grew out of consulting work Gilfillan did for San
Francisco International Airport in th� late 1970s, which resulted in a Joint
Land Use Study, a project of the City and County of San Francisco and
County of San Mateo. This study became the first FAA-approved/accepted
Part 150 program in the country in 1983, Reid said.
"For more than 20 years now, Walt has led the SFO Roundtable; and a few
years ago began another equally successful one at Los Angeles International
Airport. Por these two major West Coast airports he has worked tirelessly,
helping to resolve conflicts, insure better communications, and assist the
efforts of all stakeholders to move towards an equitable resolution of prob-
lems."
"His unique personality and people sawy has helped SFO address commu-
nity concems about aircraft noise and to work wieh the public on very
technical issues. The SFO Roundtable celebrates its 25"' anniversary this year
and is widely recognized as a model for intergovernmental cooperation."
After launching the SFO Roundtable, Gilfillan astutely saw the need to help
educate stakeholders about noise issues by launching a symposium on the
subject through Berkeley's ITS Extension program. That conference has
grown over the years to become the premiere noise and emissions conference
in the world.
The new Gilfillan Award will be presented annually to members ofthe airport
noise and emissions stakeholders community "for their special efforts at
tackling environmental issues in aviation and finding ways to advance
understanding and collaborative problem-solving," Reid said.
