Lauderdale Hollywood Int'l CITY OF DANIA BEACH ASKS APPEALS COURT TO VACATE APPROVAL OF RUNWAY EXTENSION The City of Dania Beach, FL, asked the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit to vacate the Federal Aviation Administration's Record of De- cision (ROD) approving the extension of the south runway at Ft_ Lauderdale -Holly- wood International Airport. "This case is about the substantive limits on FAA's discretion to approve airport development projects proposed by local airport sponsors, and the agency's lack of fidelity to its own rules," Neal McAliley of the Miami law firm White & Case, who represents Dania Beach, told the court in a Feb. 24 brief, which also requested oral argument in the case. "The FAA approved a major runway extension (Alternative Blb) [an extension of the south runway] that will cause significant adverse impacts to thousands of local residents, parks, and wetlands, even though the agency had before it another runway alternative (Alternative Cl) [a new north runway] that would meet the pro- ject's `purpose and need', reduce noise levels experienced by local residents, avoid park and wetland impacts completely, and cost $276 million less to build," the City (Continued on p. 22) Legislation NICCARTHY WORDING ON BILL TO PROVIDE TAX CREDITS FOR SOUNDPROOFING HOMES Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D -NY) said March 5 that she hopes to introduce leg- i islation by the end of March to provide tax credits to people who want to sound- proof rooms in their homes to reduce aircraft noise. The legislation would apply nationally but it is aimed at her constituents in communities on Long Island who are impacted by aircraft noise from JFK Interna- tional and LaGuardia Airports. The legislation is still in the process of being developed, ANR was told, and eli- gibility for the tax credits would be based on a homeowner's distance from the air- port. However, it has not yet been decided if distance from the airport will be expressed in tenns of miles or noise contours. That is stili to be worked out. McCarthy has not yet sought co-sponsors for the bill. The congresswoman worked to obtain language in H.R 915, the Federal Avia- tion Authorization Act, that expresses the sense of Congress that the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, proprietor of JFK and LaGuardia airports, should conduct a Part 150 airport noise compatibility study, giving special attention to the areas around JFK and LaGuardia.

FAA FAA RULE REQUIRES NOISE CERTIFICATION DOCUMENTS On March 2, the Federal Aviation Administration issued a final rule amending its operating rules to require U.S. opera- tors flying outside the United States to carry aircraft noise certification information onboard their aircraft. On Oct. 23, 2008, the FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) proposing to amend 14 CFR Part 91 to add a new paragraph in Sec. 91.703 to require the carriage of noise certification documents on board aircraft that leave the United States. As stated in the NPRM, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) adopted this requirement inAmend- ment 8 of Annex 16, Volume I on Feb. 23, 2005, and it be- came effective on Nov. 24, 2005. Paragraph 1.4 of Annex 16 now requires that "documents attesting noise certification shall be approved by the State of Registry and required by that State to be carried on the air- craft." FAA's final rile brings the United States into complianc with the ICAO requirement.

Legislatioiz, from p.21 The FAA reauthorization bill passed the House on May 21, 2009, but it still awaiting action in the Senate. It also in- cludes a major change in policy that would allow airports to use federal Airport Improvement Program grants to fluid sound insulation programs without the need to participate in the FAA's Part 150 program. That amendment, authored by Rep. Joseph Crowley (D - NY), is intended to allow the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey — which has resisted conducting Part 150 studies at its airports — to use AIP funds to support a residential sound insulation program around LaGaurdia but it also would apply nationwide. The amendment was the product of a May 2009 meeting that Crowley organized between the officials of the PANYNJ, the FAA, and Rep. James Oberstar (D -MN), chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. Rep. McCarthy disclosed that she is in the process of de- veloping legislation to provide tax credits for sound insulation of homes in a statement concerning the FAA's announce- ment that it will close a major runway at JFK for reconstruc- tion. Garden City, NY, residents expressed opposition to the runway closure and concern that it would increase noise im- pact over their community. McCarthy said she understood her constituents' concerns Airport Noise Report March 5, 2010 t 24 ADVISORY BOARD John J. Corbett, Esq. Spiegel & McDiarmid Washington, DC about aircraft noise. "I along with my constituents, have met with officials from the Port Authority and FAA. Unfortunately, the runway closure at JFK will not help the situation. But, the repairs on the runway are neces- sary for safety reasons and the closure has been scheduled for a tune pe- riod that traditionally would not change the regular operation of the airport," she said.

Vincent E. Mestre, P.E. The Air Force announcement came on March 1, just hours before a se - President, Mestre Greve Associates ries of public meetings on the proposal to locate the F -35s at Tuscon Inter - Laguna Niguel, CA national began. An Air Force spokesman told the Arizoiza Daily Star that the military Steven F. Pflaum, Esq. has only a few F -35s and cannot spare them for a flyover "because the McDermott, Will & Emery few F -35s that exist have limited flying hours available and are engaged Chicago in critical development, testing, and evaluation activities." The Air Force announced in October 2009 that it has selected the Mary L. Vigilante 162nd Fighter Wing of the Arizona National Guard at Tucson Interna - President, Synergy Consultants tional as one of five possible locations to site the F-35 for pilot training. Seattle Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (R -AZ) supports bringing the F -35s to Tucson but called it "unacceptable" that the Air Force had not released noise data in advance of public meetings on the basing that are going on this month in the Tucson area. An April 2009 Joint Communications Release by the Air Force Joint Strike Force Program Office and Lockheed Martin, found on the hnternet by ANR, provides 1,000 foot flyover noise levels for the F-35 obtained in tests conducted at Edwards Air Force Base in October 2008. The report concludes that the F-35 acoustics are comparable to other military jet aircraft. But, a table in the report shows that the F -35A pro- duced a far -field noise level of 121 dB SEL (Sound Exposure Level). The F-16 — the fighter jet currently being flown by the Air National Guard at Tucson — produced only 114 dB SEL noise level. That is a 7 dB SEL difference in noise level between the F-35 and F- 16 and would be noticeable. Anne H.

Under the settlement, the Air Force will continue the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process with the City's full participation and encouragement, including the preparation of a Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement. In that process, the Air Force has committed to evaluating alternatives, not previously evaluated, including the use of Duke Airfield and construction of a new runway(s) at Eglin Main, which, if selected, could avoid potentially adverse JSF related noise impacts on the City of Valparaiso and its residents. The Air Force also has agreed to provide a forum to address noise issues with the affected couzmunity. In addition, in the spirit of cooperation, the Air Force has agreed to pay 560,000 towards Valparaiso's litigation fees. ( According to Maj. Gen. C.R.

The remotely piloted, 500 -pound airplane with the silhouette resembling a manta ray -also called a hybrid wing body — is a tool of NASA's new Environ- mentally Responsible Aviation, or ERA, Project, which aims to develop the tech- nology needed to create a quieter, cleaner, and more fuel-efficient airplane for the future. A flying test bed such as the X -48B enables NASA to assess and validate the key technologies. The recently concluded flight tests ascertained the handling and dying qualities of such an aircraft at speeds typical of landings and takeoffs. "This project is a huge success," said Fay Collier, manager of the ERA Project in NASA's Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate. `Bottom line: the team has proven the ability to fly tailless aircraft to the edge of the low -speed envelope safely." Until recently, Collier was principal investigator for NASA's Subsonic Fixed (Continued on p. 44) Airport Noise Report .in This Issue... Military Jets ...

We appreciate and understand the real concern on the part of the Valparaiso City Commission for the welfare of the citizens of Valparaiso regarding the potential JSF related noise impacts." "The City is encouraged by the Air Force's commitment to explore reasonable alternatives as part of the Air Force's Supplemental Environmental impact Statement. The City looks forward to participating in that process. 1 anticipate continued cooperative relations with Eglin," said Valparaiso Mayor Bruce Arnold. The 2005 round of Base Realignments and Closures (BRAC) placed the Initial Joint Training Site (IJTS) for the F 35 at Eglin Air Force Base. In February 2009, the Air Force signed a Record of Decision (ROD) to base 59 F 35 fighters at Eglin as part of the IJTS. The Air Force issued the ROD afl.er an Environmental Impact Statennent (EIS) found that operation of the IJTS, as then proposed, would have signifi- cant noise impacts on the City of Valparaiso. The ROD ac- knowledged that additional study of the noise impacts associated with the IJTS would further the purposes of the NEPA and committed the Air Force to completing a supple- mental EIS studying those impacts. The BRAC Statute requires any challenge to the EIS for a BRAC action to be brought within 60 days of a final deci- sion. Thus, on March 29, 2009, the City of Valparaiso filed suit against the Air Force. Both Valparaiso and the Air Force sought a cooperative resolution of the litigation. The parties jointly requested the Court stay the litigation to allow them to explore a compromise agreement. After several months of ne- gotiations, they resolved the suit. "This is great news," said Ms. Kathleen Ferguson, Air Force Deputy Assistant Secretary for Installations. "The Air Force is committed to an open. and transparent process to ad- dress F 35 basing issues. We are working hard to ensure af- fected communities are involved, know what to expect and that they appreciate and are confident the Air Force is willing to listen to their concerns. I thank the City of Valparaiso for its commitment to work with us." Chesapeake Regional VA JURY AWARDS N®MONEY TO HOMEOWNERS IN NOISE CASE A jury on March 26 awarded no money to homeowners who filed a lawsuit against the Chesapeake (VA) Regional Airport, despite a judge's ruling that their property had been damaged by aircraft overflights that were directed over their home following the installation of an Instrument Landing System (ILS) in 2003. Joseph T. Waldo of the Norfolk, VA, law firm Waldo & Lyle, who represents the plaintiffs, immediately filed a mo- tion to set aside the jury verdict asserting that, "because the Court had already detennined that the Chesapeake Airport Authority had damaged Petitioner's property, the amount of damages, as a matter of law, had to be greater than zero dol- lars." He asked the Circuit Court of the City of Chesapeake to empanel a new jury to determine just compensation in the lit- igation. The proper measure of damages in a case where no part of the property has been taken but the property has been dam- aged by a public improvement is the difference between the fair market value of the property immediately before and after the constriction of the public improvement, Waldo as- serted in his motion. Waldo said that his appraiser estimated that the damage to the Osipovs' home was 532,000. The Airport Authority, which reportedly spent more than $300,000 defending the lawsuit, said it hoped that about a dozen additional lawsuits filed by homeowners in the same development will nwv be dropped in light of the jury's action. But Waldo said he plans to move forward with them. When the ILS system was activated in 2003, it allowed 19-24 seat passenger jets to land late at night and allowed large military helicopters to conduct training operations. Planes are coming in over homes at altitudes below 500 feet, Waldo said. The homes are beyond the airport's 65 dB DNL contour but experience single event noise levels greater than 100 dB, he told AN.R. Case History Chesapeake Circuit Judge Randy Smith ruled in 2007 that the Osipovs' property was "damaged" by the increased over- flights caused by the ILS but not "taken" under the Virginia Constitution, which requires that the property be deprived of all economic use to be considered taken. In this case, the homeowners sold their home in 2006 for $527,450, which is more than twice what they had paid for it in 2001 ($240,000). Judge Smith held that the homeowners, if not compen- sated by the airport authority, are entitled to a hearing by a jury to determine just compensation. The judge held that a claim of noise and vibration are a disturbance in the use and enjoyment of the homeowners' property, which is a right contained in the legal "bundle of rights" property owners in Virginia possess. He ruled that the homeowners had suffered injury to their property in the na- ture of noise and vibration which constituted a nuisance as it affects the property itself by prohibiting quiet use and enjoy- ment. "It is clear that the property has suffered a significant in- crease in the volume, frequency and vibrations from noise due to aircraft flying directly overhead," Smith wrote in his opinion. He said there is no requirement that the homeownerses- Airport Noise Report Anri19. 2010 tablish a threshold dollar amount in order to have the court find constitutional damages.

John Yarnnrth (D -KY) joined representa- tives from the Louisville Regional Airport Authority to an- nounce that more than $9.3 million in federal finding was headed to Louisville to expand and upgrade Louisville Inter- national Airport and to support noise mitigation efforts. A total of $9,302,923 from the Federal Aviation Adminis- tration (FAA) will go toward several different projects at Louisville International, including the construction of a new taxiway and the purchase of two new "snow brooms" that will help keep runways clear during winter weather. $5 million in funding will also go to support the Airport Authority's voluntary relocation program, which helps resi- dents affected by noise in the wake of the airport's expansion find new homes. "We are certainly grateful for Congressman Yannuth's support and assistance in securing these grants, as they will help us move closer to completing the Voluntary Residential Relocation Program and provide funding for needed airfield equipment and repairs. In addition, the monies will help the Authority enhance its airfield facilities, putting in place 21st century, state-of-the-art infrastructure," said Phil Lynch, Chairman of the Louisville Regional Airport Authority Board. of Directors. Gulfport -Biloxi Int'l AIRPORT GETS $6 M AIP GRANT FOR INSULATION, EASEMENTS Senators Thad Cochran and Roger Wicker (R -Miss.) an- nounced March 31 that the Federal Aviation Administration has approved a $6.0 million grant to support noise abatement activities at the Gulfport -Biloxi International Airport, part of an ongoing multi-year airport expansion project. The grant will be awarded to the Gulfport -Biloxi Re- gional Airport Authority to acquire avigation easements and support residential sound insulation efforts. "This grant will be used to help mitigate the negative ef- fects of noise from the Gulfport -Biloxi airport. The noise abatement project is part of an ongoing and broader expan- sion program that will ensure that the airport can grow, in- crease its flight activities and still be a good neighbor on the Mississippi Gulf Coast," Cochran said The FAA award will be used for a noise abatement project that will include installing insulation to improve interior soundproofing in 93 nearby homes. The project will also in- volve the acquisition of noise easements and some homes within the "higher noise contour generated by aviation activ- ity." Residences generally affected by the abatement program are those within a 65-69 and higher DNL area around the air- port. NASA, from p. 42 Wing Project, which established the partnership with Boeing to conduct initial, fundamental technology development ef- forts with the X -48B. The ERA Project lie now leads is part of a new research program NASA initiated to help further mature promising technology bel'ore transfer to industry. The team completed the 80th and last flight of the pro- ject's first phase on March 19, almost three years after the X - 4813's first flight on July 20, 2007. In addition to NASA and Boeing, the team includes Cran- field Aerospace Limited of the United Kingdom, and the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory of Dayton, OH. In the mid -2000s, NASA identified low -speed flight con- trols as a development challenge for aircraft such as the hy- brid wing body. This challenge, and the challenge of building a non -circular, pressurized fuselage structure, have been the initial focuses of research since then. The ultimate goal is to develop technology for an environmentally friendly aircraft that makes less noise, burns less fuel, and emits less noxious exhaust. "These 80 research flights provided engineers with in- valuable test data and allowed the team to completely meet the initial project test objectives," said Tim Risch, Dryden's X -48B project manager. The milestones accomplished by the team focused on three main technical objectives: flight envelope expansion, aircraft performance characterization, and validation of flight control software limiters. The first objective, envelope expansion, consisted of 20 flights over a year-long period. For these Flights, the aircraft was flown through a variety of maneuvers intended to define the overall flight capabilities and discern the general stability and handling characteristics of the aircraft. Completion of these tests resulted in a preliminary flight envelope adequate for transition to higher risk testing. The second objective, aircraft perfonnarnce characteriza- tion, focused on stall testing to define the boundaries of con- trolled flight, engine -out maneuvering to understand how to control the aircraft if one or more engines malfunctioned, and parameter identification flights to evaluate how movements of flight control surfaces affected the airplane's performance. In 52 flights from July 2008 through December 2009, en- gineers quantified the dynamic response of the aircraft by sending computer commands to the X -4813's flight control surfaces and measuring how quickly the plane responded to the inputs. The third and most important objective were limiter as - Airport Noise Report ril 9. 2010 45 ANR EDITORIAL saults, in which the remote pilot deliberately exceeded the defined bound- aries of controllability — such as angle of attack, sideslip angle and acceler- ADVISORY BOARD ation — to see whether the airplane's computer could keep it flying steady.

Peter J. Kirsch, Esq. .Detroit Alletro Kaplan, ICirsch & Rockwell LLP Denver AIRPORT GETS $8.35 M TO CONSTRUCT Vincent E. Mestre, P.E. ENGINE GROUND RUN—UP ENCLOSURE President, Mestre Greve Associates Detroit Metropolitan Airport received an $8.35 million FAA grant to Laguna Niguel, CA design and construct a Ground Run-up Enclosure (GRE) at the airport. The GRE is the centerpiece of a list of 20 recommendations which the Steven F. Pflaum, Esq. Wayne County Airport Authority submitted to the FAA after consulting Neal, Gerber & Eisenberg LLP with a committee made up of representatives of communities in the vicin- Chicago ity of the airport. Airlines will taxi aircraft into the three -sided GRE and run the engine IV'I.ary L. Vigilante at various levels up to full -power for periods of time ranging from a few President, Synergy Consultants minutes to as long as 45 minutes. Currently, the airlines perform these Seattle tests in open designated areas adjacent to runways. "A ground run-up enclosure will have a noticeable impact for our neighbors because the airlines often conduct aircraft engine maintenance at night when ambient noise levels are low," said WCAA CEO Lester Robinson. "This enclosure will absorb and deflect a significant amount of noise resulting from airline run -ups." To maximize the effectiveness of the GRE, it will be centrally located on DTW's airfield, just north of taxiway A-5. The structure may be as large as 350 -feet by 300-feet—large enough to accommodate a. B747-400 aircraft. "In addition to providing jobs and business opportunities for our com- munities, it is also important that the airport strives to be a good neigh- bor," said Wayne County Executive Robert Ficano. "I applaud Congressman Dingell for his assistance in securing this grant." Constriction on the enclosure will begin this year. Anne Fl.

M A weekly update on litigation, regulations, and technological developments Volume 22, Number 12 April 16, 2010 Demonstration Fliahts AA, AIR FRANCE CONDUCT FIRST `GLEN' DEMO FLIGHTS UNDER US/EU AIRE INITIATIVE Air France and American Airlines conducted on April 6 and 7 the first two demonstration flights under the Atlantic Interoperability Initiative to Reduce Emis- sions (AIRE) program, a joint initiative between the Federal Aviation Administra- tion and the European Commission designed to demonstrate that trans-Atlantic flights can be flown with reduced CO2 emissions and noise impact. AIRE, a joint initiative among the FAA, the EC, and several international air- lines, is designed to speed up application of new technologies and operational pro- cedures, which have a direct impact on reducing carbon emissions and noise pollution as well as conserving fuel. Part of the AIRE project includes gate -to -gate flight demonstrations to test the benefits of technologies that will be used with the FAA's NextGen and the EC's Single European Sky ATM Research (SESAR) air traffic management systems. The AA and Air France demonstration flights were flown from Paris -Charles deGaulle International Airport to Miami International Airport and were conducted during a normally scheduled flight to obtain real-time benefits.

"The FAA has worked closely with Lee County communities and local officials to address concerns about aircraft noise," Kathleen Bergen, spokeswoman for the FAA's Southern Regional Office, toldANR. 'For more than a year, the FAA has considered all reasonable proposals to `fine-tune' air traffic procedures that were implemented in October 2005 as part of the Florida West Coast Airspace Redesign. According to Federal standards, the area impacted by aircraft noise [65 dB DNL contour] does not extend beyond the boundaries of Southwest Florida International Airport. Even though no homes are in the noise -impacted area, the FAA responded to the communities, always ensur- ing that all areas were treated equally. No areas were favored over others as the procedures were refined. The FAA will continue to work with the airport and Lee (Continued an p. 48) Airport Noise Report In ThisIssue... AIRF ...

The procedures included shorter taxiing time, continuous climb, optimum altitude and speed en route, and continuous descent into Miami International Airport. During the departure and arrival phases, the procedures used also helped minimize noise levels by up to 7dB (a re- duction of 3(113 is the equivalent of halving noise levels). The coordinated application of these procedures during the flight cut CO2 emissions by 6-9 metric tons and saved 2-3 metric tons of jet fuel, Air France said. When these optimizations are applicable to all Air France long-haul flights to and from North America, CO2 emissions will be cut by 135,000 metric tons per year, with fuel savings of 43,000 metric tons. On April 7, American Airlines became the first U.S. air- line to fly an AIRE demonstration flight. It has not yet re- ported the results of the flight in terms of reduced emissions and noise impact. "It is critical that the aviation industry work with our Air Traffic Control partners to demonstrate the benefits of NextGen technology today. By implementing this technology as quickly as possible, we can make real and meaningful strides to reduce our impact on the environment, increase sys- tem capacity and reduce air traffic delays," said Bob Reding, American's Executive Vice President - Operations.

Bob Hope Airport AUTHORITY SEEKS CONSULTANT TO UPDATE NEM, PART 150 STUDY On April 5, the Burbank -Glendale -Pasadena Airport Au- thority issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) seeking a consultant to prepare a new Part 150 Airport Noise Compati- bility Study for Bob Hope Airport. Interested firms can download the complete RFQ from the airport's website at: bobhopeairportcom. Qualifications Statements are due no later than May 21. The consultant selected will prepare a new Noise Expo- sure Map (NEM) for the year 2016. If appropriate, following the Federal Aviation Administration's approval of the new NEM, the consultant will update the Authority's current Noise Compatibility Plan pursuant to Part 150. The Authority completed a Part 150 Noise Compatibility Study in 1989 and it was approved by the FAA on 7uly 27, 1989. The Authority updated that study in 1998, and the FAA approved the updated study on November 27, 2000. This up- dated study used an NEM with a forecast for the year 2003. In 2000, the Authority initiated a Part 161 Study, with the objective of obtaining approval from the FAA to implement a mandatory nighttime curfew at the Airport for all aircraft. In 2009, the Authority completed its Part 161 Study and submit- ted a Part 161 Application to the FAA. That Part 161 Applica- tion included the development of forecast noise contours for the years 2008 and 2015 based on the best available data at that time. The FAA subsequently rejected that Application on October 30, 2009. Because the FAA rejected the Part 161 Study, and because of the FAA requirement for periodic update and approval of Noise Exposure Maps, it is now timely to pursue the develop- ment and FAA approval of an updated NEM. Based on the results from this RFQ, Staff will short list three to five potential consultants for further consideration. The qualification statements submitted during the RFQ process will assist Staff in developing a Request for Proposal that will be issued to the short-listed firms after the results of the RFQ are shared with the Legal, Government and Environ- mental Affairs Conuilittee. The RFP will identify in precise detail all of the requirements that the Authority will require of the selected consultant. After a consultant selection is made, not -to -exceed lump sum prices will be negotiated for each of the two major components of the update. It is anticipated that the completion of the selection process for a consultant for this study will be completed in FY2010/11. Staff will include the new Part 150 Study in the proposed FY 2010/11 capital program budget for Authority consideration. The Part 150 Study NEM has been pro- grammed for entitlement AIP finding by the FAA in the FY 2010 Airport Capital Improvement Program at $483,540 and may be funded as part of a Part B AIP grant funding if authorized by Congress. PFC Application No. 7 includes au- thorization for funding of the Part 150 Study of the 20% Airport Noise Report M 2010 sponsor match of $116,460. The total ofAIP funding and PFC match is $600,000. In the event that the cost of the Part 150 study exceeds $600,000, Staff will seek additional AIP funding and/or additional PFC funding. SW Florida htt'I, front p. 46 County residents to address their concerns about aircraft noise." On Sept. 30, 2008, FAA put in place RNAV (area naviga- tion) approach procedures into SW Florida International to better handle increasing air traffic and to prepare for a planned new 9,100 foot runway that is expected to open in 2015. The arrival procedures were part of a broader FAA air- space redesign called FLOWCAR (Florida West Coast Air- space Redesign) that enabled air traffic controllers to more efficiently handle the increasing number of flights into and out of southern Florida, particularly airports on the southwest Florida coast. Prior to the airspace change, about 80 percent of South- west Florida International's arriving flights came in from the northwest over the Gulf of Mexico. Under the airspace change, the FAA revised that approach to enable pilots to make it using satellite technology. A second arrival flight path to bring planes in from the northeast also existed prior to the airspace change but was used only at the discretion of air traffic controllers. Under the airspace change, this SHFTY 1 Standard Terminal Arrival procedure, was formalized as an RNAV procedure. This flight path now carries about half of the arriving flights (40- 60 arrivals per day) and has sparked noise complaints in the communities of Estero and Bonita Springs, south of the air- port, where 40,000 to 50,000 people live. Upset that they were not able to talk directly to FAA about the airspace changes and that the agency had held no public hearing before instituting them, the communities quickly organized to oppose the changes. FAA has been working with community leaders to address their concerns for over a year. Steps FAA Will Take Bergen said some of the steps that FAA has taken to re- duce noise impact from the air traffic change are: • Increasing the altitude of aircraft on the westbound ar- rival route from 3,000 feet to 4,000 feet over all Estero com- munities; As the aircraft travel west over Estero they will continue further over the Gulf so that they turn north over water west of Ft. Myers Beach rather than flying over Estero Bay or other populated areas; • Arriving aircraft must fly the published arrival route and may not turn "early" over populated areas to the airport un- less traffic and/or weather conditions are present that require deviation from the published procedure. Early turns must be approved by tower supervisors and must be documented in the tower's log; • Rerouting some traffic arriving from the northeast so that the aircraft can land to the southwest when the wind is not strong enough out of the east to require the planes to fly over Estero and land to the northeast. These flights will not overfly the Estero area; • Rerouting some traffic arriving from the northeast north of the airport where it continues down the coast and lands to the northeast as flights from the Midwest continue to land, thus avoiding the Estero area. This is and will be done when traffic permits; • The FAA has agreed to provide traffic analysis informa- tion on all arriving aircraft on a regular basis so that the South Lee County Airplane Noise Committee can evaluate how the changes are working. The Committee was formed in early 2009 and is comprised of former commercial airline pi- lots and aviation professionals who live in the area; • The Committee has been encouraged by the FAA to rec- ommend some Estero representatives to participate in the Noise Compatibility Study (Part 150 study) required prior to the construction of the planned second runway at Southwest Florida Regional. Estero has been assured by the Airport that its committee members will be fully involved; • The FAA has communicated to the Airport Authority the Committee's request that they install an aircraft flight tracker program that citizens throughout the region can use to iden- tify incoming aircraft that cause noise or other problems; • The FAA has agreed to continue its dialogue with the Committee in order to explore other changes that will further reduce the impact of these approaching aircraft on the Estero community. The steps the agency will take to reduce noise impact were detailed in an April 16 letter from the South Lee County Airplane Noise Committee to the Estero community council. ANR has not seen the letter but a local television channel, WZVN-HD, reported that it said, "While the committee is not fully satisfied with the improvements, it is encouraged by the FAA's actions taken to reduce the impact." Chicago O'Hare Int'l On March 31, the City Council of Park Ridge, IL, voted 4-3 to provide $165,000 in city funds to Park Ridge's O'Hare Airport Commission to limit the noise impact of the expan- sion of nearby O'Hare International Airport. The city's Airport Commission, composed of eight citi- zens, had advocated hiring a lobbying or public relations firm to "advocate for the city of Park Ridge in Chicago or Wash- ington against future expansion [of O'Hare] and advocate for noise abatement." The bulk of the Airport Commission's funding ($105,000) will be used for "political awareness" or lobby - Airport Noise Report 16, 2010 49 ANR EDITORIAL ing. The rest will fluid environmental studies. Funding for the Commis- sion will be paid for partly through a $5 increase in city vehicle stickers.

The report was prepared by Mead & Hunt Inc. of Lansing, MI, and others under ACRP Project 03-03, which was funded at a level of $500,000. The project team "was asked to investigate and present the current breadth and depth of knowledge surrounding land uses around airports and to develop guidance to protect airports from incompatible land uses that impair current and future airport and aircraft oper- ations and safety and constrain airport development," Michael Salamone, TRB Staff Officer, explained in a Forward to the report. It states, "The purpose of this project is to make available, to airports and those responsible for planning decisions, a tool that can be referenced and used to address land use compatibility issues near airports.

Procedures meeting these three criteria should be subject to streamlined approval under revised National Environmen- tal Policy Act (NEPA) implementing regulations, and/or re- vised FAA policies and procedures, Lorraine Bolsinger, president and CEO of GE Aviation Systems, told the Sub- committee at an April. 21 hearing on long-term planning for NextGen. "These revised agency procedures and policies would make such beneficial changes [of RNP procedures] clearly subject to the FAA's categorical exclusion policy, and conclu- sively establish that such improvements do not fall within any procedural exceptions to a categorical exclusion." "Congress has the opportunity to take action now, to re- quire FAA to develop this expedited environmental review and approval process, as it conferences the FAA Reauthoriza- tion bill," Bolsinger said. Section 314 of the Senate FAA reauthorization bill calls for expedited environmental review of RNP procedures. "We support the concept but believe that further language is re- quired," Bolsinger told the Subcommittee. Section 314 says that navigation performance and area navigation procedures shall be presumed to be covered by a categorical exclusion from environmental review "unless the [FAA] Administrator determines that extraordinary circum- stances exist with respect to the procedures." It is the FAAAdministrator's ability to determine that ex- traordinary circumstances exist in conjunction with RNP pro- cedures that GE is seeking to have Congress remove because that determination triggers further environmental review. Extraordinary circumstances would include the impact of RNP procedures on noise levels of noise -sensitive areas, their effects on the quality of the -human environmental that are likely to be highly controversial on environmental grounds, their impact on properties protected tinder Section 4(f) of the DOT Act (parklands); and their adverse effect on cultural re- sources protected under the National Historical Protection Act, among other things. GE has a strong interest in FAA approval of RNP proce- dures. On Nov. 23, 2009, GE announced that it had acquired Naverus, Inc., a supplier of advanced Perfonnan.ce-based Navigation (PBN) services, including Required Navigation Performance procedure development. The acquisition was announced just two months alter Naverus received a Letter of Qualification from the FAA to design and validate RNP flight paths for public use in the United States. The FAA authorization allows Naverus to de- velop for public use many of the ennissions-reducing, fuel - saving PBN approach procedures that are at the core of FAA's NextGen airspace modernization effort in the U.S. "But, in the U.S., bureaucracy and red tape stand in the way of achieving environmental benefit" of RNP procedures, GE's chief told the Subcommittee. "In short, the manner in which FAA orders and administers environmental reviews is so cumbersome, so unclear, and so unwieldy, that it makes any significant navigational change impractical, even when that change positively impacts the environment. This is a problem of significant magnitude that threatens NextGen it- self," she asserted. In order to derive maximum environmental and opera- tional benefits at the top 100 U.S. airports, GE estimates that at least 1,200 new navigation procedures would need to be Airport Noise Report ADHI 30, 2010 designed and deployed. "If each of those new paths were re- quired to undergo the [current] environmental review process, even if you started the review process tomorrow, it could take a decade or more to complete. In sore instances, the cost of the review could outweigh the economic benefit. And, it's possible in some instances, the navigation procedure itself would be obsolete by the time the review was completed," Bolsinger said. GE has the ear of at least one member of the House Avia- tion Subcommittee. In his opening statement at the hearing, Ranking Republican Rep. John Mica (R -FL) said, "Many be- lieve that the slow pace of the environmental review of new air traffic control procedures threatens the entirety of the NextGen enterprise. It is impossible to acheive the goals of NextGen if FAA can only clear a limited number of high- quality procedures through the environmental review process each year. "Both the environmental benefits promised and the over- all success of the NextGen enterprise seem to depend on our ability to overcome this challenge. I think we can preserve the goals of NEPA while improving the FAA's ability to im- plement more environmentally friendly air traffic proce- dures." Chicago O'Hare Int'l FAA AGREES TO REEVALUATE SCHOOL INSULATION ELIGIBILITY The O'Hare Noise Compatibility Commission (ONCC) announced April 28 that the Federal Aviation Administration has agreed to re-evaluate eligibility of three schools to re- ceive federal funds for sound insulation to reduce aircraft noise disturbances within classrooms. ONCC previously approved Ell( Grove High School in Elk Grove Village, IL, Ridgewood High School in Norridge, 1L, and Carpenter Elementary School in Park Ridge, IL, as el- igible for sound insulation in 2004, but the schools were noti- fied by the FAA in 2009 that they did not qualify under current sound insulation criteria. At the invitation of ONCC, Catherine Lang, FAAActing Associate Administrator for Airports, toured the three schools with congressional, school, airport and ONCC officials on April 23. She indicated that funding will be reinstated if the schools meet an 8 -hour Equivalent Sound Level (Leq) test re- sult of 45 or higher. The 45 Leq is the minimum noise thresh- old the FAA established for school sound insulation eligibility. The Chicago Department of Aviation will coordinate re- testing this summer. Pending test results, the schools could begin work on sound insulation as soon as summer 2011. "We know O'Ilare benefits our region, but we also recog- nize the challenges we face living near one of the world's busiest airports. The foundation of this commission is to work. cooperatively with all our stakeholders — including the City 52 of Chicago, Aviation Commissioner Rosemarie Andolino and her staff, and the FAA— to solve aircraft noise problems," said Arlington Heights Mayor Arlene J. Mulder, chairperson for ONCC, an inter -governmental agency dedicated to air- craft noise reduction in the O'Hare International Airport re- gion. "Special thanks needs to go to U.S. Transportation Secre- tary Ray LaHood and FAA Administrator Randy Babbitt .for their willingness to see that these noise issues are addressed," Mulder said. "O'Hare airport is a critical transportation link for Chicago and the entire Midwest region of our country, and we should make sure that it can continue to bring business into our state without adversely affecting our schools," said Sen. Richard Durbin (D -IL). "I want to thank Transportation Secretary LaHood, FAA Administrator Babbitt, the O'Hare Noise Compatibility Com- mission, and Representatives Jan Schakowsky (D -IL) and Peter Roskam (R -1L) for coming together to address a com- mon goal of creating a better learning environment in our schools," Durbin said. O'Hare Int'l CHICAGO GETS $4.5 MILLION GRANT TO INSULATE SCHOOL The Department of Transportation has awarded a $4.5 million Airport Improvement Program grant to the City of Chicago for noise mitigation at Roosevelt Elementary School in Park, Ridge, IL, which is located roughly two miles from O'Hare hnternational Airport. The funding will be used to replace existing windows with acoustic window units, to revise mechanical and electri- cal systems, and to install acoustic ceilings, vestibules, and doorways, Sen. Dick Durbin (D -IL) explained in announcing the grant on April 26. "This will create a better learning environment for the school's 450 students by alleviating existing verbal and audio communications problems between teachers and students caused by aircraft noise, explained Durbin.

Chicago The Broward County Aviation Department (BCAD) said did not rec- ommend implementation of a Voluntary Purchase Assurance Program as a Mary L. Vigilante component of the Proposed Draft Noise Mitigation Plan, "due to the corn - President, Synergy Consultants plexity and cost, including the cost to Dania Beach, as a result of remov- Seattle ing the properties from the City of Dania Beach's tax rolls during the period of County ownership." The County plans to fully find the noise mitigation programs de- scribed in the Draft Noise Mitigation Plan. It has set aside $35 million in a Noise Mitigation Bank with funds raised through Passenger Facility Charges. It is anticipated that the FAA would provide up to 80 percent of the estimated costs through Airport Improvement Program (AIP) fluids and the County would provide 20 percent matching fiords. The consultant team that prepared the draft noise mitigation program conducted a survey of 187 airports nationwide and identified 32 active and 22 completed noise mitigation programs. Of those airports, only two offered sales assistance programs, and only one offered a purchase assur- ance program, the County reported. BCAD's Proposed Draft Mitigation Plan would exceed the standards set by the majority of other airports in the United States by offering sales assistance as well as sound insulation, the County said.
