AIRPORT RELATIONS COMMISSION MINUTES
June 6, 2010
The regular meeting of the Mendota Heights Airport Relations Commission was held on
Wednesday, June 6, 2010, at 7:00 p.m., at City Hall, 1101 Victoria Curve, Mendota
Heights, Minnesota.
The following Commissioners were present: Liz Petschel, Chair; Robin Ehrlich, Vice
Chair, Sally Lorberbaum, Lyle Odland, Bill Duma and Joe Hennessy.
Also present were: Jill Smith(resident), Assistant to the City Administrator Jake
Sedlacek, Gretchen Keenan (Sunfish Lake).
Not Present: David Sloan (excused)
Approval of Minutes
Commissioners noted two changes — Commissioner Ehrlich's name was spelled wrong on
the first page, the Planning Commission Meeting should be 5-25-2010. A motion was
made by Commissioner Sloan, seconded by Commissioner Dunn, to approve the minutes
of the May 12, 2010, ARC meeting as corrected. Commissioner moved approval of the
minutes as corrected, Commissioner Dunn seconded the motion, which was approved
unanimously.
Unfinished and New Business
A. Randy Jones Award of Excellence Application
The commission reviewed the draft application, nominating the MAC Noise Oversight
Committee for the Randy Jones Award for Excellence in Noise Mitigation. Several
changes were discussed, the commission supported making the changes as discussed, and
submitting the application.
Commissioner Lorberbaum made a motion to proceed with the nomination with the
suggested changes. Commissioner Dunn seconded the motion, which passed
unanimously.
r • •
Jake Sedlacek described the Library of Congress web page which can be used to track bill
status for federal legislation — the site is easy to navigate, laid out in a similar fashion to
the MN Legislature's own bill tracking web site. Jake recommended that commissioners
take a moment to check out http://thomas.loc. ov, when they have an opportunity.
Commission Meeting —June 9, 2010
Mendota Heights Airport Relations Commission
Chair Petschel discussed how NextGen technology is a sticking point for the legislation
as proposed — airlines are (generally) willing to pay for upgrades for aircraft, but no one is
stepping forward with funding for the ground technology. HR 915 includes FAA
reauthorization, which needs to be passed, but it may continue to be delayed as NextGen
issues are worked out.
C. MSP Long Term Comprehensive Plan
The Metropolitan Council Transportation Committee is set to discuss the MAC Long
Term Comprehensive plan on Monday, June 14. Chair Petschel, Jill Smith and Jake
Sediacek explained the process so far, and how we are participating in the process to get
three conditions added to the approval of the LTCP:
• Five -Year reviews of the document
• Recognizing the 60dnl as the regional standard for noise mitigation
• Establishing some set number of operations when further study for airfield
capacity needs to occur
The Commission also reviewed a letter sent to Met Council member Richard Aguilar,
who represents Mendota Heights at the Metropolitan Council. The idea of finding the
FAA standards for comprehensive planning was also considered. The City could make a
Freedom of Information Act Request of FAA, so that we could compare what the plan is
supposed to include, and how it stacks up. Commissioner Hemlessy mentioned that staff
should utilize the FAA website to look for the related advisory circular as a good starting
point.
D. Noise Oversight Committee
Chair Petschel served as our representative at the May NOC meeting. Commissioner
Ehrlich also attended the meeting. Chair Petshel noted that the City of Inver Grove
Heights (IGH) had a staff person attend the meeting, as the City is attempting to distance
itself from a pair of activist residents. Airport noise will be a challenge for IGH, as they
seek to develop considerable land under the current turning point for many planes
departing south off the parallel runways.
The NOC agenda included a new section: an "operations report" where MAC noise staff
will seek out trends at the airport, specifically night time operations and corridor
excursions.
The Commissioners took a little time to explain to Jill Smith how the ARC tracks airport
operations utilizing monthly reports from MAC.
Chair Petschel was pleased to announce that MAC is moving ahead with a new flight -
tracking program, which is scheduled to go live on August 31. The new "multilateration"
software will provide residents flight tracks and information approximately 10 minutes
after a plan passes overhead. The ARC discussed potential for promoting this new
resource, as well as inviting Chad Leqve to present the information later this year.

Commission Meeting— June 9, 2010
Mendota Heights Airport Relations Commission
E. Updates for Introduction Book
The commission reviewed the night time departure spreadsheet, and provided staff
with feedback on a chart tracking excursions from the Eagan/Mendota Heights
corridor. The cormnission explained to Jill Smith, that we keep a close eye on
corridor compliance, and that 3% of flights outside of the corridor is viewed as
acceptable, in order to accommodate for wind and weather. The Commission made
some suggestions/requests for format, which staff will make for next month's report.

Other Commission Comments or Concerns
The Delta fleet is currently changing — we can expect to see a significant increase in the
number of MD 80's and 90's operating at MSP. This is an unfortunate turn for our
region, as these planes are noticeably louder than the Airbus planes that Northwest had
operated.

DATE:REAL-TIME FLIGHT TRACKER DEVELOPMENT UPDATE
May 12.201U
Background
|n1992, the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC)Nc�and Satellite Programs
Office installed one of the most sophisticated and comprehensive Airport Noise and
Operations—ns Monitoring Systems A\NOK8S\ of its kind in the United States. At an initial
costof-�' million,
KX
ANOS became the central element ofan evolving
~' approximately
noise and airspace ano|ysopnogronn
i that has been used extensively byMAC staff toaid
in the process of reporting and analyzing aircraft operations and related noise levels
around Minneapolis -St. Paul International Airport (MSP).
One of the key components of AN{)��G is the flight track data acquisition system.
Cunnntk/' the ASR -9 radar located at MSP prov id the aircraft position and aircraft-

developing environmental planning documentation /e.g. Environmental Assessments,
Pad 150, etc.), Airport Long -Term nnppehenskx» P|anning, identifying possible trends
or irregularities
that need - be addressed and maintaining information that community
residents, representatives and government officials have come to rely upon.
The last flight track data acquisition upgrade occurred in 2001 when the FAA upgraded
its rodarsvatem. which required the MAC to upgrade the method used to acquire radar
Otracks. --~. TheMAC iscompletely dependent onthe ASR-9radar and FAA Air Traffic
(ATC) C\ personnel for flight track and aircraft -specific information. Several
variables existthet are outside of the y�AC's control that limit the amount of flight track
data received.
Several restrictions and conditions are also placed onthe data's use via a
Letter o Agreement vv e
f t ith the FAA that limits the K4AC'a reporting and analysis
capabilities. Staff conducted o comprehensive analysis of the ANOK4S radar flight track
and aircraft -specific information acquired from the ASR -9 radar, and found that over an
82 -hour period, approximately 4.1% ofthe flight track data were not received due to data
unavailability from the FAA ATC.
Effective Dight track data collection within the MAC Noise Office is critical to the
continued success of the cost-effective noise reduction and outreach initiatives
performed in the Noise Office. In addition' provisions were outlined in the Consent
Decree (for the settlement of the noise lawsuit between the City of Minneapolis, ed a}.'
and the
vA(�> for maintaining a flight tracking and noise monitoring system and to
develop ^'nual '' noise contours and reports based on actual flight track data received
from that system.
( `
\_./
The Consent Decree states that "by March 1 of each year, MAC shall develop and make
available to the public a noise contour report using the F/V\o Integrated Noise Model to
reflect noise conditions from the prior calendar year, using actual MSP operations data
derived from the Airport Noise and Operations Monitoring System or u functionally
equivalent flight tracking and noise monitoring system ("Monitoring 8yotern'')."
As a result,dLwas determined that an upgrade investment in the flight track and noise
monitoring system otMSP was necessary. The system upgrade is needed to provide a
stable and expandable platform for airspace and noise analysis, as well as to provide a
flight track data acquisition solution that is more accurate than the current system, and to
eliminate data unavailability to the greatest extent possible.
The 2OO8MAC Capital
NoismandOperetonsK8onUohnQSvatan�aA\N(}K8G\techno|ogy - utMSP. The upgraded
system consists of throe main components: new analysis evaiarn software; upgraded
analysis system hardware; and a nnu|ti|atarat|on flight track data acquisition system.
Staff evaluated the available flight track data acquisition technologies, data integrity
requirements and other airports' experiences with these technologies and determined
that a nnuUU|o[eroton Dight track data acquisition architecture is the beat option for
addressing flight track data needs in the Noise Office well into the future at MGP. A
nlu|ti|ateration' flight track data acquisition system is essential to the continuation of
enhanced flight track and noise monitoring capabilities at MSP and to provide successful
noise and airspace analysis into the future. This new system will provide' with e high
degree of confidence, more accurate data, greater update nates, better coverage and
improved reliability to the noise and operations monitoring system;
Additiona|ly, multilateration technology is completely expandable and can be configured
to add radar flight track coverage to the outlying n*|imvor airports in the futunm, thus
improving flight tracking, operations reporting and analysis at those airports. This is
significant due to the tmot that communities around the reliever airports na|y heavily on
the limited flight track data and the reporting capabilities that aro presently provided by
the existing system otMSP.
The components of a noultikaharatk>n flight track data acquisition system include the
installation of remote sensors that will provide prmuse, real-time aircraft flight tracking
and positional information. The sensors scan the airspace for transponder and collision
avoidance signals (TCAS) given off by other aircraft and triangulates an aircraft's exact
position.
Throughout the second half of 2008 and early 2009 MAC Noise Office staff was
engaged in extensive contract negotiations with the ERA Corporation for the installation
of a nnulti/ateation flight backing ayshann at MGP. [}Ve to the acquisition of ERA
Corporation bySRA Corporation the contract negotiation and finalization process was

\ /
leases with various government and private communication tower owners to locate
nnu|U|otonation sensors on eight communication towers in the metropolitan area.
On June 1 2009 the nnu|ti|aterotinn sensor installation process began and by June 5.
2000 the installations were complete on all eight communication towers. The attached
map provides the tower locations of the eight sensors around the metro area.
The multilateration system installation is,,complete and the system is performing well.
The data stream is presently being integrated into the new MAC Noise and Operations
Monitoring System (MACNOMS). By June 30, 2010 the integration will be complete,
providing flight track data with a one -day delay on the macnoise.corn website.
Additionally, development and integration of Harris, Miller, Miller and Hanson (H��K4H)

central part
`ofthe K8ACNOK8S and MAC staff has completed the development of the
MACNOMS noise and flight track data analysis and mapping applications.
Real -Time Flight Tracker,, Development
As part of the system development process MAC staff is working with HMMH on the
development of a,"real-time flight tracking application for the macnoise.com website. The
real-time flight tracker will utilize the MACNOMS multilateration data feed to provide the
ability to view an animated aircraft operations map with only a 10 -minute delay in the
flight track data feed. It is anticipated that this application will be available on the
macnoise.com website by August 31, 2010.

Bob Hope Air port
AIRLINES REFUSE TO ENTER COMMITMENT
TO MAKE VOLUNTARY CURFEW BINDING
The airlines serving Bob Hope Airport have decided not to enter into a contrac-
tual agreement with the Burbank -Glendale -Pasadena Airport Authority that would
make the 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. airport curfew in effect for the past 30 years binding on
the carriers.
The Authority sought to interest the airlines in a contractual commitment to per-
manently abide by the voluntary curfew on scheduled flights as an alternative to the
Federal Aviation Administration's Part 161 process on notice and approval of air-
port noise and access restrictions, which lasted eight years and cost over $7 million.
In November 2009, the FAA rejected the Airport Authority's Part 161 applica-
tion to impose the mandatory curfew on the grounds that is was unreasonable, un-
safe, and a burden on commerce and the national aviation system (21 ANR 143).
The curfew would have been the first restriction on Stage 3 aircraft since passage
of the Airport Noise and Capacity Act of 1990 (ANCA).
"Our commitment to abide by this voluntary curfew remains solid," Steve
Hubbell, chair of the Airport -Airline Airport Affairs Committee, told the Airport
(Conthiried on p. 71)
FAA
HELICOPTER NPRM SEEN AS OFFERING
ALTERNATIVE PATH TO NOISE RESTRICTIONS
The Federal Aviation Administration's recent proposal to impose a mandatory
noise abatement helicopter route off Long Island, NY, may provide a regulatory
pathway for airports and communities to follow in seeking their own mandatory
noise abatement procedures, a former FAA attorney now representing airports told
ANR.
On May 26, FAA issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRIM) that would
require civil helicopters operating under visual flight rules along a section of the
northern shoreline of Long Island to follow the published New York North Shore
Route, which was adopted on a voluntary basis in May 2008 as a way to address
thousands of noise complaints.
The only reason that FAA offered in its NPRM for imposed the mandatory
flight path for helicopters is that New York elected officials had advised the agency
that noise complaints continued to be filed after the voluntary noise route was insti-
tuted and that local FAA Flight Standards Division also continued to receive noise
complaints.

Authority in a June 4 letter. "We understand and have demon-
strated the balance needed to work with the surrounding com-
munity to address noise concerns while also meeting the
demands of the residents and businesses that use the Airport
to provide safe, secure, convenient, reliable and economical
airline service."
The airline committee represents the signatory carriers
serving Bob Hope Airport (Alaska Airlines, American Air-
lines, JetBlue Airways, Skywest Airlines, Southwest Airlines,
and US Airways).
In their letter to the Airport Authority, the airlines cited.
three reasons for not making a written commitment to the
voluntary curfew:
• The Airport Authority's Part 161 application, seeking a
mandatory curfew, was rejected by the FAA;
• "Any contractual curfew locally agreed to would set a
precedent on a national basis that could potentially become a
mechanism for airports across the country to circumvent the
intent of the federal law"; and
• "Even if allowed by the FAA, any contractual curfew
agreed to locally by the Airport Signatory carriers would not
be binding upon fixture new entrant carriers at the airport be-
cause it would constitute a mandatory restriction. Such
mandatory restrictions are required to be approved through a
Part 161 FAA review process. It would also potentially create
a competitive scheduling advantage for the new entrant."
"The airline industry has consistently opposed the manda-
tory imposition by local airport sponsors of access restric-
tions that impact the national aviation system," Southwest's
Hubbell told the Airport Authority. He noted that Congress
passed the Airport Noise and Capacity Act of 1990 in order to
stop the proliferation of local access restrictions by individual
airport operators. The Act led to the Part 161 process that pro-
vided a mechanism for airport sponsors to seek approval from
the FAA to implement new access restrictions.
Hubbell said that FAA rejected the Burbank -Glendale -
Pasadena Airport Authority's application to impose a manda-
tory curfew at Bob Hope Airport on a variety of grounds and
that the Airport Authority "now seeks an alternative to the
Part 161 process to achieve a curfew."
Airport Authority Statement
In response to the airlines' letter, the Burbank -Glendale -
Pasadena Airport Authority issued a statement on June 7
pledging to continue efforts to address aircraft noise -related
issues at Bob Hope Airport.
Airport Authority President Frank Quintero said the Au-
thority remains conunitted to seeking implementation of
meaningful aviation -related noise relief on a Valley -wide
basis.
"The Authority is appreciative of the commitment the air-
lines have made in adhering to the voluntary curfew, and of
their effort to explore the potential to execute a contractual
curfew. The Authority also acknowledges the leadership the
City of Burbank is taking in seeking a legislative solution to
the issue of nighttime noise," he said in a statement made at
the close of an Authority meeting.
Following FAA's rejection of the Airport Authority's Part
161 application on the mandatory curfew, Rep. Brad Sherman
(D -CA) announced that he planned to introduce federal legis-
lation to allow Bob Hope Airport and nearby Van Nuys Air-
port to impose mandatory curfews from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m.,
thus bypassing the need for FAA approval of a Part 161 study.
Sherman has not yet introduced the promised legislation,
althougli the congressional process of approving the new
FAA reauthorization bill is still underway and could provide a.
vehicle for it.
Quintero also said the Authority will continue its Resi-
dential Acoustical Treatment Program for residences and
schools within the noise impact area; will maintain its ongo-
ing dialogue with the City of Burbank and the community to
address noise -related issues; and will shortly begin a Part 150
Study in an effort to identify additional noise abatement or
mitigation opportunities that may exist.
Research
The National Aviation and Space Administration (NASA)
announced June 2 that it is soliciting proposals for studies de-
signed to identify advanced vehicle concepts and enabling
technologies for commercial airliners to fly more economi-
cally, quieter, and cleaner by 2025.
This research will support the Integrated Systems Re-
search Program in NASA's Aeronautics Research Mission Di-
rectorate in Washington. The solicitation is the first of several
expected wider the directorate's "Research Opportunities in
Aeronautics" announcement for 2010, released the same day.
The total potential value of the research contracts is $36.6
million, and proposals are due by July 15.
NASA will select up to four teams for 12 -month studies
beginning in fiscal year 2011. The studies will define pre-
ferred concepts for advanced vehicles that can operate within
the Next Generation Air Transportation System, or NextGen.
The system is a U.S. government air traffic modernization ef-
fort that includes NASA.
The concepts must incorporate technologies enabling
large, twin -aisle passenger aircraft to achieve ambitious envi-
ronmental goals. Goals include 50 percent less fuel consump-
tion and nitrogen oxide emissions compared with today's
airliners and an approximately 80 percent reduction in the
nuisance noise footprint around airports.
After nine Months work on preferred systems' concepts,
each team will be eligible to submit proposals for a subscale
flight demonstrator design. NASA will select one or two con-
cepts for 17 months of preliminary design work and risk re-
duction testing for completion by mid -2013.
This research is supported by the Environmentally Re -
Airport Noise Report
June 11, 2010
sponsible Aviation Project within the Integrated Systems Re-
search Program. It also will benefit an emerging new project
related to the use of remotely -piloted aircraft in the national
air space.
Because the subscale flight demonstrator will be capable
of operating in autonomous and remotely -piloted modes, it
will test environmental technology, other suites and tech-
niques. Test areas may include separation assurance and colli-
sion avoidance; command, control and communications;
remote pilot and vehicle interfaces; environmental hazards
detection and avoidance that could enable routine operation
of future unpiloted air vehicles. NASA anticipates conducting
test flights with the demonstrator in 2015.
Specific evaluation criteria, deadlines and points of con-
tact for this research topic and other project areas are avail-
able in the announcement at: http:Hnspires.nasaprs.coni.

NOISE ABATEMENT DESCENT IS
NOT MORE STRESSFUL ON PILOTS
Continuous descent approaches are being used increas-
ingly to reduce noise impact on communities near airports.
They result in significant reductions in noise impact but are
they more stressful on pilots?
According to the findings of a German study, they are not.
A flight simulator study of 40 pilots found that a Segmented
Continuous Descent Approach (SCDA) is not more demand-
ing and does not lead to a greater workload for the pilots than
the standard Low Drag Low Power (LDLP) approach.
Physiological measures of blood pressure, heart rate, and
blink frequency were not found to increase during the SCDA
compared to the LDLP. In fact, the SCDA was associated
with reduced blood pressure and heart rate values compared
to the LDLP procedure.
"Sophisticated landing procedures must not compromise
either technical flight safety or the capability of the human
operator. Therefore, the assessment of pilots' workload during
the approach is an important aspect for maintaining aviation
safety," researchers from the DLR -German Aerospace Center,
Institute of Aerospace Medicine and the Technical University
of Berlin Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics explained
in their paper, -'Pilot Workload During Approaches: Compari-
son of Simulated Standard and Noise -Abatement Profiles."
The paper was reported in the journal Aviation, Space,
and E17141•012177erntal Medicine, Vol. 80, No. 4, April 2009. Tile
lead author of the paper is Eva -Maria Elmenhorst, M.D.
Under continuous descent approaches, aircraft are kept far
from the ground as long as possible, which means that steeper
glide paths are used. The SCDA was developed by the insti-
tute of Flight Systems of the German Aerospace Center
(DLR). It includes a steep approach gradient of 5.5 degrees
and is, therefore, predicted to reduce noise on the ground.
A real flight test of the SCDA was conducted and showed
72
that a single -spot noise recording directly below the glide
path showed a noise abatement potential of up to 5 dB(A)
compared to the standard approach procedure. The area on
the ground in which more than 50 dB(A) maximum noise
levels were recorded was reduced by about 40 percent by the
SODA compared to the standard LDLP approach.
The researchers noted that the flight simulation of the
SCDA was conducted under ideal conditions and that further
studies in the flight simulator and during real flight maneu-
vers are needed to examine the influences of additional chal-
lenges such as wind and weather conditions on noise
abatement procedures.
Night Noise Impairs Morning Performance
Nighttime noise from nearby road traffic, passing trains,
and overhead planes disturbs sleep and impairs morning per-
formance, according to a the findings of another study by El-
menhorst, who is a postdoctoral research fellow at the
German Aerospace Center institute of Aerospace Medicine in
Cologne, Germany.
The study was presented June 8 in San Antonio at SLEEP
2010, the 24th annual meeting of the Associated Professional
Sleep Societies LLC.
Results indicate that mean reaction time on a morning
psychomotor vigilance task slowed significantly by 3.6 mil-
liseconds (ms) after exposure to recorded traffic noise during
sleep, and the slowing of reaction times was directly and sig-
nificantly related to increases in both the frequency and
somnd-pressure level of the nightly noise events, Elmenhorst
reported.
The sound of passing trains caused the highest awaken-
ing and arousal probabilities followed by automobile traffic
and airplane noise. However, this ranking was not reflected in
the measures of morning neurobehavioral performance, as
each mode of noise caused a similar level of innpairnnent. Fur-
thermore, exposure to more than one of the three modes of
traffic noise did not lead to stronger performance impair-
ments than exposure to only one noise source.
"The study demonstrated that traffic noise may disturb
sleep and consequently impede recuperation, as was shown
by deterioration of neurobehavioral performance," said El-
menhorst. "The study therefore stresses the importance of
sleep hygiene in terns of a quiet environment for healthy,
undisturbed sleep."
Elmenhorst noted that nighttime traffic noise may have
even stronger effects on the performance of people who are
more susceptible to sleep disturbances. Risk groups include
children, shift workers, the elderly and people with chronic
medical conditions.
The study involved 72 people with an average age of 40
years. Their sleep was monitored by polysomnography for 11
consecutive nights. Recorded traffic noise from airplanes, au-
tomobiles and trains was played in the laboratory while they
slept. Each mode of traffic noise consisted of eight different
noise events played back at five sound pressure levels.
Airport Noise Report
June 11, 2010
FAA, froin p. 70
"What is interesting is that FAA has consistently rejected
any airport request for a mandatory noise abatement proce-
dure, approving under Part 150 only voluntary procedures,"
the former FAA attorney told ANR. He did not want to be
identified because he represents airports.
"This proposed rule, if adopted, may be inviting to both
airports and community groups who desire mandatory noise
abatement procedures. Heretofore they have been stymied
somewhat because of the Part 161 requirements. This offers
them an alternative path: ask the FAA itself to impose
the noise abatement procedure, citing complaints that the
voluntary route has not been observed."
"The sole reason cited for this proposal is to
address noise complaints. I am not aware of the FAA dictat-
ing the use of navigable airspace based solely on noise," he
told ANR.
He also questioned whether FAA has the statutory author-
ity to impose a mandatory helicopter noise abatement route.
The NPRM relies on two statutory authorities: Section.
40103(b)(2)(B), which gives the FAA authority to issue air
traffic riles on the flight of aircraft for protecting individuals
and property on the ground, and Section 4471.5(a), which
gives the FAA authority to issue rules to control and abate
aircraft noise, lie explained.
"The proposed mandatory routing does not appear to
have any safety basis but is intended solely to reduce noise
impacts, so I fail to see how section 40103 applies. As for
section 44715(a), this section was enacted in 1968 as section
611 of the Federal Aviation Act. As Chief Justice Rehnquist
explained at length in his dissent in City of Burbank v Lock-
heed Air Terminal, the 1968 amendment was intended to en-
able the FAA to deal with the aircraft noise problem "through
study and regulation of the `source' of the problem — the me-
chanical and structural aspects of jet and turbine aircraft de-
sign."
"I do not know of any situation where FAA has in the
past issued a rule or decision relying on this subsection to
control noise by regulating aircraft routes or procedures — in
other words, not at the source."
NPRM is Effort to Avoid Study
Another lawyer familiar with airport issues, who also de-
clined to be identified because of airport clients, told ANR
that the NRPM appears to be an effort by FAA to get Con-
gress to strike language in Section 818 of the House version
of the FAA Reauthorization bill that would mandate the FAA
to conduct a study of helicopter operations over Long Island
and Staten Island, NY.
That provision of the House bill would require the FAA,
within six months, to submit to Congress a report on the re-
sults of the study, which would have to examine:
• The effects of helicopter operations on residential areas
(including safety issues, noise levels and ways to abate noise,
and other issues relating to helicopter operations on residen-
tial areas);
73
• The feasibility of diverting helicopters from residential
areas;
The feasibility of creating specific air lanes for helicop-
ter operations; and
• The feasibility of establishing altitude limits for helicop-
ter operations.
The FAA noted in its NPRM that New York Sen. Charles
Schumer (D) and former Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D)
wanted the mandatory helicopter route to be imposed. The
agency is letting the public know that it was held hostage by
Schumer and Clinton. The last thing FAA wants is to have
Congress tell thein what to do. Rather than that, it issued the
NPRM, the attorney told ANR.
But he also stressed that the NPRM was unusual because
it includes no noise analysis. Mandatory noise abatement air-
craft routes come out of Part 150 studies or environmental
impact statements, he said, "but here there is no analysis."
He called the FAA's NPRM "a sloppy and very basic
way" to address the helicopter noise problem because it does
not direct how helicopters fly over hand. The over -water heli-
copter noise route is of some advantage but the real question
is what is their route over land to their landing areas, he said.
The attorney called it "very dangerous" that FAA has
done no environmental review of the mandatory helicopter
route proposed in. its NPRM. He believes this omission oc-
curred for two reasons: (1) to get the NPRM out very quickly
and (2) because there has been an ongoing controversy be-
tween the FAA and the National Park Service over how to
measure helicopter noise and the proper metric to use.
"I'm not aware of any other noise rule issued without an
environmental assessment," he said. FAA said in the NPRM
that the mandatory helicopter noise abatement route is not ex-
pected to have a significant effect on the human environment.
If that is so, he asked, then why is FAA imposing it?
NPRM Not Seen as Harbinger
Steven Pflarum of the Chicago law firm Neal, Gerber &
Eisenberg, told ANR that "arty predictions about whether
mandatory compliance with the North Shore (Long Island)
Helicopter route will be a trend-setter should be taken with
several grains of salt."
There are several reasons to doubt whether the pending
NPRM is a harbinger of more such regulations to come, he
said.
"First and foremost, issues involving helicopters are fim-
damentally different — in terns of the nature of the problems
they pose, the relatively small number of passengers they
concern, and the comparative lack of prominence within the
commercial aviation industry of the operators affected — than
issues involving commercial operations by fixed -wing air-
craft. These factors combine to simultaneously provide more
reason for the FAA to regulate an intractable helicopter noise
problem, fewer viable alternatives for effectively addressing
that problem, and less industry pressure on the FAA to refrain
from intervening decisively.
"Second, the Long Island issue is not fimdamentally an

TOWN ASIS FAA TO FORM STAKHOLlDER
GROUP TO HELP GUIDE HELICOPTER STUDY
The Town of East Hampton, NY, has asked the Federal Aviation Administration
to convene a formal stakeholder group to participate in a study of alternative heli-
copter routes over eastern Long Island.
Rep. Tim Bishop (D -NY) inserted language into the pending House version of
the FAA Reauthorization bill that would require the FAA to conduct a study of heli-
copter routes and altitudes over eastern Long Island and to recommend ways to
abate the impact of helicopter operations over residential areas.
The Town of East Hampton fears that FAA's Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
(NPRIvI) to impose a mandatory helicopter route off the north shore of Long Island
will obviate the need for the study included in the House bill.
The Town urged FAA to make clear that its NPRM is not intended to do that.
"The final rile should explicitly include an FAA commitment to fund, and to con-
vene the relevant stakeholders to oversee such a study," East Hampton Town Su-
pervisor William J. Wilkinson, told the FAA in comments on its NPRM.
He said the stakeholder group should consist of municipalities and airport pro -

CA ASSEMBLY PASSES RESOLUTION ASKING
FEDS TO COLLABORATE ON NOISE, EMISSIONS
On June 21, the California Assembly passed a resolution asking federal agen-
cies and members of the California congressional delegation to work collabora-
tively to address aircraft noise levels and emissions at Santa Monica Airport.
Assembly Joint Resolution (AJR) 41, authored by California Assemblyman Ted
Lieu (D) was sent to the California Senate for consideration.
The Resolution asks the Federal Aviation Administration, the federal Environ-
mental Protection Agency, the federal. Department of Transportation, and the mem-
bers of the state congressional delegation "to work collaboratively to review noise
levels, the safety of flight operations at Santa Monica Airport, and to carefully ex-
amine the air pollution impact on the surrounding communities."
Lieu noted in his Resolution that "more large, high -polluting jet aircraft use
Santa Monica Airport than ever before and, in recent years, the number of jet air-
craft operations at Santa Monica Airport has increased exponentially, from an an-
nual total of 1,000 in 1984 to tens of thousands today."

prietors in eastern Long Island and operator groups who are
most potentially affected by proposed helicopter routes.
"Most important, each of the stakeholders should have a
seat at the table to ensure the study's legitimacy and to ensure
that it genuinely and transparently addresses the problem of
helicopter overflight noise in eastern Long Island in a com-
prehensive manner," Wilkinson told the FAA.
Such a study committee has precedent in FAA -funded
Part 150 Airport Noise Compatibility programs, he asserted.
"Since most noise -related flight patterns in the country are
the result of Part 150 -initiated efforts, these types of stake-
holder -driven studies are standard practice. We urge the FAA
to adapt the principles underlying the Part 150 process to this
effort."
Wilkinson also said the study should include not only the
North off -shore route proposed in its NPRM but also a route
along the South Shore of Long Island and transition routes
between those off -shore routes and destinations inland in
eastern Long Island.
The FAA's NPRM would require civil helicopters operat-
ing under visual flight riles along a section of the northern
shoreline of Long Island to follow the published New York
North Shore Route, which was adopted as a voluntary route.
Like several aviation trade groups, the Town of East
Hampton asserted that FAA was wrong in determining that
the NPRM is categorically excluded from environmental re-
view.
The Town urged FAA to conduct an environmental review
of the proposed mandatory helicopter route, to consider a
South Shore route as an alternative or complement to the
North Shore Route, to consider alternative minimum altitudes
as a means of reducing helicopter noise, and to mandate way -
points and/or routes for helicopters emoute and over land at
the east end of Long Island.
Over 800 comments, practically all from individual citi-
zens, have been submitted to the docket on the NPRIvI.
ACRD
DIGEST SUMMARIZES CASES
CHALLENGING DEVELOPMENT
A new 60 -page legal research digest entitled "Case Stud-
ies on Community Challenges to Airport Development," was
issued by the Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP)
in June.
ACRP Legal Digest 9 includes a comprehensive review
of judicial decisions on community challenges to airport de-
velopment projects and explains the bases of the challenges,
the defense to the challenges, and the outcome of the cases.
"This collection is intended to convey the strategies the
Federal Aviation Administration and airport operators rely
upon to address community challenges to airport develop -
meat projects and to identify which strategies have suc-
ceeded, which have failed, and the reasons for both, the di-
gest explains.
In addition to the case studies, the digest also includes a
summary of responses from airport proprietors to a survey re-
garding litigation strategies. "It appears that a major compo-
nent of such strategies is directed toward litigation
avoidance," the digest notes.
The digest should be useful to airport attorneys, environ-
mental specialists, managers, planners, administrators, real
estate specialists, right-of-way specialists, zoning experts,
and project development specialists.
The digest addresses both federal and state cases brought
by communities and non-profit groups opposed to airport ex-
pansion projects or to development or operations at airports.
The digest does not address challenges to the exercise of emi-
nent domain that have been filed by individual property own-
ers against airport proprietors seeking to expand their
boundaries through such takings.
The litigation summarized in the digest is organized by
environmental. law challenges, constitutional law challenges,
state law issues, jurisdictional issues, challenges to Passenger
Facility Charges, and other statutory challenges.
"The volume of case law regarding community chat -
lenges to airport development and operations clearly indicates
that litigation is always a threat from municipalities and com-
munity groups seeking to modify or prevent airport expan-
sion and development. Nevertheless, airport proprietors have
managed to avoid such litigation through prior planning and
buffering, positive community relations and local government
support; and compliance with environmental regulation.
Strategically, airport proprietors are well advised to pursue a
proactive relationship with parties of interest in the commu-
nity as part of their airport development planning," the digest
concludes.
Legal Research Digest 9 was prepared under ACRP Proj-
ect 11-01, "Legal Aspects of Airport Programs." The digest is

Santa Monica Airport and apply that science into remediation
efforts;
• To establish and implement a reasonable minimum dis-
tance between aircraft operations at Santa Monica Airport
and the neighboring communities; and
• To develop and offer federally funded relocation assis-
tance to affected homeowners who desire it.
The Resolution also "strongly urges the Federal Avia-
tion Administration to honor the decision of the City of Santa
Monica. to increase safety precautions at Santa Monica Air-
port, and restrict the use of Category C and D aircraft at Santa
Monica Airport."
The City of Santa Monica has challenged FAA's conclu-
Airport Noise Report
Julv 2, 2010
sion that its ordinance banning Category C and D aircraft is
unreasonable and discriminatory. The City imposed the ordi-
nance, which is unprecedented, out of concern that faster jets
would. overshoot the ends of runways and crash into homes,
which are as close as 300 feet from the airport.
FA.A. Departure Path Change
Assemblyman Lieu also noted in his Resolution that
changes in FAA flight rules requiring jet aircraft to receive
permission from air traffic controllers at Los Angeles Intema-
tional Airport before taking oft have created significant de-
parture delays at Santa Monica Airport and forced jet aircraft
to idle with their engines running for longer times while
awaiting permission from LAX to take off.
In an effort to reduce that delay, the FAA conducted a
180 -day test of a change in the departure flight patter at
Santa Monica designed to separate small propeller -powered
aircraft from larger jets departing LAX.
That flight pattern test ended on June 8 and FAA is now
in the process of determining whether it was successful. Pre-
liminary findings indicated that it reduced delays and emis-
sions levels but some Santa Monica Airport neighbors
complained that it shifted noise over their heads.
The City of Santa Monica is aggressively pushing the
FAA to conduce a full environmental impact study of any
permanent change to a departure flight path for small pro-
peller -powered aircraft (22 ANR 66).
The City recently hired several consulting firms to help it
with its own analysis of FAA's flight pattern test. ASRC Re-
search and Technology Solutions (ARTS) will analyze the
FAA's departure flight pattern change and will advise the
City on possible alternative departure paths to remedy the
noise problem.
The City also hired the airport consulting from Landrum
and Brown Consulting to quantify and model the noise im-
pact from the aircraft that participated in the FAA flight test.
Also, Lochard Corp. has be retained to install its Web -
Trak near -real-time flight tracking system on the airport's
website. Complaints can be filed through the system.
Open SkiesAgreernent
On June 24 in Luxembourg, representatives of the United
States and the European Union (EU) and its 27 Member
States signed a "Second Stage" civil aviation agreement, pro-
viding for greater U.S.-EU cooperation on a. wide range of
aviation issues and giving U.S. carriers greater protection
from nighttime noise restrictions at European airports.
"The accord builds on the historic U.S.-EU `Open Skies'
agreement that was signed in April 2007. That pro -consumer,
pro -competitive agreement eliminated restrictions on air
services between the United States and EU member states, al-
lowing airlines from both sides to select routes and destina-
tions based on consumer demand for both passenger and
cargo services, without limitations on the nu nber of U.S. or
EU carriers that can fly or the number of flights they can op-
erate," the U.S. State Department explained.
It said that the "Second Stage" agreement affirms that the
terms of the 2007 agreement will remain in place indefinitely.
It also deepens U.S.-EU cooperation in aviation security,
safety, competition, and ease of travel.
"In addition, it provides greater protections for U.S. carri-
ers from arbitrary restrictions on night flights at European air-
ports and provides for further discussion of whether
legislation in the fields of noise regulation and foreign invest-
ment in airlines is appropriate," the State Department said.
However, the State Department did not discuss in detail
what kind of protections U.S. carriers would be provided
from arbitrary restrictions on night flights at EU airports. The
Department official who can provide that information is on
vacation. until next week.
The State Department said that the new agreement "also
adds a new article on the importance of high labor standards
in the airline industry and underscores the importance of
close transatlantic cooperation on aviation environmental
matters in order to advance a global approach to global chal-
lenges."
Legislative Changes Required
The EU explained that, under the Second Stage, the U.S.
and Europe have committed to the goal of removing remain-
ing access barriers, and will review progress toward this ob-
jective on an annual basis.
Additional commercial rights will be exchanged in the fu-
ture subject to following legislative changes:
• Reciprocal liberalization of airline ownership and con-
trol. Currently, foreign ownership in US airlines is limited to
25 percent of voting rights. Upon legislative change in the
U.S., the EU will reciprocally allow majority ownership of
EU airlines by U.S. nationals;
• Airport noise -based restrictions. Subject to legislative
changes in the EU concerning the process for introducing
noise -based airport restrictions, EU airlines will gain addi-
tional rights to fly between the U.S. and a number of non-Eu-
ropean countries. Furthermore, a number of obstacles for EU
investment in third -country airlines will be removed. Similar
rights will be available for U.S. airlines when the US laws
allow EU majority ownership of U.S. airlines.
The EU said that the negotiators also achieved significant
improvements in ternis of regulatory cooperation:
• The agreement will strengthen cooperation on environ-
mental matters by requiring the compatibility and interaction
of market-based measures (such as emission trading schemes)
to avoid duplication; by promoting greater transparency for
noise -based airport measures; and. by enhancing green tech-
nologies, fuels and air traffic management. This cooperation
is key to making international aviation more sustainable.
• For the first time in aviation history, the agreement in -

noise abatement rules without the rigor of actual data collec-
tion, objective measurements, and cost benefit analysis, and
improperly has sought to avoid meaningful Administration
review. indeed, the NPRM appears politically inspired, not
scientifically based, and lacks an adequate purpose and
need," the trade groups told FAA.
FAA noted in the NPRM that NY Sen. Charles Schumer
(D) and former senator Hillary Rodham Clinton (D) wanted
the mandatory helicopter route to be imposed.
The proposed rule (22 ANR 66) would require civil heli-
copters operating under visual flight riles along a section of
the northern shoreline of Long Island, NY, to follow the pub-
lished New York North Shore Route, which was adopted on a
voluntary basis in 2008 as a way to address thousands of
complaints about helicopter noise, especially in the summer,
when helicopters fent' people from Manhattan to Long Island
beaches.
Four Reasons to Extend Comment Period
In their joint letter, the aviation trade groups cited four
reasons to extend the comment period on the proposed heli-
copter route.
".First, the potential economic impact of the proposed reg-
ulatory changes, particularly on small businesses, is signifi-
cant. The NPRM states that the FAA identified only five
small entities in the New York market that would be impacted
by the proposed regulatory changes. Our initial analysis indi-
cates that the proposed regulatory changes have the potential
to impact over fifty small businesses.
"Second, the environmental impact of the proposed regu-
latory changes does not appear to be well-documented. The
NPRM states that the proposed rulemaking action qualifies
for the categorical exclusion from the requirement for an en-
vironmental assessment or environmental impact statement
under the National Envirormnental Policy Act of 1969, 42
U.S.C. 4321 et. seq., because it does not have a significant ef-
fect on the human environment.
"We believe the potential environmental impact could be
significant with the concentration of noise on selected areas
and the additional fuel buns that will be the result of more cir-
cuitous routes. As a result, the categorical exclusion finding
may not be in accord with FAA Order JO 7400.2G Proce-
dures for Handling Airspace Matters, and FAA Order
1050.1E Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures. JO
7400.2G.

"Third, the FAA in this NPRM appears to be responding
more to subjective complaints, observations, and local poli-
tics than technical or safety-related data, while engaging in
the relatively uncharted practice of using its regulatory au-
thority, as opposed to an airport sponsor's proprietary powers,
for the purpose of imposing mandatory noise abatement pro-
cedures. As a result, the NPRM may have unintended and far-
reaching consequences that impact both the industry as well
as the FAA itself, while having the unintended result of de-
creasing the margin of safety.
Two aviation also criticized the NPRM for similar reasons
(22 ANR 70).
"More time is needed so that we may fully understand
and evaluate the potentially extensive and wide-ranging con-
sequences of the proposed regulatory action," the trade
groups told FAA.
"Finally," they said, "we are concerned that the NPRM
did not undergo review by the Office of Management and
Budget, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs
("OIRA").
"The NPRM states that the FAA has determined that the
proposed rule is not a 'significant regulatory action' within
the meaning of section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, and
therefore is exempt from a full evaluation. Given the contro-
versy this NPRM has generated, and the above policy and
legal issues, we believe that full OIRA evaluation of the
NPRM is warranted."
The FAA has received over 300 comments on the pro-
posed mandatory helicopter route. Many are from residents
supporting the proposal but others, some fionn helicopter pi-
lots, oppose it.
Southampton Concerned about Safety
The Village of Southampton, NY, located 70 miles east of
New York City on Long island, asked FAA to formally recog
nize its heliport in the New York North Shore Helicopter
Route and to require helicopters to approach and depart from
the north.
Last September, citing safety concerns, the Village asked
the FAA to restrict helicopter operations at the Southampton
heliport and to define flight paths for helicopters and small
planes.
"During the summer months in Southampton, we have
planes that pull banners, private and commercial helicopters
operating, Coast Guard operations both in the air and at sea,
and no control system in place," Southampton Mayor Mark
Epley, told FAA Administrator Randy Babbitt in a Sept. 4,
2009, letter.
The mayor asked FAA to begin restricing helicopter oper-
ations citing the "cowboy attitude of many of the pilots and
the blatant disregard of their own 'neighborhood friendly'
guidelines."
"I envision the worst; a helicopter pilot departing the heli -
pad to the south over homes and a crowded beach encounter-
ing a. plane pulling a banner. The Village code is written to
prevent that from happening but is appears the only govern -

ment body who has the ability to control airspace is yours,"
Mayor Epley told the FAA administrator.
However, in a Dec. 4, 2009, reply, Carmine Gallo, Re-
gional Administrator of FAA's Eastern Region, told the
mayor that his request was denied.
"To our knowledge there have been no known incidences
where safety has been compromised. due to operations at this
heliport," the FAA official said.
Seattle -Tacoma Intl
AIR CANADA JAZZ WINS FIRST
PLACE IN FLY QUIET AWARDS
Three airlines were honored by the Port of Seattle Com-
mission on June 22 as winners of the 2010 Fly Quiet Awards
for their efforts in 2009 at Seattle -Tacoma International Air-
port.
Air Canada Jazz finished first this year, with SkyWest
Airlines (United Express) second, and Virgin America recog-
nized as honorable mention.
The Fly Quiet incentive program was designed to honor
airline companies that work to reduce the impacts of jet noise
on the region. Evaluations include measuring each airline on
its compliance with noise abatement flight paths, overall
noise level of its operations and compliance for testing en-
gines on the ground, the Port explained.
The annual awards were established by Port staff and a
citizen advisory cornrmittee to increase airline and pilot
awareness to benefit local communities.
"We applaud the Fly Quiet Award winners as good neigh-
bors to the communities affected by aircraft noise," said Bili
Bryant, Port of Seattle Commission President.
Both Air Canada Jazz and SkyWest scored well due to
their jets following noise abatement flight paths and through
operation of quieter Canadair Regional Jet (CRJ) aircraft. Vir-
gin America operates Airbus 319/320 aircraft, the Port said.

FAA APPROVES 150 PROGRAM
FOR BUCKEYE MUNICIPAL
On June 21, the Federal Aviation Administration an-
nounced its approval of the Part 150 Airport Noise Compati-
bility Program for Buckeye (AZ) Municipal Airport.
The agency gave outright approval to all five proposed
program measures:
• Developing a pilot and community outreach program;
• Developing project review guidelines for development
of proposals within the Public Airport Disclosure Area;
• Ask Town of Buckeye to discourage re -zoning of
parcels near the airport that would allow more than one
dwelling unit per acre;

• Update noise exposure maps and noise compatibility
program; and.
• Oversee implementation of Part. 150 program.

• Noise -reducing engine nozzles;
• Advanced wing trailing edges;
• Optimized flight trajectories using onboard flight man-
agement systems, and
• Open rotor and geared turbofan engines.
The five contracts are expected to total $125 million over
the five-year span of the program. Under this "cost sharing"
arrangement the companies will match or exceed the FAA's
contribution, bringing the overall value of the prograin to
more than $250 million.
The CLEEN program helps develop environmentally
friendly and energy efficient aircraft and engine technology
that could be introduced into the commercial aircraft fleet be-
ginning in 2015.
The CLEEN companies will participate in a government -
industry consortium. The consortium will work to develop
technologies that will. reduce noise, emissions, and fuel burn
to enable the aviation industry to expedite integration of these
technologies into current and future aircraft.
CLEEN Program Goals
Specifically, CLEEN's goals include developing and
demonstrating by 2015:
• Aircraft technology that reduces aircraft fuel bum by 33
percent relative to current subsonic aircraft technology, and
which reduces energy consumption and greenhouse gas emis-
sions;
• Engine technology that reduces landing and takeoff
cycle (LTO) nitrogen oxide emissions by 60 percent, without
increasing other gaseous or particle emissions, over the Inter-
national Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) standard
adopted in 2004;
• Certifiable aircraft techmology that reduces noise levels
by 32 dB cumulative, relative to the current Stage 4 noise
standard; and
• The extent to which new engine and aircraft technolo-
gies may be used to retrofit or re -engine aircraft to decrease
aviation's environmental impact. Wide ranging sustainable
aviation jet fuels, including quantification of benefits; and
• Safety and transition strategies that enable "drop in" re-
placement for petroleum -derived aviation fuels. Drop-in al-
ternative fuels will require no significant modifications to
aircraft and. engines and. with a goal of performing more effi-
ciently, and cleaner than current fossil -based fuels.
The FAA said it will conduct independent assessments of
CLEEN technologies using a modeling tool developed at
Georgia Institute of Technology for the FAA.

but require materials that are capable of withstanding higher temperatures
than previous engines. Ceramic matrix composites offer the potential of
better thermal and structural performance, while helping to reduce weight

Alan Epstein, Pratt & Whitney vice president, Technology & Environ-
ment, also commented on the CLEEN program. "The PurePower
PW 1000G(r) engine, which is scheduled for entry into service in 2013, al-
ready enables Pratt & Whitney to deliver world class levels of fiiel bunt,
noise, and emissions," lie said.
"Unlike conventional turbofans based on existing technology that
have been stretched to its limits to achieve added efficiencies, the geared
turbofan engine technology has runway and should achieve fuel burn sav-
ings of 25-35 percent by the 2020s. The gear changes everything."
"The PurePower family of engines is designed to power the next gen-
eration of passenger aircraft. The combination of its gear system and ad-
vanced core allows PurePower engines to deliver double-digit
improvements in fuel efficiency and. emissions with a 50 -percent reduc-
tion in noise over today's engines," Pratt & Whitney said.
