For two and a half months this
summer into fall, residents living in
areas surrounding the Minneapolis -
St. Paul International Airport
(MSP) will notice a change in
where aircraft are flying in the sky.
As one of the last remaining
projects included in the airport's
2010 airport improvement plan,
the center section of the north
parallel runway (Runway 12L/30R)
will be reconstructed.
From mid-August to late -
October the runway will be shut
down and unavailable for landings
and takeoffs. Aircraft that would
have typically used this runway will
be shifted to the airport's
remaining three runways. The
temporary change in flight paths,
and the use of the three remaining
runways, will be similar to what
occurred in 2007 when the south
parallel runway (12R/30L) was
temporarily closed for
reconstruction.
When reconstruction is completed,
all of Runway 12L/30R will consist
of a base of at least three feet
granular material with 12 inches of
, I crushed alimestone on top of thatt
and another 20 inches of concrete
on top of that. The new
pavement will provide at least 40

maintenance free.
The Need
Although the two ends of this
1960's era runway were
reconstructed in 1990, the middle
portion of the runway remains to
be completed and currently

requires continuous monitorinbc,
and frequent repairs due to age an
use.
Although the runway has been kept
viable and safe through monitoring
and repairs, the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) has
indicated that a long-term solution
is needed.
Noise Impact Changes
As in 1990, the runway's closure
means a shift in which runways are
used for landings and takeoffs. In
1990 the crosswind runway
handled many of the flights that
would have been sent to the
north parallel runway.
This summer Runway 4/22 will
be used again for both landings
and takeoffs, as will the north/
south runway (Runway 17/35).
One of the more noticeable
changes will be for residents and
businesses located in Minneapolis
under the arrival path to Runway
17. Except during construction in
2007, landings on this runway
have been virtually non-existent
since its opening in October 2005
due to the configuration of the
runways at MSP.
Typically, aircraft land on a
"straight -in" approach to a
runway. Landings on Runway 17
will be no exception. The landing
path will generally follow a line
straight out from the runway.
This will place landing aircraft
over downtown Minneapolis and
neighborhoods north of the
airport.
Landings are generally more
frequent and lower in altitude
than departures. They are also
generally quieter than takeoffs.

When the winds favor departures
from Runway 35, aircraft will travel
to the north over Minneapolis, but
will likely be less noticeable since
they will generally coincide with the
departure paths used today off the
north parallel runway.
Other areas that will see more
aircraft include those located under
the landing path for Runway 22, in
Highland Park and other
communities northeast of St. Paul.
Areas in Eagan currently impacted
by departures off the south parallel
runway will notice an increase in the
number of aircraft, as will areas in
Bloomington that are impacted by

economic environment, the increase
in operations is expected to be less
overall than would have been on this
runway in previous years
Why Now9
A 2009 timeframe is prudent for this
project for several reasons:
(1) A fourth runway is now open,
allowing for at least two functioning
runways at all times. The additional
capacity afforded by Runway 17/35
will help minimize delays.
(2) The time of year is best due to
calm or southeast winds being
predominant. These wind patterns
allow aircraft to take off to the
southeast over a less populated
industrial/ commercial corridor in
(3) The airlines are forecasting lower
numbers of operations at MSP due
to the economic environment.
This will help keep delays at a more
manageable level.
(4) The project will eliminate a
critical maintenance challenge on the
airfield in a timely manner.

The National Organization to Insure a Sound -
Controlled Environment (NOISE) is proud to
report that it will be holding its first annual
Policy Summit/Community Involvement
Workshop in San Antonio, TX on Tuesday,
November 10th, 2009 with a goal to enhance
community participation. To reinforce the
organization's 38 years of unique connection
with Congress and to better acquaint
communities with the Federal Government and
the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA),
NOISE has decided to shift from its annual
summer conference, which generally focuses
on the technical side of the noise abatement
argument, to holding a Policy Summit in
conjunction with the National League of Cities
(NLC), Congress of Cities and Exposition.

UC DAVIS SIMPOSIUM
NOISE Executive Director, Dennis McGrann
participated as a panelist in the UC Davis
Symposium on Aviation Noise & Air Quality
"Politics of Change" roundtable discussion on
Tuesday, March P, 2009.The roundtable
discussion focused on the FAA
Reauthorization bill along with a variety of
environmental and noise initiatives important
to the group. The agenda included a
compelling mix of noise and air quality
presentations and discussions. Speakers
include representatives from FAA, airports,
communities, industry and consultants.
This symposium has been organized under the
umbrella of the University of California for 24
years. It has grown from a small gathering of
mostly California airport operators to
strategize how to handle noise issues to
become a large international gathering of more
than 300 stakeholders representing all
perspectives to look at noise and emissions
issues. The symposium addresses regulations,
policy, legal issues, communications and
technology. Novice airport staff and
experienced engineers, consultants to
politicians and community members affected
by impacts are welcome. The symposium is an
important place to network with others
working in this area. It is a great place to learn
about how the environmental impacts of one
mode of transport are addressed from a
multitude of different perspectives.
NOISE hopes to continue to participate in the
symposium in future years
FAA REA uTHORIZATION
As promised, Transportation and Infrastructure
Chairman James Oberstar (D -MN) introduced
the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2009 (HR
915) on February 9, 2009, which the
committee approved by voice vote Thursday,
March 5th. The legislation provides historic
funding levels, $70 billion, for the Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) capital
programs between fiscal year (FY) 2009 and
FY 2012.
The FAA is currently operating under a string
of short-term extensions, the latest of which is
scheduled to expire at the end of this March,
2009.
Within these fields, a variety of NOISE
priorities are addressed. Under HR. 915, $16.2
billion will be allocated for Airport
Improvement Programs (All?), $13.4 billion
for FAA Facilities and Equipment (F&E),
$38.9 billion for FAA Operations, and $1.35
billion for Research, Engineering, and
Development (RE&D).
The monies allocated for FAA F&E are
intended to accelerate the implementation of
the Next Generation Air Transportation
System (NextGen); enable FAA to make
needed repairs and preachment of existing
facilities and equipment; and provide for the
implementation of high-priority safety-related
systems.
Among other things, the bill would also
includes a number of Environmental
provisions including; the legislation also asks
for CLEEN Engine and Airframe Technology
Partnerships; Environmental Mitigation Pilot
Program; Aircraft Departure Queue
Management Pilot Program; Prohibition on
State 2 aircraft under 75,000 lb.; ACRP
Program funding; Encourage airports to
implement environmentally -beneficial aircraft
Right procedures; Amends the Air Tour
Management Program; Allows FAA to enter
into voluntary agreements; Extends authority
for FAA to provide AIP grants; Determination
of Regulatory Responsibility for Aircraft
Engine Noise and Emission Standards, Change
in Grant Assurance; Part 150 Study at
PANYNJ Airports; and Passenger Facility
Charge cap.
Sources indicate that, lawmakers are preparing
another extension that would reauthorize the
FAA through the end of the fiscal year, but
they are searching for a vehicle. It has been
understood that Oberstar would support an
extension through the end of the fiscal year as
a matter of necessity, as he sees passage a high
priority.
2
NOISE will continue to follow the progress on
this important piece of legislation and keep
you updated.
CONGRESSIONAL SUPPORT
Chairman Oberstar stated in his opening statement
to the Sub -committee on Aviation concerning the
FAA Reauthorization Act of 2009, "The
environment is the third leg of a three-part capacity
enhancement initiative..." Due to Chairman
Oberstar constant activism for NOISE priorities,
NOISE awarded Chairman Oberstar the NOISE
Lifetime Achievement Award in 2003 and
champion of the Environment Award, NOISE
continues to be appreciative for his actions.
CRITICAL ISSUE!
The Airport Cooperative Research Program
(ACRP) was authorized in December 2003 as
part of the Vision 100 -Century of Aviation
Reauthorization Act. In October 2005, the
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
executed a contract with the National
Academies, acting through its Transportation
Research Board (TRB), to serve as manager of
the ACRD. Program oversight and governance
are provided by representatives of airport
operating agencies.
ACRP Research Results Digest 5, entitles
"Current and Emerging Issues Facing the
Airport Industry" ranks Environmental and
energy sustainability at the top of the list of
critical research issues facing the aviation
industry in a report issued in January.
More details on the study can be found at
http•//onlinepubs trb or /ogL lAinepubs/acre/acro
rrd 005.pdf.
FEDERAL FUNDING
The Omnibus Appropriations Bill (HR 1105),
was passed by the House on Wednesday,
February 25, 2009 by a margin of 245-178 and
in the Senate Tuesday, March 10th by voice
vote with a margin of 62-35. This $410 billion
bill contains the remaining nine fiscal year
2009 appropriations measures that have yet to
become law and represents an 8 percent
increase ($31 billion) over fiscal year 2008
spending levels.
HR 1105 includes $3.5 billion for Airport
Modernization, Safety, and Efficiency Grants
to ease congestion and prepare our nation's
airports for growing use, the bill also includes
$1.2 billion for Aviation Safety Programs, $82
million above 2008 levels. Sources also
indicate that the legislation includes over $2.5
billion for FAA facilities and equipment
(F&E), $278 million for NextGEN, and $8
million for small community air service
development pilot program.
The American Recovery and Reinvestment
Act of 2009 (HR 1) was signed into law on
Tuesday, February 17"'. This package
provided $787 billion in funding for federal
programs. Currently, Federal agencies are in
the process of putting together their budgets
and creating the procedures for the release of
these funds. As you may be aware, some of
the funding will be released through formula
block grants, while others will be released
through a competitive grant process which is
likely to begin shortly.
HR 1 provides $64.1 billion for infrastructure
investment to enhance the safety, security, and
efficiency of our highway, transit, rail,
aviation, environmental, inland waterway,
public buildings, and maritime transportation
infrastructure. The legislation includes $1.3
billion for aviation, including Airport
Improvement Program ($1.1 billion) and
Federal Aviation Administration Facilities and
Equipment ($200 million).
NOISE AND YOUR HEALTH
All over the world people are campaigning
about airport, aviation, and noise in general. In
Italy, activists are mobilizing and holding a
European Conference for Aviation
Campaigners this summer.
j The Department of Psychiatry at the
University of London published a study in the
British Medical Bulletin identifying exposure
to continuous noise, particularly over a
3
lifetime in industrial settings, can lead to a
progressive loss of hearing, with an increase in
the threshold of hearing sensitivity. But, more
commonly noise interferes with complex task
performance, modifies social behavior, and
causes annoyance.
The World Health Organization indicated that,
the highest numbers of complaints of sleep
disturbance and annoyance come from people
living around airports. Several measures are
being studied in European countries to reduce
exposure through housing insulation programs
and the regulation of flights schedules and
routes.
A study done by Airport Cooperative Research
Program (ACRD) indicated that there may be a
potential relationship between aviation noise
levels and hypertension or ischemic heart
disease at various noise levels. The study also
indicated levels of correlation between
aviation and road noise above certain
thresholds, and increased hypertension.
However, this case is often disputed.
NOISE will continue to work diligently on
behalf of all those affected my airport and
aviation noise with the Members of the
Minnesota Delegation on the aforementioned
issues and continuously report back with
updates. Please don't hesitate to contact us at
(202) 544-9844 if you have any questions or if
there are any areas of interest you'd like an
update on that were not discussed in this

Bob Hope, from p. 25
passage of the Airport Noise and Capacity Act of 1990, the
airport authority said.
Airport Authority President Bill Wiggins welcomed news
of the FAA's findings and said that the Authority will respond
promptly. "The Authority will certainly provide the requested
information within the 30 -day time frame set forth by the
FAA so we can continue to pursue the curfew. We have spent
over eight years and $6.5 million attempting to do what no
other airport in the country has been able to do in the past 18
years — complete a Part 161 Study. We intend to see the
process through," Wiggins said.
"We know the biggest challenge is still in front of us," he
added. "The regulations in Part 161 established very difficult
requirements before a new restriction can be put into effect,
and the FAA is the sole judge of whether we have met them.
We believe our Part 161 Study shows that a curfew at Bob
Hope Airport produces more benefits than costs, and the
study also shows that the national aviation system will func-
tion efficiently if the curfew is implemented."
FAA Letter
Lang said in her letter to the airport authority that it bad
provided the information required under the Part 161 regula-
tions. "However, there are inconsistencies between the infor-
mation about aircraft types and numbers of operations that
would be affected by the curfew in the `Documentation in
Support of a NEPA Categorical Exclusion Determination for
a Proposed Curfew at Bob Hope Airport'... and the benefit -
cost analysis in your application."
"First, Table 2 in the NEPA Categorical Exclusion Deter-
mination shows that the majority of operations shifted to On-
tario Airport would be of Bombardier Dash 8 type aircraft. In
contrast, the benefit -cost analysis shows that the bulk of oper-
ations shifted would be of a Bombardier Dash 6 types aircraft
and that very few would involve the Dash 8.
"Second, the appendix to the benefit -cost analysis states
that the estimated number of flights operating at night that
would be shifted to Ontario Airport is 8,830. This estimate in-
cludes Ameriflight and other small air cargo flights. The
NEPA Categorical Exclusion Determination states that the es-
timated number shifted if 6,336, not 8,830.
"Since the Dash 6 is louder than the Dash 8, this would
affect the potential level of noise increases and the size of the
65 DNL dB noise contour over noise sensitive areas around
Ontario Airport. Similarly, the difference of over 2,000 in the
number of nighttime flights shifted would affect the potential
level of noise increases over such areas."
Lang told the Airport Authority that, although it had pro-
vided credible explanations for these discrepancies in re-
sponse to FAA's inquiries, the agency "has a responsibility to
verify the accuracy of the operational data used in these cir-
cumstances." She said that the FAA must review the Inte-
grated Noise Model (INM) input files "to determine the
completeness of your application" under Part 161. "Providing
26
these files will also facilitate our detailed review of your ap-
plication once it is determined to be complete," Lang wrote.
After the FAA receives the supplemental information that
finalizes the study, the FAA will begin a more substantive
180 -day review of the application leading to its final deci-
sion.
The FAA's letter and extensive information on the Au-
thority's Part 161 Study are available online at www.bobho-
peairport.corn.
Noise Metrics, from p. 25
Currently there are no established criteria or standardized
procedures for use of supplemental metrics. This has posed a
problem for airports in their environmental analyses of air-
port projects.
The Federal Aviation Administration's Draft Part 150
Program Advisory Circular states that supplemental metrics
may be used in an airport's Part 150 Airport Noise Compati-
bility Study to described aircraft noise exposure for specific
noise -sensitive locations or situations and to assist in the pub-
lic's understanding of noise exposure.
But the draft circular instructs airports to "coordinate
with your FAA point of contact if you plan to use supplemen-
tal analyses to demonstrate effects in areas such as sleep dis-
turbance, speech interference or children's learning in your
Noise Compatibility Program (NCP)."
The DoD guidebook on supplemental noise metrics will
include:
• A summary of the effects of noise on people based on
previous and current research;
• Various metrics in current use: their strengths and weak-
nesses, their application to noise effects on people, and exam-
ples of their use;
• Recommendations for metric selection and application;
and
• Examples of supplemental metric use at three military
airfields and 14 civilian airports to demonstrate their practical
application in noise assessments.
Albee said that the Dol) Guide and Technical Bulletin
"will provide specific guidance for selection of metrics to
apply depending on the nature and level of exposure and
stakeholder concerns in the affected area."
Nashville Intl
PASSUR Aerospace announced March 6 that, together
with its subcontractor Harris Miller Miller & Hanson
(HMMH), it has contracted to provide comprehensive noise
management solutions to Nashville International Airport.
"For us, the Nashville system is a perfect application of
our software. PASSUR Aerospace provides the radar data and
we provide the analysis capability," added Mr. Robert Miller,
Airport Noise Report
March 13, 2009
Senior Vice President and head of H1b MH's Aviation Serv-
ices Group. "All of our products grow out of the needs of our
consulting practice, which strongly influences the features of
our new InFLIGHT(TM) package. We are pleased to be able
to pass those capabilities on to our clients through our soft-
ware."
"The PASSUR/HMMH solution is a robust, elegant and
cost-effective program that gets to the heart of where aviation
products need to be — to offer significant capabilities while
charging a fair price, and removing unnecessary complexity
and capabilities which only add cost," said Jim Barry, PAS-
SUR's President and CEO. "HMMH is a premier noise man-
agement company and it's a pleasure working with them
we look forward to continued success together."
"For airports wanting to analyze operations and noise ex-
posure levels without the expense of permanent noise moni-
toring equipment, help has finally arrived," PASSUR said.
The firm explained that its PASSUR InFLIGHT "provides
flight track analysis and storage, as well as the ability to
model noise exposure using the FAA's latest version of the
Integrated Noise Model, INM 7.0. InFLIGHT is built on two
of the most senior, trusted and proven legacies in noise and
operations management: PASSUR flight tracking and Real -

PARTNER
NOISEQUEST WEB SITE LAUNCHED
TO PROVIDE NOISE ISSUES FORUM
Community members, civic leaders, homebuyers, and
others concerned about aviation noise have a new Web site
called NoiseQuest that was launched on March 2 to help
them understand noise sources and effects, explore options
for dealing with noise, and access noise -related resources.
NoiseQuest is sponsored by the Federal Aviation Admin-
istration's Office of Environment and Energy to improve pub-
lic understanding of aviation noise, provide a forum for noise
issues, and foster better relations between airports and sur-
rounding communities.
Site information is derived from government documents,
news articles, research journals, and current aviation prac-
tices. NoiseQuest will be expanded over the next year to in-
clude additional outreach information and downloadable
handouts.
The new Web site was developed by Penn State Univer-
sity and the Partnership for AiR Transportation Noise and
Emissions Reduction http://www.partner.aero, a nine -univer-
sity aviation noise and emissions research consortium head-
quartered at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Also
involved in the project were Purdue University, Washington
Airports Authority, Palisades Citizens Association and avia-
tion noise -consulting firms Har -is Miller Miller & Hanson

The site, www.noisequest.psu.edu, includes educational
content, a community forum that provides users an opportu-
nity to participate in a moderated discussion on the Wyle
Noise Bulletin and links to airport noise sites, environmental
information and other educational resources. NoiseQuest visi-
tors can also find how noise is measured, sources of aviation
noise, effects of noise and other related topics.
Kathleen Hodgdon, a senior research assistant at Penn
State's Applied Research Laboratory who led the site devel-
opment team, said NoiseQuest is designed to improve the
public's understanding of aviation noise, provide a forum to
discuss aviation noise issues, and foster better relations be-
tween airports and their surrounding communities.
David Carbone, transportation systems coordinator/air-
port environs planning in San Mateo County, Calif., said
NoiseQuest offers users a single place to obtain information
about aircraft noise. "I look forward to the site continuing to
grow and expand so it can serve as a useful repository for the
most current information on a complex topic."
Raquel Girvin, manager of the FAA's Office of Environ-
ment and Energy Noise Division, added, "Beyond providing
answers to questions regarding aircraft noise, NoiseQuest of-
fers an opportunity for the public to interact with other avia-
tion stakeholders regarding their noise concerns."
Las Vegas McCarran Intl
Since the 1990s, Clark County, NV, proprietor of Las
Vegas McCarran International Airport and several general
aviation airports, has unofficially required that new homes
constructed within the 60 dB DNL contour of McCarran be
built to attenuate outdoor sound by 25 dB and that a noise
disclosure form be provided to home buyers. These "unoffi-
cial" mitigation requirements were codified into County Code
in June of last year.
Now the County is hoping that the other three jurisdic-
tions around its airports will also officially extend their resi-
dential building code sound attenuation requirements out to
the 60 dB DNL contours to protect its airports at the same
level Clark County is.
And to deal with the onset of new high-rise residential
construction around its airports – some of which is over 500
feet high – the County adopted more stringent sound attenua-
tion requirements for new residential structures higher than
35 feet.
Clark County changed its building codes to officially re-
quire 25 dB sound attenuation for residential structures
within the 60 dB DNL contour that are up to 35 feet in height.
For residential structures higher than 35 feet, the building
code requires 30 dB sound attenuation in the 60 dB DNL con-
tour and 35 dB sound attenuation in the 65 dB DNL contour.
The code update also officially requires disclosure of

Clark County may be the first airport proprietor to seek flight tracks
on noise disclosure forms. ANR is not aware of any other noise disclosure
forms that include information on flight tracks.
Thus far, only Unincorporated Clark County has adopted these more
stringent building codes, Jeff Jacquart, Airport Program Administrator, re-
ported at the annual University of California at Davis Symposium on Avi-
ation Noise and Air Quality, held in Palm Spring, CA, on March 1-4.
The other three jurisdictions around the airports — the City of Las
Vegas, City of North Las Vegas, and City of Henderson — have not yet
formally considered Clark County's proposal, Jacquart told ANR.
In addition to McCarran International, Clark County is proprietor of
North Las Vegas Airport and Henderson Airport, located within 10-15
miles of McCarran. North Las Vegas Airport is the second busiest airport
in Nevada and Henderson Airport serves high-end corporate jets.
Clark County set the stage for asking the jurisdictions to extend their
residential sound attenuation building requirements by including the 60
dB DNL contour on noise exposure maps approved in June 2008 as part
of the Part 150 Airport Noise Compatibility Program for McCarran Inter-
national.
tour to attenuate outside sound by 25 dB is expected to cost $2,000 to
$3,000 per home, Jacquart said. The same requirement has been in place
for new home construction in the 65 dB DNL contour for over 20 years.
He said it might not cost builders of high-rises as much to meet the
more aggressive sound attenuation requirements because of energy effi-
ciency demands they must already meet for high-rise construction. The
developers have so far agreed to the sound attenuation goals set for high-
rises, which were lowered from the County's original conditions of a 42
dB sound attenuation reduction.

GUIDEBOOK ON COMMUNITY RESPONSE
TO AIRCRAFT NOISE IN FINAL EDITING STAGE
A Guidebook on Community Response to Aircraft Noise, which was developed
under the Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP), is in the final editing
stages and its release date may be announced in a few weeks.
The Guidebook, ACRD Project 02-05, was developed by the airport consulting
firm Landrum & Brown under a $400,000 contract that began in March 2007 and
was completed in November 2008.
Jou Woodward, executive vice president of L&B's Environmental Services Di-
vision, discussed the new guidebook at a March 4 session of the annual University
of California at Davis Aviation Noise & Air Quality Symposium, which was held in
Palm Springs, CA.
The goal of the project, he said, was to produce "a comprehensive guidebook
and set of tools to enable airport decision makers and managers to better manage
community expectations related to aircraft noise issues" by providing:
• Basic information about noise, including noise abatement techniques and land
use management tools;

PILOT HOME SOUND INSULATION PROGRAM
GEARING UP; ESTIMATE IS $65,000 PER HOME
Within the next few months, Ft. Lauderdale -Hollywood International Airport
will launch a pilot residential sound insulation program to gear up for the full pro-
gram, which will include 1,098 single family homes and 608 multi -family units
near the airport that will get significantly increased noise impact from the extension
of the south runway to accommodate commercial jets.
The cost of the full residential sound insulation program plus a purchase assur-
ance program and the purchase of 368 mobile homes is estimated at $456 million,
airport officials said. Broward County has reserved $35 million for the sound insu-
lation program. County officials noted that the insulation program also will be
funded through federal Airport Improvement Program grants and Passenger Facil-
ity Charge revenue.
The airport estimates that it will spend on average $65,000 per home for sound
insulation that could include new windows and doors, additional insulation and im-
proved air conditioning.
About 50 homes will be included in the pilot program, airport officials told
Broward County (FL) Commissioners at a March 17 workshop held to discuss the
insulation program and a Part 150 airport noise compatibility study that will be

• Best practices to address community response; and
• An assessment of noise metrics and approaches to en-
bance public communication.
"Generally, current understanding of the factors that influ-
ence community responses toward aircraft noise is inade-
quate," ACRD explained in the project statement. "Moreover,
an airport's grasp of these factors is important to its ability to
manage local aircraft noise issues within the community.
When aircraft noise causes community opposition to airport
operations or planned development, airports have often at-
tempted to overcome the project -specific opposition rather
than manage community expectations for the long term.
Without effective, long-term management of community ex-
pectations for aircraft noise, airports face a significant con-
straint to meeting future airport -capacity needs.
"It is increasingly important for airport decision makers
to understand the aircraft noise issue and to take advantage of
successful practices at other airports to manage community
aircraft noise expectations. Airports also need new tech-
niques or assessment methods to communicate more effec-
tively and thereby manage community expectations."
Project Findings
To prepare the guidebook, L&B reviewed the available
literature, surveyed airports about topics that should be ad-
dressed, interviewed airports, users, and community represen-
tatives, and conducted case studies.
Based on this research Woodward told the symposium
that "few airports have a handle on addressing the emotional
public response to noise." One airport told him that what is
needed is a staff "with a customer service attitude as well as a
team of technicians."
Airports generally approach noise issues reactively, while
interest groups generally approach it proactively, he said.
"Airports are prone to use more one-way communication
techniques" while interest groups "want engagement through
two-way communications and dialogue."
While larger airports communicate with the public
through web sites, advisory groups, and publications, Wood-
ward said that small airport have little community outreach.
He cited several surprise findings in the study. One was
that airports rated their level of success in communicating
with the public as high but were cautious when asked to de-
fine what that meant. Several airports defined success as
"finding a method that works to reduce the controversy and
conflict and sticking with it," he said.
Interest groups rated their relationships with airports more
highly than airports did, Woodward said. They cited the
greatest recent improvements by airports as efforts to build
trust with the community, openness and listening by airport
staff and management, and bringing the community into the
problem solving process.
Woodward said that airports and communities have differ-
ent perspectives on their relationship. "Interest groups view
30
airports as public assets and themselves as partners with air-
ports in serving a community's need." Airports, on the other
hand, "typically don't relate to an equal partnership."
"One size does not fit all" when it comes to airports com-
munity relations efforts, he said. "Successful programs vary
by mission of the airport and composition of the neighbor and
use groups." Many airport communications and noise abate-
ment programs "have developed in response to the demands
of one sector and have been unbalanced in focus," Woodward
added.
Six Steps for Effective Engagement
He listed six steps that airports can take to effectively en-
gage with the community:
• Provide constructive involvement;
• Put senior leadership out front;
• Use high-level visual aides;
• Be transparent — openness and honesty;
• Select staff for a service-oriented attitude; and
• Be "ahead" with communication.
There is no best way to communicate with the public
about aircraft noise, Woodward said. "Engagement appears to
be best received when it is transparent, when the public has
an identified role in the process to consider abatement and
mitigation, and when it's driven by airport implementers."

done after the runway extension is completed.
The homes selected for inclusion in the sound insulation
pilot program are in close proximity to the 70 dB DNL con-
tour of the extended runway and include different housing
types and window systems.
Sound insulation in the pilot program is expected to begin
early in the fourth quarter of 2009.
Airport officials do not want to offer to purchase homes
in the noise impact area or to offer sales assistance until the
extended runway has been in use for one year.
When the runway extension project is completed, a Part
150 study will be done to assess the "actual" operations on
the new runway. The airport said that the study will provide
an opportunity to assess the existing noise mitigation pro-
gram and to address a noise abatement program, that may be
comprised of sound insulation of all eligible properties, pos-
sible acquisition of several mobile home parks, and the Pur-
chase Assurance/Sales Assistance Program.
The noise mitigation program will be developed in coor-
dination with the Cities of Dania Beach, Hollywood, and Ft.
Lauderdale. Under an Interlocal Agreement with Dania
Beach, the city can submit counter proposals.
The Cities of Dania Beach and Hollywood already have
filed suit challenging the Federal Aviation Administration's
approval of the runway project.

Pittsburgh Intl
STIMULUS FUNDING TO RENOVATE
RUNWAY FOR NOISE MMITIGATION
One of the first airport projects to be funded by the fed-
eral economic stimulus bill is the renovation of a runway at
Pittsburgh International Airport mostly used at night for noise
abatement purposes.
The Department of Transportation announced March 12
that the FAA will allocate $10 million to Pittsburgh Interna-
tional to repair Runway 14-32, which is one of four commer-
cial service runways at the airport.
The project includes grading, paving, marking signs, and
lighting upgrades to the runway. The runway work will begin
this summer and will take most of 2010 to complete. The
work on the cross -wind runway will not interfere with normal
aircraft operations at the airport.
In the early 1986s, Allegheny County, PA, then the opera-
tor of Pittsburgh International Airport, designated Runway
14-32 to be used for nighttime noise abatement. This opera-
tional measure to reduce noise impacts was approved by the
FAA in the airport's Part 150 Airport Noise Compatibility
Program. The operational measure places airplanes over com-
patible commercial land uses during noise sensitive nighttime
hours.
Under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of
. 2009, the FAA received $1 billion to allocate to qualified air-
ports on a discretionary basis. That funding will be allocated
based on a project priority system that addresses airport
safety and security, infrastructure, runway safety, increased
capacity, and mitigation of environmental impacts.
Port Columbus Intl
FINAL EIS ON RUNWAY MOVE
INCLUDES PART 150 MEASURES
On March 20, the Federal Aviation Administration an-
nounced the availability of the Final Environmental Impact
Statement for a replacement runway and other development
at Port Columbus International Airport.
The public had 30 days to comment on it.
The Columbus Regional Airport Authority proposes to re-
place an existing runway with a new one 700 feet to the south
that would be 10,113 feet long.
A Part 150 Airport Noise Compatibility Study Update
was prepared to address the current and future noise condi-
tions. The update includes an analysis of the potential noise
and land use impacts resulting from the proposed develop-
ment of relocating the runway to the south, as well as possi-
ble mitigation options, FAA said.
The noise abatement air traffic options recommended
through the Part 150 update are included in the Final EIS as
part of the proposed project. In addition, land use mitigation
31
the airport authority recommended in the Part 150 Update is
included in the final EIS as mitigation for the impacts result-
ing from the proposed project, FAA said.
The comment period on the Final EIS closes on April 20.

Military Bases
A Ky levy 1�! ;•
Last August, the Tampa, FL, City Council voted unani-
mously to amend the future land use map for the area around
MacDill Air Force Base to allow two landowners to rezone
their properties from light industrial to mixed use.
The change allows the landowners, who own two of the
largest vacant tracts of land near the base, to sell their land to
home builders.
Base officials and the Florida Department of Community
Affairs have filed an objection to the zoning change and a
hearing on the matter will be held in May before the Florida
Division of Administrative Hearings.
In 2005, Florida enacted a law stipulating that land use
around military bases must be "compatible with base opera-
tions." The law allows base commanders to voice their con-
cerns about noise and safety issues when zoning changes are
being considered.
The Florida Department of Community. Affairs contends
that the zoning changes around MacDill AFB violates that
law because it would increase the number of people living in
the bases' accident potential zone.
Heliports

East Hempfreld Township, PA, officials voted unani-
mously on March 16 to uphold a cease-and-desist order
against the owners of a helicopter training facility which was
the subject of noise complaints.
Brian and Rebecca Shank had sought approval to operate
a heliport on their property in the township but the zoning
hearing board denied their requests in 1996 and 2006.
However, in an effort to get around that denial, the Shanks
continued helicopter training over their property but did not
allow the helicopters to touch down. They took off and landed
from nearby Lancaster Airport.
Last July, after neighbors complained about noise from
the training operations and helicopters hovering over their
homes, the township issued a cease-and-desist order.
The Shanks then appealed that order in four hearings be-
fore the zoning hearing board, which denied the appeal.

The board held that the zoning ordinance had been violated by the
hovering helicopters. It said that that airspace above the land is part of the

land and is subject to regulation.
The Shanks have 30 days to appeal the zoning board's decision to the
Court of Common Pleas.

Part 150 Program
The reactions of airports, airlines, consultants and communities to the Federal
Aviation Administration's draft update to its Part 150 Program advisory circular
were discussed at a March 2 session of the annual University of California at Davis
Symposium on Aviation Noise & Air Quality, held in Palm Springs, CA.
The FAA expects to issue a final version of the Part 150 AC in 2009.
Comments on the draft circular, which is the first comprehensive update of
guidance to be done since the program began in 1983, were detailed in a presenta-
tion by Victoria Catlett, an environmental specialist in FAA's Planning and Envi-
ronmental Division, and Deborah Murphy Lagos, senior project manager at URS
Corp., which prepared the update under contract to the FAA.
FAA has not made the comments public. Catlett told ANR that joint comments
were received from the Airports Council International — North America and the Air-
port Consultants Council. The Air Transport Association also submitted comments
and the National Organization to Insure a Sound -Controlled Environment (NOISE)

HONEYWELL CALLS ON CONGRESS TO FOSTER
COMMUNITY SUPPORT FOR NEXTGEN ROUTES
The support and leadership of Congress is absolutely critical in fostering the
community support needed to aggressively deploy NextGen capabilities, an official
with Honeywell Aerospace told the Senate Commerce Subconunittee on Aviation at
a March 25 hearing.
The hearing was held to discuss the benefits of the Next Generation Air Trans-
portation System (NextGen), one of which is the ability to use satellite navigation
systems to place aircraft on flight paths so precise that planes deviate from them by
only a matter of yards.
T.K. Kallenbach, Honeywell's vice president for Marketing and Product Man-
agement, called these precise flight tracks "virtual off -ramps and on-ramp" to air-
ports.
"It is important to keep in mind that none of these NextGen capabilities can be
successfully deployed, nor the benefits fully achieved, without restructuring the
routes aircraft fly as they arrive and depart from our nation's airports," Kallenbach
told the Subcommittee.

Part I50AC, from p. 33
forwarded comments from several of its members (the City of
Aurora, CO; Planning Department and the Louisville (KY)
City Council).
ACC and ACI -NA commended the agency for updating
its Part 150 AC "in a manner that is well -organized, compre-
hensive, and useful for practitioners," Catlett said in her pres-
entation to the symposium
The update was prepared with an emphasis on plain lan-
guage, she said, but stressed that it does not change or modify
Part 150 requirements. It only expands upon and clarifies Part
150 requirements.
The update also provides new information on land use
classifications to help local jurisdictions make decisions in
this arena.
Among the areas commenters focused on were:
• Updating noise exposure maps (NEM) and revising
noise compatibility programs;
• Using the Integrated Noise Model (INM) with user -de-
fined points;
• Identifying and classifying land uses;
• Certifying the currency of the Existing Condition NEM;
• Eligibility of mitigation below 65 dB DNL; and
• FAN s policy of not funding the mitigation of new non-
compatible land uses occurring after Oct. 1, 1998.
Regarding updating NEMS, commenters wanted to know
how to deal with short-term changes (less than two years) to
NEMs as a result of temporary conditions, Catlett said.
Comments on the Integrated Noise Model focused on
what uses of the INM needed pre -approval from the agency.
Since the INM provides a procedure for generating noise
abatement departure procedures, is it really necessary to get
pre -approval? the agency was asked.
Selection of departure profiles based on comparison to
radar data is common practice. Does it really require pre -ap-
proval? commenters asked.
They also told the FAA that modified noise abatement de-
parture curves should be allowed with approval and that the
Part 150 AC update should mention the length of time, vol-
ume of documentation, and expense that is required to obtain
pre -approval from the agency.
Regarding noise mitigation measures below 65 dB DNL,
one commenter told the FAA that the AC "does not provide
sufficient guidance on the treatment of noise levels below 65
DNL or another locally used level of compatibility."
"The FAA should provide clear guidance re: type of justi-
fication that FAA will consider acceptable for setting local
standards and for implementing regulations based on those
standards," FAA was told.
Use of Supplemental Metrics
Catlett said that a lot of comments focused on the use of
supplemental metrics in Part 150 programs.
The AC should provide more direction on what supple-
mental analysis would be acceptable, or a desired outcome
34
from using supplemental metrics, FAA was told.
Commenters told FAA that "supplemental metrics should
be allowed in the evaluation of the effectiveness of noise
abatement measures where a change within DNL 65 is slight,
in cases where notable improvements may occur outside
DNL 65, or in cases where better adherence to existing proce-
dures may be achieved," she said.
They also told the agency that "it would be helpful to be
able to relate supplemental analyses to potential effects on
people, based on accepted research, e.g., general annoyance,
speech intelligibility, and awakenings."
The agency also was told that it should not be concerned
that the use of supplemental metrics may lead to the prolifera-
tion
roliferation of airport access restrictions because access restrictions
must satisfy onerous constitutional and federal requirements
in order to be permissible. "Supplemental metrics may be
used in the manner described in the AC — to further describe a
particular problem and its solution — but would not lead to re-
strictions that could not otherwise be justified by traditional
metrics (e.g. DNL)," commenters told the agency.
The Air Transport Association stressed in its comments
on the draft AC that the airlines should be specifically men-
tioned as a party that must be consulted in the development of
Part 150 programs and that they are an indispensible part of
the consultation process.
Catlett said that current guidance does list the airlines as
one of the parties that should be consulted.
Waterbury -Oxford Airport
On March 23, the Federal Aviation Administration an-
nounced its approval of the Part 150 Airport Noise Compati-
bility Program for Waterbury -Oxford Airport located in
Oxford, CT.
The airport is one of six airports owned by the Connecti-
cut Department of Transportation and has become one of the
fastest growing corporate aviation centers in the Northeast,
serving as an alternative to larger congested airports in the
New York metropolitan area.
At the beginning of 2008, there were approximately 80
based jets at the airport, which has one 5,800 -foot runway
(Runway 18-36), aligned north -south. The airport property is
zoned industrial but areas directly north and approximately
one-half mile south of the runway ends are zoned residential
with existing residential properties.
There were only 51 homes in the airport's 65 dB DNL
and higher noise contours in 2007 and that number is ex-
pected to decrease to 42 homes in 2012.
The agency granted outright approval to all 12 of the pro-
posed program elements, including:
• Creating Area Navigation (RNAV) overlay procedures
for existing and proposed departure procedures on Runway

18 (for all RNAV-equipped aircraft);
• Implementing the National Business Aviation Associa-
tion (NBAA) close -in noise abatement department procedure;
• Establishing Runway 18 (operations toward the south)
as the preferential nighttime (10 p.m. to 7 a.m.) runway;
• Forwarding all zoning changes in the towns to Conn -
DOT for comment;
• Establishing "fair" noise impact disclosure regulations
for residential property transfers;
• Establishing noise -related subdivision regulations for
new residential development;
• Voluntary acquisition of all homes within the DNL 65-
70 dB contour, plus a select number of homes outside the
DNL 65 dB contour for neighborhood continuity and equi-
table planning purposes;
• Voluntary sound insulation of all homes within the DNL
65-75 dB contour, plus a select number of homes outside the
DNL 65 dB contour for neighborhood continuity and equi-
table planning purposes, except those located within the Run-
way Protection Zone (RPZ);
• Establishment of a Noise Abatement Committee;
• Development of a Web site for public outreach;
• Publication of operational noise abatement measures in
pilot guides; and
• Provision for updates to the noise compatibility program
measures and noise contours.

U . IMP LIJUT IM1010011
The Los Angeles Board of Airport Commissioners an-
nounced March 23 that it had awarded a contract to Karabuild
Development, Inc., of Inglewood, for a portion of the work
being undertaken as part of Los Angeles International Air-
port's (LAX's) Residential Soundproofing Program.
The $714,999 contract covers sound -insulation modifica-
tions on 54 dwelling units (47 condominium units, three sin-
gle-family dwellings and two duplexes), all within Los
Angeles City Council District 11.
The LAX Residential Soundproofing Program includes
more than 9,400 residences in the Los Angeles communities
of Westchester, Playa del Rey and South Los Angeles with a
recorded Community Noise Equivalent Level (CNL) of 65
decibels or higher. Contractors typically install double -paned
windows, solid -core doors, fireplace doors and dampers, attic
baffles, insulation and heating -ventilation -air conditioning
(HVAC) to achieve a noise level reduction of approximately
one-half in a home's interior.
The 54 dwelling units in this project will bring the total
units completed or under construction and approved by the
W
Board to date to 6,321. The remaining 3,079 units are either
in the design phase, awaiting commencement of design, or
the owners have not responded or have declined to partici-
pate.
The program is administered by the Los Angeles World
Airports Residential Soundproofing Bureau.
NextGen, from p. 33
cision landing technology), "these new routes are often more
community -friendly, creating less noise and emissions," he
said.
To depict the precision of satellite based navigation sys-
tems, Hallenbach showed the subscommittee flight paths for
RNP and non -RNP aircraft approaching Brisbane Interna-
tional Airport runway 01 via the `River' noise abatement pro-
cedure.
"The RNP approach allows tracking at lower altitudes
over non-residential areas such as, in this case, the Brisbane
River and industrial areas. With RNP, the precision to stick to
the river and not `creep' over neighboring residential areas is
quite clear," he said.
"While it is understandable that local communities have
strong interests in where these virtual `off -ramps' and `on -
ramps' are located, it also needs to be clearly understood that
these changes are needed to achieve the broader community
benefits of overall reduced noise and emissions.
"An example of this dynamic is the on-going effort to re-
duce congestion in the New York terminal airspace. Four of
our nation's most delay -prone airports are located within this
airspace and effects from these delays routinely ripple
throughout the U.S. Efforts to provide congestion relief via
airspace redesign to take advantage of new capabilities and
procedures has been in work for over a decade, delayed in
part by opposition from local community groups. The leader-
ship of Congress is absolutely critical in developing the com-
munity consensus needed to aggressively deploy NextGen
capabilities," Hallenbach said.
Opposition to the airspace changes made under the Fed-
eral Aviation Administration restructuring of the airspace in
the New York/New Jersey/Philadelphia area was not just
from community groups, however. Lawsuits challenging the
redesign were filed by the State of Connecticut as well as
several large county govermnents.
James C. May, president and CEO of the Air Transport
Association, also addressed opposition to the NY/NJ/PHL
airspace redesign project at a hearing on NextGen before the
House Aviation Subcommittee on March 18.
Because the airspace redesign changed noise patterns, it
"has met stiff local political and public opposition and is the
subject of multiple legal challenges," May said. "It is impera-
tive that FAA push through these political and legal chal-
lenges and stay the course. And it must stay the course as it
implements airspace redesign initiatives elsewhere in the Na-
tional Airspace System, such as Chicago and the West Coast
corridor."

E-MAIL TO DOT SECRETARY RESULTS
IN COMMUNITY MEETING WITH FAA

groups trying to roll back a new RNAV (Area Navigation) approach pro -

cedure at Southwest Florida International that has concentrated noise over
Director, Office of Environment and Energy

ficials to discuss the airspace change.
Michael Scott Gatzke, Esq.
For months, residents of the communities, located about 10 miles
Gatzke, Dillon & Ballance
southeast of the airport, were frustrated that they could not speak directly
Carlsbad, CA
to FAA about the air route change and were upset that the agency imple-
mented it with no public hearing or public notice. FAA had only given
Peter J. Kirsch, Esq.
them an e-mail address to send comments to.

LaHood responded to Vonachen with his own e-mail stating that FAA

would get in touch with the local groups. Within a week, Doug Murphy,
regional administrator of FAA's Southern Region headquarters in Atlanta,
Steven F Pflaum, Esq.
had called to arrange a meeting.

On March 25-26 two meetings were held with officials from Estero

Both Vonachen and FAA officials said the meetings went well.
President, Synergy Consultants
Vonachen presented FAA with a proposal on how to tweak the new
Seattle
RNAV flight path to reduce its noise impact. FAA said it will review it.
"We have to take a closer look at all the options and the proposal put
forward" by the community groups, Kathleen Bergen, spokeswoman for
FAA's Southern Region office, said. She added that the FAA is committed
to responding to the community group on their proposal within 60-90
days and anticipates holding an additional meeting with them. She said
the initial meetings were very productive.
FAA was not required to hold public meetings on the SHFTY 1
RNAV approach procedure. The airspace changes were above 4,000 feet
and did not increase noise impact according to federal standards, Bergen
explained. The FAA's Noise Integrated Routing System (NIRS) was used
to assess the SHFTY 1 procedure.
NIRS is a noise screening procedure for certain air traffic actions
above 3,000 feet. It requires a 5 d DNL increase in noise levels in order
to find a significant increase in noise impact. That was not the case with
the SHFTY 1 procedure.

Noise Metrics
I • 9 •
The Federal Aviation Administration has notified the O'Hare Noise Compatibil-
ity Commission that the agency's comprehensive noise research plan will pursue
research to establish new or updated relationships between aircraft noise exposure
metrics and the health and welfare impact on residents living near airports.
Recent shifts in O'Hare International Airport air traffic following the opening
of a new runway last November has renewed concerns about frequency of flights
and annoyance to residents, according to ONCC Chairperson and Arlington
Heights Mayor Arlene J. Mulder, who initiated the noise review request by the
FAA.
"The FAA is keenly aware that aircraft noise continues to affect airport com-
munities despite large reductions in noise exposure," said Acting Assistant Admin-
istrator for Aviation Policy, Planning and Environment Nancy D. LoBue in a March
I 1 letter to Mulder.
"While decades of research throughout the world continue to show that com-
munity annoyance from cumulative noise energy exposure correlates well with the

Noise Metrics
FOCUS GROUPS SAY SUPPLEMENTAL METRICS
ENHANCE UNDERSTANDING OF NOISE IMPACT
A small number of focus groups participating in a British study found conven-
tional noise metrics, such as DNL, that involve the use of contour maps, "difficult
or impossible to understand" but found supplemental noise metrics very useful.
For most of those in the focus groups, the lack of relevance of conventional
metrics, such as DNL, to personal experience of aircraft noise makes them mean-
ingless, the study concluded. However, it said that "most participants agreed that a
suite of metrics providing information on flight paths, number of flights at peak
times, and maximum sound levels would be particularly useful."
The study, "Indices to enhance understanding & management of community re-
sponses to aircraft noise exposure," was conducted by a consortium of nine univer-
sities in the UK known as Omega, which focuses on aviation environmental
research. Omega is led by Manchester Metropolitan University.
The study is available on the Omega website: http://www.omega.mmu.ac.uk. It
was conducted by Paul Hooper, Janet Maughan, Ian Flindell, and Ken Hume of
Manchester Metropolitan University and the University of Southampton.
"Noise disturbance is often the most significant issue raised by local communi-
ties concerned about airport expansion and also accounts for the vast majority of

day/night average sound level (DNL), we agree that it is
timely to undertake a new systematic review," LoBue said.
The FAA official said that the research consortium PART-
NER
ARTNER has initiated research to investigate noise metrics that
best correlate with human response to noise exposure. "We at
FAA are presently developing the comprehensive research ef-
fort needed to definitively establish new or updated relation-
ships between noise exposure metrics and the health and
welfare impacts of noise," LoBue told the ONCC.
"At the same time," she continued, "we are pursuing
plans to enable earlier maturation of new aircraft noise reduc-
tion technologies through our proposed Continuous Low
Emissions, Energy, and Noise (CLEEN) initiative. As you
know, being able to move forward with that initiative is de-
pendent on appropriation of funds. We also remain actively
engaged in demonstrating and implementing low noise opera-
tional procedures."
The noise metrics research LoBue referred to in her letter
is part of the comprehensive noise research plan under devel-
opment by the FAA Office of Environment and Energy.
The ONCC said that as a member of the PARTNER Ad-
visory Board, it plans "to reach out to other airport communi-
ties this summer to promote further research and to ask
residents for their support by contacting aviation stakeholders
and government agencies to ensure aircraft noise reduction is
a priority for federal funding and research," Mulder ex-
plained.
Park Ridge Mayor Howard P. Frimark, whose city is feel-
ing the impact of O'Hare's new Runway 9L -27R, explained
he is willing to work with any FAA department to bring relief
to Park Ridge residents. "We have been relentless in our ef-
forts to reduce the number of flights on the new runway, said
Frimark. "We want to collect more noise data along the flight
tracks to show the FAA that the standards are skewed."
ONCC also formally requested a review of nighttime
flights to confirm that O'Hare's new runway usage and North
Air Traffic Control Tower adhere to normal hours of opera-
tion between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. Local FAA officials have
promised that any deviation in the nighttime flight schedule
will be forwarded to ONCC in a monthly report.
UK Study, from p. 37
complaints about airport operations. As aviation growth is
forecast to outstrip the rate of technical and operational im-
provement, the number of people exposed to noise around
UK airports could potentially increase; a trend that is unsus-
tainable," the researchers said.
"The absence of a common language of reporting, com-
munication and negotiation in relation to aircraft noise is a
key obstacle to more effective noise management. In order to
help address this deficiency and thereby facilitate better com-
munication and dialogue with local communities on the issue
of aircraft noise, this study undertook a preliminary, system-
atic evaluation of public understanding of conventional and
supplementary noise metrics. The intention here was not to
undermine the existing contour based metrics but rather to es-
tablish whether these could be enhanced if other explanatory
indices are added."
The findings of past research show:
- There is no consensus as to the best means of illustrating
aircraft noise exposure.
- What is measured and/or modeled is the physical phe-
nomenon of exposure to aircraft sound; however, it is the
human response to this (i.e. disturbance) that explains opposi-
tion to airport development. Thus, any attempt to improve
noise management should engage with the physiological,
psychological and sociological determinants of disturbance.
- Conventional metrics are primarily designed to `capture'
the aggregate level of noise exposure through single event
measurements or noise contour modeling and, thereby, pro-
vide a (legally) defendable basis for planning and other
strategic developmental decisions.
- Aggregating the elements of aircraft sound generation
can often inhibit public scrutiny and understanding of the in-
fluence of specific elements (e.g. maximum levels, duration
and frequency of events) on levels of disturbance.
- Supplementary indicators of noise exposure have made
a positive contribution to consultation exercises undertaken in
Australia; however, no systematic assessment of public un-
derstanding of the metrics has been attempted.
Focus Group Findings
The study said the focus groups revealed the following:
- General dissatisfaction and indeed mistrust in some
cases among members of the public with the aggregated in-
dictors such as Leq (equivalent sound level) and Lden (day -
evening -night level).
- A preference for metrics that disaggregate key elements
of aircraft noise; namely, time, frequency of events and indi-
vidual sound levels.
- A desire for a wider range of noise exposure illustra-
tions, especially among members of the public living close to
airports.
- Universal acknowledgement that bar charts, for specific
locations illustrating the numbers of events within ranges of
maximum sound levels for given periods of the day, were the
most informative and easiest to interpret of all the metrics
viewed.
- Consensus that the flight path densities maps were the
most visually attractive despite the lack of specific noise data
contained therein. To combat this, a number of participants
suggested that this image could be overlaid on aggregated
noise footprints such as N70 (numbers of events louder than
70 dBA; used in Australia) or Leq contours.
- That the public is more interested in site specific infor-
mation that is easy to interpret in relation to their own per-
sonal exposure, rather than more complex images that may
provide a comprehensive overview of the whole noise envi-
ronment around an airport, as conventionally used by plan-
ners and decision -makers.

Small Sample Size
The study stressed that its findings are based on a very
small sample size. Four focus groups were held and included
a total of 51 members of the general public in high and low
noise exposure areas and six airport authority officials. How-
ever, those numbers were considered adequate for the pur-
poses of the study and for proper focus group functioning.
"Given the small sample size and the exploratory nature
of this research, care must be taken when attaching signifi-
cance to these findings," the study said. Nevertheless, it
added, the results point to the potential value of.
• A more substantive UK study to `test' these preliminary
findings.
• Providing appropriately differentiated information to
different user groups depending on their individual require-
ments.
• More detailed investigation of the supplementary noise
indicators such as those developed in Australia and the novel
location -specific histograms evaluated in the study for the
first time, in terms of their contribution to improved under-
standing of aircraft noise exposure and their potential to aid
in establishing effective dialogue with the communities most
affected by aircraft noise and most cynical about the conven-
tional metrics.
• Contributing to the development of future noise metrics
in such a way as to enhance public acceptance of future avia-
tion development

Due to the current worldwide economic downturn, the
Federal Aviation Administration's 16 -year forecast for 2009-
2025 predicts domestic passenger enplanements to decrease
by 7.8 percent in 2009 and then grow an average of 2.7 per-
cent per year during the remaining 15 -year forecast period.
The FAA's annual aviation forecast released March 31
predicts a return to growth for air travel in the long term, un-
derscoring the need for vital aviation infrastructure and envi-
ronmental improvements contained in the FAA's
comprehensive Next Generation Air Transportation System
plan, the agency said.
"A vibrant, efficient and green aviation system will play a
key role in our nation's economic recovery," said U.S. Secre-
tary of Transportation Ray LaHood. "The Obama Adminis-
tration is committed to essential safety and efficiency
advancements that will meet our continued air travel de-
mands."
While last year the FAA predicted the U.S. airlines would
reach a billion passengers a year by 2016, the new forecast
projects U.S. airlines to reach one billion air travelers annu-
ally by 2021. The number of passengers on U.S. airlines do-
mestically and internationally is forecast to increase from
757.4 million in 2008 to 1.1 billion in 2025.
U.S. aircraft operations are predicted to experience a 5.7
percent decrease in 2009 from 2008 levels. Beginning in
2010, the agency expects operations to grow at an average
annual rate of 1.5 percent for the remainder of the forecast
period.
FAA said that the Next Generation Air Transportation
System (NextGen) "is a key to transformation of the ground-
based air traffic control radar system of today to a satellite -
based system of the future and necessary for FAA to meet the
safety, efficiency and environmental needs of the future."
The agency estimates that the cost of delays currently av-
erages approximately $9.4 billion each year. Environmen-
tally -friendly NextGen technologies and procedures will
increase capacity and safety and reduce fuel burn, carbon
emissions, and noise, FAA said.
A fact sheet about NextGen can be found at:
http://www.faa.gov/news/f"act—sheets/newsitory.cfin?newsId
=8768
FAA's forecast was unveiled at an annual forecast confer-
ence in Washington that gathers members of the aviation
community to discuss how the forecast projections may af-
fect policies and plans for aviation. Additional details on the
forecast, including information on general aviation, cargo de-
mand, landing and takeoff operations at airports and FAA fa-
cilities, can be found at the forecast website at:

casts/2009-2025/.

Boston Logan Intl
A Massachusetts Land Court judge has ruled that a prop-
erty owner was not bound by land use restrictions barring
residential development on two parcels in East Boston near
Boston Logan International Airport because the 30 -year time
limit on the use restrictions has expired.
The Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport) had im-
posed the use restrictions on the parcels to prevent future
claims, including noise claims, from airport operations.
Massport argued that the restrictions were part of a "deed
of the Commonwealth" and were unposed for conservation
purposes and were therefore exempt from the 30 -year time
limit.
However, Judge Keith C. Long dismissed that argument,
calling it interesting but not convincing.
Massport argued that it had acted as an "arm of the state"
in imposing the land use restrictions. But the judge disagreed.
He granted summary judgment for the landowner in the
case, Massachusetts Port Authority v Basile.

Guidebook on Community Response
A Guidebook on Community Response to Aircraft Noise, which was
developed under the Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP), is
expected to be released in July.
The report was discussed at the recent UC Davis Symposium on Avia-
tion Noise & Air Quality in early March (21 ANR 29).
Mike Salamone, ACRP program manager at the Transportation Re-
search Board, said his best guess is that the report will be available online
at TRB in July.
Correction
On p. 36 of the March 27 issue of ANR, it was stated that the FAA's
Noise Integrated Routing System (NIRS) requires a 5 dB DNL increase in
noise levels in order to find a significant increase in noise impact. That is
incorrect. The 5 dB increase serves only as a trigger for the FAA to con-
sider if additional environmental analysis is required.
