ITEM 3
MEMORANDUM
TO: MSP Noise Oversight Committee (NOC)
FROM: Chad E. Leqve, Manager —Aviation Noise and Satellite Programs
SUBJECT: REVIEW OF RESIDENTIAL NOISE MITIGATION PROGRAM
IMPLEMENTATION STATUS
DATE: July 1, 2009
At the July 15, 2009 NOC meeting, Mr. John Nelson, MAC Part 150 Program Manager, will
provide a detailed update on the progress of the implementation of the Residential Noise
Mitigation Program as required per the provisions of the Noise Litigation Consent Degree.
ITEM 4
TO: MSP Noise Oversight Committee (NOC)
FROM: Chad E. Leqve, Manager — Aviation Noise and Satellite Programs
SUBJECT: RUNWAYS 17, 12L AND 12R RNAV DEPARTURE PROCEDURES
SUBMITTAL TO FAA
DATE: July 1, 2009
BACKGROUND
One of the items on the 2007 NOC Work Plan was to begin the process of reviewing possible
aircraft procedures at Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport (MSP) that could be pursued in
the future, possibly as part of the Committee's 2008 and 2009 Work Plans, to reduce noise
impacts around MSP. A critical element of this effort is the use of RNAV (Area Navigation).
RNAV is a method of navigation that permits aircraft operation on any desired course within the
coverage of station -referenced navigation signals or within the limits of a self-contained system
capability, or a combination of these. In short, this navigation technology provides the capability
for aircraft to fly a desired track in a manner that is reproducible and allows for more accurate
concentration of aircraft overflights in a desired area. This approach also allows for more
seamless transition to Required Navigation Performance (RNP) operations in the future,
capitalizing on Global Positioning System (GPS) capabilities.
As detailed in the May 11, 2007 edition of the Airport Noise Report former FAA Administrator
Marion C. Blakey characterized RNP and RNAV as green technology, and stated:
"It flat out saves fuel. It relieves congestion, alleviates choke points, and reduces
delay. It increases efficiency by providing smoother traffic flow. It's clear that
performance-based navigation is good for the environment. Flying straight down
the middle of a flight path means that people on the ground perceive less jet noise
and experience fewer jet emissions."
In an effort to begin the process of conceptualizing possible RNAV procedures at MSP, and to
help prepare for more detailed discussions and analysis, MAC staff developed several flight
track options for the Committee's consideration.
Staff outlined two options for initiating the implementation of RNAV technology at MSP to
enhance ongoing departure operation noise reduction efforts. It was determined that the
Runways 12L and 12R Crossing -in -the -Corridor flight tracks represent a great opportunity to
leverage RNAV. Additionally, it was determined that opportunity exists in effectively
concentrating operations over the unpopulated Minnesota River Valley southwest of MSP. In an
effort to analyze the effect of the 215 -degree departure heading that was implemented by the
FAA at the request of the NOC, MAC staff imported flight track data into the Integrated Noise
Model (INM). Based on the wide swath of actual 215 -degree heading flight tracks staff used INM
to develop a single flight track which is the precise center of the actual 215 -degree heading
tracks.

RUNWAYS 12L AND 12R RNAV DEPARTURE PROCEDURES
Eagan/Mendota Heights Departure Corridor Background
Conception of the Eagan/Mendota Heights Departure Corridor began in 1968. Since that time
several refinements have been investigated and implemented. Although the corridor has
evolved somewhat through the years, the original catalyst remains the same — concentrating on
directing aircraft overflights above compatible land use (commercial/industrial) areas to the
southeast of the airport. By concentrating the aircraft overflights above the commercial/industrial
areas when departing Runways 12L and 12R, the frequency of residential overflights is
diminished significantly, resulting in lower noise impacts in the residential areas to the southeast
of the airport.
Several corridor refinement issues have been visited over the years, some of which yielded
modifications to corridor procedures. In 1995 a proposal was submitted to the FAA requesting
the implementation of the "crossing -in -the -corridor -procedure" The proposal was driven by the
desire to contain operations as much as possible in the center of the corridor when aircraft are
departing in a non -simultaneous manner from Runways 12L or 12R. The proposal outlined
desired tracks along the ground, which would maintain operations within the center of the
corridor. Under the mentioned non -simultaneous conditions 'When operationally feasible" for the
FAA, aircraft departing Runway 12L should maintain a track along the earth's surface of 1180
(runway heading) and aircraft departing Runway 12R should maintain a track along the earth's
surface of 1050. By maintaining these tracks aircraft operations are concentrated in the center of
the corridor. Although the proposal seems intuitive and straightforward, several critical variables
relating to the airspace environment must be considered to conduct the crossing procedure.
The execution of the crossing procedure is a function of several determinates, most of which are
hard to quantify due to their dynamic nature. The FAA has several variables to consider when
attempting to use the crossing procedure. The term "when operationally feasible" is heavily
weighted when it comes to the ability of the FAA to execute the procedure. Six main categories
play into the ability to perform the procedure: runway use, aircraft performance, weather,
separation criteria, pilot discretion and FAA staffing. The crossing procedure is presently
performed at low -demand time periods at Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport (MSP) via
radar vectors by the FAA control tower at MSP.
Crossing in the -Corridor RNAV Departure Procedure Implementation
Based on staffs analysis in 2008/2009 and the Committee's related discussion, RNAV
procedure implementation in the context of the Crossing -in -the -Corridor Procedure represented
one of the best initial RNAV application scenarios around MSP for consideration.
MAC staff has reviewed the concept of developing RNAV procedures off both Runways 12L and
12R at MSP, for use during low -demand hours at MSP (primarily the nighttime hours of 22:30 to
06:00) when available, with the FAA and Northwest Airlines. These procedures would provide a
precise track off each runway, overlying the existing vectored departure tracks, consistent with
the provisions of the Crossing—in—the—Corridor Procedure. The result has been the
development of RNAV departure procedures that provide initial segments off both Runways 12L
and 12R that replicate the Crossing—in—the—Corridor tracks off the respective runways, with
follow-on flight track segments located along the center of the existing flight track distribution
that results from the FAA's present practice of vectoring aircraft on the existing COULT One and
ZMBRO One Departures off Runways 12L and 12R at MSP.'
Attachment 1 provides the proposed RNAV tracks with existing flight tracks departing Runways
12L and 12R and Attachment 2 provides only the proposed RNAV tracks on a map.
Because of the limited operational availability of this procedure, it is anticipated that
approximately 0 to 2 operations a day would use the procedure off each Runway 12L and 12R.
Given the less complex nature of the Runways 12L and 12R RNAV procedures, and the
favorable flight test conducted in Delta/Northwest Airlines flight simulators, it has been
determined that trials are not needed for these procedures; the paperwork is ready to be
compiled and submitted to the FAA for review and approval of the procedures for public use.
RUNWAY 17 RNAV RIVER DEPARTURE PROCEDURE
Runway 17 295 -Degree Denarture Heading Background
Shortly after the opening of Runway 17/35 at MSP in October 2005 concerns arose regarding
the FAA's use of the 190 -degree departure heading over northeast Burnsville. The MAC, in
consultation with the MSP NOC, requested that the FAA implement a 215 -degree heading down
the unpopulated Minnesota River Valley.
In early 2007 the FAA implemented the 215 -degree departure heading. This centered the
westbound flight track distribution over the Minnesota River Valley. However, due to variables
affecting the location of aircraft ground tracks, a number of flights still overflew residential areas
north and south of the Minnesota River Valley. The following graphic provides a sample of 190 -
degree and 215 -degree departure flight tracks at MSP.
1 COULT and ZMBRO are airspace fixes that.are presently used for en -route navigation.
The cities of Burnsville and Bloomington expressed an interest in further concentrating
operations over the Minnesota River Valley through the use of available aircraft navigation
technologies.
Runway 17 RNAV River Departure Procedure Implementation
On December 9, 2008 an RNAV procedure kick-off meeting was held at the Air Traffic Control
Tower at Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport (MSP). The meeting was conducted to
discuss and finalize the procedures and expectations for the RNAV departure procedure trials
off of Runway 17. Representatives from the MAC, FAA procedures, ATCT, TRACON, Northwest
Airlines, Mesaba Airlines and Pinnacle Airlines were in attendance.
Given the complex nature of the Runway 17 RNAV procedure it was determined that a trial was
warranted. The trial process was planned to be conducted in the following manner:
• An initial 4 -hour test period in good weather conditions would be conducted to validate
the procedure design and identify any ATC or flight crew procedure anomalies. After
this test, the procedures would be reviewed by the participants and any required
corrective actions or adjustments would be made.
• A second trial period of 24 -hours would then be conducted in all weather conditions.
The procedures would be reviewed again.
• If the 24-hour trial was successful, a third trial period of 30 days would be conducted.
• If the 30 -day trial was successful, the data would be evaluated and presented to the
NOC and the MAC for consideration of submission to the FAA for approval as a public
use procedure.
On February 24, 2009 a 4 -hour trial of the Runway 17 RNAV River Departure Procedure was
conducted at Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport (MSP) from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
Northwest Airline B757 and A319/320 and Pinnacle Airlines CRJ aircraft participated in the trial.
A total of 18 aircraft flew the procedure with no issues .2 A good flight track data sample was
gathered from the test.
From April 15, 2009 at 7:00 A.M. until April 16, 2009 at 7:00 A.M. a 24-hour trial of the Runway
17 RNAV River Departure Procedure was conducted. Northwest Airlines B757 and A319/320
and Pinnacle Airlines CRJ aircraft participated in the trial.
A total of 32 aircraft flew the procedure with no major issues. A good flight track data sample
was gathered from the test. Staff analyzed the flight track data received from the FAA and
determined that the trial yielded great compliance with the desired flight path over the Minnesota
River Valley. With the exception of four operations, which deviated from the desired path due to
pilot confusion and FAA radar vectors off the procedure to ensure adequate spacing, the
average actual flight track deviation from the center of the desired path was approximately 150
feet.
The following graphic depicts the RNAV track data that has been gathered as part of the 4- and
24-hour trials (green tracks) along with a sample of 215 -degree departure heading flight tracks
(blue tracks). As is depicted below, the Runway 17 RNAV River Departure Procedure provides

procedure design or system programming onboard the aircraft.
greater flight track concentration and reproducibility of overflight of the Minnesota River Valley
as compared to the vectored 215 -degree departure heading flight tracks.
On June 8, 2009 at 6:00 A.M. the 30 -day trial was started at MSP. The 30 -day trial will end on
July 7, 2009 at 6:00 A.M. To -date the results of the 30 -day trial are consistent with the results
associated with the 4- and 24-hour trials. As such, consideration should be given to submittal of
the procedure to the FAA for review and approval as a public use procedure.
At the July 15, 2009 NOC meeting staff will present a spatial analysis of the flight track data
collected from the 30 -day RNAV trial at MSP.

MEMORANDUM
TO: MSP Noise Oversight Committee (NOC)
FROM: Chad E. Leqve, Manager — Aviation Noise and Satellite Programs
SUBJECT: UPDATE ON MULTILATERATION FLIGHT TRACKING SYSTEM
INSTALLATION AND MAC NOISE AND OPERATIONS MONITORING
SYSTEM (MACNOMS) DEVELOPMENT
DATE: July 1, 2009
Background
In 1992, the Aviation Noise and Satellite Programs Office installed one of the most sophisticated
and comprehensive Airport Noise and Operations Monitoring System (ANOMS) installations of
its kind in the United States. At an initial cost of approximately $1 million, ANOMS became the
central element of an evolving noise and airspace analysis program that has been used
extensively by MAC staff to aid 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 ANOMS is the flight track data acquisition system. Currently, the
ASR -9 radar located at MSP provides the aircraft position and aircraft -specific information for
each flight track. This information is essential in noise program management and is used for
airspace analysis, community reporting, data requests, developing environmental planning
documentation (e.g. Environmental Assessments, Part 150, etc.), Airport Long -Term
Comprehensive Planning, identifying possible trends or irregularities that need to 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 radar
system, which required the MAC to upgrade the method used to acquire radar flight tracks. The
MAC is completely dependent on the ASR -9 radar and FAA Air Traffic Control (ATC) personnel
for flight track and aircraft -specific information. Several variables exist that are outside of the
MAC's control that limit the amount of flight track data received. Several restrictions and
conditions are also placed on the data's use via a Letter of Agreement with the FAA that limits
the MAC's reporting and analysis capabilities. Staff conducted a comprehensive analysis of the
ANOMS radar flight track and aircraft -specific information acquired from the ASR -9 radar, and
found that over an 82 -hour period, approximately 4.1 % of the flight track data were not received
due to data unavailability from the FAA ATC.
Effective flight track data collection within the MAC Noise Program 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, et al., and the MAC), for maintaining a flight
tracking and noise monitoring system and to develop annual 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 FAA's 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 a functionally equivalent flight tracking
and noise monitoring system ("Monitoring System")."
As a result, it was determined that an upgrade investment in the flight track and noise
monitoring system at MSP was necessary. The proposed upgrade to this system 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 2008 MAC Capital Improvement Program included $500,000 to upgrade the Airport Noise
and Operations Monitoring Systems (ANOMS) technology at MSP. The upgraded system will
consist of three main components: new analysis system software; upgraded analysis system
hardware; and a multilateration 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
multilateration flight track data acquisition architecture is the best option for addressing flight
track data needs in the Noise Office well into the future at MSP. A multilateration3 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 a high degree of confidence, more accurate data,
greater update rates, better coverage and improved reliability to the noise and operations
monitoring system.
Additionally, multilateration technology is completely expandable and can be configured to add
radar flight track coverage to the outlying reliever airports in the future, thus improving flight
tracking, operations reporting and analysis at those airports. This is significant due to the fact
that communities around the reliever airports rely heavily on the limited flight track data and the
reporting capabilities that are presently provided by the existing system at MSP.
The components of a multilateration flight track data acquisition system include the installation
of remote sensors that will provide precise, 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.
Multilateration System Installation
Throughout the second half of 2008 and early 2009 MAC noise program staff was engaged in
extensive contract negotiations with the ERA Corporation for the installation of a Multilaternation
Flight Tracking System at MSP. Due to the acquisition of ERA Corporation by SRA Corporation
the contract negotiation and finalization process was complicated .and prolonged. Additionally,
MAC staff has been in the process of negotiating leases with various government and private
communication tower owners to locate multilateration sensors on eight communication towers in
the metropolitan area.
3 Multilateration is the process of locating an aircraft based on the Time Difference of Arrival (rDOA) of a signal emitted from
that aircraft to three or more sensors. When a signal is transmitted from the aircraft, it will be received by two spatially
separate sensors at different times. The time difference is then used to calculate the aircraft's position. By using three or j
more sensors, a precise position can be obtained. l
OnJune 1'2009 the multilaterationsensor installation process began and byJune 5, 2009 the
installations were complete on all eight communication boxvora. /\Umchnnont 1 provides the twvvar
locations mfthe eight sensors around the metro area.
By the end of July 2009 the nnu|ti|eteration system will be fully commissioned, providing flight
track data with a one -day delay on the mao x»iom.ummnvvehode. MAC staff is in the process of
working with Herhe' N1iUer, Miller and Hanson (HK8K8H) on the development ofa real-time flight
tracking application for the maonoiae.cVm website. The real-time flight tracker will provide the
ability to view an animated aircraft operations map with only o 10 -minute delay in the flight track
data feed. It is anticipated that this application will be available on the rnacnmiae.dmnnwebsite
some time early fourth quarter 2OO9.

MEMORANDUM
TO: MSP Noise Oversight Committee (NOC)
FROM: Chad E. Leqve, Manager — Aviation Noise and Satellite Programs
SUBJECT: FAA PARTNER NOISE QUEST WEBSITE PROJECT INPUT
DATE: July 1, 2009
As explained at the May 20, 2009 NOC meeting, one of the items included on the 2009 NOC
Work Plan is to review the status of FAA Center of Excellence/PARTNER initiatives. PARTNER
Project #10 — NoiseQuest recently reached a major milestone with the debut of the Noise Quest
website in March 2009 at hftp://www.noisequest.psu.edu/.
As stated on the PARTNER website, NoiseQuest's goal is to develop and maintain a website as
a resource for both airports and communities, and that provides educational information on
aviation noise. NoiseQuest is intended to facilitate the outreach programs that currently exist,
and provide an outreach forum for airports too small to have an established community
program. It is the FAA's hope that NoiseQuest will help to bridge the gap between airports and
their communities.
The information on this site is based on current airport noise -related:
Government documents
• News articles
• Research journals
• Aviation practices
At the May 20, 2009 NOC meeting staff provided a live demonstration of the NoiseQuest
website. At the meeting it was decided that Committee members should take some time and
visit the site and come back to the July 15, 2009 meeting with any suggestions that might be
forwarded by the Committee to PARTNER as recommended improvements to the site.
At the July 15, 2009 NOC meeting MAC staff will again review the site contents with the
Committee, and suggestions that might be forwarded by the Committee to PARTNER as
recommended improvements to the site will be discussed.

ICAO
EXPERTS URGE CAEP TO EXPAND ANALYSIS
OF AIRCRAFT NOISE TO FOCUS ON EFFECTS
Aircraft noise analysis should be expanded beyond quantifying the number of
people exposed to various levels of noise to focus on the health effects and other
effects of aircraft noise exposure, a panel of aircraft noise experts recommended to
the International Civil Aviation Organization's Committee on Aviation Environ-
mental Protection (ICAO/CAEP).
The expert panel recommended that the following noise effects should be in-
cluded in assessments of aircraft noise and in making decisions about when noise
impacts occur: community annoyance, sleep disturbance, hypertension, cognitive
performance, speech interference, sleep structure, and coronary heart disease.
"A sufficient level of knowledge exists to develop and promote exposure -re-
sponse relationships relating community response to aircraft noise, particularly for
community annoyance, sleep disturbance, hypertension, cognitive performance,
and speech interference," the panel said.
It concluded that there is still not a sufficient level of knowledge to develop ex-
posure -response curves relating community response to aircraft noise to sleep

Litigation
PLAINTIFFS ASK APPEALS COURT TO REHEAR
LAWSUIT OVER NY/NJ/PHL AIRSPACE REDESIGN
Plaintiffs who lost their legal challenge of the Federal Aviation Administration's
redesign of the airspace in the New York/New Jersey/Philadelphia area are now
seeking a rehearing of their case before the full U.S. Court of Appeals for the Dis-
trict of Columbia Circuit.
One June 10, a three-judge panel of the Court upheld the FAA's controversial
airspace redesign concluding that the environmental impact statement on the proj-
ect was "procedurally sound and substantively reasonable" (21 ANR 66).
The rehearing is being sought by most of the 12 plaintiffs who filed the chal-
lenge. Three separate petitions have been filed seeking the rehearing. The State of
Connecticut, Rockland County; NY, and attorneys for the Rockefeller State Park
Preserve in New York State filed a petition focusing on issues relating to state parks
and historic sites. Their petition asserts that the three-judge panels' ruling failed to
consider previous Supreme Court actions, FAA regulations, and misinterpreted
statutory public participation requirements.
Another petition for rehearing, filed by a Pennsylvania group including
Delaware County, PA, focuses on air quality issues, contending that the three-judge
panel's ruling conflicts with prior High Court rulings, fails to follow congressional
intent, and misinterprets the record in the case. (Continued on p. 89)

structure or coronary heart disease, although a 2008 European
study may provide evidence regarding heart disease.
However, the panel concluded that, because air traffic has
evolved from fewer operations with louder aircraft to more
frequent operation with quieter aircraft, "an update to expo-
sure -response curves may be needed to better reflect current
and projected air traffic operations."
The panel's recommendations were developed at a work-
shop sponsored by CAEP in late 2007 to discuss the environ-
mental impacts of aviation. The final report of that workshop
was just released. It is entitled "Assessing Current Scientific
Knowledge, Uncertainties, and Gaps in Quantifying Climate
Change, Noise and Air Quality Aviation Impacts."
The report is available on the PARTNER website at:
http://web.mit/edu/aeroastro/partner/reports/caepimpactre-
port.pdf.
The workshop participants — who were experts in aircraft
noise, air quality, or climate change — were asked to:
• Review the current state of knowledge of aviation envi-
ronmental impacts and best practice approaches for assessing
these impacts;
• Examine key issues, gaps, and underlying uncertainties
in the comprehensive evaluation of aviation environmental
impact, and;
• Advise ICAO/CAEP on how existing knowledge and
best practice approaches may be used to inform policy deci-
sions and to suggest near tern steps that can be take to im-
prove the knowledge and approaches.
The experts were asked to address the following question:
Given the current ICAO/CAEP practices, and given what is
available and ready (or nearly ready) to use in the world,
what are the best next steps for ICAO/CAEP to take with
modeling and analysis of aviation environment impacts?
The noise panel was comprised of 26 experts from the
United States, Germany, Australia, the United Kingdom,
France, Japan, The Netherlands, Canada, and Norway.
Use of Supplemental Metrics Recommended
The panel recommended that the DNL (Day -Night Aver-
age Noise Level) metric and a similar LDEN metric used in
Europe "continue to be uses but that informative supplemen-
tal metrics be defined and made available for states' use, as
deemed appropriate."
The noise panel also recommended the use of noise expo-
sure values lower than the traditional 65 dB DNL (or equiva-
lent) threshold used by many national and federal aviation
agencies for identifying noise effects. The panel urged CAEP
to suggest to states that levels of DNL or LDEN less than 65
dB be used when producing noise maps and managing/miti-
gating community annoyance.
Cost-effectiveness analyses and cost -benefit analyses are
potentially valuable tools for use in assessing the effect of air-
craft noise, the expert noise panel concluded. However, the
Noise Panel discussions noted that primary emphasis for air-
{
88
craft noise impact assessment should focus on expanding ex-
posure analyses.
"Noise panelists generally felt that economical assess-
ment of noise impacts is challenging," the report noted.
"Economists presented the state -of -the -practice in noise im-
pact valuation, based on housing value loss or contingent val-
uation surveys. But many among the Noise Panel expressed
their concern that such economic impact models fail to cap-
ture the full extent of noise effects, such as the value of car-
diovascular effects and the effects of sleep disturbance on
worker productivity and worker accidents."
Some panelists noted that DALY (disability -adjusted life
years) and QALY (quality adjusted life years) analyses,
which are very well developed for air quality impacts, were
also applicable to noise and had been used to compare noise
and air quality impacts in airport analyses.
However, other panelists felt that these methodologies
were not yet widely agreed upon for noise impacts. Ulti-
mately, panelists noted that most of them did not have eco-
nomic expertise and that CAEP should seek further advice.
Interdependencies
CAEP has adopted three environmental goals for aviation:
reducing aircraft noise, air quality emissions, and global cli-
mate impacts. In the past, these goals were pursued independ-
ently. However, in the future CAEP will have to consider
priorities among them and to analyze how actions taken to re-
duce one impact could increase another. Engine technologies
designed to reduce aviation emissions, for instance, cause in-
creased noise impact.
The report notes that there was a strong consensus at the
ICAO workshop that cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) was
not appropriate for assessing interdependencies between
noise, air quality, and climate impacts. But the workshop
agreed that cost -benefit analysis (CBA) could "in principle
enable such comparisons"
CEA is expressed in terms of a ratio where the denomina-
tor is a gain in health from a measure (years of life, premature
births averted, sight -years gained) and the numerator is the
cost of the health gain. The most commonly used outcome
measure is quality -adjusted life years (QALY).
A hallmark of CBA is that all benefits and all costs are
expressed in money terms.
"Ultimately it is clear that there is not one simple, single
answer,"' to the question of how to address interdependencies
among noise, emissions, and climate change, the report
states. "Multiple metrics are important (e.g. health outcomes,
quality of life, to some degree monetization) to address inter-
dependencies. How questions are posed and different ap-
proaches to assessments may produce different rank orders
but multiple metrics inform the decision process. No single or
multiple process or metric an replace the decision maker; ad-
ditional data will just serve to inform policy decisions more
fully."
Airport Noise Report
July 31, 2009 89
Noise Impact Is Growing
"The transition period from louder jets to the quieter
(high bypass engine) jets led to significant reduction in expo-
sures around most airports that served commercial jet traffic,"
the expert noise panel noted in its report to CAP. "However,"
it added, "continued increases in passenger numbers and in
jet operations means that, rather than diminishing, noise ex-
posure has begun to increase."
The most recent analysis by ICAO/CAEP in 2007 shows
that the global population exposed to above DNL 65 dB will
increase by 78 percent from 2005 to 2025. "It is therefore rea-
sonable to conclude that exposure to aircraft noise is a large
and still growing problem in many areas of the world," the
expert noise panel concluded.
FAA agreed with the panel's assessment in a July 14 press
release. "Although the impact of [aircraft] noise is at a mini-
mum, the FAA predicts that it will start to increase again soon
and continue climbing," the agency said. Future noise reduc-
tions "will depend largely on advances being developed
through the Next Generation Air Transportation System
(NextGen)."
"Unless flight operations can be made even more quiet
than they are now, noise exposure will increase," FAA said.
"Tbat's why the Noise Division continues to investigate ways
to keep aviation quiet, notably through the CLEEN (Continu-
ous Lower Energy Emissions and Noise) program which pro-
vides incentives for manufacturers to develop lower -noise
aircraft."
"NextGen initiatives being fielded now offer additional
gains. New Optimum Profile Descents (OPDs) enable pilots
to reduce power, nearly to a glide, as they land their aircraft.
This eliminates the noise from throttling the engines during
step-down approaches near the airport. Additionally, Re-
quired Navigation Performance allows pilots flying OPDs to
maneuver in areas around the airports to avoid congested
housing areas on the ground."
Litigation, from p. 87.
The third petition for rehearing was filed by the New Jer-
sey Coalition Against Aircraft Noise (NJCAAN), the City of
Elizabeth, NY, the Union County Freeholders, Bergen
County Freeholders, and a group of towns in the Pascack Val-
ley in northern New Jersey.
Their petition cites the failure of the FAA to project
growth beyond 2011 as is required by FAA rules, failure to
commit to midnight ocean routing despite using this as the
basis for final noise results, inadequate treatment of environ-
mental justice issues, failure to conduct background noise
monitoring in Elizabeth despite acknowledging the need for
assessing cumulative noise impacts, and failing to follow
through with compliance monitoring for noise mitigations,
despite committing to do this in the Environmental Impact
Study (EIS).
"The FAA has had its head in the clouds on this entire
issue," Connecticut Gov. M. Jodi Rell said. "It has failed to
follow its own rules for setting flight paths. These are not
minor concerns. They are serious quality -of -life issues that
deserve full and fair hearing — something the FAA has been
unwilling to provide."
Said Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal,
"Only the courts can bring the FAA back to earth and hold it
accountable. The FAA must be grounded. We're asking the
full court — all 12 judges — to reconsider and reject the three-
judge panel's ruling wrongly denying our challenge. If the
court rehears this erroneous ruling it can protect against the
environmetnal damage done by this misguided flight path re-
design, and force the FAA to do its job."
Blumenthal said, "If a rehearing is declined, I will seek
review by the U.S. Supreme Court. The FAA has a profound
legal and moral obligation to adequately weigh public impact
and concerns, including significantly increased noise pollu-
tion and consider better alternatives."
In Brief... I
New Centennial Noise Roundtable
A community noise roundtable has been established to
address noise problems at general aviation Centennial Air-
port, located in the high technology corridor 13 miles south
of Denver and one of the busiest small airports in the country.
The new Centennial Airport/Community Noise Round-
table held its inaugural meeting on July 15. The first meeting
of the Roundtable was devoted to establishing procedures
and selecting a chair and vice chair.
The Roundtable consists of 14 voting members com-
prised of 10 representatives of small cities and communities
around the airport and two designees from Arapahoe and
Douglas Counties. The Federal Aviation Administration, air-
port user groups, a Colorado state park representative, and an
airport representative also will participate on the Roundtable
but only with a non-voting status.
Airport staff reviewed noise roundtables at Chicago
O'Hare International Airport, Palomar Airport, Naples Air-
port, and San Francisco International Airport for guidance is
setting up their own forum. In February, a staff member spent
three days observing how the San Francisco International
Airport/Community Roundtable operates on a day-to-day
basis.
In related news, the airport was awarded a $1.5 million
federal Airport Improvement Program (AIP) grant to pur-
chase a new airport noise monitoring system.
Mesa Hires Kaplan Kirsch
The City of Mesa, AZ, recently hired the Denver-based
law firm Kaplan Kirsch & Rockwell to advise the city and a
citizens' task force on options for dealing with an escalating
noise problem at Mesa Falcon Field caused predominantly by
an airline flight training school.
The city wants advice on how to address what Mayor

Scott Smith has called "a variety of competing and conflicting interests"
in charting a course for the airport's future.
The law firm will help the city determine what it can do legally to ad-
dress noise issues within Federal Aviation Administration guidelines.
Meanwhile, a 225 -member association of businesses and pilots at the
airport wants the city to conduct a Part 150 airport noise compatibility
study and the situation has caught the eye of the Aircraft Owners and Pi-
lots Association.
Over the years, the airfield has grown into the fourth busiest general
aviation airport in the country.
FAA Forum on Annoyance, Sleep Disturbance
At the request of its Research, Engineering and Development Ad-
visory Committee (REDAC), the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration
has invited the U.S. and international community of researchers, practi-
tioners, and interested parties to participate in an international fonnn to
discuss research needed to advance the current understanding of the rela-
tionship between aircraft noise and its impacts such as community annoy-
ance and sleep disturbance.
This forum will be held in Ottawa, Canada, on August 27th, 2009,
immediately following the InterNoise 2009 conference, at the Westin Ot-
tawa Hotel.
The objectives of this foram include:
• Providing background on FAA's research needs;
• Describing relevant ongoing or planned research and highlighting
opportunities for collaboration in the areas of community annoyance and
sleep disturbance;
• Discussing key research questions;
• Discussing ways to overcome the research challenges;
• Identifying research that can be conducted in the near term;
• Identifying currently available data that may be mined for analysis
or re -analysis;
• Outlining elements for a research roadmap.
The forum will provide valuable inputs to a series of workshops FAA
is planning in the United States to develop a comprehensive research
roadmap for FAA and other interested parties to implement more system-
atic, effective, and complementary research programs. FAA wants to
leverage resources towards substantially advancing the scientific knowl-
edge needed by the aviation community to more optimally address the
impacts of aircraft noise on society.

Legislation
SENATE COMMERCE COMMITTEE APPROVES
ONLY TWO-YEAR FAA REAUTHORIZATION BILL
Legislation to reauthorize the programs of the Federal Aviation Administration
— which includes provisions addressing aircraft noise — was introduced in the Sen-
ate on July 14 and was approved by the Senate Commerce Committee on July 21.
The FAAAir Transportation Modernization and Safety Improvement Act (S.
145 1) would provide more than $40 billion in funding for the FAA and would ac-
celerate deadlines for modernizing the air traffic system.
However, the Senate bill would fund the agency for only two years (fiscal 2010
and 2011) while similar legislation passed by the House would fund the FAA for
three years.
The short authorization period of the Senate bill is intended to give the Obama
Administration time to prepare a longer reauthorization that would address ques-
tions avoided in the current Senate bill regarding how to cover the cost to the U.S.
government and the airline industry to convert to the satellite -based Next Genera-
tion Air Transportation System (NextGen). Cost estimates run as high as $50 bil-
lion.

Seattle -Tacoma Intl
ALASKA AIRLINES BEGINS TESTING RNP
TO REDUCE NOISE, EMISSIONS ON APPROACH
Alaska Airlines announced that it has begun testing next -generation flight pro-
cedures at Seattle -Tacoma International Airport that will allow the airline and its
sister carrier, Horizon Air, to reduce their environmental impact during airport ap-
proaches.
Rubbed "Greener Skies," the project is being conducted in cooperation with the
Port of Seattle, The Boeing Company, and the Federal Aviation Administration. It is
focused on using satellite -based flight guidance technology pioneered by Alaska
Airlines to descend more efficiently and reduce aircraft fuel consumption, emis-
sions, and noise in the Puget Sound region.
The airline is seeking FAA approval for the procedures, which could ultimately
be used by all properly equipped carriers at Sea -Tac.
Testing began June 16 on an Alaska Airlines Boeing 737-700 aircraft during a
non-cominercial flight. Using satellite guidance technology called Required Navi-
gation Performance (RNP), the plane flew a consistent and controlled approach to
Sea -Tac with pinpoint accuracy, reducing flight -path length, ground noise and
greenhouse -gas emissions, and saving time and fuel, the airline said.
"The efficient, continuous descent approaches at Sea -Tac enabled by this next-

S. 1451 would set a deadline of 2014 for the top 35 air-
ports to adopt existing Global Positioning System (GPS) nav-
igation technology, including Required Navigation
Performance (RNP) and Area Navigation (RNAV), which are
used to reduce aviation emissions and noise impact. It would
set a deadline of 2018 for the entire National Airspace Sys-
tem to be covered by GPS technology.
In addition, the bill would advance deadlines for equip-
ping aircraft for automatic dependent surveillance -broadcast
(ADS -B), which is the backbone of the NextGen system and
will replace radar.
Under ADS -B OUT, an aircraft periodically broadcasts its
own position without knowing what other vehicles or entities
might be receiving it. A complementary technology is called
ADS -B IN, whereby ADS -B information is received,
processed, and displayed in the cockpit to provide an en-
hanced `see and avoid' surveillance. ADS -B IN also enables a
number of advanced applications that can enhance safety, ca-
pacity and efficiency. Aircraft can be equipped with ADS -B
OUT without having ADS -B IN.
FAA has proposed a 2020 deadline for ADS -B OUT capa-
bility but the Senate bill would advance that deadline, requir-
ing aircraft to have ADS -B OUT capability by 2015 and
ADS -B IN capability by 2018.
Aircraft Noise Provisions
There are several provisions in the Senate bill regarding
aircraft noise:
- Prohibition on Stage 1 and 2 Aircraft: Like the House
bill, the Senate bill would require the phase out of all Stage 1
and 2 aircraft under 75,000 lb. (business jets) within five
years. However, the Senate bill includes an "Opt -Out" provi-
sion that would allow airports that want to continue serving
Stage 1 and 2 business jets to do so;
- Weight restrictions at Teterboro: The bill would pro-
hibit the FAA from "taking actions designed to challenge or
influence weight restrictions or prior permission rules" at
Teterboro Airport, except in an emergency;
- Pilot program for redeveloping airport properties:
The bill would establish a pilot program at up to four public -
use airports that have approved Part 150 airport noise com-
patibility programs under which airport operators may use
grant funds or Passenger Facility Charge (PFC) revenue to
"encourage airport -compatible land uses and generate eco-
nomic benefit to the local airport authority and adjacent com-
munity". The House bill includes a similar provision;
- Airport Cooperative Research Program: Like the
House bill, the Senate bill would provide $15 million for fis-
cal years 2010 and 2011 for the ACRP program, of which at
least $5 million would have to be used for research related to
the airport environment, including aircraft noise, emissions,
and water quality issues;
- Noise, emissions research program: The bill would es-
tablish a Consortium for Aviation Noise, Emissions, and En-
ergy Technology Research, comprised of educational and re-
search institutions or private sector entities to conduct re-
search in coordination with the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration (NASA) and other agencies. The House
bill has similar language directing the FAA to enter into a 10 -
year cooperative agreement to develop, mature, and certify
continuous lower energy, emissions, and noise (CLEEN) en-
gine and airframe technology.
Both the House and Senate bill would requires the re-
search program to accomplish the following objectives by
Sept. 30, 2016:
- Certifiable aircraft technology to reduce noise levels by
32 EPNdB cumulative, relative to Stage 4 standards;
- Certifiable aircraft technology to reduce fuel bum by 33
percent compared to current technology;
- Certifiable engine technology to reduce landing and
takeoff cycle nitrogen oxide emissions by 60 percent, at a
pressure ratio of 30, over International Civil Aviation Organi-
zation (ICAO) standards;
- Determine the feasibility of using alternative fuels in
aircraft systems, including successful demonstration and
quantification of benefits; and
- Determine the extent to which new engine and aircraft
technologies may be used to retrofit or re -engine aircraft.
Differences between the House and Senate versions of
legislation to reauthorize the FAA programs will be worked
out in a House -Senate conference. The current authorization
expires on Sept. 30.
The environmental provisions in both bills are not con-
troversial but there are other areas of disagreement that must
be worked out. For instance, the House bill would raise the
PFC cap from $4.50 to $7, while the Senate bill proposes a
pilot program under which a few airports could remove PFC
caps altogether if they can find an alternative way to collect
them.
Also, the airlines are opposed to a provision in the Senate
bill that would require airlines to deplane passengers if their
aircraft are delayed on the tarmac for more than three hours.
AIP Grants
Seven more airports have been awarded federal Airport
Improvement Program (AIP) grants to support noise mitiga-
tion projects since June 23, according to data released by the
Federal Aviation Administration on July 15.
The latest noise grant awards are in addition to those an-
nounced earlier in the year (21 ANR 75).
The most recent noise grant awards went to the following
airports:
- Centennial Airport, CO, received a $1.5 million grant to
install a noise monitoring system;

AIRPORT TO DEPLOY AIRSCENE,
MULTILATERATION SYSTEMS
Airport District. "Era has a reputation for providing high-
quality flight tracking monitoring and airport operations man-
agement systems, we tested their reputation by flight
checking one of their existing systems and feel strongly that
the benefits that both the airport and community will see
from this system will be tremendous."
Acquired by SRA in July 2008, Era Systems Corporation
provides surveillance technologies for the air traffic manage-
ment, airport operations, military and security markets.
SRA International, Inc. announced that it has been se-
lected by the Truckee Tahoe Airport to deploy an MSS multi-
lateration surveillance system, along with AirScene.com(R)
Aircraft Flight Track Monitoring System software at Truckee
Tahoe Airport.
Both systems were developed by its SRA's subsidiary, Era
Systems Corporation.
The airport, located at North Lake Tahoe, a mountainous
region in northern California, serves a large number of gen-
eral aviation aircraft. While many of the common steps for
noise abatement and mitigation had been completed, the air-
port was limited in its ability to implement more advanced
steps, as it lacked radar coverage and therefore had no flight
tracking.
"Our work will help Truckee Tahoe Airport to fulfill their
mission of providing high-quality aviation facilities for their
users, while simultaneously striving for low impact on their
neighbors," said SRA Vice President of Aviation Systems Bill
Colligan.
"This will be the first time in the U.S. that a multilatera-
tion system, installed for commercial non -air traffic control
purposes, will utilize an active interrogator to stimulate air-
craft transponder responses, and we are very excited to be
working with the FAA to make this a reality. Due to the open
and scalable network architecture of Era's multilateration sys-
tem, airports can now easily obtain accurate flight -tracking
data, updated every second, to feed their airport operations
systems in terrain where radar would have previously been
unfeasible or uneconomical.
"AirScene.com will serve as a tool and information
source for airport staff and decision makers - and will be inte-
gral to providing a common operating picture when commu-
nicating with the community and all other stakeholders," said
Dave Gotschall, general manager and CEO of Truckee Tahoe
Sea -Tac, from p. 83
generation technology will benefit Seattle in several ways,
Alaska Airlines said. It estimates that the RNP procedures
will cut fuel consumption by 2.1 million gallons annually and
reduce carbon emissions by 22,000 metric tons, the equiva-
lent of taking 4,100 cars off the road every year. In addition,
the procedures will reduce overflight noise exposure for an
estimated 750,000 people living within the affected flight
corridor.
"These improved flight procedures at Sea -Tac will help
Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air minimize the environmental
impact of our flying on the communities we serve," said Gary
Beck, Alaska's vice president of flight operations. "With FAA
approval, we hope the procedures will be available to all car-
riers and gradually integrated into the Seattle air traffic sys-
tem. This project could also become a blueprint for expanded
use of next -generation technology at more U.S. airports."
"Typically, commercial aircraft approaches follow a
lengthy approach pattern and series of stair -step descents be-
fore landing. Using RNP technology and a continuous de-
scent, also called an optimized profile descent (OPD), aircraft
can descend from cruise altitude to an airport runway along a
shorter, more direct flight path at low power," Alaska Airlines
explained.
"This effort aligns with the Port of Seattle's commitment
to operate the greenest airport in the nation," said Mark Reis,
managing director of Seattle -Tacoma International Airport.
"With Alaska and Horizon representing nearly half of the
daily operations at Sea -Tac, this program not only benefits
our regional environment but also helps the airlines to operate
more efficiently at Sea -Tac. We are working closely with
Alaska, Boeing and the FAA to ensure these benefits are real-
ized by our community as quickly as possible"
Alaska Airlines said that it pioneered RNP precision
flight -guidance technology during the mid-1990s to help its
planes land at some of the world's most remote and geo-
graphically challenging airports in the state of Alaska. "RNP
provides computer -plotted landing paths with pinpoint accu-
racy by using a combination of onboard navigation technol-
ogy and GPS satellites. It improves safety and reliability in
all weather, and reduces reliance on ground-based navigation
aids," the airline said. Alaska Airlines currently uses FAA -ap-
proved RNP procedures at 23 U.S. airports.

Volume 21. Number 20 July 3, 2009
General Mitchell Int'l
FAAAPPROVES MOST OF PART 150 UPDATE;
REJECTS OPERATIONAL CHANGES PROPOSED
The Federal Aviation Administration announced June 25 that it has approved 10
of the 16 proposed noise mitigation measures in an update to the Part 150 Airport
Noise Compatibility Program for Milwaukee General Mitchell International Air-
port.
However, the agency rejected all four measures that would have required
changes in aircraft operations in order to keep planes over residential areas that
have already been sound insulated.
These measure included:
- Developing a Flight Management System (FMS) departure procedure that
would direct aircraft turning south on takeoff from Runway 25L over a highway
corridor;
• Evaluating altitude of turbo -prop departures to keep them from turning on
course below 500 feet above field elevation;
( 1 • Developing procedures to reduce early turns on approach for turbo -prop air-
craft; and

FAA APPROVES MOST OF PART 150 UPDATE;
REQUIRES MORE STUDY OF FMS DEPARTURES
On June 25, the Federal Aviation Administration announced that it has ap-
proved 16 of the 20 noise mitigation measures proposed in an update to the Part
150 airport noise compatibility program for Detroit Metropolitan Airport.
Approved measure include:
- Move existing ground run-up locations to a more centralized location on the
airport, and designate a new position closer to the center and south end of the air-
port where nearby populations densities are lower for the loudest aircraft, until con-
struction of a ground run-up enclosure is complete. Also, improve description of
where and how each run-up can occur and then provide a means of tracking com-
pliance with these procedures;
- Construct a ground run-up enclosure for use by all aircraft during mainte-
nance operations. Such a facility could achieve 100 percent reduction in the popu-
lations exposed to 70 dBA. The final location will be determined after an FAA
airspace study to ensure the location meets all FAA airport design standards, does
not create a line of site issue, and will not increase the likelihood of a runway in-
cursion;
- Extend hours of contraflow (land from the south and takeoff to the south) at

Gen. Mitchell, from p.79
- Modifying a current departure procedure by increasing
altitude to from 2,000 feet MSL to 2,500 feet for departing jet
aircraft prior to turning.
The FAA said it rejected these procedures because they
would "impact efficient movement of aircraft and manage-
ment of the navigable airspace and therefore not meet Part
150 approval criteria." Also, the procedures affecting turbo-
prop aircraft may no longer be needed because Beech 1900s
no longer operate at the airport, FAA said.
In addition, the FAA disapproved a measure to provide
high speed taxiways to reduce use of reverse thrust on land-
ing. The agency said it rejected this measure for purposes of
the Part 150 program because high speed taxiway exists do
not provide a significant noise reduction.
FAA also disapproved a measure to electrify gates for the
International Arrivals Building and two concourses in the
passenger terminal in order to eliminate the need for auxiliary
power unit (APU) use.
FAA disapproved this measure for purposes of the Part
150 program but encouraged the airport to pursue emissions
reduction through FAA's Voluntary Airport Low Emissions
(VALE) program.
Kim Berry, noise program manager for General Mitchell
International, said the airport intends to go forward with a
VALE program application and the noise staff will be manag-
ing the application process.
Approved Measures
Noise mitigation• measures that were approved by the
FAA include:
- Development of ground-based noise reduction meas-
ures, including three noise barriers, a "low-tech" engine run-
up enclosure, and parking aircraft in the best orientations to
reduce noise in the community. The agency said, however,
that one of the noise barriers would not be eligible for federal
funding because it does not benefit a non -compatible area;
- Voluntary sound insulation of noise -sensitive structures
(single-family homes, multifamily homes, assisted -care facil-
ities, schools, and religious facilities) within the 65 dB DNL
contour. The airport has already sound insulated 1,200 resi-
dential units and is proposing to insulate up to 600 more;
- Voluntary acquisition of non -compatible land or unde-
veloped land zoned for residential use within the 65 dB DNL
contour;
- Voluntary acquisition of avigation easements over non-
compatible land uses for homeowners wishing to remain in
their homes but not to participate in the sound insulation pro-
gram;
- Voluntary sales assistance to provide a means for home-
owners to sell their homes for fair market value on the open
market;
- Upgrade the aircraft flight track/noise monitoring sys-
tem with multilateration to improve ability to monitor flights,
respond to the public in a timely manner, and identify specific
citizen concerns. A key component of the upgrade will be the
ability of the public to view flight tracks via the Internet.
However, FAA stressed that its approval of the upgrade "does
not extend to the use of monitoring equipment for enforce-
ment purposes by in-situ measurement of any preset noise
thresholds and shall not be used for mandatory enforcement
of any voluntary measure";
- Install remote cameras to monitor ground activity, en-
gine run -ups, and use of APUs in remote apron locations.
"The cameras would be placed in locations that are capable of
observing the entire area and could correlate noise events
with run -ups to determine if the run -ups were conducted con-
sistently, as required," FAA explained;
- Review and update of the Part 150 program as needed.

update for General Mitchell International, contact Glen Or-
cutt in FAA's Minneapolis Airports District Office; tel: (612)

night when operationally feasible in order to reduce noise im-
pact on densely populated areas to the north of the airport.
Current contraflow hours are from midnight to 6 a.m. The
FAA approved this measure as voluntary and said it could
start no earlier than 11:30 p.m. for purposes of the Part 150
program;
- Implement Continuous Descent Approach, when practi-
cable. The recommendation is for the airport authority to
work with the FAA and the airlines to develop, implement,
and use CDA type approaches during periods of lower flight
activity. FAA approved this measure for additional study. The
agency said that additional analysis and communication be-
tween the airport operator, FAA's Air Traffic Organization,
and the local ATC Tower are required. "Analysis and commu-
nication will consider the feasibility, aviation safety and effi-
ciency aspects of the proposal, its potential environmental
impacts, and demonstrate whether the measure would provide
an overall noise benefit," FAA said. The airport said the CDA
could result in a 3 to 6 dB reduction in single event noise
under the flight path;
- Develop noise abatement procedures for use during run-
way maintenance operations and develop a community out-
reach program to raise awareness of temporary changes in
noise exposure occurring because of maintenance activities;
- Voluntary acquisition of three homes in the 70 DNL
contour;
- Require buyer notification within the 60 DNL contour.
This would require local jurisdictions to adopt and implement
requirements that a notice be placed on residential subdivi-
sion plats or deeds for individual lots noting that the home
may be subject to aircraft noise intrusion. This notice would
be recorded on the deed and identified in a title opinion or
title insurance report. FAA approved this as a local measure,
explaining that the agency encourages local efforts to prevent

new non -compatible development immediately abutting the
65 DNL contour and to provide a buffer for possible growth
in noise contours;
- Work with communities to update comprehensive plans
to discourage noise sensitive uses within the 65 DNL. The
airport is concerned about vacant property within the 65 DNL
contour;
- Work with communities to update zoning ordinances to
prohibit noise sensitive uses within the 65 DNL;
- Work with communities to update building codes to re-
quire sound attenuation of new residences within the 65
DNL;
- Install an aircraft flight tracking/noise monitoring sys-
tem. The airport currently has none. A key component of the
system will be the ability for the public to access flight tracks
on the Internet;
- Establish a follow-up Noise Advisory Committee to uti-
lize knowledge gained through the Part 150 study to help
build the partnerships needed to implement to program meas-
ures.
No Action on Flight Procedures
FAA said that no action was required at this time in terms
of its approval or• disapproval of Flight Management System
(FMS) departure procedures intended to locate some flight
paths over predominantly compatible land uses and spread
the rest of the paths that fly over non -compatible land uses
and to concentrate departures while in south flow.
FAA said that additional analysis and communication be-
tween the airport, FAA Air Traffic Organization, and the local
ATC Tower is required. If implemented, these measures will
be done on a voluntary basis and "for purposes of Part 150,
subject to wind, weather, efficiency, and safety," FAA said.
Measures Not Approved
FAA disapproved two proposed Part 150 program meas-
ures (studying the feasibility of a runway extension and dis-
placed runway thresholds) that were originally supported in
the Airport Master Plan but later removed from it in an up-
date. The airports Master Plan no longer supports these meas-
ures, FAA said.
The FAA also disapproved a proposal to sound insulate
residential units within the 60 DNL contour if federal funds
become available. FAA said the airport would first need to
develop a current 60 DNL noise exposure map and the local
communities would need to adopt the 60 DNL as their noise
standard for non -compatible uses. After that has occurred, the
airport may submit a revised study to the FAA for determina-
tion of whether it meets the requirements of the Part 150 pro-
gram, FAA said.

program, contact Ernest Gubry in FAA's Detroit Airports Dis-
trict Office; tel: (734) 229-2905.
Los Angeles World Airports
LAWAACTIVATES WEBTRAK
AT LAX, ONTARIO, VAN NUYS
On July 1, Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) launched
its new public Internet Flight Tracking System at Los Angeles
International, LA/Ontario, and Van Nuys airports.
The Internet -based program is located on the three air-
ports' Noise Management pages at www.lawa.org. (Go to
"Quick Links" on the left side of the page and then click on
"Noise Management" on the drop-down menu.)
The new Lochard WebTrak system replaces the flight
tracking system LAWA has used since 2002, and will also
serve as the online noise complaint entry system for each air-
port.
WebTrak allows the public to view movement of flights
and air traffic within the greater Los Angeles region, and al-
lows them to obtain information on the flight identification,
aircraft type, altitude, and origin/destination airports of any
aircraft flying over their neighborhoods. Real time data in the
live mode is delayed 30 minutes for aviation security and sys-
tem processing reasons. Historical data is viewed in the Re-
play mode and is available up to 90 days in the past.
WebTrak's integrated noise complaint feature will allow
residents disturbed by airport noise to view aircraft flight
tracks, select an operation that may be the cause, and submit
a complaint with the operation information automatically
filled in. It will also allow users to go directly to the noise
complaint form if they prefer.
LAWA Environmental Services Division Manager Robert
Freeman said, "The new and improved features of our Web -
Trak system provide the public with additional user-friendly
tools to understand how aircraft operate in the airspace, and
the noise from those operations. It demonstrates LAWA's
continuing commitment to provide residents in neighboring
communities with the means to quickly identify and report
aircraft operations that cause them concern."
WebTrak is just one feature of LAWA s new Airport
Noise and Operations Monitoring System (ANOMS), which
is in the final stages of acceptance. Full ANOMS implemen-
tation will occur soon and will be the culmination of years of
work to design and build a comprehensive aircraft noise mon-
itoring and management system with enhanced measurement,
analysis and reporting tools.
Port Columbus Intl
DROP IN OPERATIONS MEANS
FEWER HOMES TO BE INSULATED

smaller noise contours.
. However, the number of homes that will be purchased or demolished
remains at 35.
The Airport Authority said that it "recognizes that this is a significant
decrease in the number of homes that are eligible [for sound insulation]
and remains committed to minimizing the impact of aircraft noise on the
community surrounding the airport."
The Federal Aviation Administration requested that Landrum &
Brown, the contractor preparing the environmental impact statement on
the runway relocation project, update the noise contours in the EIS to re-
flect the aircraft operations forecast in 2012 from the December 2008
forecast that had been prepared by FAA.
The L&B study forecast 89,000 fewer takeoffs and landings in 2012
compared to the 2008 forecast. That resulted in smaller noise contours.
The airport typically has approximately 200,000 operations per year.
The Columbus Regional Airport Authority said last week that opera-
tions at Port Columbus International has dropped 19.2 percent in the past
year.
The FAA announced in May 2006 that an EIS would be prepared for
the proposed construction of a replacement runway at Port Columbus In-
ternational and for proposed terminal and other development. The re-
placement runway would be 10,113 feet long and would be located 702
feet south of the runway it replaces.
The FAA plans to hold a hearing on July 9 in Columbus to provide an
opportunity for the public to comment on the revised noise contours.
The Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act (ASNA) requires that if
there is a change in operations that could cause a significant increase or
decrease in noise contours, they must be updated. FAA's Part 150 regula-
tions define a significant change as one that would trigger a 1.5 DNL in-
crease or decrease over noise sensitive areas.

Update on Trial Runway 17
RNAV Departure Procedure
NOC members were updated on the
status of the RNAV departure
procedure trials. A four-hour trial of
the RNAV procedure was conducted
on February 24, with a follow-up 24-
hour test spanning from the
morning of April 15 to the morning
of April 16. Eighteen flights
participated during the 4 -hour test
and 32 aircraft operated by
Northwest Airlines and Pinnacle
Airlines participated in the 24-hour
test. Aircraft types that flew the test
procedure included regional jets,
Boeing 757, and Airbus A319/320.
Further Runway 17 RNAV

June 8 and will continue for a 30 -day
period. The NOC will be presented
with the analysis and results during

updated on the proposed
procedures, which will mirror the
Crossing -In -The -Corridor departure
procedure that currently exists. The
anticipated benefit of using RNAV
for this procedure is that there will
be improved ground path

two parallel runways (30L/12R,
30R/12L) in conjunction with the
north/south runway (17/35) for
almost all of the daily operations,
while the crosswind runway (4/22) is
used rarely and typically only for
very large aircraft that need the extra
runway length to depart safely. (The
runway's orientation and the fact
that it intersects three other runways
means operations on the other three
runways come to a halt when
Runway 4/22 is needed.)
