Meeting Agenda






9:00 PM Adjourn


Noise Exposure Map What Is It?

• FAR Part 150 Documentation• Describes Airport Layout and Operation• Details Aircraft-Related Noise Exposure• Discusses Land Uses in Airport Environs• Presents Resulting Noise/Land Use Compatibility

• Aircraft-Related Noise Exposure for Two Years• Years 2002 and 2007• Graphic Depiction of Noise Exposure and Land Uses

• Documentation of Data Collection and Analysis

• Public Involvement in Process


Noise Exposure Map Noise Measurements

• Not FAA Requirement

• Objectives• Measure Cumulative Noise Exposure for Comparison

to Noise Contours• Sample Aircraft Single-Event Noise Levels in

Community• Address Community Concerns Regarding Aircraft

Noise Exposure

• Measured at Nine Sites • Three Sites for 24 Hours +• Six Sites Focused on Single-Event Levels


Noise Exposure Map Noise Modeling

• Develop CNEL Contours for Annual Average Day

• Use FAA Integrated Noise Model (INM) and Following Inputs• Physical Description of Airport Layout• Aircraft Operation Mix and Number• Operations Split into Day-Evening-Night by Aircraft • Aircraft Noise and Performance Characteristics• Runway Utilization Rates• Typical Flight Track Descriptions and Utilization Rates

• Validate Model with Measurements


Noise Exposure Map2002 CNEL Contours


Noise Exposure Map 2007 CNEL Contours


Noise Exposure Map Land Use Analysis

• Determine Incompatible Land Use Areas• County and Municipality Land Use Plans• Land Use Categories• Areas Inside the 65-dB CNEL Contour• Acreage• Population Affected

• Basis for Noise Mitigation Analysis and Noise Compatibility Plan


Noise Exposure Map Public Involvement

• Regularly Scheduled Public Meetings

• Communication with Government Officials

• Comments from Public and Government Officials Used in Development of Documentation


Noise Exposure Map Presented for Review

• Defines Noise Environment and Starting Point for Development of Noise Compatibility Program

•

• NEM Draft Formalized After This Meeting and Submitted to FAA for Approval

• 180-Day FAA Review Period


Meeting Agenda






9:00 PM Adjourn


Noise Mitigation and Abatement Measures

• Start of Noise Compatibility Program Process

• Assess Existing and Potential New Noise Abatement and Mitigation Measures

• FAR Part 150 Requires Considering:• Land Acquisition• Barriers, Shielding, Public Building Soundproofing• Preferential Runway System• Flight Procedures• Restrictions on Type/Class of Aircraft• Other Actions with Beneficial Impact• Other FAA Recommendations



• Reviewed Existing Measures

• Derived Potential New Measures• Unsigned Letter of Agreement Between FAA and RHV

• Three Previous Public Meetings

• RHV Staff

• Consultant Staff



• Screened Potential New Measures and Eliminated Measures that:• Will Not Reduce Noise Exposure

• Are Not an Option Under the Terms of FAR Part 150

• Will Not Likely Obtain FAA Approval

• Are Not Feasible at RHV



• Recommended for Further Analysis• Preferential Runway Use• Quiet One Procedure Revision• Voluntary Flight Operations Limitations

- Departures

– Between 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m.

- Touch-and-Go

– Monday - Friday 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.

– Saturday 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

– Sunday 12:00 p.m. (Noon) to 5:00 p.m.



• Recommended for Further Analysis (Continued)

• New Engine Run-up Area for Twin Engine Aircraft

• Use of Minimum Power Settings on Departure

• Sound Barrier at Western Edge of RHV



• Recommended for Further Analysis (Continued)

• Prohibiting Intersection Departures, Formation Arrivals and Departures, Low-Level Fly-Bys (Except Gear Checks), Simulated Emergencies

• Standard Glide Slope Arrival Procedures

• Aircraft Engine Silencer/Muffler Systems

• Corrective and Preventive Land Use Strategies


Implementation Program

• Potential tools or continuing program measures that may be used to implement, maintain, and monitor the final recommended measures:• Encourage pilots to use AOPA’s “Fly Friendly”

techniques

• Encourage flight training schools to train pilots in the “Fly Friendly” techniques

• Establish an airport/airport user/community noise committee to discuss noise issues on a quarterly basis

• Continually publish the RHV noise complaint line


Implementation Program (cont.)

• Install noise monitors in the RHV environs to measure and compare unusual or high-level aircraft noise events with a voice recorder system

• Install a radar flight track collection system to match aircraft noise events to flight tracks

• Designate a person at RHV to respond to noise complaints, investigate noise exceedances, and notify operators of their noise exceedances



• Establish a sound insulation program to insulate homes inside the 2007 65 dB CNEL contour

• Acquire the mobile home park through land acquisition and provide relocation assistance to displaced residents

• Develop an airport noise impact boundary to:

- Monitor new land use proposals to ensure they are reviewed by the ALUC and that the ALUP is enforced

- Investigate developing real estate disclosures for property purchases



• Update the RHV Part 150 NEM and NCP within five years of FAA approval or sooner if needed

• Update and distribute the pilot handout with the FAA-approved noise abatement measures

• Revise the on-airport noise abatement signs to reflect the FAA-approved noise abatement measures

• Maintain information about RHV’s noise abatement program on the County’s web site
