Airport Noise Management Plan Introduction

2 INTRODUCTION

Aircraft noise is often the most significant source of contention between communities and airports worldwide. Long term exposure to high levels of noise from airport operations can cause both adverse health effects and disruption to residents and other noise sensitive activities. Effective management of noise resulting in reduced noise exposure enables airports across the world to continue to operate and grow.

Christchurch Airport (CIAL) must manage noise to reduce adverse effects on the local community, and in turn protect airport operations from reverse sensitivity effects. Christchurch Airport is located close to Christchurch City and operates 24 hrs per day. Consequently, the airport offers significant benefits to businesses and people in the region, including fast and efficient overnight delivery of mail and freight, lower airline fares and frequent trans-Tasman services. However, noise from airport operations, particularly at night, can adversely affect residents and other noise sensitive activities where these are close to the airport.

The extent to which the community is affected by noise is determined by a wide range of factors, including the number of aircraft movements, timing of airport operations, aircraft type, air space management, the proximity of noise sensitive activities, and weather conditions. Aircraft take offs and landings and on-aircraft engine testing are the most significant noise sources at Christchurch Airport. Noise can also occur as a result of other activities including use of Aircraft Auxiliary Power Units, Ground Power Units and other ground support activities such as baggage unloading and re-positioning of aircraft, airfield maintenance and site development activities.

In accordance with the District Plan requirements, this management plan has been prepared by suitably qualified and experienced persons, and in consultation with the Airport Noise Liaison Committee.

Airport Noise Management Plan Statutory Requirements

3 STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS

The Christchurch District Plan contains rules relating to the control of noise emissions from Christchurch Airport. The approach adopted is to set noise limits which the airport cannot exceed. These limits have been determined through assessing the noise effects and with reference to relevant standards and guidelines. Methods of reporting on this are also stipulated.

For operational noise, the noise limits have been determined with reference to NZS 6805; the New Zealand airport noise standard.

For on-aircraft engine testing noise, the noise limits have been set through a specific noise assessment addressing the most appropriate methods to control on-aircraft engine testing noise, referencing on-aircraft engine testing noise control rules around New Zealand.

Rule 6.1.6.2.7.1 in the Christchurch District Plan and associated Appendix 6.11.14 (see appendix 1) requires aircraft operations and on-aircraft engine testing at Christchurch Airport to be managed in accordance with an Airport Noise Management Plan.

In addition to the District Plan requirements, there is also a general duty placed on the airport by section 16 of the Resource Management Act to avoid unreasonable noise.

The Noise Management Plan (NMP) must be reviewed, and updated if required, at least once every two years.

The plan must contain the following information:

• Outline the methods used to demonstrate how aircraft operations and on- aircraft engine testing at the airport will comply with the District Plan noise limits;

• Consider alternative methods of noise management and mitigation to reduce noise effects from aircraft operations and on-aircraft engine testing;

• Engine maintenance ground run procedures for on-aircraft engine testing, to be implemented in conjunction with all aircraft operators and their agents;

• Details of a noise monitoring programme for the noise monitoring and reporting required by the District Plan;

• A complaints procedure for responding transparently and expediently to any complaints about noise from aircraft operations or on-aircraft engine testing;

• A disputes resolution procedure;

• A procedure for presenting the following reports transparently and expediently in a publicly accessible forum:

- The Airport Noise Management Plan - Annual Aircraft Operations Noise Monitoring Report, - Annual On-Aircraft Engine Testing Noise Monitoring Report - Quarterly On-Aircraft Engine Testing Report

Airport Noise Management Plan Statutory Requirements

- Seven day rolling report of noise from on-aircraft engine testing against the District Plan noise limits at 8 specific monitoring positions

- Daily LAFmax report of noise from on-aircraft engine testing noise at the edge of the residential zone - A summary of complaints received annually and a description of actions taken to address complaints.

• Schedules of the acoustic treatment implemented over the previous calendar year, acoustic treatment offered where conditions of the offer required by section b of appendix 6.11.15 have not been met.

Airport Noise Management Plan Noise Limits

4 NOISE LIMITS

This NMP demonstrates how aircraft operations and on-aircraft engine testing are managed to ensure that the airport complies with the District Plan noise limits. Those noise limits are described in this section.

4.1 NOISE LIMITS FOR AIRCRAFT OPERATIONS

The noise limits for aircraft operations are detailed in Rule 6.1.6.2.5 of the District Plan (refer to appendix 2 of this plan). The rule states that noise from aircraft operations

shall not exceed 65 dB Ldn outside of the 65 dB Ldn noise contour shown in Figure 1 below:

Figure 1: District Plan 65 dB Ldn air noise compliance contour

Some exceptions to this rule are permitted. Noise may exceed the limit by up to 2dB if the exceedance is due to atypical weather, national flight disruption, natural disaster or other unplanned circumstances. Noise exceedances resulting from the circumstances listed above are reported in the annual noise monitoring report.

4.2 RULES AND NOISE LIMITS FOR ON-AIRCRAFT ENGINE TESTING

The rules and maximum noise limits for on-aircraft engine testing are detailed in rule 6.1.6.2.6 of the District Plan (refer to appendix 3 of this plan). The rule states that on- aircraft engine tests must comply with the following standards:

Noise from on-aircraft engine testing shall not exceed the limits shown in Table 1 below when measured at the specified on-aircraft engine testing compliance monitoring positions shown on the contour maps in Figure 2 below.

In addition,

• Within any three-month period, a maximum of five unplanned high-power jet engines tests may be carried out between the hours of 2200h and 0700h. There shall be no more than 12 unplanned high-power tests per year carried out between 2200 and 0700h hours.

• All other high-power jet engine tests must be carried out between 0700h and 2200h.

• Any on-aircraft engine tests for turbo prop engine aircraft between the hours of 22:00 and 07:00h, with a total duration of testing at high power for 5 minutes or more per aircraft shall be conducted near the threshold of Runway 11. This is the northwest end of the crosswind runway.

4.2.1 EXCEPTIONS

The on-aircraft engine testing rules do not apply to the following activities:

• Engine testing for aircraft used for Antarctic operations;

Airport Noise Management Plan Noise Limits

• Engine testing necessary to satisfy an airworthiness directive or other safety requirement issued by the Minister of Transport, the Director of Civil Aviation or the Civil Aviation Authority;

• Any other unplanned testing arising from an aircraft operator identifying a safety issue relating to an aircraft fleet, or required because of a natural disaster including volcanic eruption;

• Turbo prop engine testing is exempt from the requirement to use the threshold of Runway 11 between the hours of 22:00 and 07:00h, during times that Runway 11/29 is in use.

Airport Noise Management Plan Noise Management

5 NOISE MANAGEMENT

Christchurch Airport implements a range of measures to ensure that operational noise from aircraft and noise from on-aircraft engine testing complies with the District Plan noise limits. This section details how airport operations are managed to ensure that on- aircraft engine testing and aircraft operations comply with the maximum permitted noise limits described in Section 4.

5.1 MANAGEMENT OF AIRCRAFT OPERATIONS AND ON- AIRCRAFT ENGINE TESTING

The Airport Company provides and maintains airport infrastructure such as runways, terminals, airport parking and other infrastructure to facilitate an operational airport. It does not directly manage aircraft movements or conduct on-aircraft engine testing, including on-aircraft engine testing. Christchurch Airport is responsible for ensuring all operators conduct airport operations and on-aircraft engine testing in a manner that does not breach noise limits specified in the District Plan.

Airways New Zealand is responsible for managing air navigation and air traffic management across New Zealand, including managing the take-off, landing and taxiing of aircraft at Christchurch International Airport. Airways follow Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) standards and communication procedures, as legally required, when controlling air traffic movement.

on-aircraft engine tests are carried out by airline operators or repair companies who operate on the airport campus. These airline operators or repair companies manage on- aircraft engine testing, including where, when and how these are conducted.

To achieve compliance of operational aircraft noise, the airport company influences aircraft noise through the approval of departure and arrival tracks and the use of noise abatement departure procedures. This can be achieved through working with Airways and the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) to implement ‘good neighbour behaviour’. Good neighbour practices are generally considered to be actions that accommodate community concerns and interests.

To manage noise generated from on-aircraft engine testing, Christchurch Airport uses two primary tools; these are the Engine Testing Management Software (ETMS) and the Ground Running Procedures Policy document.

5.1.1 OPERATIONAL NOISE

The Airport Company manages operational noise using several methods. The approach is firstly to understand and quantify how noise is generated from airport operations, thus enabling the airport, its operators and stakeholders to make informed decisions as to how airport operations are to be managed. The primary goal is to ensure the airport

complies with the 65 dB Ldn noise contour.

The airport uses noise monitoring to understand and quantify airport operational noise levels. Noise monitoring includes computer noise modelling and field noise measurements.

Airport Noise Management Plan Noise Management

Each year computer noise modelling is used to generate Annual Aircraft Noise Contours (AANCs). These predictions are then verified with field noise measurements to ensure their accuracy.

This approach is used as it is impractical (and cost-prohibitive) to measure noise levels at every relevant location. However, the general proviso to this is that these calculations need to be checked for their accuracy, which is done by using targeted noise measurements at several key locations.

The noise monitoring can then be used as a tool itself, in that the results inform discussions held between the Airport and various stakeholders regarding noise management.

One such example would be that the Airport works with Airways encouraging airline operators to implement “good neighbour behaviour.” This includes making changes to minimal operational heights around densely populated areas, altering take-off and landing procedures and the taxiing of aircraft. These changes are influenced by the extent of current noise emissions, as shown in the yearly AANC.

In addition to encouraging airlines to manage operations in such a way to reduce noise certain types of aircraft are banned from Christchurch airport, these include chapter 2 aircraft (as defined by ICAO Annex 16)

Christchurch Airport has worked with the Canterbury Aero Club to implement good neighbour behaviour with regards to night flight training. Night flying is an essential part of the NZ CAA’s requirements for professional pilot licences, and the Canterbury Aero Club offers the opportunity to carry out this training as part of their pilot training programme. Night flying involves flying at relatively low altitude over both rural and urban areas. In response to community concerns about light aircraft noise around Christchurch City, Christchurch Airport worked with the Canterbury Aero club to improve practices and restrict late night flying to no later than 22:00 in winter and 23:00 in summer to reduce noise experienced by residences. This has resulted in a significant reduction in the number of noise complaints received by Christchurch Airport associated with light aircraft manoeuvres.

Christchurch Airport recognises that there is increased sensitivity to aircraft noise at night. Night-time aircraft noise events and associated impacts are managed through

the use of the Ldn noise metric which includes the imposition of a 10 decibel penalty for night time noise. Christchurch Airport also considers noise impacts when scheduling additional aircraft movements at night.

The airport also uses noise monitoring to establish how changes in operations may impact noise levels generated from operations.

Noise monitoring compliments work the airport does in the management of noise when changes to airport operational characteristics occur or are planned. When such a change occurs, or is scheduled to occur, an assessment is carried out to see what such an operational change would have on the airports compliance, and to see if there is anything further that can be done to reduce any resultant noise impacts.

Airport Noise Management Plan Noise Management

Recent examples are given below:

RNP Trial

In 2016 a new set of arrival procedures were being developed by Airways NZ, known as RNP. The proposal included undertaking a trial of the arrival procedures to investigate their effectiveness. One potential adverse effect was noise. To manage this, the airport completed noise modelling prior to the RNP trial commencing and noise measurements before and during the trial to establish how changes in aircraft movements would impact noise levels. The airport assessed if there was potential for a

breach of the 65 dB Ldn compliance contour to occur. If any potential breach was identified the airport and its operators would investigate what operational changes are required to avoid the breach.

Runway Overlay (Project Takatu)

A noise assessment was completed by the airport prior to the commencement of the runway overlay project The runway overlay project resulted with increased use of the cross-wind runway, particularly at night. The airport completed a noise assessment to establish if increased use of the cross-wind runway would breach the compliance noise contours. The noise assessment identified that a cap on the number of movements on the cross-wind runway was required to manage compliance within the noise contours.

Garden City Helicopter Relocation

Garden City Helicopters relocated from the corner of Memorial Avenue and Ron Guthrey Road to a new facility on Grays Road in late 2017. For the purposes of the District Plan helicopter operations are not considered Aircraft Operations, as such noise associated with helicopter movement is not technically included in compliance calculations. However, the Airport wanted to understand noise impacts associated with the relocation and a noise assessment was carried out to establish if relocation of Garden City Helicopters would materially impact the compliance contour.

In summary, the noise effects were assessed to be reasonable, based on the existing noise environment, the current noise exposure that is occurring in the area, and the proposed number of helicopter flights that would occur. The assessment also concluded that noise levels would be below noise levels recommended in the helicopter noise standard on this basis no further action was deemed necessary.

5.1.2 ON-AIRCRAFT ENGINE TESTING

On-aircraft engine testing is defined in the Christchurch District Plan as the testing of engines on-aircraft. On-aircraft engine testing is generally required as part of pre-flight testing following engine repairs and maintenance and occurs outdoors. As a result, on- aircraft engine testing is more likely to affect residents as it must occur outdoors.

Off-wing testing involves detaching engines from aircraft and testing occurs inside a dedicated test cell in a purpose built in door facility. It is generally required after major maintenance and repairs.

The District Plan requires that Christchurch Airport manages on-aircraft engine testing operators to ensure compliance with testing restrictions and noise limits at the locations referred to in section 3.2. To manage on-aircraft engine testing, Christchurch Airport uses two primary tools:

Airport Noise Management Plan Noise Management

• Engine testing management software (ETMS);

• Ground running Procedures Policy document;

5.1.3 ENGINE TESTING MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE

Engine Testing Management Software (ETMS) is a web based application developed by Marshall Day Acoustics as the primary tool to manage on-aircraft engine testing noise. The ETMS predicts on-aircraft engine testing noise calculating whether a scheduled test complies with on-aircraft engine testing noise limits. Details of the ETMS are provided in Appendix 3.

Software predictions are based on noise data from engine tests for different aircraft at different power levels. The software predictions are verified against noise measurement data collected from noise monitoring terminals (NMT) placed around the periphery of the airport. Noise monitors were installed during the first six months of the development of the ETMS and will be redeployed biannually for reverification.

Prior to conducting an engine test the operator enters test details into the ETMS. The system then indicates if the test can occur, based on whether the proposed test would exceed the allowable noise ‘budget’. If the test is approved, a portion of the total noise budget is then reserved for the operator until the test is completed. Once the engine test is completed the operator must update the test details to ensure any variations are captured. The system will not approve any test that will result in an exceedance of the allowed noise budget.

The ETMS includes a reporting function to produces daily, quarterly and annual reports. The software also sends automatic emails to Christchurch Airport staff and senior operator staff should a breach occur; the noise levels are close to breach limits; a malfunction has occurred; or when scheduled tests have not been completed where noise budget has been reserved. In the instances of a breach steps will be taken to inform the Council and the Airport Noise Liaison Committee and formulate future steps.

Additionally, this process allows the airport to proactively manage on-aircraft engine testing noise. If a new operator intends to establish a testing facility or whenever a particular change in the airport on-aircraft engine testing regime occurs, a requirement to check noise compliance is triggered. The airport can use the ETMS to assess the noise impact of such a change.

5.1.4 GROUND RUNNING PROCEDURES

Christchurch Airport have developed a ground running procedure, this procedure is a tool to help all operators (including Antarctic operations) who conduct on-aircraft engine testing implement the ETMS. This procedure outlines how and when to use the ETMS, ETMS restrictions to be adhered to and the responsibilities of all parties. The document also outlines penalties to be imparted upon operators who breach the Plan restrictions. A copy of this document is attached in Appendix 4 of this Plan

The United States Antarctic Programme (USAP) has signed the Ground Running Procedures Policy document however, in accordance with rule 6.1.6.2.6 (a) (iv) (A) they are not bound by the restrictions in the District Plan. For the USAP, a clause has been added to their document that requests that all engine tests are undertaken between the hours of 0700 and 1900 where possible.

Airport Noise Management Plan Noise Management

Before the next revision of the NMP CIAL will commence discussion with NZDF encouraging NZDF to undertake on-wing engine testing activities between the hours 07:00 to 19:00 hours, it is understood NZDF engine testing activities at CIAL are rare and only occur in special circumstances.

5.2 CONSIDERATION OF ALTERNATIVES

Alternative methods for managing and mitigating noise to achieve the reduction of noise effects from all aspects of aircraft operations including on aircraft engine testing was considered during the District Plan Review Process.

The use of a ground run-up enclosures (GRE) was considered. The use of such a facility was balanced against the imposition of on-aircraft engine testing contours and on- aircraft engine testing restrictions in relation to whether it would achieve suitable reductions in noise levels. The cost of developing such a facility was also considered in the context of predicted reduction in noise levels. The use of a GRE was not considered to be a suitable alternative to the use of noise contours and on-aircraft engine testing restrictions as a more effective means to manage aircraft on-aircraft engine testing noise.

Christchurch Airport have considered and implemented alternative methods to power aircraft while they “parked” on the Apron during boarding, unloading and turning around time between flights. Traditionally aircraft would use engines to provide power to the aircraft or alternatively plug into ground power unit (GPU’s). Christchurch Airport provide ground power services allowing aircraft to “plug-in” removing the need to run engines or run GPU’s and noise associated with running engines or GPU’s. Apron noise resulting from operations not associated with aircraft movement is not covered by the definition of aircraft operations in the District Plan, however this alternative does reduce noise generated on the campus.

Christchurch Airport will revisit alternatives when they are put forward. The Airport Noise Liaison Committee is the main forum for consideration of alternatives.

Airport Noise Management Plan Noise Monitoring Programme

6 NOISE MONITORING PROGRAMME

The District Plan requires Christchurch Airport to monitor noise levels and produce monitoring reports.

As mentioned in section 5, the main purpose of noise monitoring is to determine whether noise levels comply with the maximum noise limits set out in the District Plan and to allow noise management procedures to be instigated where exceedances occur. There are separate noise monitoring and reporting requirements for aircraft operational noise and on-aircraft engine testing noise.

The monitoring and reporting requirements are outlined in rule 6.1.6.2.5 and 6.1.6.2.6 in The District Plan.

6.1 MONITORING OPERATIONAL NOISE

Noise from aircraft operations is monitored using both calculations from an operational aircraft noise model and records of actual aircraft movements. Noise is also monitored using real time noise measurements which are then used to verify the accuracy of the operational aircraft noise model.

6.1.1 THE ANNUAL AIRCRAFT NOISE CONTOUR

The primary method for monitoring operational noise is by calculating ‘compliance contours’. These use the total number of aircraft movements occurring in a given year to produce the Annual Aircraft Noise Contour (AANC). As referenced in NZS6805: 1992 the noise model used to develop the AANC is the United States Federal Aviation Authority Integrated Noise Model (INM). The INM is the same model used to prepare the District Plan noise contours. Noise calculations are performed by a person with appropriate qualifications and experience in airport noise modelling and acoustics assessment.

The AANC map is based on total aircraft movements from the busiest three-month period of the previous year. The calculations take account of aircraft type, time of day, runway used, timing and published flight paths. INM does not provide for actual flight paths flown however published flight paths are used. Airways and the Acoustic engineer go through a visual process reviewing flight path information ensuring the published flight paths used in the INM are still a reasonable approximation of actual flight paths flown. Any new published flight path procedures are also incorporated into the INM. In the future CIAL hopes to use updated modelling software which provides for the use of actual flight paths flown when calculating the AANC. Christchurch Airport has produced aircraft noise contour maps annually since 2006. The contour produced is then assessed

against the 65 dB Ldn air noise compliance contour in the District Plan to determine compliance.

Where the AANC are calculated to be within 2 decibels of the District Plan compliance contour, Christchurch Airport will conduct an initial summary review as to the extent and cause of this margin. The Compliance and Development Manager and Acoustic Engineer will be responsible for making the decision to conduct the initial summary review and any further analysis that may be required.

Where the AANC are calculated to be within 1 decibel of the District Plan compliance contour, Christchurch Airport will undertake more detailed analysis including noise measurements to verify the AANC. The Compliance and Development Manager and © Christchurch International Airport Ltd V.D, Page 14

Airport Noise Management Plan Noise Monitoring Programme

Acoustic Engineer will be responsible for making the decision to undertake a more detailed analysis. Noise measurement results and analysis would be contained in the annual noise monitoring report and the methods for further investigation communicated to the Liaison committee.

6.1.2 VERIFICATION OF THE AANC

Verification of the AANC is to be completed no less than every 3 years. If the AANC is within 1dB of the compliance contour in the District Plan, Christchurch Airport will increase the verification frequency to every year. The Compliance and Development Manager and Acoustic Engineer will be responsible for making the decision to undertake verification measurements. Verification is to be completed using NMT placed within the vicinity of Christchurch Airport and the process to identify the exact locations of the NMT is to be decided on consultation with the Airport Noise Liaison Committee (ANLC). Details of the noise verification including information such as the noise measurement programme, and noise analysis are to be included in the noise monitoring report. It is expected that noise measurements would primarily be used to verify the AANCs, but on occasion can be used to assess specific noise issues.

6.2 MONITORING ON-AIRCRAFT ENGINES TESTING NOISE

Noise levels from on-aircraft engine testing is monitored using noise calculation software (ETMS) and real-time noise verification measurements.

6.2.1 CALCULATING ON-AIRCRAFT ENGINES TESTING NOISE USING THE ETMS

Noise levels from on-aircraft engine testing is monitored using noise calculation software which uses data supplied from actual on-aircraft engine testing events. The noise level is calculated as a 7-day rolling average, that is the average level of noise resulting from on-aircraft engine testing over the previous 7-day period. This is calculated automatically each day for the preceding 7-day period by the ETMS. The ETMS also

calculates daily maximum noise level in relation to the daily 75 dB LAmax noise limit at the edge of the residential zone that the airport must also comply with. The ETMS is verified using noise measurements to be conducted in accordance with rule 6.1.6.2.6v.B.

6.2.2 MEASURING ON-AIRCRAFT ENGINE TESTING NOISE

Noise from on-aircraft engine testing must also be measured to verify that the calculated noise levels are accurate. Measurements must be taken from the on-aircraft engine testing Compliance Monitoring Positions. There are 8 monitoring positions located on

each of the 65 dB Ldn dB and 55 dB Ldn on-aircraft engine testing contours, and a further 3 positions along the boundary of the residential zone. The monitoring positions are shown in figure 2 in Section 3.2 of this plan.

Christchurch Airport completed the first-round on-aircraft engine testing noise verification measurements in the last quarter of 2017. Results of verification measurements are detailed in 2017 Annual Noise Monitoring report. In accordance with the District Plan Christchurch Airport will undertake on-aircraft engine testing noise verification measurements biannually, results and analysis of verification measurements is to be included in the annual Noise Monitoring report. Christchurch Airport will also on

Airport Noise Management Plan Noise Monitoring Programme

occasion undertake specific on-aircraft engine testing noise measurements when it is deemed necessary to do so.

6.3 NOISE REPORTING

In accordance with rule 6.1.6.2.5 and 6.1.6.2.6 of the District Plan Christchurch Airport is required to produce annual noise monitoring reports for both aircraft operational noise and on-aircraft engine testing. The Annual Noise Monitoring Report is submitted to Christchurch City Council and is made publicly available on the Christchurch Airport website. The report is produced for the calendar year (1 January – 31 December). In addition to reporting requirements as outlined in the District Plan the annual report will also include any other acoustical considerations during the previous calendar year.

6.3.1 REPORTING AIRCRAFT OPERATIONS NOISE:

Information in the annual noise monitoring report on aircraft operations noise includes:

• The AANC; • The results of any verification measurements undertaken; • Analysis of whether the noise from aircraft operations complied with the noise limit at the 65 dB Ldn noise compliance contour; • Any instances where noise levels exceeded the permitted limit at the compliance contour, and the reasons for the exceedances; • A summary of the complaints received over the previous year in relation to noise from aircraft operations, and the actions taken in response.

6.3.2 REPORTING ON-AIRCRAFT ENGINE TESTING NOISE:

Information in the annual noise monitoring report on On-aircraft Engine testing includes:

• The results of verification measurements taken; • Analysis of whether the noise from on-aircraft engine testing has complied with the applicable noise limits; • A summary of complaints received over the previous year in relation to noise from on-aircraft engine testing, and any actions taken in response.

The ETMS includes a reporting function capturing data required to compile the annual, quarterly and daily reporting requirements, Christchurch Airport makes these reports publicly available and submits reports to CCC for compliance purposes.

6.3.3 QUARTERLY ON-AIRCRAFT ENGINE TESTING REPORTING:

The District Plan also requires Christchurch Airport to provide a Quarterly On-aircraft Engine Testing Report to the CCC. The report must include:

• a summary of all on-aircraft engine testing activities undertaken during the quarter; • All tests undertaken that complied with the applicable noise limits; • All tests undertaken that are exempt from the noise limits, (e.g. tests on Antarctic aircraft) the reasons the tests were exempt and any measures taken to manage noise effects during those tests.

Information required to compile quarterly reports is captured and reported via the ETMS. Christchurch Airport makes these reports publicly available and submits reports to CCC for compliance purposes. Quarterly reporting periods are January-March, April- © Christchurch International Airport Ltd V.D, Page 16

Airport Noise Management Plan Noise Monitoring Programme

June, July-September, October-December. The report will be published no later than the 30th of the month following the completion of the reporting period.

6.4 SOFTWARE REVIEW

Noise monitoring for both aircraft operational noise and on-aircraft engine testing noise use acoustic software packages to generate predicted noise levels. Noise calculations for aircraft operational noise uses the Version 7 of the INM. Compliance contours in the District Plan were also developed using v7 of INM. To ensure consistency of calculated noise levels Christchurch Airport intend to use the same software applied to develop noise contours in the District Plan.

Christchurch Airport will review software packages used to calculate aircraft operational noise levels as new versions of the software are developed. At a minimum Christchurch Airport will review software used every five years.

The ETMS is a software packaged developed by acoustic engineers taking account of noise level data sourced from aircraft manufacturers and noise measurements of aircraft on the ground at Christchurch. Engines testing noise verification measurements (detailed in section 5.2.1) are used to update the software package to ensure calculated noise levels are an accurate representation of actual noise levels generated.

Airport Noise Management Plan Complaints

7 COMPLAINTS

In accordance with rule 6.1.6.7.1 in The District Plan Christchurch Airport must provide a procedure for transparently and expediently responding to any complaints received in relation to noise from aircraft operations or on-aircraft engine testing. Christchurch Airport has an on-line system in place to, register, investigate, respond and report on all noise complaints.

7.1 COMPLAINT PROCESS:

Airport Noise Management Plan Appendix 4: Engine Testing Management System Software

APPENDIX 4: ENGINE TESTING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM SOFTWARE

The Engine Testing Noise Management Software (ETMS), was developed so that Christchurch Airport could quantify and manage on-aircraft engine testing noise emissions around the airport. The software could calculate noise emissions at multiple receiver locations, based on actual records of on-aircraft engine testing that had occurred.

Several sources of input data were required to develop the ETMS, as discussed below.

On-aircraft engine testing Activity Data

Maintenance staff record in the ETMS a detailed set of information including the type of on- aircraft engine testing activity, aircraft model, date and time, wind direction, and speed, duration of each engine ‘on’ time, power setting and aircraft orientation, as well as the location of the test. These records are then used by the ETMS to calculate community noise exposure at the different locations specified in the District Plan

Noise Source Data

An essential component of the ETMS calculation procedure is a detailed knowledge of the noise level emission levels of each aircraft type. This information includes noise level and directivity patterns and a variety of engine settings for each aircraft. This data has been collected via noise measurements at Christchurch and elsewhere, in conjunction with noise emission data sourced from aircraft manufacturers.

Manufacturers Noise Emission Data

For each type of aircraft on which on-aircraft engine testing occurs at Christchurch, noise level emissions data has been sourced through a literature review and discussions with the manufacturers, with some exceptions. Data for some aircraft types were not available at the time of the ETMS development. For these aircraft, reference has been made to measured aircraft flyby noise levels, and emissions data found within the INM noise model to determine appropriate equivalent aircraft on-aircraft engine testing noise levels where data is available.

However, because of the limited number of tests that occur, noise emissions from these are not expected to significantly affect the overall community noise levels, and overall airport on-aircraft engine testing compliance.

Noise emission data comprises noise level measurements in polar plot form, for various engine types and under various thrust settings. This enables a fully comprehensive set of noise emissions data to be used. All manufacturer noise emission data is based on-site noise measurements of aircraft, with measurements occurring under reference meteorological conditions and at reference microphone positions.

Airport Noise Management Plan Appendix 4: Engine Testing Management System Software

As well as this, noise measurements near various aircraft engine test events at Christchurch have been undertaken and these have been complimented by measurements at locations in the community. These noise level measurements have been used to ensure that the manufacturers data is accurate, and represents actual on-aircraft engine testing noise levels in practice. The noise measurements ensure that noise emissions data used in the calculations is accurate.

Computer Noise Modelling

Computer noise modelling was then employed to calculate community noise exposure levels for a number of different operating scenarios. The noise levels calculated for the final version of the ETMS was sound pressure levels at the 19 ETCMP receiver locations stipulated in the District Plan.

The verified noise emissions data was used in noise modelling software to calculate noise levels for each possible on-aircraft engine testing scenario at each receiver location. The purpose of this is develop a database of noise levels received at each location for each scenario so that differing noise exposure levels in the community can then be calculated, in accordance with the District Plan noise controls.

Each scenario is based on a specific:

• Aircraft type

• Power setting

• Orientation

• Location

Based on these parameters there are more than 1500 operating scenarios which have been calculated.

Computer noise modelling was carried out using SoundPLAN, an internationally recognised computer noise modelling software package.

In summary, a digital topographical model of the area of interest was entered into SoundPLAN together with locations of the noise sources (noise levels have been predicted in accordance with the algorithm detailed in ISO9613-2: 1996- Acoustics – Attenuation of sound during propagation outdoors – Part 2: General method of calculation (ISO9613) as implemented in SoundPLAN.

ISO9613 considers a range of frequency dependent attenuation factors, including spherical divergence, atmospheric absorption, ground effect, acoustic screening and directivity effects. It assumes meteorological conditions favourable to propagation from sources (downwind at wind speeds 1 -5 m/s in all directions), and as such, calculates slightly conservative sound levels.

Airport Noise Management Plan Appendix 4: Engine Testing Management System Software

The directivity effects that have been included are taken from the manufacturers’ noise emission data.

Engine Testing Noise Management Software (ETMS)

The calculated sound pressure levels for each one of the above operating scenarios are then compiled into a database in the ETMS. It is the ETMS that is then used to calculate community noise exposure based on this noise level database and the historic records of time/duration of each operation activity.

The Engine Testing Management Software (ETMS) has since been further developed by Marshall Day Acoustics and Translate Digital for Christchurch Airport. It is similar in concept to the software used to show compliance with the general aircraft noise emissions (INM) in that it is based on the records of the actual on-aircraft engine testing that has been carried out.

The ETMS is now a predictive tool that can be used to proactively manage on-aircraft engine testing noise. The software does not allow tests to be scheduled that would breach the relevant controls. Instead, a maintenance engineer could look at scheduling the test during the day, or at a different location or orientation.

This ability to review possible on-aircraft engine testing scenarios allows the airport and the maintenance staff to manage how the testing is conducted, and therefore how to manage the on-aircraft engine testing noise emissions.

INTRODUCTION

This document forms part of the Christchurch International Airport Limited (CIAL) Manuals. This document must be read in conjunction with any relevant information published by CIAL or other authorities and the Christchurch International Airport Limited By-laws 1989. This document and the procedures described within may be amended by CIAL as required. CIAL will endeavour to provide sufficient notification of the changes to aircraft operators; however, it is the responsibility of the aircraft operators to stay informed of any amendments. Any information published by CIAL via NOTAM takes precedence over the information contained in this document.

PURPOSE AND AIM

These procedures cover all types of engine maintenance ground run ups and stationary engine testing (“Engine Testing”) being performed, by aircraft operators or authorised agents, on stationary turbo and jet engines on CIAL airfield land. These procedures do not cover off-wing engine testing being carried out in the Christchurch Engine Centre.

The intent of these procedures is to:

• Minimise risk to other parties;

• Prevent damage to operational areas;

• Prevent damage to buildings;

• Ensure compliance with requirements outlined in the Christchurch District Plan;

• Minimise community exposure to aircraft noise associated with Engine Testing.

These procedures also outline the procedures and requirements of CIAL owned and operated Engine Testing Monitoring Software System (ETMS). The ETMS is to be used by all authorised agents undertaking Engine Testing at Christchurch International Airport. A full ETMS user manual can be found in Appendix 1 of this document.

RESPONSIBILTY

CHRISTCHURCH INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT LIMITED

CIAL is responsible for producing this procedure document and liaising with stakeholders as it considers necessary to determine any operating requirements and necessary restrictions.

CIAL is responsible for managing all / any noise complaints associated with Engine Testing in conjunction with aircraft operators. CIAL will notify relevant stakeholders of any complaint received related to Engine Testing where the effect on the community is considered unacceptable and where further restrictions may be required.

CIAL is required to ensure aircraft operators comply with on-aircraft engine testing noise limits contained in the Christchurch District Plan. Should a breach in Engine Testing noise limits occur, CIAL will contact all operators and undertake an inquiry as to why the breach occurred. All operators will be required to cooperate with CIAL during any such investigation and will abide by any outcomes and recommendations identified by CIAL to ensure no further breaches occur.

AIRCRAFT OPERATORS

Aircraft operators are responsible for complying with this document and notifying CIAL of the details of Engine Testing operations with the use of the ETMS. Aircraft operators or their authorised agents performing testing are responsible for:

• Abiding by all instructions issued by CIAL for the purposes of ensuring compliance by the aircraft operator with Engine Testing noise limits contained in the Christchurch District Plan including without limitation Engine Testing noise contour limits as identified in Figure 1 below;

• Scheduling all Engine Tests using the ETMS programme prior to undertaking the test;

• Abiding by the outputs of the ETMS software including location changes or rescheduling of Engine Tests should it identify that an Engine Test cannot occur in accordance with the proposed parameters;

• Entering all Engine Test details in ETMS within one hour of the Engine Test occurring;

• Ensuring all high-power jet Engine Tests are undertaken between the hours of 0700 and 2200 except for Unplanned Engine Tests (as defined on page 7 below) and tests undertaken in association with the Antarctic Programme;

• Ensuring all high-power turbo-prop Engine Tests of five minutes or more are carried out between 2200 and 0700 occur at the threshold of runway 11 except for when the runway is in use or when the Engine Test is undertaken in association with the Antarctic Programme;

• Using all reasonable endeavours to ensure Engine Tests carried out in association with the Antarctic Programme comply with these requirements.

Aircraft operators must obtain prior approval from Air Traffic Control (ATC) to conduct all Engine Testing. Aircraft operators must ensure that towing or taxi operations of

aircraft on the movement areas of Christchurch Airport is done in accordance with all reasonable directions of CIAL, regulatory requirements, any NOTAMS, manufacturers operating procedures and conditions contained in any other relevant document information.

AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL (ATC)

ATC will prioritise the safety of aircraft using taxiways and runways adjacent to aircraft carrying out Engine Testing on threshold Runway 11. Where necessary ATC may limit the use of Engine Testing locations and / or power setting to maintain the safe operation of aircraft movements.

Figure 1: Engine testing noise contours set for Christchurch International Airport in the Christchurch District Plan

ENGINE TESTING PROCEDURES

The Christchurch District Plan requires that all engine tests comply with the 65 and 55 dB Ldn engine testing contours as identified in Figure 1 above and a 75 dB LAmax. As such, all aircraft operators and their agents undertaking engine tests must follow the steps outlined below:

1. Schedule an engine test: all tests, light/line or heavy maintenance, must be scheduled regardless of time or location. To schedule a test the operator must:

a. Log into the ETMS system at https://www.etms.christchurchairport.co.nz;

b. Enter test parameters;

2. Contact Air Traffic Control (“ATC”) for approval (Christchurch Ground frequency 121.9); prior to conducting all Engine Testing on the airfield except as provided for in the CIAL By-laws. Please advise ATC of the following details: aircraft callsign/registration, aircraft type, power setting (idle, low, med or high power) and location of engine run. For example: using standard phraseology “Christchurch Ground, ATR Mike Charlie Whiskey requesting start on A13 for a low power engine run on the #1 run pad”. During the engine test, the crew must maintain an active listening watch. During an aircraft tow, it is not sufficient to use the aircraft’s radio as the sole means of contact with ATC. The tug operator must also maintain an appropriate means of communication with ATC at all times (Christchurch Ground frequency 121.9).

3. Undertake Engine Test (if it will not result in breach);

4. Update Engine Test details in the ETMS software immediately following the Engine Test (as detailed in Appendix 1).

The ETMS software will determine whether the scheduled Engine Test will comply with the Christchurch District Plan noise limits and therefore whether it can occur or if it is exempt from complying with such noise limits. If the Engine Test cannot occur, the software will propose an alternative time or location. All aircraft operators and their agents must comply with the outputs of the ETMS software. Failure to comply with the requirements of the ETMS software may result in a breach of the Christchurch District Plan noise limits, in which case the aircraft operator will be liable for any costs incurred by CIAL to address the breach.

All aircraft operators undertaking Engine Tests will be provided with a quarterly and annual report, tracking compliance with the Christchurch District Plan requirements. All unplanned engine tests will be communicated to CIAL and the operations manager for the aircraft in question or the company undertaking maintenance and repairs on the behalf of the airline operator.

The following restrictions apply strictly to Engine Testing.

• All Engine Testing (i.e. day and night) must be scheduled using the ETMS software;

• All Engine Tests must abide by the predictions provided by the ETMS software as they are reflective of the District Plan requirements;

• Engine Testing must not be carried out between the hours of 2200-0700 unless the test meets exception criteria outlined below. Engine Test details must be accurately captured in the ETMS i.e. it must be captured as ‘unplanned’ or ‘exempt’.

• 2200-0700 – the following restrictions apply to Engine Testing:

o Only five high power jet engine tests may be carried out in any 3 month period running 01/01-31/03, 01/04-30/06, 01/07-30/09, 01/10-31/12 each year. These tests are known as ‘Unplanned Engine Tests’;

o The total number of high power jet Engine Tests / Unplanned Engine Tests, is limited to 12 per annum;

o All high power turbo prop Engine Tests of five minutes or more must occur on threshold of runway 11 unless it is in use.

The only exceptions to the above operating restrictions are unplanned engine tests defined as tests that meet the below criteria:

• Engine Tests associated with Antarctic Operations, provided that the operator takes reasonable steps to comply with the intent of this document to the extent practicable;

• Engine Tests have sign off from the Minister of Transport or the Director of Civil Aviation or the Civil Aviation Authority;

• Any other Unplanned Engine Test, which is an Engine Test arising from an aircraft operator’s identification of a safety issue relating to an aircraft fleet, or required as a result of a natural disaster or event including volcanic eruption.

RUN-UP PAD ADJACENT TO A11 TAXIWAY

When aircraft are positioned on the ground run-up pad adjacent to the No 1 Hangar Taxiway 11 (running or parked), A11 taxiway shall be closed to all aircraft taxi movements past the run-up pad. It is the responsibility of the ground crew to ensure taxiway A11 is closed for Engine Testing activities. Closing Taxiway 11 is by the way of flashing lights, indicating the taxiway is closed, and contacting ATC to notify when the ground run-up pad is in use.

When the area between TWY A2 and A3 is required for Engine Testing operations, ground crews shall contact ATC in the usual manner and request permission for this area. If approved, during these operations TWY A2 is closed. Ground crews are also responsible for notifying ATC when the ground run-up pad is in use and ensuring the aircraft is well lit, use of Anti Col / Marker / Logo / wing lights or by use of other suitable

external warning providing a physical on the taxiway and visual barrier i.e. with flashing lights as appropriate such as lit marker or fog boards.

Towing aircraft on Taxiway A11, which pass by parked aircraft on the run pad, may be carried out only with the use of wing walkers to ensure safe clearance between aircraft is maintained.

DISPENSATION

No dispensations will be issued by CIAL for any breach of restrictions or noise limits outlined in this document. Any breach that occurs will result in an investigation being undertaken by CIAL to determine the cause of the breach. All aircraft operators and their agents will be required to participate in the investigation. Should an operator found to be liable for a breach that should trigger resource consent or enforcement action, the operator may be required to pay the full cost of obtaining resource consent and/or the enforcement action including but not limited to:

• Consultant fees in consent preparation;

• Technical assessments by acoustic engineers;

• Consent application and processing fees;

• Legal costs;

• The costs of public notification;

• Any costs associated with a hearing;

• Any mitigation required as a result of resource consent conditions;

• Costs associated with the shutdown of Christchurch Airport;

• Fines or other penalties issued by the local or territorial authority.

The above does not apply to engine tests that fall into the category of ‘unplanned’ or emergency maintenance that may meet exempt or unplanned criteria as previously defined in earlier sections of this document.

ENGINE TEST SCHEDULING IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS

UNPLANNED TESTS

An unplanned test is one that is carried out between the hours of 2200 and 0700, on a Jet engine, at High power.

1. The ETMS system will identify when a test is unplanned, and will make the appropriate selection on the form.

2. Unplanned tests have a limit of 5 per quarter, and no more than 12 per year. The form shows the current figures.

3. You are unable to schedule an unplanned engine test if doing so would breach noise or other limits.

4. Unplanned tests are clearly shown on the Dashboard as they are highlighted in Red.

Write your own notes below: 

Christchurch International Airport Engine Testing Policy 2018

TURBO-PROP TESTS

When Turbo-prop tests are carried out between the hours of 2200-0700, at high power for 5 minutes or longer, the test must be completed at the location Threshold Runway 11, unless Runway 11/29 is in use.

1. Where Runway 11/29 is in use, you must indicate this on the form.

2. Select the test location.

3. If you select a location other than Threshold Runway 11 and haven’t indicated that the runway is in use, an error message will display when scheduling the test.

You are unable to schedule a Turbo-prop test at any location, if doing so would breach the noise limits.

Write your own notes below: 

Christchurch International Airport Engine Testing Policy 2018

EXEMPTED TESTS

SIGNED-OFF TESTS A test that has been signed off by the Director of the Civil Aviation Authority, or the Minister of Transport or the Civil Aviation Authority will not contribute to the noise budget. When scheduling the test:

1. Check the Signoff box.

2. Navigate to and attach, or drag and drop your approval document.

Save the test as usual. The test will not count towards the noise budget.

ANTARCTIC OPERATIONS TESTS A test being completed on an aircraft being used for Antarctic Operations will not count towards the noise limit. When scheduling the test:

1. Check the Antarctic Operations box.

Save the test as usual. The test will not count towards the noise budget.

1. Click on the vertical ellipsis ⋮ beside the test you wish to complete. This shows the options available.

2. Select Complete Test.

3. You are presented with the Schedule Test form where you can update any of the parameters on the form. You must update the Tester name field.

4. When you click on Save test details, the test is completed and can no longer be edited.

Christchurch International Airport Engine Testing Policy 2018

COMPLETING ENGINE TESTS – IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS

When you complete an engine test in the ETMS you can change the test parameters, including the duration of the test. These changes will impact on the noise budget.

Important: The noise budget is made up of completed and scheduled tests over the current 7-day period. This means that the system could show a breach of the noise limit, but by amending or cancelling some or all future scheduled tests, there could no longer be a breach. However, it’s possible that the test just completed has caused a breach and cancelling future scheduled tests will not change this fact.

When a breach occurs, future scheduled tests will show either Completion Possible or Breach.

1. Completion Possible indicates a test that could potentially be completed if parameters are changed, or if tests showing ‘Breach’ are cancelled. Tests with this indication have the smallest contribution to the noise budget. 2. Breach indicates that the test has a larger contribution to the noise budget, and will need to be cancelled as it will breach noise limits.

You will have to make changes to currently scheduled tests to ensure that there are no further breaches of the noise limit.

Christchurch International Airport Engine Testing Policy 2018

ETMS SYSTEM UNAVAILABILITY PROCEDURES

Should the ETMS system breakdown such that engine tests cannot be scheduled or completed or the noise budget cannot be observed, the following precedures should be observed:

1. Contact CIAL to notify of the system failure at [email protected] or on (03)3537777. If the system breakdown occurs out of hours, the CIAL team will do their best to investigate the issue the following business day; 2. Reschedule any heavy maintenance or non-urgent tests to the following day, if possible, to safeguard against accidentally exceeding the noise budget; 3. Those tests that must be completed in the near future should record all test details using the paper form attached in Appendix One of this training manual. The form shall then be scanned and sent through to IOC as per the form instructions; 4. Once the system has been operationally restored, the details of any test carried out shall be retrospectively entered into the ETMS system by the system operator.

Christchurch International Airport Engine Testing Policy 2018

USEFUL INFORMATION

AIRCRAFT HEADING IMPACTS AND DIFFERENCES • For Turbo-prop planes, the noise level is highest directly in front of the aircraft, i.e. towards 0 degrees. • For Jet engines, the noise level is highest at around 120 - 140 degrees, and 220 - 240 degrees, i.e. along the backwards diagonals. • Overall, the effect of Heading has less impact on the noise exposure than the effect of Location does.

SCHEDULING IN PART MINUTES

When scheduling, updating or completing However, the individual Engine Run an Engine Test, the Duration can only be times can be set in 10 second set in whole minutes (no seconds) as increments up to 5 minutes, and 1 below. minute increments thereafter, as below.
