    Appendix C 14 CFR PART 150 REVIEW Appendix C 14 CFR Part 150 Review INVENTORY Ryan Airfield INTRODUCTION The purpose of this review is to provide an assessment for the current Noise Compati- bility Study by reexamining the noise and land use conditions at Ryan Airfield and the surrounding area. The information presented in this section will be used to identify existing and future noise-sensitive areas that may be adversely impacted by aircraft noise and to evaluate the current strategies to mitigate or avoid those impacts. The information in this chapter includes: A discussion of the purpose and procedures required to undertake a Noise Compati- bility Program, as described under Title 14, Part 150 of the Code of Federal Regula- tions (CFR) (formerly referred to as F.A.R. Part 150). A description of airport facilities, airspace, and airport operating procedures. A discussion of the roles and responsibilities for each of the entities impacted by aircraft activity from Ryan Airfield. An overview of the land use planning documents and tools applicable within the area surrounding the airport. The information outlined in this appendix was obtained through on-site inspections, interviews with airport staff, airport tenants, and representatives of Pima County Planning, the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT), and the Federal Avia- C-1 tion Administration (FAA). Information was also obtained from available documents concerning the airport and the Tucson area. This review is being prepared concurrently with the Airport Master Plan Update for Ryan Airfield. This provides ample opportunity for the full assessment of potential noise impacts of alternative master planning strategies.
