Summer • Operational analysis showed that respite was achievable in morning 2018 and late evening when traffic is lower. It also showed that there was room to improve levels of respite provided by working with partners. Idea 5 Test • The post-test survey results of 9000+ responses indicated that periods of respite were meaningful and the non-respite weekends were not more impactful than normal operations. Survey results indicate community support of a full-length trial. 22 The program was designed to provide relief mainly to the areas under the initial climb and final approach. Analysis was conducted to determine if there was any change along the downwind flightpath during the Test. Summer Traffic Levels 2018 • All downwinds during the Test and the eight weeks prior to the test, Idea 5 Test had a combination of quiet weekends and busy weekends. Downwind A nalysis • The usage of each downwind during the Test was within the normal variation of their use. Altitudes • A comparison of altitudes along the downwinds pre-Test and during the test indicated no change 23 Please note, the timing of the 2019 Summer Trial was adjusted based on feedback from the Neighbourhood Table.
