Abstract The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Air Traffic Organization (ATO) established a noise screening process to help determine the need for a detailed noise analysis of air traffic actions. The MITRE Corporation’s Center for Advanced Aviation System Development (CAASD) prepared this document to assist the FAA and others involved in proposed air traffic actions. This document is not an absolute step-by-step guide; instead, it provides users with a solid and repeatable approach to noise screening within the regulatory framework of FAA Order 1050.1E, Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures. The goal is to provide noise screening techniques to facilitate compliance with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 and the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) regulations. iii Acknowledgements The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), in collaboration with The MITRE Corporation’s Center for Advanced Aviation System Development (CAASD), published the initial version of this document in July 2009. The authors of this revision acknowledge the prior efforts of Scott D. Carpenter, Stan K. Eshelman, and Jesse A. Baker of Landrum and Brown; Michael Graham formerly of Metron Aviation; Fred Bankert, Angela Signore and Kristy Landry of CAASD; and Ernestine Gatewood and Donna Warren of the FAA.

TRAF Test for Arrival Routes B-3 viii 1 Introduction This document provides an overview of the noise screening process and general guidance on how to conduct a noise screening assessment for a pending air traffic action. The noise screening process can be used to determine the potential for noise impacts related to most air traffic actions. The guidance provided conforms to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Order 1050.1E, Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures [1] which outlines the agency’s policies and procedures for complying with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) [2] and the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) Regulations [3]. Consistent with NEPA and the CEQ regulations, FAA adjusts the level of environmental analysis to the expected level of impact of a proposed action. For example, FAA Order 1050.1E contains a list of air traffic actions which normally do not result in significant impacts to the environment (Categorical Exclusion [CATEX]) and therefore, do not require the preparation of an Environmental Assessment (EA) or an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). One of the requirements for a CATEX determination is to ensure that there are no extraordinary circumstances as defined in FAA Order 1050.1E.

  • 2017 SUN Baseline Noise Modeling Memo
    To: CHRIS POMEROY, FRIEDMAN MEMORIAL AIRPORT From: Chris Sandfoss Cc: Rob Adams Date: 3/1/2017 Re: SUN Noise Modeling Methodology and Preliminary Results This memo summarizes the basic input data for, and the preliminary results of, the noise modeling of existing (2017) baseline conditions at Friedman Memorial Airport (SUN). Noise contours have been be prepared using the AEDT at levels of DNL 65, 70, and 75. The following sections describe the input data and results of the noise contour modeling. NOISE MODELING METHODOLOGY Number of Operations and Fleet Mix: The number of annual operations that were modeled for the existing (2017) conditions at SUN is based on a variety of sources, including ATCT operations counts, Airport landing fee reports, and FAA Aviation System Performance Metrics (ASPM) databases. There were 25,316 total operations at SUN from January 2016 through December 2016, which corresponds to 69.4 average-annual day operations. Table 1 provides a summary of the average daily operations and fleet mix at SUN, organized by aircraft type, operation type, and time of day. Several aircraft types use the same FAA-approved substitute in the noise database of the AEDT as indicated by the noise model ID in Table 1. Daytime/Nighttime Operations: Data on the ratio of daytime to nighttime operations is based on data from the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) and data from FMAA staff. Approximately 98 percent of all operations occur during the daytime (7:00 am to 9:59 pm) and 2 percent of all operations occur during the nighttime (10:00 pm to 6:59 am).

  • Airport Master Plan
    Chapter Two FORECASTS AIRPORT MASTER PLAN The definition of demand that may be reasonably expected to occur during the useful life of an airport’s key components (e.g., runways, taxiways, terminal buildings, etc.) is an important factor in facility plan‐ ning. In airport master planning, this involves projecting aviation activity for at least a 20‐year timeframe. Aviation demand forecasting for the Grand Canyon National Park Airport (GCN or Airport) will consider commercial passenger enplanements (boardings), based aircraft, and aircraft operations. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has oversight responsibility to review and approve aviation forecasts developed in conjunction with airport planning studies. In addition, aviation activity forecasts may be an important input to future benefit‐cost analyses associated with airport development, and the FAA reviews these analyses when federal funding requests are submitted. The FAA will review individual airport forecasts with the objective of comparing them to its Terminal Area Forecasts (TAF) and the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS). Even though the TAF is updated annually, in the past there was almost always a disparity between the TAF and master plan‐ ning forecasts. This was primarily because the TAF forecasts did not consider local conditions or recent trends. In recent years, however, the FAA has improved its forecast model to be a demand‐driven fore‐ cast for aviation services based upon local and national economic conditions, as well as conditions within the aviation industry. DRAFT Chapter Two 2-1 The TAF projections of passenger enplanements and commercial operations at large, medium, and small hub airports are based on a bottom‐up approach.

  • Short/Medium Distance Jets
    MAXIMUM PASSENGERS MAXIMUM RANGE SILENT POWER The increased performance of the Citation Bravo is largely due to the new Pratt & Whitney turbofan engines. At the time of its design, no other light-sized private jets were using the PW530A engines. They burn thirteen percent less fuel than the other engines in the series. Cessna’s engineers saw their potential and used them in the Citation Bravo. If the Citation Bravo’s technical capabilities and passenger offerings aren’t enough, consider its price. Its overall operating cost rivals that of even SPACE the best-selling turboprops. When compared to the average cost of other light business jets, it AND COMFORT was second only to the Citation Jet. One of the features that sets the Citation Bravo apart from the competition is its comfort. The engineers designed the cabin to be very quiet, fitted with bagged insulation and an isolated interior shell to eliminate the low-frequency engine fan noise common in small private jets. Additionally, a secondary seal on the cabin door was added to cut wind noise. The Bravo’s seats, cabinets and furnishings are top notch. The standard configuration features a center club section with three additional passenger seats. MAXIMUM PASSENGERS MAXIMUM RANGE RELIABLE AND SIMPLE The CJ1 is extremely easy to fly and can be single-pilot operated. The Citation line was designed for forward-thinking businessmen that would fly their own private jets to and from business meetings, resulting in several automated systems and a simple avionics system. For those that don’t plan to fly their own jet, its ability to be flown by a single pilot offers greater flexibility in flight operations and reduced direct operating cost.
