  • Night Flights RSP Is Now Suggesting a Scheduled Flight Ban Between 2300 and 0600
    Night Flights RSP is now suggesting a scheduled flight ban between 2300 and 0600. Of course, aviation night is normally 2300 to 0700. Also, cargo flights are predominantly chartered rather than scheduled and so there will be no night time ban on them. RSP is inconsistent in its new Noise Mitigation Plan about what would and would not be allowed. Para 1.4 says it won’t allow night take-offs, but it will allow unscheduled landings at night. Para 1.7 then says “Each landing and take-off at the airport during the Night Time Period is to count towards this annual quota” which means that night take-offs will be allowed. Which is it? RSP is still refusing to cap night ATMs. It says it will probably have 6.7 or 7.7 night flights a night on average. It is not clear to me how this relates to the scheduled night flights that will start at 0600. A few years ago Infratil submitted a night flight application for 7.7 flights a night. Infratil asked for a Quota Count of 1,995 a year. Independent experts Bureau Veritas concluded that the environmental downsides of these 7.7 night flights on average per night outweighed any socio-economic gain for this level of night flights. The public voted overwhelmingly against this proposal. TDC did not approve the proposal. Canterbury did not support the proposal. The RSP proposal is for roughly the same number of night flights (as far as we can tell as there no cap) but for a much higher quota count of 3,028.

  • E. Runway Length Analysis
    JOSLIN FIELD, MAGIC VALLEY REGIONAL AIRPORT DECEMBER 2012 E. Runway Length Analysis This appendix describes the runway length analysis conducted for the Airport. Runway 7-25, the Airport’s primary runway, has a length of 8,700 feet and the existing crosswind runway (Runway 12-30) has a length of 3,207 feet. A runway length analysis was conducted to determine if additional runway length is required to meet the needs of aircraft forecasted to operate at the Airport through the planning period. The analysis was conducted according to Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) guidance contained in Advisory Circular (AC) 150/5325-4B, Runway Length Requirements for Airport Design. The runway length analysis set forth in AC 150/5325-4B relates to both arrivals and departures, although departures typically require more runway length. Runway length requirements were determined separately for Runway 7-25 and Runway 12-30. E.1 Primary Runway Length Requirements According to AC 150/5325-4B, the design objective for the primary runway is to provide a runway length for all aircraft without causing operational weight restrictions. The methodology used to determine required runway lengths is based on the MTOW of the aircraft types to be evaluated, which are grouped into the following categories: Small aircraft (MTOW of 12,500 pounds or less) – Aircraft in this category range in size from ultralight aircraft to small turboprop aircraft. Within this category, aircraft are broken out by approach speeds (less than 30 knots, at least 30 knots but less than 50 knots, and more than 50 knots). Aircraft with approach speeds of more than 50 knots are further broken out by passenger seat capacity (less than 10 passenger seats and 10 or more passenger seats).

    RASG‐PA ESC/29 — WP/04 14/11/17 Twenty ‐ Ninth Regional Aviation Safety Group — Pan America Executive Steering Committee Meeting (RASG‐PA ESC/29) ICAO NACC Regional Office, Mexico City, Mexico, 29‐30 November 2017 Agenda Item 3: Items/Briefings of interest to the RASG‐PA ESC PROPOSAL TO AMEND ICAO FLIGHT DATA ANALYSIS PROGRAMME (FDAP) RECOMMENDATION AND STANDARD TO EXPAND AEROPLANES´ WEIGHT THRESHOLD (Presented by Flight Safety Foundation and supported by Airbus, ATR, Embraer, IATA, Brazil ANAC, ICAO SAM Office, and SRVSOP) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Flight Data Analysis Program (FDAP) working group comprised by representatives of Airbus, ATR, Embraer, IATA, Brazil ANAC, ICAO SAM Office, and SRVSOP, is in the process of preparing a proposal to expand the number of functional flight data analysis programs. It is anticipated that a greater number of Flight Data Analysis Programs will lead to significantly greater safety levels through analysis of critical event sets and incidents. Action: The FDAP working group is requesting support for greater implementation of FDAP/FDMP throughout the Pan American Regions and consideration of new ICAO standards through the actions outlined in Section 4 of this working paper. Strategic Safety Objectives: References: Annex 6 ‐ Operation of Aircraft, Part 1 sections as mentioned in this working paper RASG‐PA ESC/28 ‐ WP/09 presented at the ICAO SAM Regional Office, 4 to 5 May 2017. 1.

  • Scheduled Civil Aircraft Emission Inventories for 1992: Database Development and Analysis
    NASA Contractor Report 4700 Scheduled Civil Aircraft Emission Inventories for 1992: Database Development and Analysis Steven L. Baughcum, Terrance G. Tritz, Stephen C. Henderson, and David C.

Baughcum, Terrance G. Tritz, Stephen C. Henderson, and David C. Pickett Boeing Commercial Airplane Group • Seattle Washington National Aeronautics and Space Administration Prepared for Langley Research Center Langley Research Center • Hampton, Virginia 23681-0001 under Contract NAS1-19360 April 1996 Printed copies available from the following: NASA Center for AeroSpace Information National Technical Information Service (NTIS) 800 Elkridge Landing Road 5285 Port Royal Road Linthicum Heights, MD 21090-2934 Springfield, VA 22161-2171 (301) 621-0390 (703) 487-4650 Executive Summary This report describes the development of a database of aircraft fuel burned and emissions from scheduled air traffic for each month of 1992. In addition, the earlier results (NASA CR-4592) for May 1990 scheduled air traffic have been updated using improved algorithms. These emissions inventories were developed under the NASA High Speed Research Systems Studies (HSRSS) contract NAS1-19360, Task Assignment 53. They will be available for use by atmospheric scientists conducting the Atmospheric Effects of Aviation Project (AEAP) modeling studies. A detailed database of fuel burned and emissions [NOx, carbon monoxide(CO), and hydrocarbons (HC)] for scheduled air traffic has been calculated for each month of 1992. In addition, the emissions for May 1990 have been recalculated using the same methodology. The data are on a 1° latitude x 1° longitude x 1 km altitude grid.
