Portable Noise Monitoring Report SAN FRANCISCO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT CITY & COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO MEMORANDUM TO: EAST PALO ALTO COMMUNITY FROM: SAN FRANCISCO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT AIRCRAFT NOISE OFFICE SUBJECT: 2020 EAST PALO ALTO NOISE MONITORING REPORT #2 DATE: MAY 21, 2021 The San Francisco International Airport (SFO) Aircraft Noise Abatement Office conducted aircraft noise monitoring in East Palo Alto to determine noise levels within the community from aircraft operations at SFO. This measurement period was from December 16, 2020 to December 29, 2020. The monitoring was made possible with the assistance of the City of East Palo Alto Public Works Director and Engineering Staff. The overall average daily noise level from all aircraft was 48dBA CNEL. The Community daily noise level was 59dBA CNEL. The noise monitor thresholds were 60dBA for daytime and 53dBA for nighttime. The monitoring site on University Avenue had exposure to roadway traffic on University Avenue. The site was located in a busy area but was situated on a roof so that it was exposed to less community noise. The ambient noise level of the site was 54dBA. On an average day there were 405 overflights, out of which 62 exceeded the noise monitor threshold and recorded a noise event. The majority of flights was traffic out of nearby Palo Alto Airport (PAO) and SFO arrivals merging onto the final approach course for Runways 28L and 28R. Most of the SFO arrivals overflew at altitudes between 3,500 feet and 4,500 feet. SFO traffic represented approximately 45% of all aircraft noise events over the area. Approximately 49% of aircraft noise events were attributed to general aviation operations out of PAO. Other significant flights included air traffic from Oakland International Airport (OAK), general aviation traffic from San Carlos Airport (SQL), and traffic from other airports which each attributed approximately 2% of aircraft noise events. The monitoring site lies approximately 1.5 mi from PAO. These flights that practice local pattern work at the airport or flew westbound and returned to the airport passed near the site. Arrivals from the south heading to SQL traversed the site while SQL departures operated between PAO and the airport. Non-aircraft sources of noise included loud vehicular traffic, frequent sirens from firetrucks leaving the fire station down the street, heating/cooling equipment on the same rooftop, construction noise, and gardening maintenance activities such as leaf blowing, tree trimming, and lawn mowing. During the noise monitoring period, the SFO Aircraft Noise Abatement Office received 241 noise reports from 2 East Palo Alto residents. The majority of SFO Aircraft noise events and noise reports occurred between 8:00 am and 5:00 pm. On average, there was about 3 SFO aircraft noise events per night during the monitoring period. Even though the monitoring location in East Palo Alto was located in a busy area with ambient noise of about 54dB, aircraft noise may be a nuisance for residents living in quieter areas of the city. dB - stands for decibel. The decibel measures the loudness of a sound and is computed as the signal-to-noise ratio. dBA - stands for A-weighted decibel. A-weighting is used to adjust for the frequency range to account for human hearing. California Code of Regulations Title 21 requires the use of A-weighting when assessing aircraft noise exposure. CNEL - is used to assess and regulate aircraft noise exposure in communities surrounding California airports. California Code of Regulations Title 21 establishes the acceptable level of aircraft noise at 65dBA CNEL. West Plan - Standard operations at the Bay Area International Airports. Aircraft arrive to the west at all three airports. At San Jose and Oakland Airports, aircraft depart to the west. While at San Francisco Airport, aircraft depart either to the north or to the west depending on wind conditions on the airfield. TRUKN and NIITE - RNAV departure procedures off Runways 28L/R at SFO, has aircraft climb heading of 284° to 520 feet then right turn to initial fix. These procedures replaced the legacy departures procedures SHORELINE and QUIET, respectively.

  • FAA Annual Runway Safety Report 2009
    Air Traffic Organization Annual Runway Federal Aviation Administration 800 Independence Avenue, SW Safety Report 2009 Washington, DC 20591 2009-AJS-129 A Message from the FAA Administrator Dear Colleagues: We’re making progress on the issue of runway safety, but as an agency and as an industry, we need to do more. This report details the strides we’ve made over the last year. It also includes our next steps to take what is arguably one of the safest locations in all of aviation— a U.S. runway— and make it safer still. In the long term, runway safety is very, very good. Last year, we had 25 serious runway incursions. That’s out of more than 58 million operations. Serious runway incursions have dropped by more than half since 2001. Nine of those 25 serious incursions last year involved commercial aircraft. The 25 incursions were up one from the previous year, which was an all-time low. But the 2008 totals show that we must increase our vigilance. Last year, runway incursions of all types increased by some 13 percent over 2007, rising from 891 to 1,009. So far in fiscal year 2009, the data look promising with a projected drop in total incursions for the full year by some five percent and an accompanying reduction in serious incursions by at least 50 percent. These data are encouraging. But while the actual runway incursion numbers are still a very thin slice of overall operations, as an aviation professional, I believe that very good is still not good enough.

    FAA Runway Safety Report Safety Runway FAA Runway Safety Report September 2007 September 2007 September Federal Aviation Administration 800 Independence Avenue SW Washington, DC 20591 www.faa.gov OK-07-377 Message from the Administrator The primary mission of the Federal Aviation Administration is safety. It’s our bottom line. With the aviation community, we have developed the safest mode of transportation in the history of the world, and we are now enjoying the safest period in aviation history. Yet, we can never rest on our laurels because safety is the result of constant vigilance and a sharp focus on our bottom line. Managing the safety risks in the National Airspace System requires a systematic approach that integrates safety into daily operations in control towers, airports and aircraft. Using this approach, we have reduced runway incursions to historically low rates over the past few years, primarily by increasing awareness and training and deploying new technologies that provide critical information directly to flight crews and air traffic controllers. Other new initiatives and technologies, as outlined in the 2007 Runway Safety Report, will provide a means to an even safer tomorrow. With our partners, FAA will continue working to eliminate the threat of runway incursions, focusing our resources and energies where we have the best chance of achieving success. To the many dedicated professionals in the FAA and the aviation community who have worked so tirelessly to address this safety challenge, I want to extend our deepest gratitude and appreciation for the outstanding work you have done to address this ever-changing and ever-present safety threat.

  • Runway 29 Turbojet Arrivals
    Aircraft Over Flight and Noise Analysis At Norwood Drive Hayward, CA Prepared by Noise/Environmental Management Office Port of Oakland February 28, 2012 Norwood Drive Report Page 1 of 17 Aircraft Over Flight and Noise Analysis Norwood Drive, Hayward, CA The residents on Norwood Drive began registering their aircraft noise concerns with the airport during the fall of 2010. The residents expressed their belief that aircraft overflights and noise had increased dramatically over the past year or so. In response to these concerns, Oakland International Airport, the Noise/Environmental Management Office performed a comprehensive aircraft over flight and noise study. Aircraft Noise Terminology/Metrics Appendix A defines the aircraft noise terminology used in this report. Location and Concerns Norwood Drive, Hayward is located approximately 11 miles southeast of Oakland International Airport. (See Figure 1.) This neighborhood lies generally below the straight-in final approach course for Runway 27L/R and the Pacific Northwest arrivals into Runway 29, at Oakland International Airport. This final approach course has been used since the runway opened in 1962. Aircraft Flight Information Runway 29 is used for aircraft arrivals and departures when the Bay Area is being operated in the West Plan air traffic pattern. Air traffic patterns are a function of the wind conditions and the prevailing winds are blowing from the west and northwest in the Bay Area the majority of the time. The West Plan air traffic pattern is maintained by FAA Air Traffic Control about 90% of the time throughout the year; otherwise the Southeast Plan is in effect. When the Southeast Plan is in effect, Runway 11 is used and aircraft arrive from the north and northeast and depart to the south and southeast.
