Noise Exposure Map What Is It? FAR Part 150 Documentation Describes Airport Layout and Operation Details Aircraft-Related Noise Exposure Discusses Land Uses in Airport Environs Presents Resulting Noise/Land Use Compatibility Aircraft-Related Noise Exposure for Two Years Years 2002 and 2007 Graphic Depiction of Noise Exposure and Land Uses Documentation of Data Collection and Analysis Public Involvement in Process

Noise Exposure Map Noise Measurements Not FAA Requirement Objectives Measure Cumulative Noise Exposure for Comparison to Noise Contours Sample Aircraft Single-Event Noise Levels in Community Address Community Concerns Regarding Aircraft Noise Exposure Measured at Nine Sites Three Sites for 24 Hours + Six Sites Focused on Single-Event Levels

Noise Exposure Map Noise Modeling Develop CNEL Contours for Annual Average Day Use FAA Integrated Noise Model (INM) and Following Inputs Physical Description of Airport Layout Aircraft Operation Mix and Number Operations Split into Day-Evening-Night by Aircraft Aircraft Noise and Performance Characteristics Runway Utilization Rates Typical Flight Track Descriptions and Utilization Rates Validate Model with Measurements

Noise Exposure Map 2002 CNEL Contours

Noise Exposure Map 2007 CNEL Contours

Noise Exposure Map Land Use Analysis Determine Incompatible Land Use Areas County and Municipality Land Use Plans Land Use Categories Areas Inside the 65-dB CNEL Contour Acreage Population Affected Basis for Noise Mitigation Analysis and Noise Compatibility Plan

Noise Exposure Map Public Involvement Regularly Scheduled Public Meetings Communication with Government Officials Comments from Public and Government Officials Used in Development of Documentation

Noise Exposure Map Presented for Review Defines Noise Environment and Starting Point for Development of Noise Compatibility Program NEM Draft Formalized After This Meeting and Submitted to FAA for Approval 180-Day FAA Review Period

Meeting Agenda 7:00 PM Welcome & Introductions 7:05 PM Review Noise Exposure Map 7:25 PM Discuss Noise Mitigation and Abatement Measures 8:00 PM Open Floor for Discussion 8:55 PM What’s Next 9:00 PM Adjourn

Noise Mitigation and Abatement Measures Start of Noise Compatibility Program Process Assess Existing and Potential New Noise Abatement and Mitigation Measures FAR Part 150 Requires Considering: Land Acquisition Barriers, Shielding, Public Building Soundproofing Preferential Runway System Flight Procedures Restrictions on Type/Class of Aircraft Other Actions with Beneficial Impact Other FAA Recommendations

Noise Mitigation and Abatement Measures Reviewed Existing Measures Derived Potential New Measures Unsigned Letter of Agreement Between FAA and RHV Three Previous Public Meetings RHV Staff Consultant Staff

Noise Mitigation and Abatement Measures Screened Potential New Measures and Eliminated Measures that: Will Not Reduce Noise Exposure Are Not an Option Under the Terms of FAR Part 150 Will Not Likely Obtain FAA Approval Are Not Feasible at RHV

Noise Mitigation and Abatement Measures Recommended for Further Analysis Preferential Runway Use Quiet One Procedure Revision Voluntary Flight Operations Limitations -Departures –Between 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. -Touch-and-Go –Monday - Friday 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. –Saturday 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. –Sunday 12:00 p.m. (Noon) to 5:00 p.m.

Noise Mitigation and Abatement Measures Recommended for Further Analysis (Continued) New Engine Run-up Area for Twin Engine Aircraft Use of Minimum Power Settings on Departure Sound Barrier at Western Edge of RHV

Noise Mitigation and Abatement Measures Recommended for Further Analysis (Continued) Prohibiting Intersection Departures, Formation Arrivals and Departures, Low-Level Fly-Bys (Except Gear Checks), Simulated Emergencies Standard Glide Slope Arrival Procedures Aircraft Engine Silencer/Muffler Systems Corrective and Preventive Land Use Strategies

Implementation Program Potential tools or continuing program measures that may be used to implement, maintain, and monitor the final recommended measures: Encourage pilots to use AOPA’s “Fly Friendly” techniques Encourage flight training schools to train pilots in the “Fly Friendly” techniques Establish an airport/airport user/community noise committee to discuss noise issues on a quarterly basis Continually publish the RHV noise complaint line

Implementation Program (cont.) Install noise monitors in the RHV environs to measure and compare unusual or high-level aircraft noise events with a voice recorder system Install a radar flight track collection system to match aircraft noise events to flight tracks Designate a person at RHV to respond to noise complaints, investigate noise exceedances, and notify operators of their noise exceedances

Implementation Program (cont.) Establish a sound insulation program to insulate homes inside the dB CNEL contour Acquire the mobile home park through land acquisition and provide relocation assistance to displaced residents Develop an airport noise impact boundary to: -Monitor new land use proposals to ensure they are reviewed by the ALUC and that the ALUP is enforced -Investigate developing real estate disclosures for property purchases

Implementation Program (cont.) Update the RHV Part 150 NEM and NCP within five years of FAA approval or sooner if needed Update and distribute the pilot handout with the FAA-approved noise abatement measures Revise the on-airport noise abatement signs to reflect the FAA-approved noise abatement measures Maintain information about RHV’s noise abatement program on the County’s web site
