2. Airport Noise Compatibility Study Group Navigation Committee ABATEMENT CROSSWALK ·Structural measures ·Control measures ·Procedural measures ·Management measures ·Evaluative measures ·Air Traffic Control ·Approach & Departure Procedures ·Operator Procedures ·Airport Policies and Regulations ·Program Management

3. Airport Noise Compatibility Study Group Navigation Committee STRUCTURAL MEASURES ·offset path for approach to 17R, departure from 35L ·extended approach fixes and departure turn points for higher maneuvering altitudes ·optimized flight corridors following river and major highways ·waypoints to guide traffic in corridors, rather than radar vectors ·navaids as required to define waypoints ·navigational standards for fleet ·runway extension for higher north departure on 35L; displaced south arrival on 17R held pending cost/benefit analysis

4. Airport Noise Compatibility Study Group Navigation Committee CONTROL MEASURES ·prefer* south flow, except as provided below ·from 0930-1230, prefer* north flow ·for operations north of the airfield, prefer* runway 17R with offset for arrivals, 35L with offset for departures ·retain current operations south of the airfield (no runway preference*; diverge from 17R according to traffic & destination) ·retain/enhance contraflow program ·minimize exceptions to contraflow * “prefer” means according to the same criteria used now for weather, runway conditions and traffic load, recognizing that peak operations typically require both runways if available

5. Airport Noise Compatibility Study Group Navigation Committee PROCEDURAL MEASURES ·publish standardized arrival, departure procedures ·provide for uniform descent at safe (3º) slope; discontinue current altitude exceptions ·grant visual approach clearance only after aircraft pass final approach fixes ·publish preferred noise abatement procedures in approach and departure plates ·prefer uniform descent procedures for arrivals ·prefer distant abatement procedures for departures ·continue current run-up restrictions

6. Airport Noise Compatibility Study Group Navigation Committee MANAGEMENT MEASURES ·establish airport noise office ·community noise forum to succeed Study Group (same construct) ·maintain Website and information centers ·reinforce communications and liaison links with staff, carriers, controllers, government agencies, media, and public ·equip noise office with hardware and software for effective monitoring and evaluation ·develop real-time runway use decision aids, with common access for management, ATC, carriers, and community

7. Airport Noise Compatibility Study Group Navigation Committee EVALUATIVE MEASURES ·establish flight track monitoring system ·provide for sample noise monitoring ·maintain fleet lists for ·exceptions to noise abatement program (i.e. light aircraft) ·navigational performance capability ·develop and tabulate data sets for various metrics ·conduct in-house noise modeling ·document and evaluate emerging technologies and measures for potential application

8. Airport Noise Compatibility Study Group Navigation Committee ASSESSMENTS ·airfield capacity & delay ·air traffic control issues ·aircraft operational and economic issues ·cost analysis ·financial feasibility...must be applied to entire package!

9. Airport Noise Compatibility Study Group Navigation Committee A “PUNCH LIST” ·capacity and delay issues ·chapter draft reviews ·contraflow management program ·cost/benefit assessments ·approach procedures ·displaced threshold analysis ·updated airport economic impact ·new technology documentation ·revised fleet forecast ·navigational capabilities list ·data collection/metrics ·runway extension update ·runway use figures ·scope issues, e.g. tech memos ·revised UofL impact ·workbook updates
