3 MINUTES June 1, 2016 DRAFT VISION QUIETER SKIES FOR OUR COMMUNITIES MISSION UTILIZING PARTNERSHIPS TO REDUCE AIRPORT NOISE FOR THE BENEFIT OF NEIGHBORING COMMUNITIES 1. CALL TO ORDER, ROLL CALL, and QUORUM: The meeting was called to order at 6:34 p.m.by Chair Harold Anderson. A quorum was present, which included: Arapahoe County: Thad Bagnato Foxfield; Dave Goddard Douglas County: Joe Fowler Greenwood Village: Karen Blilie Douglas County: Alison Biggs Lone Tree: Harold Anderson Aurora: Brad Pierce ACPAA: Mike Fronapfel Castle Pines: Rex Lucas AOPA: Robert Doubek Castle Rock: Julie Kirkpatrick CABA: Don Kuskie Centennial: Candace Moon FAA APA Control Tower: Diane Hanley Cherry Hills Village: Katy Brown Alternate Representatives Mike Acree for Douglas County, Porter Ingrum for Aurora, and Andrea Suhaka for Centennial, were also present. ACPAA staff member Aaron Repp was in attendance. Those absent were: Arapahoe County - Jim Dawkins; Parker Ryan McGee/Bryce Matthews; CDOT Aeronautics Division Todd Green; FAA District Office - Linda Bruce; and FAA TRACON - Gerald Huthoefer. 2. APPROVAL OF THE AGENDA: On the motion of Brad Pierce, duly seconded, the agenda was approved. INTRODUCTIONS: A warm welcome was extended to the new Representative from Castle Rock, Julie Kirkpatrick; Susan Squyer, who would be taking Harold Anderson s place representing Lone Tree; Dennis Fria, a previous CACNR Representative from the APA Control Tower who had recently returned to Centennial; and John Hirshman who could become the alternate from AOPA. 3. PUBLIC COMMENT: None. 4. CONSENT AGENDA: The Consent Agenda included the May 4, 2016 Draft Minutes and the Treasurer s Report as of May 27, The Treasurer s Report reflected no change from that received last month, with a balance of $4, On the motion of Katy Brown, duly seconded, the Consent Agenda was approved. 5. ITEM(S) REMOVED FROM CONSENT AGENDA: None. 6. FAA REPORT: A. District Office None. B. APA Air Traffic Control Tower Diane Hanley indicated the route used for midnight departures from Runway 35 is referenced as the Good Neighbor Departure, previously known as the Looop Departure. Those departures are only for turbo-jet aircraft that are on an RNAV route. A waypoint was recently published that is called STAPP which makes it easier for the controllers and the pilots to understand. Previously, the tower would have to issue a 010 heading to an ILS one mile DME, and then to a specific heading. This could be unnecessarily confusing. With the published waypoint, the controller just issues the pilot to fly to STAPP and then to the assigned heading. This is much easier to issue, and must easier for the pilots to understand. The process of having this route published had begun, and usually takes about eighteen months to complete. C. TRACON None. DRAFT Page 1 of 5 05/04/16

4 7. COMMITTEE REPORTS: A. Update on Committee Appointments The Chair announced the addition of Karen Blilie to the Community Outreach Committee; that committee still needed a chair. The Noise Monitors Committee also still needed a chair. Karen Blilie indicated her first choice for a committee had been Fly Quiet, and as she did not mind being on two committees, she was also appointed to that committee. B. Community Outreach No report from the committee, but Alison Biggs provided it with a list of possible contacts for updating the website, as well as contact information for the creator of the original version that had crashed. Karen Blilie indicated she had arranged to meet with someone who does websites, to ascertain what might be involved and the cost. C. Fly Quiet Three members of this Committee would be bringing detailed reports later in this meeting. D. Noise Monitors - Aaron Repp presented the noise report which contained information from April, There were 27,969 operations in April, up from 25,783 in March. Overall, the twelve noise monitors had recorded 23,912 noise events during April, up from 21,540 noise events in March, Noise events at each monitor were provided for April: 17,041 events were in the decibel range (15,783 in March) 5,943 events were in the decibel range (4,957 in March) 885 were in the decibel range (720) in March) 43 were in the 90+ decibel range (80 in March). There had been 7,402 noise events at the Golf Course monitor on airport property; 3,864 at the Meridian monitor; 3,251 events at the Airport East monitor on airport property; 1,938 at the State Park monitor; and 1,603 at the Parker monitor. Next in order, there were 1,510 at the Grandview Estates monitor; 1,078 at the Castle Rock monitor; 967 at the Lone Tree monitor; 845 at the Greenwood Village monitor; 676 at the Hunters Hill monitor; 546 at the Sagebrush Park monitor; and 232 at the Castle Pines monitor. Correlations between decibel levels at each monitor and noise complaints were not available. This report showed 979 total complaints (up from 736 in March and 677 in February). With the complaints from the top complaining household removed, there were 187 complaints in April, up from 115 in March and 99 in February. In descending numerical order, complaints came from Highlands Ranch, Greenwood Village, Unincorporated Douglas County, Unincorporated Arapahoe County, Centennial, Aurora, Parker, Lone Tree, Denver, Cherry Hills Village, Castle Pines and Castle Rock. Daytime noise complaints were the highest of the year, at 903, up from 664 in March and 613 in February. There had been 76 night time noise complaints, up from 72 in March and 64 in February. Daylight complaints were 92.2% of overall complaints; nighttime complaints were 7.8% of overall. With the complaints from the top complainer removed from the numbers, prop aircraft were responsible for 58% of the complaints by aircraft type. Departures continued to account for the most complaints (56%) Question was asked if something could be done to refine information about the times when complaints are. lodged. Response was that most seem to be about flights between 6:00 am 9:00 a.m. and 8:00 pm 9:00 pm. Question was asked if the operators using those hours might be tracked and identified so they could be asked to consider adjustments to their flight patterns. It was also noted this type of topic was included in parts of the CACNR Work Plan for consideration by committees. Request was again made for a return of the zone map which had shown the various zones around the airport and the complaints generated from each. Staff was working on recreating it, as it had apparently gotten lost in the transition between report types. DRAFT Page 2 of 5 05/04/16

5 Repp reported on one case which had generated complaints in the Parker area. One aircraft apparently had been making many bothersome flights toward Kansas at night. He had spoken with the operator in January, and showed the operator data and flight tracks. The operator had been more compliant in May. Although the number of flights had not diminished, apparently flights had shifted to other areas. No increase in complaints from other surrounding areas had been seen. Question was asked if the tower could distribute flights overall. Response was that headings come from radar approach control, so TRACON is the deciding factor. This was, however, an example of the airport being able to help one person who was having trouble with aircraft noise, without apparently causing problems in other areas. E. Work Program The Committee continued to work on the annual report and the 2016 Work Program. F. Study Group The group continued to work with information gathered at the U.C. Davis symposium. 8. OTHER REGULAR MONTHLY REPORTS: A. Arapahoe County Public Airport Authority ACPAA Chair Robert Doubek provided the following report from the May 12, 2016 ACPAA meeting: A Public hearing was held regarding an application from Steiner Aviation to conduct Aircraft Management The applicant specializes in aircraft maintenance management where the applicant contracts out his services instead of the aircraft owner staffing the position with its own employees. The applicant has 32 years of experience in this field and is currently managing several aircraft based on the airport. The application was approved. Of further interest, within The Consent Agenda, is a copy of a letter of agreement between the Airport and the Denver Radio controlled (R/C) Eagles Model Aircraft Club. Due to the recent popularity of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), better known as drones, the FAA has issued new requirements for their operation which includes remotely controlled model aircraft. Remotely controlled model aircraft have operated at Cherry Creek State Park for many years and its location is within five (5) miles of Centennial Airport. Regulations now require formal approval from the Airport Authority. The Letter of agreement includes many stipulations including that whenever any aircraft is flow within five miles of Centennial Airport, the Club must provide the Airport Authority and Centennial Airport air traffic control tower with prior notice of the operation. Furthermore, The Club enters into and establishes a mutually agreed upon operating procedure with the Centennial Airport air traffic control tower. Rjd 5/27/2016 There was considerable discussion about the situation with drones. Questions included what about those who fly remotely controlled aircraft/drones who do not belong to the model aircraft club mentioned; can the control tower disapprove of flights and how does that occur; are the notification requirements posted in obvious places where the general public and non-members of the model aircraft club will see them? Response was that anyone who flies such aircraft has to be registered and has to call in if flying within five miles of the airport. Staff indicated they would check further on the specifics related to this topic. B. Airport Director s Report Mike Fronapfel reported in the absence of Airport Director Robert Olislagers. He indicated CACNR would be notified when the grant for the runway maintenance project had been received and when work would commence. He did not anticipate there would be too much noise impact on the surrounding communities. In relation to the FAA s Metroplex project, he indicated there was nothing new, but there would be a need for input from the surrounding cities. Question was asked how those jurisdictions would know what to say when no draft or other information had been made available. Question was asked why another environmental assessment would be necessary when one was done in conjunction with RNAV; were there that many more operations since that time? It appeared the FAA may do many things but it does not always speak with those involved until it has determined what it wants to do, and then it is effectively too late for the input of others. It DRAFT Page 3 of 5 05/04/16

6 was noted that the FAA s attempts to focus on efficiencies and economy had seemingly opened a Pandora s Box in relation to the resulting noise. It was also noted in all of this, DIA takes precedence over every other airport in the area. Question was asked if Centennial Airport would be responding to the May 6, 2016 letter from the FAA Early Notification to Prepare an Environmental Assessment for the Denver Metroplex Project which had a date of June 7, 2016 for providing comments or questions. Response was unclear. It would be hard for CACNR communities/organizations to comment, as they had nothing specific to comment upon. C. N.O.I.S.E. Brad Pierce again noted the next N.O.I.S.E. meeting would be held in conjunction with the National League of Cities in Pittsburgh in November. He would get the exact date, and would provide more information to CACNR. He would be attending the NextGen Advisory Committee on June 17 in Washington, D.C., and would seek out anyone there from Denver or DIA. Attention was supposed to be given to PBN and Metroplex and efforts to get communities involved before changes were implemented, rather than having to deal with problems later. 9. OLD BUSINESS: A. Congressional Quiet Skies Caucus & Colorado Delegation The invitation letter to Congressman Ken Buck would go out during the month of June, over the signatures of both Harold Anderson and Brad Pierce. Emily Tranter of N.O.I.S.E. helps orient new members to that caucus. B. CACNR Representation to ACPAA Meetings Rex Lucas indicated he would be unable to attend the August 11, 2016 meeting of ACPAA, but could attend on September 8. Andrea Suhaka volunteered to fill the August slot, and the rescheduling was done accordingly. Candace Moon indicated she could take the November 10 meeting, so only the October 13 meeting remained without CACNR representation. C. Selected Airport Reports Three members of the Fly Quiet Committee had each contacted an airport to ask questions about how they handle noise issues, similar to the Adopt an Airport project CACNR had done several years ago. Harold Anderson reported on Addison Airport in the Dallas area, and Robert Doubek reported on Westchester County Airport in New York. Don Kuskie had contacted McClellan-Palomar Airport in San Diego County, California, and would bring his report to the July meeting. Addison Airport in Addison Texas, is 9 miles north of downtown Dallas, with 90,000+ annual operations and 700+ airport based aircraft. It is 644 feet above sea level and has one runway. The airport does not have a noise roundtable, and does not have a noise monitoring system. It does manage to obtain aviation agreements from everyone buying homes near the airport, so all homeowners expect aircraft noise. The airport contacts everyone who complains and gives them personal attention. The airport director refers to frequent complainers as Mental Health Self Referrals and believes having an automated complaint system encourages this type of problem for the airport. In the past, Addison utilized meetings between the airport, the public, the pilots, and the FBOs which resulted in the public starting to see the pilots and the FBOs as regular people who weren t deliberately causing noise. In addition, there was more understanding from the pilots about how residents in the area were affected by noise. A decrease in complaints was noted following the meeting. The airport also has an educational campaign, speaking with HOAs and other groups. Westchester County Airport (WCA) is located five miles east of White Plains, and 30 miles north of Manhattan. There are 19 other airports within a 50 mile radius of WCA. It is managed by a private operator, and is a public use airport. It has an twelve member advisory board, eight of whom are county residents appointed by the county board (five from specific towns and three at-large), one who is member of the county board of legislators, and the commissioners of public works, planning, and transportation. The airport is about 400 feet above sea level and has one main and one other runway. It has a noise abatement office with staff who monitor and measure compliance with its noise abatement procedures. WCA uses ANOMS, and there are 22 permanent noise monitors. It also provides a flight tracking system available to the noise office as well as to the general public. WCA averages 55 flights per day. The county has a strictly regulated flow of commercial aircraft and passengers, limiting terminal use to 240 scheduled passengers per half hour. It received a total of 1,484 noise complaints for 2015, compared to 6,636 at Centennial Airport. It has seven major noise abatement procedures DRAFT Page 4 of 5 05/04/16

7 listed in its brochure, which relate to: voluntary restraint from flying; high range noise events; intersection takeoff prohibition; maintenance runup restriction; limitation on the use of reverse thrust; advanced authorization to operate; and noise abatement paths for all runways. The airport is able to link complaints to noise levels to specific aircraft. Complaints at WCA are entered into ANOMS, and the noise office staff takes the data on the complaint, identifies the aircraft responsible and links it to the complaint, and informs the complainer if requested to do so. Those with over 50 complaints (per month or year?) will be entered into ANOMS, but will not be investigated or responded to with additional copies of radar flight tracks, etc. The full content of Mr. Doubek s 20 page report about WCA was not thoroughly discussed due to time constraints, but both his and Mr. Anderson s reports will be shared with CACNR s committees for their consideration and use. It was noted how hard it is to compare the different challenges faced by different airports which affect noise, including such things as the number of transients who utilize an airport, the number of flight schools, and the number of touch and goes conducted. 10. NEW BUSINESS: Robert Doubek indicated that, in September, Robert Olislagers would be receiving the 2016 Distinguished Service Award from the American Association of Airport Executives. 11. PUBLIC COMMENT: Michael Lewis, from the vicinity of S. Kenton Way and East Orchard, asked about the impact of the noise complaint process is anything ever done, or do residents ever get anything but an explanation of what caused the noise? He cited an example of a corporate jet seemingly about 300 feet over his residence about 10 days prior to this meeting. He called in the complaint, but wonders what can be done, if the aircraft noise situation has gotten out of control, and why there are no longer quiet hours. Airport staff had investigated, finding there had been no appreciable shift in air traffic, but that Mr. Lewis residence is about ¼ mile from the runway approach, so both arriving and departing traffic will be straight over him. Mr. Lewis indicated he had done some comparison with John Wayne airport which he felt might have better ways to mitigate noise for its surrounding neighbors. 12.

11 Overview 2 ABOUT APA S NOISE MONITORING PROGRAM Centennial Airport s (KAPA) Noise and Operations Monitoring System (ANOMS) is a new state of the art system that enables the Arapahoe County Public Airport Authority to monitor and better understand aircraft noise in the vicinity of Centennial Airport. This system is comprised of 12 fixed noise monitoring terminals in the community, as well as 2 portable monitors that are available for short term monitoring anywhere in the community. Page 2 of 12

12 3 ABOUT WEBTRAK As part of an ongoing program, Centennial Airport now offers an online tracking system for the movement of flights and air traffic patterns within the Denver Metro area. WebTrak Flight Tracking and Noise Information System allows concerned individuals to research data about flights to and from Centennial Airport, Denver International Airport, Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport, Front Range Airport and Buckley Air Force Base, as well as any transitional air traffic through the region. How to participate The general public may use WebTrak to investigate a noise or flight that occurred near their location. The system also simplifies the process of filing a noise complaint, offering an easy, online option for residents to register concerns regarding noise levels at the following web addresses: APA WebTrak: Centennial Airport Website: In addition, noise complaints can also be submitted on our noise hotline: APA Noise Hotline: Page 3 of 12

14 5 NOISE MONITOR REPORTS The following data displays the amount and associated decibel level of aircraft noise events at a given monitor. An aircraft noise event must contain the following characteristics: First, the noise event must exceed the ambient noise level. This number varies at every monitor, but is generally greater than 50-55db. Secondly, the noise event must last longer than 5 seconds. Lastly, using radar data, the system must correlate an aircraft with the noise event. This ensures that the sound is not associated with a community noise event such as a lawn mowers or emergency sirens. The information below reflects only aircraft noise events as described above.

23 Preamble Centennial Airport is one of more than 70 public-use, general aviation airports in the state of Colorado. The facility was opened in 1967 and has been owned and operated by the Arapahoe County Public Airport Authority (ACPAA) since The Airport s location along Interstate 25 next to the Denver Tech Center and a few miles south of downtown Denver makes it a key element of the economic vitality of the Denver metropolitan area. Numerous companies have chosen to locate their corporate headquarters near the Airport to take advantage of the convenience, facilities, and services that the Airport has to offer. Centennial Airport is home to more than 800 fixed-based aircraft. This ever increasing number includes a mix of single-engine, multi-engine, turboprops, jets, and helicopters. Four fixed-base operators (FBOs) provide a full spectrum of services for both the locally based and transient pilot communities. With approximately 320,000 annual take-offs and landings on three runways, Centennial Airport ranks among the busiest general aviation airports in the United States. The Airport s mission is safety, security and service for the general aviation community. In 1998, ACPAA initiated a voluntary FAA 14 Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) Part 150 Noise Compatibility Program (NCP) to analyze and examine community noise impacts from Centennial Airport aircraft operations. The need for a plan was due in part to the rapid commercial and residential growth in the airport environs and the on-going increase in airport operations. The outcome of the five-year study to develop a plan produced a list of 12 recommendations. Those recommendations included several key actions, such as establishing a Fly Quiet Program, installing an aircraft noise monitoring system, and creating an advisory body to address aircraft noise issues impacting the communities surrounding Centennial Airport and to monitor programs implemented as a result of the adoption of the ACPAA Noise Compatibility Program, including the Fly Quiet Program guidelines and the Noise Monitoring Program. That body became known as the Centennial Airport Community Noise Roundtable (CACNR). CACNR was formed in May, 2009 to make recommendations to ACPAA to reduce and mitigate the noise impacts that users of the airport create on surrounding communities. Through its membership of locally appointed community representatives, the ACPAA, airport users, and key staff from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) Division of Aeronautics, CACNR acts as a forum that attempts to achieve cooperation between all of these groups in accomplishing airport noise reduction. CACNR held its first formal meeting on July 15, 2009, and at that time, its purpose was further delineated as shown below, with the adoption of a statement of purpose developed by an ACPAA-retained consultant. This Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) formalizes an agreement among the Members to officially create CACNR. The document specifies the purpose and objectives of CACNR and provides guidance on membership criteria, operations and support, and the procedure to amend the MOU. This document shall be considered the foundation document for the creation of CACNR, replaces all previous creating documents, and is intended to act as the instrument that provides focus and guidance for the on-going activities of the organization. Article I. Creation of the CACNR Organization/Purpose/Objectives 1. Creation of the Organization This MOU formally creates an advisory body to be known as the Centennial Airport Community Noise Roundtable (CACNR) for the purpose and objectives stated below via the Agreement and Membership criteria stated herein.

24 2. Purpose CACNR is a voluntary association of ACPAA, neighboring communities, federal and state agencies, and airport users, created to monitor programs implemented as a result of the adoption of the ACPAA Noise Compatibility Program, including the Fly Quiet Program guidelines and the noise monitoring program, and to address aircraft noise issues impacting the communities surrounding Centennial Airport. In an interactive, and collaborative open forum, CACNR will seek to identify the dimension of the noise issues, discover possible mitigation actions, find opportunities for implementation, and evaluate the effectiveness of the mitigations. While CACNR s initial efforts in the development and implementation of a Work Program will be directed to noise issues associated with current aircraft operations, consideration of future noise issues also will be addressed, including interaction with noise roundtable activities at other airports. 3. Objectives A. Continue to organize, administer, and operate CACNR to develop, evaluate, and pursue implementation of reasonable and feasible policies, programs, procedures, and other relevant actions by the appropriate agencies to reduce the noise impacts from aircraft operations at Centennial Airport. B. Maintain CACNR as a focal point of information and discussion between local, state, and federal legislators and policy makers regarding noise impacts in local neighborhoods and communities from airport/aircraft operations. C. Develop and implement a CACNR Work Program to further its purpose, including but not limited to: 1) analyzing and evaluating the impacts of aircraft noise on affected communities, and 2) making recommendations to appropriate agencies, including ACPAA, regarding implementation of effective aircraft noise mitigation actions. D. Maintain communication and cooperation between CACNR, ACPAA, airport staff, and local governments (cities, towns, and counties) regarding: 1) local agency land use and zoning decisions within noise-sensitive and/or overflight areas, while recognizing local government autonomy to make those decisions, and 2) decisions/actions that affect current and future on-airport development, while recognizing ACPAA s autonomy to make those decisions. ARTICLE II. Terms of Agreement The signatories to this MOU agree to: A. Accept in concept and spirit the formal creation of and continuing operation of CACNR as described in Article I herein. B. Continue to work cooperatively with all stakeholders to reduce noise impacts on affected neighborhoods and communities from aircraft operations at Centennial Airport. C. Provide the necessary resources to enable CACNR to carry out its on-going efforts to achieve effective aircraft noise reduction and mitigation as addressed in this Agreement. D. Inform their respective constituencies of CACNR S activities and actions to reduce aircraft noise impacts. E. Not support actions that shift noise related to aircraft operations at Centennial Airport from one community to another.
