Part 150 Update Status and Recommendation Presentation to: Noise Compatibility Committee October 26, 2010 Ted Baldwin
2 Topics Part 150 background Project status Noise Exposure Map Noise Compatibility Program How to proceed HMMH and staff direction recommendation Naples Airport Authority direction Potential next steps
3 A brief refresher: What is Part 150? Voluntary federal program Defines standards for conducting comprehensive noise studies Noise Exposure Map defines noise problem Population in Day-Night Average Sound Level (DNL) contours Forecast for base year and five-year forecast Noise Compatibility Program recommends solutions Noise abatement: operational and airport layout Compatible land use: corrective and preventive FAA approves individual measures Naples has conducted four Part 150 studies Three full NEMs and NCPs (1987, 1997, 1998) One NEM only (2000 precursor to Stage 2 ban Part 161 ) Have led to comprehensive Noise Compatibility Program
4 Current Study: Noise Exposure Map Status Final NEM submitted to FAA for acceptance All FAA comments have been addressed Includes official contour maps for 2010 and 2015 Informational contours for 2020, and March and August 2010 Contours are based on FAA-approved forecasts Forecast 2010, 2015, and 2020 contours represent a worse case than current situation; i.e., are conservatively large Period Approx. Oper ns Population in 60 DNL FY 2005 actual (peak year) 163,000 1,306 10/09 9/10 actual 86,000 not available CY 2010 forecast 115,000 106 CY 2015 forecast 129,000 198 CY 2020 forecast 141,000 657
Change from Prior Noise Exposure Map 2005 DNL from previous (2000) Part 150 2010 forecast conditions (black) Actual exposure is even less, since FY 2010 operations are 25% less than forecast for CY 2010. 5
The Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) has reached consensus on most noise abatement alternatives Preferential runway use Continue existing preference for Rwy 5 departures and 23 arrivals Jet noise abatement departure procedure ( NADP ) Continue promoting National Business Aviation Ass n Close-In NADP Noise abatement flight tracks Pursue standard instrument departures (SIDs) for preferred corridors Runway 5: Continue existing right turn to 060º Runway 14: Continue existing left turn along Davis Boulevard Runway 32: Continue existing right turn along greenway Runway 23: No TAC consensus - All objective noise analyses support existing right turn over Fifth Ave. Arrivals should stay at or above published approach angles Follow Precision Approach Path Indicator (PAPI) light guidance No TAC consensus on Runway 5/23 modifications All objective noise analyses support 6
7 Land Use Alternatives Analysis Previous Part 150 recommended City and County adopt measures to prevent new non-compatible land use Stage 2 ban hinged on enforcement Montgomery Consulting Group (subcontractor) has reviewed current implementation City and County continue to implement conscientiously Administration and coordination with NAA could be streamlined No need for additional measures identified
8 Recommendation All analyses to date indicate continuing the Part 150 would support continuing measures HMMH and NAA staff recommendation: Apply resources to improving implementation of existing measures Pursue precise Standard Instrument Departures ( SIDs ) Pursue formal FAA procedures to direct pilots to stay at or above published approach angles Coordinate with City and County to optimize administration of existing compatible land use measures October 21, 2010 meeting HMMH and staff presented recommendation Authority voted to accept contingent on hearing input from NCC Paving the Runway 5/23 safety areas is a separate issue
9 SIDs are of greatest interest What is a SID? A preplanned instrument flight rule (IFR) air traffic control (ATC) departure procedure (DP) Designed to expedite traffic flow and reduce ATC / pilot workload SIDS come in several forms, of varying precision Radar ATC directs pilots to follow radar vectors Non-RNAV Follow ground-based navigational aids (NAVAIDS) RNAV For aircraft with area NAVigation avionics Usually based on global positioning system (GPS) guidance Key element of Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) offers an excellent case study
RSW Case Study Runway 24 Departures on ALICO THREE SID Traditional SID utilizes ground-based NAVAIDS and radar vectors Objective is to fly over east-west Alico commercial corridor Pre-FLOWCAR (Florida West Coast Airspace Redesign) Departures February 15-29, 2008 10
RSW Case Study Runway 24 Departures on CSHEL FOUR RNAV SID RNAV procedure significantly improves adherence to Alico corridor Post-FLOWCAR Departures February 1- March 3, 2009 11
RNAV procedures would provide much tighter adherence to centers of corridors Corridors reflect typically observed full width of RNAVbased SIDs. As in RSW example, most aircraft would be in center of corridor. 12
Major steps to pursue SIDs and approach procedures Consultation with FAA on required steps Pursuing SIDs likely will require multi-step process May require initial non-rnav guidance leading to RNAV SIDS Voluntary GPS-based procedures Published SIDs using ground-based NAVAIDs Published RNAV SIDS Potential milestones: Consultation with FAA to define specific scope 4 th quarter 2010 Develop draft SIDs present at January 2011 meeting Assist NAA to access data from upcoming ADS-B installation For use in monitoring compliance January or as soon as installation complete Present draft SIDs to FAA 1 st quarter 2011 Present feedback to NCC April 2011 meeting Others to be determined 13
