Fly-Quiet Operational Data Reports Logan International Airport s Operational and Fly Quiet Data Reporting Program is a Massport/Massport CAC initiative to be implemented by Massports s Noise Abatement Office. Its purpose is to provide data in an easily understood format in support of reasonably obtainable noise mitigation opportunities, and to encourage individual airlines to operate as quietly as possible at BOS. The suggested category of reports in priority order are: 1. Fleet Noise Quality 2. Dwell & Persistence 3. Noise Exceedance 4. Departure & Arrival Quality 5. Ground Noise 6. Historical Comparisons 12/07/2017 Massport CAC 14
Operational Data Report Description 1. Fleet Noise Quality The Fly Quiet Program Fleet Noise Quality Rating evaluates the noise contribution of each airline s fleet as it actually operates at BSO. Airlines generally own a variety of aircraft types and schedule them according to both operational and marketing considerations. Fly Quiet assigns a higher rating or grade to airlines operating quieter, new generation aircraft, while airlines operating older, louder technology aircraft would rate lower. The goal of this measurement is to fairly compare airlines not just by the fleet they own, but by the frequency that they schedule and fly particular aircraft into BOS. 12/07/2017 Massport CAC 15
Operational Data Report Description 2. Dwell and Persistence The dwell and persistence rating tabulates and compares the incidence of excessive short term and long term exposure to aircraft overflights by community. The purpose is to inform discussion of the relative impact of the events per day of aircraft overflights. The data would be presented both as a relative comparison between communities, and events per day per community. The data is weighted by frequency of over flights i.e., a succession of frequent events or dwell, persistence over time i.e., continuation of existing conditions, and, time of event ie. waking vs sleeping hours. Compliance with noise abatement procedure. 12/07/2017 Massport CAC 16
Operational Data Report Description 3. Noise Exceedance Eliminating high-level noise events is a long-standing goal of the Airport and the Massport CAC. As a result, the Airport has established relative single event maximum noise level limits at each noise-monitoring site. These thresholds were set to identify aircraft producing noise levels higher than are typical for the majority of the operations. Whenever an aircraft overflight produces a noise level higher than the maximum decibel value established for a particular monitoring site, the noise threshold is surpassed, and a noise exceedance occurs. An exceedance may take place during approach, takeoff, or possibly during departure ground roll before lifting off. Noise exceedances are logged by the exact operation along with the aircraft type and airline name. 12/07/2017 Massport CAC 17
Operational Data Report Description 4. Departure and Arrival Quality Aircraft departing BOS using Runways 4R, 9, 15R, 22R, 27 and 33L are also considered by the Fly Quiet grading system that measure deviation from gate coordinates and established altitudes. The gates are established to create corridors that keep noise away from residential properties, over water and at higher altitudes when crossing impacted residential neighborhoods. In order to evaluate each airline s performance, the system will log deviation from established gates and expected minimum altitudes for each departure route scored according to the deviation from the gate or altitude with negative scores for aircraft that deviate from the gates by closer approaches to and/or lower altitudes over populated areas. Deviations are logged by the exact operation along with the aircraft type and airline name shown as a graph of descending order of deviation. 12/07/2017 Massport CAC 18
Massport CAC Resolution with Respect to Operational Data Reports Motion: Massport Community Advisory Committee ( MCAC ) requests the Massachusetts Port Authority collaborate with the MCAC in the development of easy-tounderstand, quantifiable operational data reports, and where appropriate, grade airlines, flight personnel, controllers and Massport on noise reduction performance and lead to noise reduction initiatives over time. The following reports in priority order are requested: 1. Fleet Noise Quality 2. Dwell & Persistence 3. Noise Exceedance 4. Departure & Arrival Quality 5. Ground Noise 6. Historical Comparisons DICUSSION ONLY. NO ACTION ON THIS MOTION DUE TO LACK OF QUORUM. MASSPORT COMMUNICATED A DESIRE TO DEVEOP REPORTS AND WORK COLLABORATIVELY WITH MCAC. 12/07/2017 Massport CAC 19
