EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

DISCLAIMER

This report contains a summary of data collected over the specified period and is intended to convey the best

information available from the NFPMS at the time. The system databases are to some extent dependent upon external

sources and errors may occur. All care is taken in preparation of the report but its complete accuracy can not be

guaranteed. Airservices Australia does not accept any legal liability for any losses arising from reliance upon data in

this report which may be found to be inaccurate.

This report presents a summary of data for the period January to March (Quarter 1) 2011 collected

by the Noise and Flight Path Monitoring System (NFPMS) at Canberra Airport.

During quarter 1 of 2011 the Canberra NFPMS detected 6,463 arrivals and 6,438 departures, a total

of 12,901 movements, which is 6.3% below the average for the previous 12

months (4 quarters). Of the 6,438 departures 86.7% used the preferred departure runway 35. Note

the decrease in jet movements for quarter 1 over the previous 12 months was 5.4%. The total number

of movements in quarter 1 of 2011 resulted in a decrease of 648 movements compared to the same

quarter of the previous year.

The noise monitor at Jerrabomberra detected 3,079 aircraft noise events above 70 dB(A) for quarter

1 of 2011. This corresponds to a daily average (or N70 value) of 34.3 (the quarter 4 value was 38.5)

a 10.0% decrease over the average for the previous 12 months. The noise levels for individual

aircraft types detected at the Jerrabomberra noise monitor were approximately the same (that is

within 1 standard deviation) as those recorded over the previous 12 months. The noisiest aircraft

during this quarter was the Boeing - 767-300 on arrival to runway 35 with an LAmax value of 74.1

dB(A).

In rare circumstances, data within the NFPMS may be updated that can cause slight changes to historic data that has been previously published.

1. INTRODUCTION

Under its environmental responsibilities, Airservices Australia (AA) has established a Noise and

Flight Path Monitoring System (NFPMS) at Australia's major airports. An overview of the NFPMS is

shown in Appendix A. A map displaying all noise and flight path monitoring locations in Australia is

shown in Figure 1.

This report is a summary of data collected by the Canberra segment of the system over the first

quarter (January to March) 2011 and some comparisons with the results from previous quarters. The

data used within this report has been obtained from an upgraded NFPMS system. As a result, some

slight changes to the presented graphics may exist.

2. NMT LOCATIONS AND NOISE DATA SUMMARIES

The Canberra component of the NFPMS has a permanent Noise Monitoring Terminal (NMT) located in the suburb of Jerrabomberra south of Canberra Airport. The location of this NMT (red dot) is shown in Figure 2.

Each MNT measures the average noise level which includes non-aircraft noise as well as aircraft

noise. As well as the average noise exposure each NMT detects aircraft noise events. When the

level and duration of noise from any noise source in the vicinity of a NMT exceed the threshold level and duration, which have been set for the NMT, a “noise event” is recorded. The time at which the noise event is recorded at the NMT location is then checked against movement times and radar tracks of aircraft operating within a cylinder with the base centre at the NMT, correlation zone. If the time and NMT location of the noise event match the movement time and radar track of an aircraft, the noise event is attributed to that aircraft, i.e. it becomes a “correlated noise event” (CNE). Otherwise, it is regarded as part of the background noise. When determining the noise exposure levels for aircraft it is the CNE that are used. The Jerrabomberra NMT (red dot) and it's correlation zone (red circle) is shown in Figure 2.

The A-weighted average noise exposure levels (LAeq) for the entire quarter and for the night period (23:00 to 6:00 each day) at the NMT are contained in Table 1, the night values are in brackets. These noise levels encompass the whole environment (including aircraft) as measured at each NMT. Also included in Table 1 are the number of correlated noise events (CNE), and the N70, N80 and N90 values for each NMT during the quarter. N70 is calculated by dividing the total number of CNE equal to or greater than 70 dB(A) detected during the quarter by the number of days in the quarter that the NMT is in operation (Op Days). For N80 and N90 the noise threshold is 80 dB(A) and 90 dB(A) respectively.

Appendix B includes graphs showing the daily value of N70 at the Jerrabomberra NMT excluding days where the NMT was not operational for a full 24 hours. In some cases the NMT may suffer a hardware outage, for example during routine maintenance. The caption under the graph details such outages for the NMT during the quarter. The distribution of N70 values is also included in Appendix B.

3. QUARTERLY TRACK DATA

3.1. Quarterly track density plots.

The quarterly track density plot is a map which displays the pattern of aircraft flight tracks passing over the region around the airport during the quarter. The system analyses the number of flights passing over each grid element of an array defined by the user. Grid elements of 200m x 200m have been adopted as a standard. The track density plot takes into account all aircraft and provides a useful indication of the general patterns of the flight operations.

Figure 3 shows the quarterly track density plot for all aircraft operations for the first quarter of 2011. The colour coding from green to red represents the range 180 to 1800 flight tracks (ie. 2 per day to 20 or more per day) over a grid element. If any grid element is not colour-coded, the number of aircraft flight tracks passing over that element during the quarter was less than 180, ie. less than 2 flights per day on average. The grey circles within Figure 3 show the location of each NMT.

For comparison purposes, the quarterly track density plot for jet operations only for the quarter is shown in Figure 4.

3.2. Jet track plots.

Plots of actual tracks for arrivals and departures of individual aircraft typse or groups can also be obtained from the system. Figures 5 and 6 show the track plots for jet arrivals and departures over the one-week period 2nd to 8th March 2011. These tracks have been coloured according to the aircraft height above ground level. Note that using the upgraded NFPMS, Figures 5 and 6 present track plots in height above ground level. This is slightly different to the previous system where track plots were presented in altitude (height above sea level). Canberra Airport is approximately 2000ft above mean sea level:

• Red when less than 1000ft• Orange between 1000ft and 3000ft• Yellow between 3000ft and 5000ft• Green above 5000ft.

These heights have been chosen in accordance with the criteria in the document “Environmental Principles and Procedures for Minimising the Impact of Aircraft Noise” produced by Environment Services Branch, Airservices Australia. This document can be found on the Airservices Australia's web site:www.airservicesaustralia.com/projectsservices/reports/

3.3. Non-Jet and helicopter track plots. Non-jet operations are principally the operations of propeller and turbo-prop aircraft. The track plots for the period 2nd to 8th March 2011 for arriving and departing non-jet aircraft and helicopters are shown in Figures 7 and 8 respectively. The same colour coding used for jet track plots is used in these figures. For both arrivals and departures by non-jets, the tracks disperse from the runway centrelines closer to the airport, to allow a clear path for jets, which are significantly faster.

3.4. Scatter plots.

A scatter plot illustrates height, Above Ground Level (AGL) and horizontal dispersion of aircraft flight tracks when the aircraft pass through a predefined vertical gate in the airspace. Scatter plots are useful tools in detecting aircraft flights operating below a certain height.

Scatter plots have been used in figures 10 and 12 used to analyse the height of jet aircraft as they pass over the Canberra Noise Abatement Area. The vertical gate used in generating these figures was aligned with the north-east boundary (high-lighted in red) of the Canberra Noise Abatement Area (as shown in Figure 9), and extends to a height of 10,000 feet (AGL). Figure 9 shows the track plot of northerly jet arrivals during the quarter and the scatter plot of these is shown in Figure 10. Similarly, the track plot and scatter plot of northerly jet departures during the quarter are shown in Figures 11 and 12. The large concentration of data points at the bottom left edge of these scatter graphs correspond to aircraft close to the runway and are strictly outside the Noise Abatement Area.



With the exception of these, jet tracks passing through the gate are above the Noise Abatement Area height threshold of 5000ft (AGL).

A scatter plot is used to determine the spread of all arrivals onto runway 30 (these are mostly propeller aircraft) tracks over the local community to the north East of Queanbeyan, Kowen Forest . The track plot and scatter plot for these aircraft over Kowen Forest are shown in Figures 13 and 14 respectively. The gate used over Kowen Forest is the straight line highlighted in red on Figure 13. As shown in Figure 14 the arrival tracks are evenly spread over approximately 65% of the gate with less traffic for the south-eastern portion.

4. AIRCRAFT MOVEMENT AND AIRCRAFT NOISE DATA

4.1. Movement statistics.

Movement statistics for Canberra Airport expressed in monthly figures are shown in Table 2. Explanations of the terms shown in Table 2 can be found in the Glossary section on Pages 7 and 8. The figures are based on The Australian Advanced Air Traffic System (TAAATS) data.

Table 2 also covers the runway usage for arrivals and departures individually and as a total for each runway. In Table 2 brackets are used to indicate the number of RNP arrivals onto runways 17 and 35. Although their flight tracks may be available in the NFPMS, TAAATS does not always provide operational details for movements by helicopters and light propeller-driven aircraft. This is the main reason that the Table 2 includes figures for operations by miscellaneous General Aviation aircraft, or aircraft with indeterminate runway (I).

The total number of monthly arrival (A) and departure (D) movements of all types (jets, non-jets and helicopters) at Canberra Airport for January was 3762, for February was 4262 and for March was 4877. The total number of arrival and departure movements for all aircraft types during the quarter was 12901.

Note that a training operation involving multiple circuits is counted by the system as a single movement, which may be arrival or departure. This is the reason that numbers of arrivals may differ from the corresponding numbers of departures. It is also the reason that movement numbers obtained from TAAATS data may differ from other ATC-sourced data.

There were also 357 local area operations of General Aviation aircraft recorded in the quarter by the NFPMS. Most of these operations performed multiple training circuits at the airport. Movement statistics for the previous four quarters are shown in Table 3. Note RNP movement numbers are within the brackets.

4.2. Night movement statistics.

Movement statistics for aircraft operating during the night hours (23:00 to 6:00) for Canberra Airport are shown in Table 4. The total number of movements during the night period in the first quarter of 2011 was 283. Movement figures for the previous four quarters are shown in Table 5.

4.3. Daily runway usage per calendar month for arrivals and departures during the quarter.

The daily runway usage per calendar month for arrivals and departures of all aircraft types including jets, non-jets, helicopters and emergency aircraft during the quarter is shown in Appendix C in which the movement figures of aircraft arrivals and departures are counted separately and wholly per runway for each day of the calendar month for the quarter.

4.4. Hourly movements per calendar month for arrivals and departures during the quarter.

The hourly movements per calendar month of the quarter for all aircraft movements operating in and out of the airport including helicopters and emergency aircraft are shown in Appendix D. The data in Appendix D are calculated for whole clock hours within the day.

4.5. Quarterly aircraft average noise levels.

Appendix E presents a summary of movement numbers and noise levels recorded over the quarter for jet and non-jet aircraft types. It shows the actual movements and the correlated noise events of aircraft types operating on specific runways together with the average maximum sound pressure levels and standard deviations of the maxima for overflights by each type at each NMT. The terms used in the data output are explained in the Glossary. The data is sorted in order of descending maximum sound pressure levels.

4.6. Data included in Appendix E.

It may be noted in Appendix E that in some cases there is a difference between the reported number of aircraft movements and the number of correlated noise events.

A noise event occurs when a noise being measured at an NMT stays above a preset level for a preset time duration. When that condition occurs, the NFPMS looks at the radar input to see whether there is an aircraft track within a preset radius around the NMT location. If there is, the noise event is correlated with that aircraft track and registered as a correlated noise event.

Differences between the number of aircraft movements and the number of correlated noise events may be due to the following:

(i) For aircraft operations which are not relatively close to the NMT location, the noise levels received from the aircraft may be below the event threshold level. This results in less correlated noise events than actual aircraft movements.

(ii) Noise events may not be correlated with aircraft tracks due to radar system downtime or transponders on the aircraft being turned off. This also results in less correlated noise events than actual aircraft movements.

(iii) In some cases, extraneous noise events caused by sources other than aircraft occur concurrently with an aircraft operation, and are coincidentally correlated with an aircraft track in the vicinity of the NMT. This may result in more correlated noise events than actual aircraft movements.

For larger data samples, the absence or mistaken identity of some noise events will have minimal effect on the mean data presented in the report. Data for small sample sizes may however not be truly representative. A minimum total of six over flights have been used to establish a mean noise level. As a result, it should be noted that with this small sample size the mean noise level can be viewed as being less accurate.



APPENDIX A

An overview of the Noise and Flight Path Monitoring System



A. SYSTEM OVERVIEW

A.1. System configuration and features.

The NFPMS is the world's largest, most geographically-spread system of its type. The complete system is operated and controlled from AA Head Office in Canberra.

Around each of the airports are a number of noise monitoring terminals (NMTs). The NMT basically consists of a microphone, atop a mast of 6m height, and an electronics box. The noise level to which the microphone is exposed over the range 30 to 130 dB(A) is continuously measured and then transmitted, via a data line, to the NFPMS central computer where it is processed and stored for later analysis. Apart from measuring the aircraft noise, the NMT also continuously monitors the background noise levels.

Through the TAAATS system, the NFPMS acquires flight track and operational information on aircraft operating in and out of the airport.

On a map display for each airport, the system displays the noise levels measured by each of the NMTs and the flight tracks of the aircraft in the vicinity of the airport.

When the level and duration of noise from any noise source in the vicinity of an NMT exceed the threshold level and duration which have been set for the NMT, a "noise event" is recorded. The time at which the noise event is recorded at the NMT location is then checked against movement times and radar tracks of aircraft operating in the vicinity. If the time and NMT location of the noise event match the movement time and radar track of an aircraft, the noise event is attributed to that aircraft , i.e. it becomes a “correlated noise event”. Otherwise, it is regarded as part of the background noise.

The incoming data is stored in the central computer and can be recalled to display the tracks flown by any user selection of aircraft operations, together with the noise levels which those operations produced at the NMTs. The track information includes aircraft identity, altitude and speed.

The system includes statistical and acoustical software to undertake analyses of noise or flight track information as required by the user.

Automatically and regularly, the NFPMS produces reports that contain tabular and graphical summaries of noise and aircraft movement data for each airport over selected time periods.

The system includes the capability to analyse aircraft tracks, by selecting and listing the tracks which have passed through defined windows and corridors. The analysis can be selective, e.g. on specification of aircraft type or the route being flown.



A.2. System applications.

The NFPMS collects noise and flight path data 24 hours a day, seven days per week. It also accumulates flight plan and weather data.

The information collected is used by AA to:

• determine the contribution of aircraft to overall noise exposure;

• detect occurrences of excessive noise levels from aircraft operations;

• assess the effects of operational and administrative procedures for noise control and compliance with these procedures;

• assist in planning of airspace usage;

• validate noise forecasts and forecasting techniques;

• assist relevant authorities in land-use planning for developments on areas in the vicinity of an airport;

• provide reports to, and responses to questions from, Government and other Members of Parliament, industry organisations, airport owners, community groups and individuals; and

• assist in answering noise complaints about aircraft operations from the general public.
