Aircraft Operations • 2016: 412,170 operations – 8% increase
• 2015: 381,408 operations – 12% increase
• 2014: 340,478 operations – 7% increase
• 2013: 317,186 operations The difference between 2013 and 2016 was 94,984 operations.
That’s 260 more aircraft going over homes per day.
The increase in operations is predominantly what is causing additional noise complaints

Sea-Tac Airport Economic Impacts • Economic Impact = $16.3 billion annually in business revenue • Generates 171,769 jobs / 19,000 directly related to the airport • Approximately 4,000 airport employees live in the local cities • Each international flight route generates $75 million annually to the
economy • Tourism creates $365 million annually in state & local taxes and
approximately 140,000 jobs.
Sea-Tac Airport is a major contributor to the local economies

Sea-Tac contours are based off aircraft operations data
• All aircraft operations
• Airport characteristics
altitude/runways/taxiways
• Flows – North/South
• Type of aircraft in fleet
• Aircraft configurations
gear/flaps
• Engine testing statistics
• Weather
• Terrain
• Flight paths
• Performance data
• Flight distances with payloads
DNL is a cumulative metric required by the FAA – 65 DNL is the area the FAA allows for mitigation

What is NextGen? • Surveillance
– Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast (ADSB) • Onboard aircraft equipment broadcasts location and speed
• Data Communications – A way pilots and controllers access digital information
• Automation – Systems and weather
• Navigation – Performance Based Navigation
• Required Navigation Performance (RNP) • Optimized Profile Descent
NextGen is a suite of tools being implemented by the FAA to improve the airspace

Final Approach When the aircraft are lined up with the runways for landing they descend at a 3 degree angle.
3 degree glideslope is standard in the U.S. – Altitudes have not been lowered
