• 65 DNL and higher = FAA and the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) consider to be incompatible with residential, schools, hospitals and other noise-sensitive uses near airports.

• Less that 65 DNL Contour = federal government considers all uses compatible with airport noise

• There is no FAA impact threshold for noise significance associated with a single aircraft overflight.

Why is 65 DNL Important?

Part 2 15% complete

• Evaluate changes to flight procedures – Aircraft flight corridors – Aircraft altitudes – Preferred runway use – Flight procedure evaluation constraints

• Do not compromise safety • Do not create delays in the air traffic system • Do not create a burden on FAA (i.e. time) or airlines (i.e., fuel) • Do not merely move flights over another community

• Evaluate land use overlay zoning • NCP approved by local Board • Submit to FAA for approval and implementation

Noise Study Process - Part 2 Develop Noise Compatibility Plan (NCP)

– Raise downwind approach to Runway 6 to 5,000’– Keep aircraft at 3,000 over Ft. Myers Beach (currently a voluntary procedure) – Increase glide slope to 3.5 degrees – Establish Optimized Profile Descent (Southwest Airlines Approach) – Implement Estero Plan (SHFTY to TYNEE transition) – Publish Charted Visual Approach to Runway 6 – Publish RNAV procedure for Runway 6 Departures – Move downwind leg to Runway 6 further south – Establish helicopter noise abatement flight tracks – Establish Runway 24 as the designated calm wind runway – Establish reverse thrust restrictions – Identify run-up location(s) on the airfield – Implement NBAA and/or AOPA noise abatement best practices – Install runway end noise abatement reminder signs – Publish Jeppesen type pilot handout – Update land use overlay zones – Designate future land acquisition for noise sensitive areas

Evaluations Currently Under Way

Data Acquisition/Public Meetings – Summer 2011 Field Measurements and Noise Modeling – Summer 2011 Draft Noise Contours Developed – Fall 2011

• Round #2 Public Meetings – Fall 2011 • Develop/Evaluate Alternatives – Winter 2011 • FAA Approval of Noise Contours – Spring 2012 • Round #3 Public Meetings – Spring 2012 • Draft Study Recommendations – Summer 2012 • Board Endorsement/Submit to FAA – Fall 2012 • FAA Approval Final Approval/Implementation – 2013
