R. John Hansman, MIT Development of Arrival and Departure Procedures to Reduce Community Noise Impact

Session Chairs: Debi Wagner, Elena Austin, Eric Lu Speakers: Dr. Ourania Konstanti, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens Dr. Neelakshi Hudda, Tufts University Dr. Magali Blanco, University of Washington SLIDO CODE: 7043298 This session explores the intersection of aviation emissions, community health, and environmental justice.

Session Chairs: Chris Nottoli, Justin Cook Guest Moderator: Scott Tatro Panelists: Don Scata, FAA & Adam Scholten, FAA (Unable to present) Scott Tatro, ESA: Substitute Presenter: An introduction of the FAA’s Noise Policy Review, replacing Don Scata, FAA; Adam Scholten, FAA Kallie Glover, Delta Airlines Melinda Pagliarello, ACI-NA Dr. Victor Sparrow, Penn State University SLIDO CODE : 6516070 This session will provide an update on the FAA’s ongoing Noise Policy Review and the formation of the Airport Noise Advisory Committee. Additionally, we will delve into the current state of FAA research on community response, featuring findings from the Neighborhood Environmental Survey. This session promises to offer valuable perspectives and foster meaningful dialogue on addressing aviation noise impacts.

Panelists: Joseph Czech, HMMH, Adam Scholten, FAA, & Don Scata, FAA (Unable to present)Vince Mestre: Substitute Presenter, Semi-Retired; former Associate Vice President, Landrum and Brown; former Principal, Mestre Greve Associates An annotation of the FAA follow-on studies to the Neighborhood Environmental Survey in the FAA NOISE-CON paper, replacing Joseph Czech, HMMH; Adam Scholten, FAA; Don Scata, FAA Darlene Yaplee, Aviation-Impacted Communities Alliance (AICA) SLIDO CODE: 6516070 This session will provide an update on the FAA’s ongoing Noise Policy Review and the formation of the Airport Noise Advisory Committee.

This session promises to offer valuable perspectives and foster meaningful dialogue on addressing aviation noise impacts.

Session Chairs: Marie-Jo Fremont, Kallie GloverSpeakers:Dr. Stephanie Grady, Boston University Dr. Juan Alonso, Stanford University SLIDO CODE: 3740406 Assessing aircraft noise exposure accurately is critical given that noise assessments are the backbone of an aircraft noise policy and any actions taken for noise abatement and mitigation purposes. This session will describe changes in noise exposure around 90 US airports between 1995 and 2015 as well as differences between AEDT-modeled noise levels and recorded noise levels based on a large-scale study of some San Francisco Airport arrival traffic. After the presentations, a panel will discuss implications of the studies and explore next steps to improve the assessment of noise exposure.

Panelists:Marie- Jo Fremont, Session Chair, Concerned Residents of Palo Alto Jim Allderdice, Vianair SLIDO CODE: 2573877 Understanding the location and severity of aircraft noise is essential for stakeholders, especially airports and communities seeking effective solutions to reduce aviation noise exposure. In this session, speakers will present innovative approaches to reporting and visualizing noise levels experienced by communities using non-DNL metrics. Attendees will gain insights from the presented data, including historical trends, learn how data visualization can be used to develop effective noise reduction strategies, and see how airport noise offices could leverage this new report.
