noise and land use compatibility in the surrounding areas. The goal of the project is for ANC, in consultation with partners and stakeholders, to develop recommendations to minimize and\/or mitigate aircraft noise effects on surrounding communities and land uses. The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dot.alaska.gov\/anc\/noise-study.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ANC Part 150 Study<\/a>\u00a0was completed in 2015. This project is launching in 2025 with estimated completion in 2027.<\/p><p>There are two main parts of a Part 150 Study. First, modeling the noise through the update of the Noise Exposure Maps (NEMs) based on current and forecast future conditions. Second, to find reasonable solutions to the problems associated with noise generated by aircraft and present those solutions through an update of the Noise Compatibility Plan (NCP). The goal of the overall program is for ANC, in consultation with stakeholders, to develop a balanced program to minimize and\/or mitigate aircraft noise effects on surrounding communities and land uses.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9b5780e elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"9b5780e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-109da3c elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"109da3c\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" id=\"timeline\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2c635d2\" data-id=\"2c635d2\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-854e52e elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"854e52e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bffa194 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"bffa194\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"34\" height=\"32\" src=\"https:\/\/anc150noisestudy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/A-collection-of-icons_timeline.svg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-image-535\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8dbf948 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"8dbf948\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Timeline<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-2c03e31 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2c03e31\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-64c8373\" data-id=\"64c8373\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1bbc15e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1bbc15e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\">A simplified version of the project timeline is below.

It establishes a single system for evaluating aircraft noise, determining the exposure of individuals to aircraft noise, and standardizing airport noise compatibility planning programs. The Airport Noise Compatibility Planning program includes: (1) provisions for the development and submission to the FAA of the Noise Exposure Maps (NEMs) and Noise Compatibility Program (NCP) by airport operators; (2) standard noise units, methods, and analytical techniques for use in assessments; (3) identification of land uses that are normally considered compatible (or non-compatible) with various levels of aircraft noise based on federal guidelines; and (4) procedures and criteria for FAA approval or disapproval of airport-recommended NCP measures.<\/p><p>The current Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport (ANC) Part 150 Study will update the NEMs by assessing current aircraft noise and land use compatibility. The Part 150 Study will develop a 5-year forecast of aircraft operations to assess future conditions. The NCP will contain recommendations for addressing non-compatible land uses identified in the NEMs. NCP measures approved by the FAA could potentially be eligible for federal funding.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<details id=\"e-n-accordion-item-1702\" class=\"e-n-accordion-item\" >\n\t\t\t\t<summary class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title\" data-accordion-index=\"3\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"e-n-accordion-item-1702\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-header'><div class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title-text\"> Why is the current (2015) Part 150 Study being updated?  <\/div><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-icon'>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-opened' ><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-minus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h384c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-closed'><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-plus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H272V64c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32h-32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v144H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h144v144c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h32c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32V304h144c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t<div role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-accordion-item-1702\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c273350 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"c273350\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a0aeba7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a0aeba7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Since the last update, there have been changes to aircraft fleet mix and activity levels, and updates to the noise model used for analysis, which will all be addressed during the Part 150 Study.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<details id=\"e-n-accordion-item-1703\" class=\"e-n-accordion-item\" >\n\t\t\t\t<summary class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title\" data-accordion-index=\"4\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"e-n-accordion-item-1703\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-header'><div class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title-text\"> What are federal grant assurances? <\/div><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-icon'>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-opened' ><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-minus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h384c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-closed'><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-plus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H272V64c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32h-32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v144H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h144v144c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h32c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32V304h144c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t<div role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-accordion-item-1703\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d696702 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"d696702\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c5d4c54 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c5d4c54\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Grant assurances are contract obligations that airport owners agree to when they accept funds from Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)-administered airport financial assistance programs. These are meant to protect the government\u2019s investment and the public\u2019s interest in using public airports.\u00a0For example, some of the 39 grant assurances are:<\/p><ul><li>The airport will be open to the public and not discriminate against anyone who wants to use it.<\/li><li>The airport will charge reasonable fees and not give unfair advantages to any airlines or businesses.<\/li><li>The airport will maintain and operate the facilities safely and efficiently.<\/li><li>The airport will use the money or land only for airport purposes.<\/li><li>The airport will follow environmental laws and regulations.<\/li><li>The airport will cooperate with the government in case of emergencies or national security issues.<\/li><\/ul><p>These grant assurances become legally binding when the airport owners accept the funds or property. The government can enforce these grant assurances by withholding future funds, taking back the property, requiring repayment of funds, or declaring the airport in noncompliance, along with other measures. This is important in the context of noise, because as it is a public use airport, grant assurances do not allow an airport to restrict aircraft operations.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<details id=\"e-n-accordion-item-1704\" class=\"e-n-accordion-item\" >\n\t\t\t\t<summary class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title\" data-accordion-index=\"5\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"e-n-accordion-item-1704\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-header'><div class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title-text\"> What is Title 14 CFR Parts 36, 161, and 91 and how do they relate to aircraft noise? <\/div><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-icon'>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-opened' ><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-minus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h384c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-closed'><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-plus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H272V64c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32h-32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v144H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h144v144c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h32c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32V304h144c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t<div role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-accordion-item-1704\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b0433bf e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"b0433bf\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-18afc20 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"18afc20\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) details the rules established by U.S. executive departments and federal agencies.

It prescribes the noise measurement and evaluation procedures, noise limits, and documentation requirements that must be met for certification for different types of aircraft, including transport category large airplanes, jet airplanes, propeller-driven small airplanes, helicopters, and tiltrotors. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) publishes certified noise levels in Advisory Circular 36-1H, Noise Levels for U.S Certificated and Foreign Aircraft.<\/li><li><strong>CFR Part 161:<\/strong> Titled \u201cNotice and Approval of Airport Noise and Access Restrictions,\u201d Part 161 implements the Airport Noise and Capacity Act (ANCA) of 1990. It prescribes the notice requirements and procedures for airport operators who wish to implement noise and access restrictions on Stage 2 and Stage 3 (and greater) aircraft. To date, there have been no approved Part 161 Studies in the nation that restrict Stage 3 and greater aircraft, which account for most, if not all, aircraft flying today. There are very few, if any, Stage 2 aircraft certified prior to 1977 remaining in the U.S. aircraft fleet.<\/li><li><strong>CFR Part 91:<\/strong> Titled \u201cGeneral Operating and Flight Rules,\u201d Part 91 prescribes general operating and flight rules, including noise limits for aircraft operations. It is less restrictive compared to other parts of the Federal Aviation Regulations and primarily applies to general aviation, non-commercial, and private flights. Subpart I of CFR Part 91 specifically prescribes operating noise limits and related requirements for the operation of civil aircraft in the United States.<\/li><\/ol><p>These parts of the CFR provide the regulatory framework for managing aircraft noise in the United States, balancing the operational needs of the aviation industry with the noise exposure on communities surrounding airports.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c29cf30 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"c29cf30\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d996501 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"d996501\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-83a22d3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"83a22d3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Scope<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ed0f8f6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-n-accordion\" data-id=\"ed0f8f6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;default_state&quot;:&quot;all_collapsed&quot;,&quot;max_items_expended&quot;:&quot;one&quot;,&quot;n_accordion_animation_duration&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;ms&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:400,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]}}\" data-widget_type=\"nested-accordion.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-n-accordion\" aria-label=\"Accordion.

The FAA allows the inclusion of ground noise in addition to the noise from aircraft operations, but our preliminary analysis indicates that those ground operations including ground engine runups, taxiing, and APU\/GPU usage would not result in any change to the noise exposure contours. This is consistent with previously prepared contours, which already included engine runups and showed no resulting changes.

The DNL represents the yearly, 24-hour average sound level, measured in decibels (dB), derived from the cumulative noise levels of the annual-average aircraft operations. During the period from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m., an additional 10 dB are added to each aircraft noise event to account for nighttime noise intrusion. This adjustment recognizes that noise disturbances at night tend to be more disruptive due to lower ambient noise levels and people&#8217;s need for sleep. The 24-hour DNL is annualized to reflect noise generated by aircraft operations for an entire year and is identified by \u201cnoise contours\u201d showing levels of aircraft noise in 5-dB increments.<\/p><p>DNL is the most widely accepted descriptor for aviation noise because of the following characteristics:<\/p><ul><li>DNL is a measurable quantity.<\/li><li>DNL can be used by airport planners and the public who are not familiar with acoustics or acoustical theory.<\/li><li>DNL provides a simple method to compare the effectiveness of alternative airport scenarios.<\/li><li>DNL is based on a substantial body of scientific survey data regarding how people react to noise.<\/li><\/ul><p>The DNL incorporates A-weighted noise events and\/or hourly noise levels. The so-called &#8220;A&#8221; filter (\u201cA weighting\u201d) generally does the best job of matching human response to most environmental noise sources, including natural sounds and sound from common transportation sources. Because of the correlation with our hearing, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and nearly every other federal and state agency have adopted A-weighted decibels as the metric for use in describing environmental and transportation noise because surveys have shown that it best mimics how our ears perceive common environmental sounds. Other metrics are used to measure aircraft noise and the supplemental metrics used in the Part 150 Study are described below; however, only DNL is acceptable as defined by regulation for the Study process.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<details id=\"e-n-accordion-item-4871\" class=\"e-n-accordion-item\" >\n\t\t\t\t<summary class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title\" data-accordion-index=\"2\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"e-n-accordion-item-4871\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-header'><div class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title-text\"> What is the FAA\u2019s noise model? <\/div><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-icon'>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-opened' ><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-minus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h384c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-closed'><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-plus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H272V64c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32h-32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v144H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h144v144c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h32c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32V304h144c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t<div role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-accordion-item-4871\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-19547a4 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"19547a4\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-227c7fe elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"227c7fe\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requires use of its Aviation Environmental Design Tool (AEDT) to generate noise exposure contours from aircraft operations to assess land use compatibility around airports.

Essentially, a noise contour graphically represents the annual-average aircraft noise exposure (expressed by the Day-Night Average Sound Level, or DNL, metric) through the connection of points with equivalent noise exposure around the airport. They are like geographic contour lines that connect points of equal elevation.<\/p><p>A Part 150 Study uses the DNL contour of 65 decibels (dB) to represent the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)-defined threshold for identifying non-compatible land uses. Certain noise-sensitive land uses (such as residences, schools, places of worship, etc.) within the DNL contour of 65 dB and greater are non-compatible with aircraft noise. Therefore, noise-sensitive land uses within the 65 dB DNL contour could be eligible for federal funding for FAA-approved noise mitigation measures.<\/p><p>A variety of information is gathered during the Part 150 Study to create an accurate set of aircraft noise exposure contours including: the number of operations, flight paths, type of aircraft, type of aircraft engines, time of day or night, weather conditions, and runway use.<\/p><p>This data is used to generate aircraft noise exposure contours that are overlaid on land use base maps depicting jurisdictional boundaries to create the formal Noise Exposure Map submitted to the FAA for review and acceptance.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<details id=\"e-n-accordion-item-4873\" class=\"e-n-accordion-item\" >\n\t\t\t\t<summary class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title\" data-accordion-index=\"4\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"e-n-accordion-item-4873\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-header'><div class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title-text\"> Will other noise metrics be used? <\/div><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-icon'>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-opened' ><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-minus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h384c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-closed'><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-plus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H272V64c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32h-32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v144H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h144v144c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h32c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32V304h144c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t<div role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-accordion-item-4873\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7c37003 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"7c37003\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bbae70d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"bbae70d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Sometimes the Day-Night Average Sound Level (DNL) noise metric used in Part 150 Studies is criticized because it averages noise over a 24-hour period for an entire year, which does not accurately portray what people hear on a day-to-day basis. It is true that because the DNL represents noise for an annual-average day, it does not represent what people hear when an aircraft flies over.<\/p><p>Some additional metrics that may be studied include LMAX contours (the maximum sound level) for single aircraft landing-takeoff cycles in each traffic flow direction for critical aircraft that operate at ANC today and in the future. Another metric that could be included is the number of events that generate a maximum noise level above 75 decibels (dB), known as the N75 noise metric. This metric is helpful in illustrating how many times per day noise events occur that can result in some degree of interference. Finally, representative receptor analysis could be completed, which presents the noise levels in terms of various metrics at example sites around the Airport. The metrics above could be presented for certain supplemental information, based on stakeholder coordination and the operational alternatives examined.

Selected sites are strategically located beneath or near commonly used departure and arrival flight tracks. Their positioning ensures representative monitoring of aircraft noise exposure in neighborhoods affected by aircraft operations. Additionally, the team requested input in the Study Advisory Committee as well as during a public meeting to help identify sites. This information, paired with flight tracks and expert guidance from acoustical engineers determined the selection of sites to give the Study representation of noise around the airport. No additional monitoring will be completed as part of the Part 150 update. As a reminder, the Federal Aviation Administration\u2019s (FAA) Aviation Environmental Design Tool (AEDT) noise model determines aircraft noise exposure everywhere within the study area and is the required metric for use in the land use compatibility study. Noise exposure contours used to determine land use compatibility with aircraft operations are generated with the FAA\u2019s noise model rather than noise measurements. The measurements were conducted to help the community better understand noise metrics and the context of what they hear versus the required model. However, the modeled DNL is the required metric for the Study.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-88173b1 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"88173b1\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-72154cb e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"72154cb\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9eff20c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"9eff20c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Other<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b78f06b elementor-widget elementor-widget-n-accordion\" data-id=\"b78f06b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;default_state&quot;:&quot;all_collapsed&quot;,&quot;max_items_expended&quot;:&quot;one&quot;,&quot;n_accordion_animation_duration&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;ms&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:400,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]}}\" data-widget_type=\"nested-accordion.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-n-accordion\" aria-label=\"Accordion.

This nationwide survey aims to gauge the level of annoyance caused by aircraft noise. The FAA is currently working through comments submitted on the NES; the FAA\u2019s plans for the results of the NES remain uncertain at this point. For purposes of this Part 150 Study, Day-Night Average Sound Level (DNL) of 65 decibels is the threshold for non-compatibility that is required for alternatives analysis.
