CHAPTER 600
NOISE ABATEMENT
SECTION 600.1 SCOPE
In a continuing effort to maintain good standing among the community members and to minimize noise, the Airport suggests that Users of the Airport adhere to the guidelines in this chapter. The main technique that the Airport is utilizing to minimize noise impacts is through the use of preferred flight patterns and techniques as outlined in FIGURE 1, 2 and in this chapter. The runways and patterns allow for the maximum use of over-water flight which in turn reduces noise impact. The perceptions of noise by residents will change dependent on the time of the year, time of the day, background noise, and atmospheric changes. Therefore, the following guidelines should be followed to minimize the impact of aircraft noise on residents in the designated noise sensitive areas.
SECTION 600.2 GENERAL PROCEDURES
A. Run-up operations for radial, turboprop, and turbine aircraft shall take place at the runup pad at the intersection of taxiway A and taxiway C with the nose of the aircraft pointing north to minimize sideline noise for neighboring residences.
B. All engine testing and maintenance runups will be limited to the hours of 7:00 am to 10:00 p.m., Monday through Friday and 8:00 am to 9:00 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. These activities will take place at the runup pad at the intersection of taxiway A and taxiway C with the nose of the aircraft pointing north.
SECTION 600.3 FIXED WING PROCEDURES
A. On takeoff, in order to minimize noise, no turn shall be made after takeoff until the Airport boundary has been reached and the aircraft has attained an altitude of at least 1,200 feet MSL.
B. Aircraft intending to remain in the traffic pattern shall continue to climb to a traffic pattern altitude of 1,400 feet MSL.
C. In constant speed propeller aircraft, do not use high rpm settings in the pattern.
D. On takeoff, reduce to climb power as soon as safe and practical.
E. Climb after liftoff at best angle of climb speed until crossing the Airport boundary, then climb at best rate.
SECTION 600.4 HELICOPTER PROCEDURES.
Due to the ability of vertical flight, helicopter operators are encouraged to climb to an altitude of 1,500 feet MSL to reduce noise over residential areas.
CHAPTER 700
FUELING
SECTION 700.1 FUELING OPERATIONS
All fueling operations shall conform to the provisions in the National Fire Code and the following:
A. During the fueling or de-fueling of any aircraft:
