Noise Abatement Strategies: The Critical Questions
- Which runway use provides the most noise reduction north of the airport?
- east preference (current)
- west preference
- no preference
- day/night split
- Which runway use provides the most noise reduction south of the airport?
- mixed divergence off west runway (current)
- all diverge
- no divergence (except simultaneous ops)
- resolve Fort Knox restricted area issue
- How can we minimize exceptions to contraflow operations, thus minimize sleep disturbance?
- options
- operations affected/cost
- benefits
- How can we improve the consistency and predictability of runway use direction?
- education/knowledge base
- too hard for model
