1. The AOA
Future Noise Footprints
AOA airport members
• 50+ airports
• 160+ supplier members
• Large international hubs and gateways
• Medium sized airports – how to define?
• Small aerodromes – General Aviation and Business Aviation

Ensuring a sustainable future for our industry
Noise Goal: Limit and, where possible, reduce the impact of aircraft noise.
SA Noise Road-Map, 2013
SA Progress Report, 2015
Session 1: Noise – Industry DevelopmentsFuture Noise Footprints
Operational Improvement
• Continuous Descent operations increased from
an average of 56% of arrivals in 2006, to 78% in 2014/15.
• Continuous Climb operations increased from 55% of departures in 2006, to 67% in 2014.
• Steeper approaches – efforts in recent years to trial and develop steeper approaches into airports, offering the scope to move the noise footprint of arriving aircraft towards the airport.
• Reduced Engine Taxi – noise benefits in addition to emissions reduction

Land Use Planning
• Noise contours areas reduced in size by nearly 14%, yet the population
living within these contours has risen by almost 4%. .
• The AOA collected the given noise contour (57dB LAeq 16 hour) of 18
airports and we assessed the type and number of new buildings
granted planning permission and being built within those areas.
Nationally, 5,761 homes have been granted planning permission,
started or completed construction in the noise contours of the UK’s 18
biggest airports.
• A need for best practice guidance

Airspace Change Process
• Modernised airspace will enable us to further improve continuous
climbs and descents, reduce holding and implement multiple routes,
which can help minimise noise and meet environmental targets.
• Committed to educating stakeholders on the need for airspace
modernisation and engaging with local communities to find innovative
solutions to manage aircraft noise .
• A need for a clear, stable policy and guidance on airspace change
which remains flexible to the local needs of individual airports and
communities.
Session 1: Noise – Industry DevelopmentsFuture Noise Footprints
The challenge of perception
…and the need to communicate
• People experience noise differently
• Triggers of annoyance to aircraft noise are variable and complex to
manage.
• Airports engaging with communities.
• Explaining our actions.
Session 1: Noise – Industry DevelopmentsFuture Noise Footprints
Conclusions
• Continue to deliver on noise reductions through operational
improvements.
• Developing best practice for land use planning around airports
• Support airspace change – continuing to share best practice.
• Further improving how the industry works with communities to
develop optimum noise management solutions.
