CLT Continued Aircraft Operations Evaluations Airport Community Roundtable Presentation
October 24, 2018
ACR Requests of the CLT Technical Consultant
Analyze Noise Abatement Departure Procedures (NADP)
Determine aircraft arrival turn to base location distributions
Propose methodology for future noise-benefit analyses

Noise Abatement Departure Procedures
AEDT (FAA’s noise model) produced maximum noise level (Lmax) contours for comparison of three departure procedures:
1. Standard departures
2. NADP-1
3. NADP-2
To compare the differences in results, HMMH ran the model for the three most prevalent aircraft departing CLT Runways 18C, 18L, 36C and 36R (straight out):
1. Airbus A320
2. Airbus A319
3. Bombardier CRJ900 Note: FAA currently allows only two noise abatement departure procedures and only one of these two can be recommended for use at a particular airport

Noise Abatement Departure Procedures
NADP-1 “Close In” • Flaps to 3,000 ft AGL
Increased airframe noise compared to NADP-2 More lift creating less noise close in to the airport Increases fuel consumption compared to NADP-2
NADP-2 “Distant” • Flaps to 800 ft AGL
Less airframe noise compared to NADP-1 Less lift creating more noise close in to the airport Reduces fuel consumption compared to NADP-1

Noise Abatement Departure Procedures – Results
NADP-1 • Provides a decrease in noise
levels close to the airport for all three aircraft analyzed
• Provides an increase in noise levels further from the airport for Airbus A319/321 aircraft
NADP-2 • Provides no change for the
Airbus A319/321 • Provides an increase in noise
levels close in to the airport for the Bombardier CRJ900 aircraft
• Provides a slight decrease in noise levels further from the airport for Bombardier CRJ900 aircraft

Note: Green shows reduction, yellow little to no change, and orange increase in noise contour area.
Arrival Turn to Base Analysis
10
Arrival Turn to Base Analysis
Created analysis gate segments along the west side of the east downwind leg of north arrivals into CLT
Determined the number of aircraft, along with the percentage of the total aircraft for the year, that penetrated each of the analysis gates for both: • 2014 (pre-Metroplex)
• 2017 (post-Metroplex)
11
Arrival Turn to Base Analysis
12
2014 (Pre-Metroplex) 2017 (Post-Metroplex)
Findings – Arrival Turn Analysis
Essentially no difference in where aircraft turn off the east downwind leg between the two analysis years (2014 and 2017) even though the altitude was lowered as a result of the FAA’s implementation of the Metroplex • The standard deviation of the percentage differences are less than 1%
One analysis gate showed an increase due to arrivals from the southeast (aircraft not operating on the east downwind)

Noise-Benefit Analyses Template

Proposed Approach to Noise-Benefit Analyses
Create a closely spaced grid to overlay the base map
Noise model to generate analysis results at each of the grid points
Generate graphics of differences in results using the following color scheme • Green – grid locations of noise decreases (benefit)
• Yellow – grid locations of essentially no change
• Red – grid locations of noise increases (dis-benefit)
The following slides show baseline of maximum noise level (Lmax) results for April 6, 2018 with CLT in south flow (no green, yellow, red results since no comparisons are available)
