• Review progress made on NAP 2013-2018

• Update details of airport, operations, regulation, policy etc.

• Update on-going and proposed new actions

• Present draft to consultative committee(s) (HNCF, HSNAG etc.)

• Publish NAP

Noise Action Plan Structure

Content required by DEFRA

• Airport description covering noise sources, authority, legal context etc.

• Summary of noise mapping

• Evaluation of impacts – no. people exposed, problems and situation to be

improved

• Record on consultations

• Noise reduction projects – current and in preparation

• 5-year action plan and long term strategy

Proposed Approach for Developing Draft NAP 2019-2013

Actions

Keep 5 sections, as per the Balanced Approach plus Community Engagement

HNCF WG1 WG2 WG1 WG2 WG1

Inputs

- Actions from NAP 2013-2018 and the status

- Actions from Heathrow 2.0 Sustainability Leadership Plan

- Actions expected to be completed 2016-2018 before new NAP19

- On going and new actions

- Development and consideration of new types of actions

Existing Actions – various locations

- Noise Action Plan 2013 – 2018 – 44 actions

- Blueprint for Noise Reduction (2016/17) – 10 actions

- Heathrow 2.0 Sustainability Leadership Plan – Objective 4 – Respite for Residents

- 4.1 Aircraft, operations and noise envelope

- 4.2 Policy and Planning

- 4.3 Community engagement and collaboration

- DFT Night Flights Regime

- AIP (Airport Information Package)

- OSI (Operational Safety Instructions)

- Ground Noise Management Plan (in development)

- T4 and T5 Consent conditions

- New single location – NAP 2019 - 2013

Key Actions for WG1 Today

Brainstorm – NAP 2019-2023 Quieter Planes

- What are the key action areas within Quieter Planes?

- Are there new Quieter Planes areas we can investigate and influence?

- Are there research questions we would like to explore and answer?

- Which areas are within 5-year NAP and which might be longer term?

Note

- This is only the first brainstorming session. Ideas can be brought forward at

later sessions and during subsequent consultations.

- Items and action areas better suited under the other areas – Quieter

Procedures, Land-use Planning, Operational Restrictions and Working with

Communities – will be noted and parked for the upcoming WG sessions on

those areas.

Three Types of Actions

Types of Actions Examples Comments

SMART Actions with targets

- Specific

- Measureable

- Attainable

- Relevant

- Timely

Voluntary phase-out of

Ch3 aircraft (less than x

movements/yr) by end

2020

Includes Single action

Regular actions Annual external audit of

x% of NAP action items

Fields of research, actions,

investigation

Consider and evaluate

new arrival and departure

procedures

Not SMART

Others? ….

Quieter Planes – 3 arenas of consideration

What can NAP influence and how?

Aircraft technology

- Long term consideration

(25 yr +)

- Engine and airframe

research

- Functionally silent

aircraft

- Integrated wing-fuselage

design

- Trade-offs with fuel and

emissions

- ICAO certification

- International pressure

- What impact can one

airport make?

Aircraft owned by airlines

- Medium-long term

consideration (5-25

years)

- Fleet modernisation

- Cost of fleet renewal

- Life expectancy of

aircraft

- Extension of service

life

- Are noise fees an

incentive for aircraft

purchase?

Individual aircraft at LHR

- Short-medium term

consideration (0-5 yrs)

- Aircraft deployment

- Home carrier fleets

- Carriers selecting

aircraft to come to LHR

- Time of day

- Flight mission

- Capacity and load

factor
