RNAV Environmental Assessment

• Analysis of the proposed air traffic action at Reno indicates no areas of threshold noise increase

• A decrease in noise approximately 1.0 NM northeast of the airport as a result of modifications to Runway 16 arrival traffic

• The increase in available procedures improves efficiency of aircraft performance and disperses some departure flight tracks
