Item 3: Aircraft Arrival Gear Extension
Gordon Goss – Chief Pilot Delta Air Lines
Timothy Bathke – Chief Pilot Sun Country Airlines
NOISE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEESEPTEMBER 21, 2016
LANDING GEAR EXTENSION DETERMINATES:
• STABILIZED APPROACH CRITERIA
• SLOW/FAST ATC SPEED ASSIGN
• SLAM DUNK APPROACHES
• LOW VISIBILITY/BAD WX
STABILIZED APPROACH DISCUSSION
• STABLE APPROACHES ARE ICAO/INDUSTRY STANDARD
• STABLE APPROACH = SLOW APPROACH = SAFE APPROACH
• GARAGE ANALOGY
STABILIZED APPROACH CRITERIA(By 1000’ AGL = Approx 3 nm)
Visual Conditions
• Landing Gear Down – not in transit
• Flaps set at a Landing Flaps position
– Relatively high lift and high drag
• Airspeed at Touchdown Speed + 15 KIAS(mph)
• On nominal 3 degree glideslope
• Engines “spooled up” ready for go-around (approximately cruise power setting)
LOW VISIBILITY/BAD WX
• AIRCRAFT STABLE CLOSER TO 5-6 nm vs 3-4nm
• MINIMIZE DISTRACTIONS
• MOST APPROACHES REQUIRE VISUAL FOR LANDING
• ALLOWS DETERMINATION OF AIRSPEED VARIATION
• USUALLY NOT NOTICED FROM GROUND
SLOW SPEED ASSIGNMENT(> 6 NM from Rwy)
• Assigned speed 150 to 170 KIAS
– Speed MAY require Landing Flaps
– Aircraft type and weight dependent
• Landing Flap set with Landing Gear UP
– Landing Gear Warning Horn to prevent gear up landing
• Landing Gear Required to silence Warning
FAST SPEED ASSIGNMENT(180-190 KIAS to 5-6 NM)
• Less Prevalent Condition
• Higher Speed Carried Closer to Runway
• Aircraft Type Dependent
– DC-9/727 vs 757/A-320
• Landing Gear Used as Drag to Slow Quickly
SLAM DUNK APPROACHES
• AIRCRAFT BEGINS APPROACH HIGH AND FAST
• STABILIZED APPROACH CRITERIA STILL APPLIES
• AIRCRAFT IS ABOVE 3 DEGREE GLIDESLOPE
• LANDING GEAR USED WITH SPEEDBRAKES
• FLAP EXTENSION SPEED DEPENDENT
NOC QUESTIONS:What are Delta’s SOP re LANDING GEAR
EXTENSION?
• Fully extended no later than 1000 feet AGL. Given normal extension times usually start approximately 5-7 nm from Runway.
HAS THIS CHANGED RECENTLY?• No changes from Delta or even NWA
procedures
Q: ARE THERE GROUND LANDMARKS FOR GEAR EXTENSION?
A: No, A/C configuration is dependent upon the factors listed above, not a spot on the ground.
Q: DOES GEAR EXTENSION DIFFER FOR DIFFERENT RUNWAYS?
A: No. Except as listed above, the goal of approach standardization is to make all approaches as similar as
possible.

MSP Base Chief PilotCaptain Timothy Bathke
NOC Presentation
Landing Procedure Considerations
• Safety driven– Internal data– Industry lessons learned
• Regulatory compliance– FAA Directive– Sun Country Policy
• Recent Stabilized Approach Emphasis
Procedural Considerations
– Safety• A decade long data driven initiative
– Stabilized Approach criteria met for each and every approach
• Positioning the airplane in the proper landing configuration (in addition to completing several other tasks) prior to 1000’ above the ground
• Approximately 4 miles from the runway
Sun Country Approach Profiles
• No significant changes in the past 2 years– Minor verbiage change– Approximately the same point over the
ground
“Standard” Operating Procedure
• Difficult to quantify– Multitude of variables
• Crew qualification• Weather conditions• Assigned approach speeds
– Number of Operations/Congestion– Direction of traffic flow
• Day vs. Night• Specific size of 737
Visual Weather Conditions
• Normally the landing gear is lowered approximately 5-7 miles from the runway
• This can vary with crew experience, flight conditions, weather, runway conditions, etc.
• The primary emphasis for our crews is the safety of our passengers and the community on the ground
Instrument Weather Conditions
• Current procedure specifies lowering the landing gear 3 miles before the Final Approach Fix
• Conditions alter this slightly based primarily on aircraft weight and speed assigned by ATC
• The final approach point changes based on the specific runway in use
Procedural Differences Between Runways
• The Sun Country profile for an Instrument approach is the same whether the runway is 12R or 35 in MSP, or any approach at any other airport
• Different types of instrument approaches can have slightly different profiles– The gear is lowered at essentially the same
distance from any runway
SE Ops versus NW Ops• Runways 12L/12R are typically used without the benefit of
35• Runways 30L/R/35 can handle a greater number of flights
– In a 2 runway configuration, there is an increased likelihood of congestion
– Slower speeds assigned further from the airport• Typically, once MSP Approach Control or MSP Tower assigns a
certain speed (170mph) we can only slow the airplane using landing gear – Doing so assures we maintain a stabilized and safe approach
• Depending on the distance from the airport, this could lead to level flight segments that potentially require higher power settings, thus increasing the noise.
Considerations
• Customer loyalty to the Hometown Airline is driving growth
• SCA Fleet Make-up – 2011
• 14 Aircraft– 2016
• 21 Aircraft (22 in March 2017, 23 and 24 in 2017)– Pilot Demographics
• 306 pilots• 60% increase in 5 years
– Increased training– Pilot candidate experience– Teaching and maintaining our high level of safety
Considerations
• RNAV STARs– There is not a negative impact on noise from
the implementation• Instrument approach procedures haven’t changed
as a result• Altitude at correlating navigation points is higher• 230 KIAS on downwind requires reduced engine
thrust settings, lowering noise footprint further– Shared benefits- reduced noise and a lower fuel
consumption
Item 4: Study of MSP Runway 12L and 12R ArrivalsNOISE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEESEPTEMBER 21, 2016
In May, NOC directed MAC staff to conduct an analysis of MSP Runway 12L and 12R arrival activity over the cities to the northwest of the airport.
Direction was based on feedback from the 2nd Quarter Public Input Meeting in St. Louis Park
Item 4: Study of MSP Runway 12L and 12R ArrivalsM
ET
HO
DO
LOG
Y Collectively designed study objective and scope with residents.
Data analyzed from 2004 and 2013 through July 2016.
The following concerns were identified and evaluated:• Volume of arrival activity• Late-night and early-morning arrival activity• Arrival aircraft altitude trends• Frequency of arrival flights throughout the day• Arrival path changes
FIN
DIN
GS
• Increased arrival activity on Runways 12L and 12R between
2013 and 2015, although total number of arrivals to these
runways are lower than 2004
• Two factors leading to increases: southerly winds and new
separation standards for Converging Runway Operations
• Increased late-night and early-morning arrival activity
• There are peaks and valleys of activity throughout the day
• The peak hour of arrival activity occurs during the evening
• No substantive changes were found in aircraft altitudes
• Some spatial variations exist for flight segments prior to final
approach as a result of Area Navigation (RNAV) arrival
procedures

MSP NOC Presentation
MSP ranked 16th busiest airport in the nation with over 400,000 operations per year.
Air Traffic Control primary duty is to provide a safe, orderly and expeditious flow of traffic to MSP and the surrounding airspace.
Safe – Ensuring aircraft separation and system safety in the air and on the ground
Orderly – Applying air traffic control rules to ensure system integrity –which in turn supports safety
Expeditious – Maintaining an efficient throughput of arrivals and departures, keeping demand and capacity in balance – again, this in turn supports safety
Noise Considerations - RUS Utilization

Item 11: Review of July 27, 2016 Public Input MeetingNOISE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEESEPTEMBER 21, 2016
On July 27, 2016 MAC Noise Program Office staff conducted the 3rd
Quarter 2016 Public Input Meeting.
One resident attended the meeting and also submitted the Public InputMeeting website form.
MAC staff had a focused discussion with the resident covering informationabout the FAA’s decision-making and consideration of community impactfrom aircraft overflights and the difference between the impact on thecommunity from MSP and from Denver International Airport.
Representatives from the FAA and the airlines were in attendance andjoined in the discussion.
While the questions were answered in person, staff also responded inwriting and posted them on the website under For Our Neighbors – PublicInput Meetings.
The next quarterly public input meeting will be October 26,2016, 7:00 p.m., at the MAC General Offices – LindberghRoom
