6 Since the 1960s, basic tools to monitor aircraft noise and operations have developed into useful and integrated NOMSs. A growing number of airports have procured a NOMS and flight tracking tools to assist with the handling of aircraft noise issues.

10 Primer and Framework for Considering an Airport Noise and Operations Monitoring System more automation of reports and complaint investigation, and more data analytics and business intelligence tools. New hardware technology will soon include increased use of tablets and other mobile platforms, a better radar data capture rate, air quality/emissions monitoring, more affordable NMTs, increased use of Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B)

NOMS Overview 11 passenger counts decreased to 52% of pre-COVID-19 levels. As air travel restrictions lifted later in 2020 and into 2021, flight operations and passenger counts increased.

12 Primer and Framework for Considering an Airport Noise and Operations Monitoring System 3.4.3 Current Events Summary Together, the perceived increase in airport operations due to the lifting of travel restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the NES results, and the FAA's solicitation for public feedback may increase the public's interest in engaging airports to solve noise problems. This could lead to the following outcomes: • Increase in aircraft noise complaints; • Increase in the public's need for aircraft noise and operational information and flight tracks; • Increase in airport staff workload; • Increased need for airport staff resources; • Increased need for noise and airspace analysis beyond the DNL 65; • Increased need for noise measurement, flight data, and technological tools to process and analyze data (a NOMS)

NOMS Overview 13 The data from a NOMS are generally utilized to facilitate the development and management of noise abatement programs at an airport. However, data from a NOMS can also be used to support other airport functions such as planning, gate management, and accounting.

16 Primer and Framework for Considering an Airport Noise and Operations Monitoring System 3.5.4 Degree of Public Access A NOMS allows airport staff to disseminate a variety of information related to aircraft operations and related noise through an airport's complaint handling process and community outreach programs. Airports may share NOMS information as part of a complaint investigation and response process, a special report for an individual or group, or upon request.
|
From page 17... ...
NOMS Overview 17 Many airports facilitate various levels of public access to NOMS data as part of their community outreach. While some airports allow limited or no public access to NOMS information, many permit the public to follow and review operations in the vicinity of their homes.
