NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES
| When operationally safe and feasible, use ‘Close-In’
Noise Abatement Departure Profile (NADP) procedures consistent
with FAA guidelines in Advisory Circular AC 91-53, current edition.
Runway 06 noise departure heading assignments for new technology
Stage 3 turbojet aircraft only. All other turbojet aircraft departing
Runway 06 and 24 fly runway heading until 2,000 feet MSL. Be advised
that departures on Runways 06, 13 and 24 are over noise sensitive
areas. Runway 31 departures turn right heading 360 degrees until
2,000 MSL.
See note under Noise Mitigation/Land Use Planning Program Information.

CONTINUOUS DESCENT ARRIVAL (CDA) - NONE
AIRPORT CURFEWS - NONE
PREFERENTIAL RUNWAYS
| Runway 6/24 is the preferential runway; however Runway 31 is
preferred for all night time departures (2200L – 0700L). Otherwise,
between the hours of 2130L and 0630L, Runway 6 is assigned on odd
numbered calendar days and Runway 24 is assigned on even numbered
calendar days on the basis of favorable wind (less than 3 knots)
and weather conditions (ceiling above 1,000 ft). |
OPERATING QUOTA - NONE

RUN-UP RESTRICTIONS
Two (2) approved run-up areas: air cargo apron and Runway 31
hold-bay.

MITIGATION/LAND USE PLANNING PROGRAM INFORMATION
| October 7, 2005: The FAA approved an update to the airport's Part
150 program. This approval includes the establishment of a night
time (10 P.M. – 7 A. M.) preferential use of Runway 31 for
all departures, continued use of engine run-up sites, construction
to close a gap in a noise barrier wall, adoption of ‘close-in’
noise abatement procedures, establishment of an acquisition program
for property in the forecast 70-75 DNL or higher noise contour and
creation of an airport noise overlay district. |
