NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES

Over-Ocean Operations: This procedure provides some relief from arriving aircraft noise to those close-in communities to the east of the Airport between the hours of 0000 and 0630. During this period, aircraft approach the Airport from over the ocean toward the east and depart over the ocean toward the west, unless the ATC determines that the weather conditions are unsafe for such operations. Early Turn Restrictions: Pilots of all aircraft departing toward the west shall maintain runway heading until past the shoreline before commencing any turns unless specifically instructed otherwise by the ATC. Helicopter Operating Procedures: Helicopter operators with a valid Operating Agreement with LAWA, including a signed Letter of Agreement, are subject to conditions as described. All operators shall comply with the ATC requirements and procedures pertaining to helicopter routes and altitudes within the Los Angeles Class B Airspace; operators arriving or departing the Airport shall utilize the flight routes designated by the FAA for Visual Flight Rules (VFR) and Special Visual Flight Rules (SVFR) operations; operators are requested to utilize the southerly industrial route when arriving or departing the Airport during SVFR operations, unless instructed otherwise by ATC; operators will, in addition to using FAA designated flight routes, maintain an altitude of 2,000 feet, weather, traffic and safety permitting; operators shall use noise abatement approach and departure flight techniques; operators shall avoid nighttime (2200 to 0700) operations except in extreme emergency cases; training operations are prohibited, such as touch-and-go, stop- and-go, and low approach, except for FAA certification flights; operators shall provide an identification symbol as prescribed by LAWA; prior to issuance of a helicopter operating agreement, operators are required to develop, implement and file with the Board of Airport Commissioners a "Fly Neighborly Program"; operators shall keep their "Fly Neighborly Program" current; and all helicopter operating agreements shall be issued for a period not longer than five years. Imperial Terminal Procedures: All turboprops over 65,000 pounds MGLW or all turbojets arriving at Imperial Terminal will taxi to a position on taxiway A where engines will be shut down and the aircraft towed to its assigned parking position. On departure, these aircraft will also be towed to the taxiway and positioned facing east or west prior to starting engines. Jet engine runs and run-ups, and turbine-based ground power units are prohibited on the ramp and auxiliary power units may only be operated when required during tow-in or out.

COMMENTS

Over the years, the City of Los Angeles and LAWA have implemented a series of noise control measures for aircraft operating at LAX to reduce the noise impacts on the surrounding community. In addition to the measures listed above, they include: Early Turn Restrictions and Notification Program -Pilots of all aircraft departing toward the west shall maintain runway heading until past the shoreline before commencing any turns unless specifically instructed otherwise by the ATC. -LAWA monitors all early turns to the north and south on a monthly basis; verifies whether it was instructed by the ATC using recordings of ATC communications with pilots; prepares notification letters and graphics to send to the airlines; and generates a monthly report that is forwarded to interested communities, the FAA, and other interested parties. Airport Noise Complaint Response Program -LAWA maintains a noise complaint phone line (310-64NOISE) and a noise complaint form on the Airport’s web site that are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week for concerned residents to contact the Airport. Each complaint is logged in the noise complaint database. Currently, staff will investigate the first incident of disturbance for the first five noise complaints reported per month for each household. Response letters are provided to those residents requesting a written response to their noise complaints. A monthly summary report is generated each month and is available on the LAWA web site. In-Flight Monitoring Program -LAWA monitors specific arrival and departure procedures for compliance with described minimum altitudes and/or location of aircraft, etc, as established by the FAA or contained in the Aircraft Noise Abatement Operating Procedures and Restrictions section of the LAX Rules and Regulations. In addition to the programs previously described, these include the following procedures: -Short Turns -Monterey Park Overflights -Go-arounds -Loop Departure Procedure -Palos Verdes Peninsula Overflights Land Use Mitigation Program -LAWA established a supplemental funding program to help noise-impacted jurisdictions implement residential sound insulation programs and/or land acquisition programs to convert incompatible land uses to compatible land uses as defined by State Noise Standards. This program provides funding to the eligible jurisdictions who are participating in the Federal Part 150 Noise Compatibility Program (NCP) and receive AIP grant funds to sound insulate dwellings and/or purchase incompatible land uses. LAX Community Noise Roundtable -The LAX Community Noise Roundtable was created in September 2000 and is intended to reduce and mitigate the adverse noise impacts that the users of Los Angeles International Airport create on the surrounding communities and their environs. Membership of the Roundtable consists of local elected officials and staff, representatives of congressional offices, members of recognized community groups, the FAA, the ATA and LAWA Management. This forum provides a mechanism that attempts to insure cooperation between the Airport and local impacted communities in achieving noise impact reduction to those communities wherever possible. The Roundtable meets the second Wednesday of every odd numbered month. Part 161 Study -LAWA is in the process of preparing a complete Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) Part 161 Study for submittal to the FAA. The intent of this study is as follows: -Establish a local noise restriction at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) that would prohibit the easterly departure of all aircraft, with certain exemptions, between the hours of 12:00 Midnight to 6:30 a.m. when the Airport is in Over-Ocean Operations, or when it remains in Westerly Operations during these hours.
