Meeting agenda for the New York Community Aviation Roundtable featuring presentations from Delta Airlines on their Sustainable Skies Lab, Port Authority on Fly Quiet Programs and Part 150 Studies, and an FAA video on aircraft operations at LGA and JFK airports.

Airlines are given scores based upon 4 criteria:  Noise levels of take‐offs and landings  Adherence levels to SEA Noise Abatement flight procedures  Adherence to SEA ground maintenance engine run‐up rules (‐100 points for each violation)  Limiting noise exceedances during late night hours (from ‐1 to ‐5 points for each exceedance*) Award winning airlines in red Airline Noise Level Score Flight Procedures Score Engine Run‐up Score Late Night Noise Score Total Fly Quiet Score Spirit Airlines 299 397 696 Frontier Airlines 298 396 694 SkyWest Airlines 301 392 693 Volaris 298 394 692 Japan Airlines 287 400 687 All Nippon Airways 286 398 684 Horizon Air 284 397 681 British Airways 278 400 678 Southwest Airlines 271 394 ‐2 663 JetBlue 270 390 660 American Airlines 256 395 ‐1 650 Aeromexico 249 398 647 Alaska Airlines 256 397 ‐8 645 United Airlines 246 396 ‐7 635 EVA Airways 259 400 ‐25 634** Lufthansa 237 396 633 ABX Air 236 399 ‐4 631 Hawaiian Airlines 234 400 ‐4 630 Emirates Airlines 225 400 625 Omni Air 229 386 ‐1 614 Qatar Airways 216 398 614 Kalitta Air 234 392 ‐47 579 Korean Air 206 400 ‐65 541 Delta Air Lines 258 395 ‐100 ‐41 512 Cargolux 185 398 ‐212 371 Air Transport Intl' 247 385 ‐268 364 Asiana Airlines 194 400 ‐348 246 FedEx Express 222 394 ‐537 79 China Airlines Cargo 163 400 ‐574 0 **most improved *SEL decibel noise thresholds during the hours of 12:00am to…

1. Create a more detailed report about compliance with Sea-Tac’s noise reduc- tion programs and broadly disseminate it to the public. 2. Implement an incentive program that will encourage airline compliance with noise abatement programs. 3. Research and develop new programs to communicate more effectively with key groups. 4. Analyze and invest in facilities and technologies that will decrease impacts from ground run-up noise. 5. Increase fines for ground run-up violations. 6. Encourage voluntary compliance with ground run-up restrictions on week- end mornings. 7. Implement new programs for airline mechanics that will increase their awareness and provide incentives to decrease ground run-up noise. The Port of Seattle has created a Fly Quiet Committee. This committee is a result of previous studies and recom- mendations. The goal of the Commit- tee is to find innovative ways to fur- ther reduce the impacts from aircraft noise. While significant progress has already been made through insula- tion, acquisition and noise abatement programs, there is always room for improvement. The Committee is mostly made up of citizens and city staff members from local communities. A list of members is shown on Page 2. Representatives from the Federal Aviation Administra- tion, Puget Sound Regional Council, pilots and mechanics also attend the meetings. Since its inception in July, the committee met in September, All future reports will be available online quarterly.
