The Aviation Environmental Design Tool (AEDT) Version 3g is a Federal Aviation Administration software system used to model aircraft operations and calculate their environmental impacts, including noise, emissions, and fuel consumption. This Quick Start Tutorial guides users through building basic noise and emissions studies, covering steps such as adding airports, creating flight tracks, setting up receptors, and running metric results. The tool is relevant to airport noise policy analysis, as it provides a structured method for quantifying and evaluating the environmental effects of aviation activity around airports like Sea-Tac.

This glossary from an FAA planning document defines key aviation terms used in airport operations and air traffic control, including types of aircraft operations (local and itinerant), radar systems, and airspace classifications. It covers planning concepts such as the Airport Master Plan, Airport Layout Plan, and Airport System Planning, as well as operational facilities like the Airport Traffic Control Tower and Air Route Traffic Control Center. These definitions provide a standardized reference for understanding airport development, airspace management, and noise-related policy discussions at facilities like Sea-Tac Airport.

The Fresh 80 and Fresh 80-dB are Swedish-made wall ventilators designed for quick installation through an exterior wall, offering fully adjustable and closeable airflow with 360-degree draft-free diffusion. The 80-dB model includes telescoping sound-insulating tubing adaptable to various wall thicknesses, making it suitable for noise-sensitive environments. Maintenance involves washing the built-in filter once or twice a year and can be adapted for use by handicapped individuals using extended cords.

The FAA Airport Compliance Manual (Order 5190.6B), effective September 30, 2009, provides guidance to FAA personnel on ensuring that airport sponsors meet their federal obligations when they accept federal funds or property for airport purposes. It analyzes grant assurances, surplus property conditions, and other legal commitments that airports must uphold, and outlines the compliance program's objectives, responsibilities, and enforcement procedures. The manual is administered by the FAA's Airport Compliance Division and serves as the authoritative reference for interpreting and managing airport sponsor obligations nationwide.

This 1979 Airport Noise Control Procedure Manual, approved by Oregon's Department of Environmental Quality, outlines the procedural steps required for compliance with noise control regulations for airports (OAR 340-35-045). It describes how the Department calculates Noise Impact Boundaries for non-air-carrier airports, including the flight operational data and mapping information needed to make accurate assessments. The manual was issued under the authority of ORS Chapter 467 and was designed to minimize the administrative burden on smaller airport facilities.
