    FAR Part 150 Study Table: Airport Noise Restrictions and FAR Part 161 Compliance Requirements

    A table from the Sea-Tac International Airport FAR Part 150 Study listing airport actions (such as limiting aircraft by noise level, time of day, type, and runway use) and indicating whether each action definitively requires FAR Part 161 compliance or may potentially trigger it. Actions including limiting training activities, restricting runway use, and lease provisions indirectly affecting noise are marked with '?' under 'Requires Part 161' but 'Yes' under 'May Trigger Part 161.'

    Aerial View of Sea-Tac Airport Showing Runways, SR-99 Corridor, and Adjacent Residential Land Uses

    Aerial photograph looking north toward Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (Sea-Tac), showing the airport's runways and terminal area in the background. In the foreground are a multi-lane highway (likely SR-99 or I-5 corridor), a wooded green buffer zone with a retention pond, and a residential apartment complex, illustrating the airport's relationship to surrounding land uses relevant to noise-policy planning.

    Aerial View of Sea-Tac Airport Runway Area and Surrounding Residential Development

    Aerial photograph looking north toward Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (Sea-Tac), showing the airport's runways and tarmac in the upper right, a curved highway interchange (likely SR-99 or I-5 corridor area), a retention pond surrounded by green space, and apartment complexes in the foreground. The image appears to document land use and development patterns in the airport noise-impact zone, likely in the SeaTac/Tukwila area of Washington State.

    DCA Reagan National – Nighttime Noise Rule

    DCA Nighttime Noise Rule History: Since 1941, Reagan National (DCA) has operated as a commercial airfield, 24-hours a day, 7-days a week. In the early 1980s, louder aircraft operating at Reagan National prompted the FAA – the original airport operator – to impose nighttime noise limits and the ability to fine non-compliant operations between 10 p.m. and 6:59 a.m. which became known

    Glossary of Commonly Used Acoustic and Air Traffic Control Terms

    This Port of Seattle glossary defines key acoustic and air traffic control terms used in airport noise policy discussions. It explains measurements like decibels (dB), A-weighted decibels (dBA), and the Day-Night Noise Level (DNL), which is a 24-hour average used to map noise exposure around Sea-Tac Airport. It also covers Federal Aviation Regulations (Parts 36, 91, and 161) that govern aircraft noise standards, phase-out schedules for older noisy aircraft, and the process for airports to adopt new noise rules.
