  1. BEYOND STAGE 3Building on ANCA’s Successes and Avoiding Its Failures 2001 Airport Noise Symposium San Diego, California STEVEN F. PFLAUM

  2. ANCA’S KEY OBJECTIVES 1. Stop spread of local noise restrictions 2. Reduce noise by requiring compliance with Stage 3 by year 2000

  3. ANCA’S CONSEQUENCES 1. No new local noise restrictions 2. All Stage 3 fleet of aircraft >75,000 pounds • Development of hushkits 3. Growth in residential sound insulation programs

  4. RESIDENTIAL SOUND INSULATION PROGRAMSReasons for Their Growth  Billions have been spent  Virtual ban on noise restrictions by FAR Part 161  Communities cannot be ignored

  5. RESIDENTIAL SOUND INSULATION PROGRAMSBoon or Boondoggle?  Measure efficacy against objectives  Don’t confuse means with end  Why do we care about noise impacts?

  6. COMMUNITY ANNOYANCE

  7. RESIDENTIAL SOUND INSULATION PROGRAMS  Need to know effect on percentage of people highly annoyed

  8. IMPORTANCE OF LEARNING LESSONS FROM ANCA  Stage 4 standards will be established  Congress will have to decide whether to go beyond what ICAO decides

  9. DISTINCT ISSUES  Stage 4 standard for new certificated aircraft • CAEP/5 agreement  Application of Stage 4 standard to new manufactured aircraft • No CAEP/5 agreement  Phase-out of Stage 3 aircraft • No CAEP/5 agreement

  10. ANCA’S KEY OBJECTIVES 1. Stop spread of local noise ordinances 2. Reduce noise by requiring compliance with Stage 3 by year 2000

  11. ANCA II’S KEY OBJECTIVES 1. Avoid spread of local noise ordinances 2. Further reduce noise by requiring or encouraging fleet-wide compliance with Stage 4

  12. BASIC OPTIONSFOR “ANCA II”  One “do nothing” alternative  Two interim alternatives  Two Stage 3 phase-out alternatives

  13. OPTIONS FOR “ANCA II”Option No. 1:The Do Nothing Alternative  Don’t go beyond CAEP/5 agreement  Rely on aging to phase out Stage 3 aircraft

  14. OPTIONS FOR “ANCA II”Option No. 2:Stage 4 Manufacturing Alternative  Require all manufactured aircraft to comply with Stage 4 by date certain

  15. OPTIONS FOR “ANCA II”Option No. 3:The Anti-Hushkit Alternative  Ban operation of hushkitted Stage 3 aircraft • The European Union proposal

  16. OPTIONS FOR “ANCA II”Options 4 & 5:Stage 3 Phase-Out Alternatives 1. Ban new aircraft unless Stage 4 2. Non-addition rule 3. Either permit or prohibit recertification of aircraft as Stage 4 • Recertification would encourage hushkits

  17. “ANCA II”The Preferred Solution  Key is ambitious Stage 4 standard • CAEP/5 is inadequate

  18. WHY CAEP/5 IS DISAPPOINTING  Established 2006 standard that nearly all large aircraft being built already meet  Weak Stage 4 standard prompted by concern about Stage 3 phase-out • But does not require phase-out  “Balanced approach”: a step backward?

  19. “ANCA II”The Preferred Solution  Key is ambitious Stage 4 standard • CAEP/5 is inadequate • Strive for long-term meaningful noise reduction  If CAEP/5 is adopted • Apply Stage 4 standard to all manufactured aircraft by 2003 • Consider phase-out of hushkitted planes

  20. FUTURE OF RESIDENTIAL SOUND INSULATION PROGRAMS  Independent of ANCA II  Need to know effect on percentage of people highly annoyed
