Introduction This report is prepared for the Rhode Island General Assembly in conformance with the Permanent Noise Monitoring Act of 1998, as amended. It contains statistical information on aircraft operations, activity levels by aircraft types, and noise complaints for the Second Quarter, 2005. T. F. Green Airport is a medium-hub commercial service airport located in Warwick, RI. It serves the Rhode Island, Southern Massachusetts and Eastern Connecticut communities. In the mid-1990s, Southwest airlines began service at T.F. Green which resulted in a significant increase in aircraft operations and the ability for travelers in the southern New England area to reach many destinations easily and affordably. The airport has two active runways, 5-23 and 16-34. Runway 5-23 is 7,166 feet long and 150’ feet wide. It is oriented in a north/south direction and serves as the primary runway for large turbojet operations. Runway 16-34 is the “crosswind” runway oriented in a northwest/southeast direction. It is 6,081 feet long and 150 feet wide and is utilized as weather conditions dictate. T.F. Green was among the first airports in the country to participate in the Federal Aviation Administration’s Noise and Land Use Compatibility Program, commonly referred to as Part 150. Under the direction of the State of Rhode Island and now the Rhode Island Airport Corporation, T. F. Green Airport has had an active noise mitigation program since the early 1980s. In 1998, RIAC undertook a complete update of the original Part 150 Study and recommended several new operations procedures designed to minimize noise impacts on surrounding communities. The center of these recommendations involved the implementation of noise abatement departure procedures for turbojet aircraft. In June 2000, the FAA approved these new procedures and the local air traffic control tower implemented the assigned departure headings in an effort to reduce the number of persons adversely affected by aircraft operations.

Permanent Noise Monitoring Act In 1998, the Rhode Island Legislature enacted Title 1, Aeronautics, Chapter 1-5, Permanent Noise Monitoring Act – Aircraft Operations Monitoring System (AOMS). This Act requires the Rhode Island Airport Corporation (RIAC) to install an aircraft operations monitoring system. Once installed, RIAC is to collect and report on a quarterly basis detailed and summary information related to the operation of aircraft at Green Airport. This document is generated to meet those requirements. The AOMS is a stand-alone system that has five (5) radar sensors deployed throughout the State of Rhode Island (see Figure 1). These sensors receive specific aircraft information from all aircraft with transponders operating within 20 miles of T. F. Green Airport. This information is delivered real-time to the Noise Program Manager where it is correlated daily and displayed on a computer screen. The data is archived for use in generating reports. Information collected includes; aircraft type, flight number, registration number, altitude, arrival/departure status and the origin or destination.

The use of five sensors throughout the state allows for a greater accuracy in identifying the flight tracks. This system is independent from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) air traffic control radar. The movement of aircraft to and from an airport is the responsibility of FAA Air Traffic Control.

Passenger Activity Airports use two different criterions to measure activity for an airport, the number of operations and passengers. This section discusses the passenger activity levels associated with aircraft operations at T. F Green Airport. Passenger levels are growing at T. F. Green Airport. During the second quarter, passenger levels increased approximately 7% over the same quarter 2004. T.F. Green served approximately 1,529,360 passengers during the quarter. During the month of May, 511,421 passengers, the highest number of passengers for a single month in over 5 years, used T. F. Green. The second quarter 2005 continues the trend of increased passenger growth for the Airport. Figure 2 shows the steady increase in the number of passengers that have utilized the airport via scheduled air carriers, commuter and charter flights since 2002.

Aircraft Operations Aircraft operations can be classified in a number of ways including by type of aircraft, arrivals/departures, origin/destination, airline fleet, Part 36 (relative noisiness) and time of day. To present the overall perspective of operations, Table 1, highlights the arrivals and departures of all aircraft by runway at T. F. Green Airport. In general aircraft must take off into the wind, therefore, aircraft also arrive into the wind to remain consistent with the traffic flow and avoid aircraft departing and arriving in the same direction.

As previously stated there are two runways at T. F. Green, 5-23 and 16-34. Runways are given numbers based on the compass heading for each runway end. By designating each runway end, the Tower and pilots know which direction to land or depart. For example, Runway 5 has a compass heading of 050 degrees and is oriented to the north. Aircraft operating on this runway will depart to the north and arrive from the south. Conversely, Runway 23 has a heading of 230 degrees and is oriented to the south. Aircraft operating on Runway 23 will depart to the south and arrive from the north.

Total Operations The Aircraft Operations Monitoring System (AOMS) collected 26,939 flight tracks during this reporting period. There were 13,275 departures and 13,664 arrivals for an average 299 operations per day. The Federal Aviation Administration reported 31,005 aircraft operations. The difference between the number of operations collected by AOMS and the FAA can be attributed to a number of factors including the system was non-operational for approximately 8 days during the quarter. The data collected by the AOMS is for analysis purposes only. The official count of operations for an airport is maintained by the FAA. Table 1 depicts aircraft operations by runway and operation type.1 Table 1: Total Operations by Runway, 2nd Quarter 2005

Departures occurred predominantly to the south on Runway 23 with the majority of the arrivals from the north on Runway 23. As the weather turned warmer, an increased use of Runway 23 occurred as well as a decrease in the number of operations utilizing the crosswind runway (Runway 16-34). Figure 3, depicts this runway use graphically over an aerial view of the airport

The rest of this section will highlight the scheduled air carrier and cargo operations. Since these operations are the primary focus of the noise abatement efforts and Part 150 Study as well as the predominant operator category at the airport.

Part 36 Certification During the 2nd Quarter of 2005 there were approximately 9,410 departures of commercial aircraft from T. F. Green Airport, which averages out to approximately 105 operations per day. This number includes air carrier and cargo operations. The overall percentage of pure Stage 3 aircraft operating at T. F. Green Airport is 99% or 9,410 operations during this quarter. Figure 4: Schedule Departures by Noise Classification, 2004 - 2005

Source: RIAC, Airline Activity Reports and Operations Monitoring System, 2005.

The airlines accounted for 9,328 (98%) of the 9,534 commercial departures from T. F. Green Airport, (Table 4). The airlines are operating at 99% pure Stage 3 aircraft and less than 1% Stage 3 compliant (hushkitted Stage 2 aircraft). All airline operations are scheduled to occur between 6:00 a.m. and midnight. Table 2 also illustrates each scheduled air carrier’s contribution to daily flights and percentage use of the quietest aircraft.

Late Night Operations (Midnight – 6:00 a.m.) RIAC has implemented a voluntary nighttime curfew for operations between midnight and 6:00 a.m. RIAC continual works with the airlines, no flights are scheduled during this time period. However, should a flight be delayed for weather or mechanical reasons, it will continue to operate so that passengers will not be unduly disrupted. Scheduled commercial airlines conducted the greatest number of late night operations, closely followed by general aviation, (privately owned aircraft). Commercial aircraft conducted 158 operations during curfew hours including 117 air carrier operations. The majority of all late night operations, 147 or 64%, occurred between midnight and 1:00 a.m. are comprised mainly of arrivals.

2 Cargo operations accounted for approximately 1 operation per day.

United Airlines and U.S. Air operated the most late night operations. It should be noted that this accounts for a small percentage of the individual airlines total operations at T. F. Green. The majority of these operations were arrivals attributed to weather or air traffic delays at the originating airports. Figure 6: Late Night Operations, by Airline, 2nd Quarter 2005

Part 150 Noise Abatement Corridor Compliance The Part 150 Noise Study Update recommended the implementation of noise abatement departure corridors to limit the number of persons adversely affected by aircraft noise near T. F. Green. After an FAA Environmental Impact Statement, RIAC implemented the use of noise abatement corridors beginning in June 2001. There are a total of eight corridors, comprised of at least one departure corridor per runway and one arrival corridor for Runway 34. For most runway ends; there are two flight tracks that jet aircraft may follow. The heading they are issued is based on their destination. The flight corridors are depicted in Figures 8 and 9:

Runway 5: Northbound Departures (D5NA): Jet aircraft will turn left as soon as practicable after passing runway end to fly a 360-degreee heading until reaching 3 DME (Distance Measuring Equipment). Southbound Departures (D5SB): Jet aircraft will turn right to a 080-degree heading until reaching 3 DME, passing over Passeonkquis Cove, Gaspee Point Beach and Narrangansett Bay. Runway 23: Northbound Departures (D2SA): Jet aircraft will turn left as soon as practicable after passing runway end to a 160-degree heading until reaching 5 DME or intercepting the 180-degree radial (whichever occurs first). This measure is intended to route traffic over Greenwich Bay and along the north edge of Goddard Memorial State Park. Southbound Departures (D2NA): Jet aircraft will turn right as soon as practicable after passing runway end to a 280-degree heading until reaching 3 DME. This measure is intended to direct departures under 3,000’ over compatible land use areas in Apponaug along I-95 and SR 115. Runway 16: Southbound Departures (D1SA): Jet aircraft will turn right to a 180-degree heading until reaching 3 DME or intercepting the PVD VORTAC 180-degree radial. This measure is intended to direct departures over compatible land use areas along Brush Creek Cove and Greenwich Bay. Runway 34: Northbound Departures (D3NA): Jet aircraft will turn left as soon as practicable after passing runway end to a 330-degree heading until reaching 4 DME. This measure is intended to direct departures along compatible land use areas located along SR37 and I-295. Southbound Departures (D3SA): Jet aircraft will turn right to a 360-degree heading until reaching 3 DME. This measure is intended to direct departures along compatible land use areas along I-95 and the Pawtuxet River corridors. Runway 34: Arrivals (A3SA): Jet aircraft will intercept the final approach course before crossing the shoreline at Rocky Point Beach on Warwick Neck (4 DME from the PVD VORTAC). This measure is intended to keep jet aircraft following the same course along the extended runway centerline from beyond the shoreline.

3 During the quarter, the AOMS software was upgraded to improve data collection and runway matching algorithms. This

resulted in the need for the data to be reprocessed to maximize the accuracy of the data. There were also approximately

8 days in which the system did not collect data. Therefore, the total number of operations captured by the AOMS is less

than the total number of operations reported by the air carriers or the Air Traffic Control Tower.

Noise Complaints RIAC has instituted several methods for citizens concerned about aircraft noise to voice their opinions. RIAC is committed to minimizing the effects of aircraft generated noise on the Warwick and Cranston Communities through the use of operational procedures and noise mitigation programs. Citizens can call the noise hotline and leave a message, submit a complaint via the web page or call the noise office directly. Figure 10: Total Noise Complaints by Quarter, 2004-2005

As seen in Figure 10, during the Second Quarter 2005, RIAC received 292 complaints from 91 callers. Of these calls, 118 complaints or 40% were received from a single household. The 3rd quarter, when the weather is warmest is typically when most complaints are received. This is due to the fact that individuals have their homes open and are enjoying the summer weather.
