Allows an airport to be accredited as a “green airport,” and is offered by the Clean Airport Partnership, Inc.

6
Q

Biodiversity

A

Relates to the effects of wildlife on airports and the effects of aircraft noise on migrating and nesting patterns

7
Q

LEED Certification

A

Process that verifies whether or not a building or other infrastructure meets stringent environmentally safe building and related performance measures

8
Q

Who administers LEED certification?

A

Green Building Certification Institute (GBCI)

9
Q

What qualifications must buildings meet to be LEED Certified?

A

Lower operating costs and increased asset value; reducing waste sent to landfills; conserving energy and water; being healthier and safer for occupants; reducing harmful greenhouse gas emissions; qualifying for tax rebates, zoning allowance; demonstration of the owner’s commitment to environmental stewardship and social responsibility

10

What ratings are offered under LEED and what are their corresponding points?

A

Certified: 40-49; Silver: 50-59; Gold: 60-79; Platinum 80+

11
Q

Airport capacity is defined as:

A

the ability of a portion of airspace or an airport to handle a given volume of traffic (demand) within a specified period

12
Q

Practical Capacity

A

The rate at which aircraft can operate without exceeding a maximum acceptable level of delay

13
Q

Throughput Capacity

A

The rate at which aircraft can operate into or out of the airfield without regard to the amount of delay occured

14
Q

Practical Hourly Capacity (PHOCAP)

A

The total combined capacity measure of the runways, taxiways, and gate areas

15
Q

Practical Annual Capacity (PANCAP)

A

The level of operation that results in not more than 4 minutes average delay per aicraft

16
Q

Airport Acceptance Rate (AAR)

A

Used by ARTCCs to calculate the desired interval between successive arrival aircraft and is a measure of practical capacity

17
Q

Gate Capcity

A

Capacity that is a major concern to the airlines because of the impact it has on their net profits. This is affected by gate type, size, mix, and occupancy time

18
Q

What are some factors that increase/reduce delay?

A

Airfield characteristics, airspace characteristics, ATC, meteorological conditions, demand characterstics

19
Q

Ground Delay Programs

A

Used when arrival traffic is expected to approach capacity at an airport and holds traffic at the departure airport

20
Q

Airport Metering

A

Match the arrival of aircraft to the ability of the airport to handle the volume (known as acceptance rate)

21
Q

Slot Allocation

A

An administrative method where an airport operator allocates or restricts airport access by setting quotas on passenger enplanement or on the number and type of aircraft operations permitted

22
Q

Divert

A

Send GA traffic to reliever airports and redistributing commercial traffic from busy airports to underutilized airports

23
Q

Differential Pricing

A

Using peak hour surcharges in an attempt to manage demand by charging cost-based landing fees

24
Q

Slot

A

the authority of an aircraft to conduct an IFR operation at a high-density airport - a block of time allocated to an airport user to perform an aircraft operation

25
Q

NEPA of 1969

A

Required assessment of noise effects for airports starting major projects

26
Q

Courts have determined that who is responsible for airport noise?

A

The airport! Since they control the size, location, etc. the airport needs to protect the surrounding citzens

27
Q

Aviation Noise Abatement Policy

A

Identifies responsibilities of FAA, air carriers, airport operators, local government and communities for dealing with aircraft noise

28
Q

What does the FAA define sound as?

A

Sound that is unwanted - aircraft generally considered noise by most listeners and surrounding residents

29
Q

Decibel

A

Relative measure of sound measured in Pascals

30
Q

Equal Energy Rule

A

Over a given period of time people respond most predictably to the total noise energy they receive rather than a single noise vent

31
Q

Day/Night Average

A

24-hour sound level in A-weighted decibels from midnight to midnight; 10 dB added to sound levels between midnight and 7AM and 10AM; yearly DNL is the national metric for Part 150 studies

32
Q

Noise Contours, Integrated Noise Model (INM)

A

Standard for noise prediction; assess changes in noise from new or extended runway, new traffic demand and fleet mixes, revised airspace structures, and operational flight proceduresf

33
Q

Aviation Environmental Design Tool (AEDT)

A

Models aircraft performance, fuel consumption, emissions, noise, and air quality implications; full flight gate-to-gate analyses form single flights to global modeling levels

34
Q

Airports are recommended by the FAA to own property within what noise contour?

A

75 DNL contour

35
Q

FAR Part 150

A

The FAA’s formal noise study program that is required to be completed to receive AIP funding

36
Q

ANSA of 1979 required the FAA to establish what three requirements for noise compatibility planning and programs?

A

Single system for measuring noise at airports that can be uniformly applied; single measurement system for determining exposure to noise including intensity, duration, frequency, and time of the noise; identify compatible land uses given the noise meansured
