Noise Compatibility Program

FAA's Response to SDL's Study Recommendations

This document is the Noise Compatibility Program (NCP) Update prepared for Scottsdale Airport, which is owned and operated by the City of Scottsdale, Arizona. The NCP is the second of two parts required for a Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) Title 14, Part 150 Noise Compatibility Study. It includes Chapters Five, Six, and Seven of the study, in addition to five appendices. The first volume, Noise Exposure Maps (NEM), was published in September 2004.
