FAA's Response to SDL's Study Recommendations

This document is the Noise Exposure Map document prepared for the City of Scottsdale, owner and operator of Scottsdale Airport. The Noise Exposure Maps presented in this document are intended to update and supersede the Noise Exposure Maps accepted by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on June 6, 1996. The Noise Exposure Maps documentation for the Airport presents current aircraft noise impacts and anticipated impacts in five years. The documentation contains sufficient information so that reviewers unfamiliar with local conditions and the local public unfamiliar with the technical aspects of aircraft noise can understand the findings. This Noise Exposure Maps document includes the first four chapters of the complete Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 150 Noise Compatibility Study. The second volume, Noise Compatibility Program (NCP) was published in May 2005.
