DISCLAIMER

This report contains a summary of data collected over the specified period and is intended to convey the best

information available from the NFPMS at the time. The system databases are to some extent dependent upon

external sources and errors may occur. All care is taken in preparation of the report but its complete accuracy

can not be guaranteed. Airservices Australia does not accept any legal liability for any losses arising from

reliance upon data in this report which may be found to be inaccurate.

Air Services Australia has established a Noise and Flight Path Monitoring System (NFPMS) at

Australia's majr airports. Operated from a single control centre, the system monitors aircraft

operations and their environmental effects at airports across the Australian continent. This report

contains a summary of data collected by the Cairns component of the NFPMS for the first quarter

(January to March) of 2011.

During quarter one Cairns NFPMS detected 9,890 arrivals and 9,806 departures, a total of 19,696

movements, which is less than 3.70% of the average over the previous 12 months (4 quarters).

71.1% of the arrivals and 71.7% of departures used runway 15. The total number of movements

for the quarter is an increase of 1,012 movements compared to the same quarter of the previous

year.

The noise monitors at Yorkeys Knob, Holloways Beach and Cairns North detected a total of

19,057 aircraft noise events above 70 dB(A) for quarter 1 of 2011. The breakdown of these

reveal an increase (comparative to the previous 12 months) of approximately 13.4% for the most

northern monitor and an increase of 3.8% for the monitor to the south of the airport. The noise

levels for individual aircraft types detected at the monitors were approximately the same (that is

wtihin 1 standard deviation) as those recorded over the last 5 quarters. The noisiest aircraft during

this quarter was the Mcdonnell-Douglas - MD-80 Series; 90.2 dB(A) at Cairns North,

Mcdonnell-Douglas - Globemaster 3; 94.9 dB(A) at Holloways Beach and 85.1 dB(A) at Yorkeys

Knob.

Cairns airport was closed from approximately 09:30am on 02 February to 10:30am on 03 February due to cyclone Yassi at which time each noise monitoring terminal (NMT) was operational and collecting noise data. However due to nil flights operating at the time, the total number of correlated noise events and daily averages within table 1 will be slightly affected for each NMT. Flow on affects may also be seen in Appendices B, C, D and E.

1. INTRODUCTION

Under its environmental responsibilities, Airservices Australia (AA) has established a Noise and Flight Path Monitoring System (NFPMS) at Australia's major airports. An overview of the NFPMS is shown in Appendix A. A map displaying all noise and flight path monitoring locations in Australia is shown in Figure 1.

This report is a summary of data collected by the Cairns segment of the system over the first quarter (January to March) 2011. The data used within this report has been obtained from an upgraded NFPMS system. As a result, some slight changes to the presented graphics may exist.

Figure 1: Noise and flight path monitoring locations in Australia



2. NMT LOCATIONS AND NOISE DATA SUMMARIES

The Cairns component of the NFPMS has three permanently installed Noise Monitoring Terminals (NMTs) which are strategically located around Cairns Airport as shown in Figure 2 and listed in Table 1.

The A-weighted average noise exposure levels (LAeq) for the current and preceding 4 quarters at

each NMT are contained in Table 1, the values for the night period (23:00 to 6:00 each day) are



given in brackets. These noise levels encompass the whole environment (including aircraft) as measured at each NMT. Also included in Table 1 are the number of correlated noise events (CNE), and the N70, N80 and N90 values for each NMT during the quarter. N70 is calculated by dividing the total number of CNE equal to or greater than 70 dB(A) detected during the quarter by the number of days in the quarter that the NMT is in operation (Op Days). For N80 and N90, the noise thresholds are 80 dB(A) and 90 dB(A) respectively.

Appendix B includes graphs showing the daily value of N70 at each NMT excluding days where an NMT was not operational for a full 24 hours. In some cases an NMT may suffer a hardware outage, for example during routine maintenance. The caption under each graph details such outages for each NMT during the quarter. The distribution of N70 values is also included in Appendix B.

3. QUARTERLY TRACK DATA

3.1. Quarterly track density plots.

The quarterly track density plot is a map which displays the pattern of aircraft flight tracks passing over the region around the airport during the quarter. The system analyses the number of flights passing over each grid element of an array defined by the user. Grid elements of 200m x 200m have been adopted as a standard. The track density plot provides a useful indication of the general patterns of the flight operations.

Figure 3 shows the quarterly track density plot for all aircraft operations for the first quarter of 2011. The colour coding from green to red represents the range 180 to 1800 flight tracks (ie. 2 per day to 20 or more per day) over a grid element. If any grid element is not colour-coded, the number of aircraft flight tracks passing over that element during the quarter was less than 180, ie. less than 2 flights per day on average. The grey circles within Figure 3 show the location of each NMT.

For comparison purposes, the quarterly track density plot for jet operations only for the quarter is shown in Figure 4.

3.2. Jet track plots.

Plots of actual tracks for arrivals and departures of individual aircraft type or group can also be obtained from the system. Figures 5 and 6 show the track plots for jet arrivals and departures over the one-week period 2nd to 8th March 2011. These tracks have been coloured according to the aircraft height above ground level. Note that using the upgraded NFPMS, Figures 5 and 6 present track plots in height above ground level. This is slightly different to the previous system where track plots were presented in altitude (height above sea level).

• Red when less than 1000ft

• Orange between 1000ft and 3000ft

• Yellow between 3000ft and 5000ft

• Green above 5000ft.

These heights have been chosen in accordance with the criteria in the document “Environmental

Principles and Procedures for Minimising the Impact of Aircraft Noise”. This document can be found

on the Airservices Australia’s web site:

www.airservicesaustralia.com/projectsservices/reports/principleprocedures.pdf

3.3. Non-jet and helicopter track plots. Non-jet operations are principally the operations of propeller and turbo-prop aircraft. The track plots for the period 2nd to 8th March 2011 for arriving and departing non-jet aircraft and helicopters are shown in Figures 7 and 8 respectively. The same colour coding used for jet track plots is used in these figures. Note that using the upgraded NFPMS, Figures 7 and 8 present track plots in height above ground level. This is slightly different to the previous system where track plots were presented in altitude (distance above sea level). For both arrivals and departures by non-jets, the tracks disperse from the runway centrelines closer to the airport, to allow a clear path for jets, which are significantly faster.

The red tracks heading east over the ocean are mainly due to helicopter joy flights out to the various reefs and islands.

4. AIRCRAFT MOVEMENT AND AIRCRAFT NOISE DATA

4.1. Movement statistics.

Movement statistics for Cairns Airport expressed in monthly figures are shown in Table 2. These figures are calculated from the data collected by NFPMS. Explanations of the terms shown in Table 2 can be found in the Glossary section on Pages 6 and 7. The figures are based on The Australian Advanced Air Traffic System (TAAATS) data.

Table 2 also covers the runway usage for arrivals and departures individually and as a total for each runway. Although their flight tracks may be available on NFPMS, TAAATS does not always provide operational details for movements by helicopters and light propeller-driven aircraft. This is the main reason that the Table includes figures for operations by miscellaneous General Aviation aircraft, or aircraft with indeterminate runway (I). Also there is runway (W) for sea planes and helicopters taking off and landing on water.

The total number of monthly arrival (A) and departure (D) movements of all types (jets, non-jets and helicopters) at Cairns Airport for January was 6688, for February was 6133 and for March was 6875. The total number of movements for all aircraft types during the quarter was 19696.

Note that a training operation involving multiple circuits is counted by the system as a single movement, which may be arrival or departure. This is the reason that numbers of arrivals may differ from the corresponding numbers of departures. It is also the reason that movement numbers obtained from TAAATS data may differ from other ATC-sourced data.

In addition to the movement numbers of Table 2 the NFPMS detected 1605 local area operations which both originated and terminated at the airport. Some of these were General Aviation aircraft operations involved multiple training circuits at the airport.

Movement data for the preceding 4 quarters are given in Table 3.

4.2. Night movement statistics.

Movement statistics for aircraft operating during the night hours (23:00 to 6:00) for Cairns Airport are shown in Table 3. The total number of movements during night hours in the first quarter of 2011 was 1081.

4.3. Daily runway usage per calendar month for arrivals and departures during the quarter.

The daily runway usage of all aircraft types (jets, non-jets, helicopters and emergency aircraft) for arrivals, departures and total movements during the quarter is shown in Appendix C. Note a separate table is given for each month.

4.4. Hourly movements per calendar month for arrivals and departures during the quarter.

The three tables of Appendix D contain the hourly movements averaged over each month of the quarter for all aircraft movements operating in and out of the airport including helicopters and emergency aircraft. The data in Appendix D are calculated for whole clock hours within the day.

4.5. Quarterly aircraft average noise levels.

Appendix E presents a summary of movement numbers and noise levels recorded over the quarter for jet and non-jet aircraft types. It shows the actual movements and the correlated noise events of aircraft types operating on specific runways together with the average maximum sound pressure levels and standard deviations of the maxima for overflights by each type at each NMT. The terms used in the data output are explained in the Glossary. The data is sorted in order of descending maximum sound pressure levels for the 25 noisiest types/operations at each NMT.

4.6. Data included in Appendix E.

It may be noted in Appendix E that in some cases there is a difference between the reported number of aircraft movements and the number of correlated noise events.

A noise event occurs when a noise being measured at an NMT stays above a preset level for a preset time duration. When that condition occurs, the NFPMS looks at the radar input to see whether there is an aircraft track within a preset radius around the NMT location. If there is, the noise event is correlated with that aircraft track and registered as a correlated noise event.

Differences between the number of aircraft movements and the number of correlated noise events may be due to the following:

(i) For aircraft operations which are not relatively close to the NMT location, the noise levels received from the aircraft may be below the event threshold level. This results in less correlated noise events than actual aircraft movements.

(ii) Noise events may not be correlated with aircraft tracks due to radar system downtime or transponders on the aircraft being turned off. This also results in less correlated noise events than actual aircraft movements.

(iii) In some cases, extraneous noise events caused by sources other than aircraft occur concurrently with an aircraft operation, and are coincidentally correlated with an aircraft track in the vicinity of the NMT. This may result in more correlated noise events than actual aircraft movements.

For larger data samples, the absence or mistaken identity of some noise events will have minimal effect on the mean data presented in the report. Data for small sample sizes may however not be truly representative. A minimum total of six over flights have been used to establish a mean noise level. As a result, it should be noted that with this small sample size the mean noise level can be viewed as being less accurate.



APPENDIX A

An overview of the Noise and Flight Path Monitoring System



A. SYSTEM OVERVIEW

A.1. System configuration and features.

The NFPMS is the world's largest, most geographically-spread system of its type. The complete system is operated and controlled from AA Head Office in Canberra.

Around each of the airports are a number of noise monitoring terminals (NMTs). The NMT basically consists of a microphone, atop a mast of 6m height, and an electronics box. The noise level to which the microphone is exposed over the range 30 to 130 dB(A) is continuously measured and then transmitted, via a data line, to the NFPMS central computer where it is processed and stored for later analysis. Apart from measuring the aircraft noise, the NMT also continuously monitors the background noise levels.

Through the TAAATS system, the NFPMS acquires flight track and operational information on aircraft operating in and out of the airport.

On a map display for each airport, the system displays the noise levels measured by each of the NMTs and the flight tracks of the aircraft in the vicinity of the airport.

When the level and duration of noise from any noise source in the vicinity of an NMT exceed the threshold level and duration which have been set for the NMT, a "noise event" is recorded. The time at which the noise event is recorded at the NMT location is then checked against movement times and radar tracks of aircraft operating in the vicinity. If the time and NMT location of the noise event match the movement time and radar track of an aircraft, the noise event is attributed to that aircraft , i.e. it becomes a “correlated noise event”. Otherwise, it is regarded as part of the background noise.

The incoming data is stored in the central computer and can be recalled to display the tracks flown by any user selection of aircraft operations, together with the noise levels which those operations produced at the NMTs. The track information includes aircraft identity, altitude and speed.

The system includes statistical and acoustical software to undertake analyses of noise or flight track information as required by the user.

Automatically and regularly, the NFPMS produces reports that contain tabular and graphical summaries of noise and aircraft movement data for each airport over selected time periods.

The system includes the capability to analyse aircraft tracks, by selecting and listing the tracks which have passed through defined windows and corridors. The analysis can be selective, e.g. on specification of aircraft type or the route being flown.



A.2. System applications.

The NFPMS collects noise and flight path data 24 hours a day, seven days per week. It also accumulates flight plan and weather data.

The information collected is used by AA to:

• determine the contribution of aircraft to overall noise exposure;

• detect occurrences of excessive noise levels from aircraft operations;

• assess the effects of operational and administrative procedures for noise control andcompliance with these procedures;

• assist in planning of airspace usage;

• validate noise forecasts and forecasting techniques;

• assist relevant authorities in land-use planning for developments on areas in thevicinity of an airport;

• provide reports to, and responses to questions from, Government and other Members of Parliament, industry organisations, airport owners, community groups and individuals; and

• assist in answering noise complaints about aircraft operations from the general public.
