Dear(Air Carrier Or CEO),
As a long-time resident of Newport Beach, I have become increasingly concerned about the most recent path that planes use when departing John Wayne Airport.
Prior to the FAA’s implementation of Next Gen, the residents of our city had a successful relationship with the airport due to our noise abatement procedures and our Settlement Agreement. In fact, Newport Beach is a community of residents who fly often and almost all of us use JWA.Our airport, JWA sits on only 500 acres close to residential areas, many of which were here when it was only for general aviation.
Unfortunately, now the Next Gen program has changed those flight paths, making them narrower and concentrated over specific areas of our community, causing a higher level of noise and pollution.Thus, it becomes more important that we rely on the carriers who service our community to do all in their power to be a “Good Neighbor,” to minimize noise from departures. Our relationship has been a healthy two-way street. Our Settlement Agreement allows in future years for a slow, but steady growth of passengers and planes, which will benefit the carriers. In return, we would like for you to do whatever is in your power to lessen the noise and pollution.
One way you as a carrier can be a good neighbor is using NADP-1 where possible and where safe, even when it is not required to meet the noise limits set at the noise monitors. Another way is by making sure you bring the quietest planes to JWA, planes like the Airbus 320neo or the Boeing 737-MAX as these include noise and emission reducing technologies.
According to news reports, several carriers that service JWA have bought the latest and quietest planes for their fleets. Naturally, we would like those here.
The FAA may soon release documentation for a new Required Navigational Performance (RNP) departure out of JWA to be called “STAYY.” The STAYY would be the second RNP departure in the country and makes two turns out of JWA. The advantage of STAYY for the community is that it helps planes avoid as many residential neighborhoods as possible during the first three miles after departure. I am asking you to consider adding the appropriate RNP departure training to your pilots’ training protocols as soon as practicable in order to use it at JWA.
Thank you for your consideration of my comments and requests.
Sincerely,
Name
