Block 2 : Preliminary Procedure Design Input Meeting for Logan Airport Community Noise Reduction R. John Hansman rjhans@mit.edu Technical support from MIT ICAT students, HMMH, and Massport

Noise Complaints at BOS: MIT ICAT One Dot per Address Each dot represents an address that registered at least one complaint during period Departures Arrivals Complaint Data: August 2015– July 2016 Track Data: ASDE-X from 12 days of operation, 2015-2016 2

MIT Technical Approach ICAT • Collect Data and Evaluate Baseline Conditions – Pre and Post RNAV – Community Input (Meetings and MCAC) • Identify Candidate Procedure Modifications • Block 1 – Clear noise benefit, no equity issues, limited operational/technical barriers • Block 2 – More complex due to potential operational/technical barriers or equity issues • Model Noise Impact – Standard and Supplemental Metrics • Evaluate Implementation Barriers – Aircraft Performance – Navigation and Flight Management (FMS) – Flight Crew Workload – Safety – Procedure Design – Air Traffic Control Workload • Recommend Procedural Modifications to Massport and FAA • Repeat for Block 2 3

MIT Block 1 Final Recommendations ICAT Proc. ID Procedure Primary Benefits D = Dep. A = Arr. 1-D1 Restrict target climb speed for Reduced airframe and total noise jet departures from Runways during climb below 10,000 ft (beyond 33L and 27 to 220 knots or immediate airport vicinity) minimum safe airspeed in clean configuration, whichever is higher. 1-D2 Modify RNAV SID from Runway Departure flight paths moved north 15R to move tracks further to away from Hull the north away from populated areas. 1-D3 Modify RNAV SID from Runway Departure flight paths moved north 22L and 22R to initiate turns away from Hull and South Boston sooner after takeoff and move tracks further to the north away from populated areas. 1-D3a Option A : Climb to intercept course (VI-CF) procedure 1-D3b Option B : Climb to altitude, then direct (VA-DF) procedure 1-D3c Option C : Heading-based procedure 1-A1 Implement an overwater RNAV Arrival flight paths moved overwater approach procedure with RNP instead of over the Hull peninsula and overlay to Runway 33L that points further south follows the ground track of the jetBlue RNAV Visual procedure as closely as possible. 1-A1a Option A : Published instrument approach procedure 1-A1b Option B : Public distribution of RNAV Visual procedure 4
