A RESOLUTION OF THE NEWPORT BEACH CITY COUNCIL
SUPPORTING THE EL TORO FLIGHT DEMONSTRATION
Whereas, most Orange County residents who have heard aircraft noise from EL Toro
MCAS have only experienced military jet noise; and
Whereas, a new commercial airport at El Toro will host the quietest Stage III aircraft
ever designed and which are three times quieter than military jets; and
Whereas, it is difficult for the layperson to understand the actual noise impacts of new
commercial jets by reading technical noise descriptions and that an actual flight
demonstration is an effective way to document the true noise impact that residents will
hear; and
Whereas, all Orange County residents, including those in north and central County, are
• concerned about the noise impact on any community that is near any Orange County
airport; and
Whereas, the County of Orange has proposed a flight demonstration to be conducted
in 1999, and
Whereas, the most recent demonstration proposal now includes components to
address key questions and concerns about El Toro flight operations, and
Whereas, the demonstration has a wide range of aircraft type, including the largest
747s as well as quieter, more technologically advanced jets; and
Whereas, the addition of noise monitoring equipment ensures that perceived noise
levels can be documented by actual scientific measurements; and
Whereas, the inclusion of night flights now provides an opportunity for residents to
experience the actual impact of aircraft flights during more sensitive times of the day.
•
• NOW THEREFORE, the City of Newport Beach does hereby resolve that it strongly
endorses the proposed flight demonstration for El Toro MCAS in order to inform and
educate the people of Orange County as to the anticipated noise impacts and the
proposed flight patterns.
