SUBJECT: John Wayne Airport Departure Pattern Study
ISSUE:
Should the City Council authorize the .City Manager to contract with ASRC Research and
Technology Solutions (ARTS) to conduct a study of the factors relevant to commercial air carrier
arrival and departure patterns at John Wayne Airport (JWA)?
Authorize the City Manager to contract with ARTS to conduct a study of the factors relevant to
commercial air carrier arrival and departure patterns at JWA,. as recommended by the Citizens
Aviation Committee. The contract shall be for the attached Scope of Services and not to exceed
costs provided by ARTS, in a form approved by the City Attorney.
DISCUSSION:
Background: During the.past 27 years, the Citizens Aviation Committee (Committee) has
received a number of requests and suggestions regarding changes to the standard instrument
departure and arrival. procedures utilized at JWA. Most recently, three members of the
Committee conducted a very cursory "study" of departure and arrival patterns at other regional
airports and applied those procedures to JWA without regard to the factors relevant to the
development or modification of standard instrument departure procedures. In the past, the
Committee has been asked to evaluate the impact of modifications to, or strict compliance with,
the departure procedure but has lacked the information necessary to conduct a meaningful
evaluation. The mere discussion of these issues has, on occasion, created concern among
residents of communities that might conceivably be impacted by more aircraft noise if the
existing procedures were to be modified.
The Aviation Committee has recommended the City Council authorize ARTS to conduct a study
of the factors that influence commercial air carrier departure and approach. patterns. A copy of
the proposed ARTS scope of work and the budget (Exhibit A) is attached. ARTS has conducted
airspace, noise and aircraft procedure studies for numerous facilities including McCarran, Logan
and Oakland airports. The study will cost $88,456 and will be prepared in cooperation with the
County of Orange and the JWA Airport Director. The Project Team will seek input from
community groups involved in airport issues and input from other cities that are impacted by

SCOPE OF WORK FOR STUDY OF FACTORS RELEVANT TO THE DEPARTURE
1�1LWI l��Y7lID11J,1C��J \'f�l�l:�! 7Z�1;7tI
Introduction
The Newport Beach Citizens Aviation Committee (Committee) is charged with the responsibility
of evaluating current and proposed operations at John Wayne Airport (JWA) and making
recommendations to the City Council as to the impacts of current or proposed operations on
Newport Beach residents. The Committee has, in the past; received extensive information
regarding the noise generating characteristics of commercial air carrier operations and noise
abatement departure procedures but has not received or reviewed information relevant to the
factors that influence commercial air carrier departure or approach patterns. The Committee has
recommended the City Council authorize a study of the factors that influence commercial air
carrier departure or approach patterns (Study). The Study will be prepared by a "Project Team"
I onsisting of employees of and/or consultants to ASRC Research and Technology Solutions
(ARTS). The Study will be prepared in cooperation with the County of Orange and specifically
the JWA Airport Director. The Project Team will seek input from community groups involved
in airport issues and input from other cities or communities that are impacted by JWA
operations. The study will be presented to the Newport Beach City Council and will be made
available to all interested parties.
Purpose
The purpose of the Study is to provide the Committee with the information necessary to perform
its role as advisory to the City Council on airport operations and to enable the Committee, the
City Council, community groups involved in airport issues and Newport Beach residents to
evaluate existing approach and departure patterns and any future proposal or suggestion to
modify those patterns.
Scope
Task 1.0 — Analysis of Existing Conditions /Current Departure Procedures
Analysis of the existing conditions will be required to establish a baseline for the study. In order
to effectively accomplish the preparation of the study
1.1 Data Acquisition
The Project Team will meet with Airport Management, FAA Air Traffic Control, Flight
Standards, and Flight Procedures Personnel, Airline representatives and Community in
order obtain the necessary information to establish the current conditions at the airport.
Specifically the team will:
• Obtain information relative to the establishment of the current departure and
approach patterns and the factors relevant to the creation or maintenance of those
patterns including airspace utilization, air traffic control issues, runway length and
alignment and formal or informal FAA policies that relate generally to the
modification of commercial air carrier departure and/or approach patterns.
• Obtain existing information regarding the operation of air traffic at JWA
including the Air Traffic Control Tower order, field rules, and current noise
abatement rules and regulations.
• Obtain information including the Airport Layout Plan, GIS base mapping (land
use, zoning etc), radar flight tracks, aerial photo information, meteorological data,
noise abatement departure procedures and issues and other data relevant to
approach and/or departure patterns.
• Obtain information regarding the performance characteristics of commercial air
carrier aircraft fleet currently operating at JWA or that are likely to operate from
JWA in the near future.
• Seek input from community groups involved in airport issues regarding the Study
and the factors the Project Team should consider.
1.2 Coordination Meetings
Coordination meetings will be required to accomplish Task 1.1. The Project Team will
schedule one coordination meetings to meet with Airport Management, Airlines and Air
Traffic Control, and the FAA Regional office to meet with Flight Standards and
Procedures Development personnel.
Task 2.0 — Assessment of Approach and Departure Procedures
Upon the establishment of the existing conditions at the airport, the Team will conduct an
assessment of the relevant factors associated with the approach and departure procedures and
patterns, identify technology that may provide additional noise benefits, and identify potential
alternatives that could be implemented to reduce noise.
Task 2.1 Assessment of Relevant Factors
The Project Team will, based on the information and input received during Task 1.0,
explain how the factors relevant generally to commercial air carrier departure and
approach procedures apply to the current procedures at JWA. In this regard, the Project
Team will review, the current departure and approach procedures in terms of:
• Meteorological Conditions;
• Runway length and alignment;
• Regional and local airspace utilization considerations;
• Air traffic control issues;
City of Newport Beach SOW 2 7/3/2007
• Aircraft performance characteristics;
• Noise abatement procedures and considerations including the location of
remote noise monitoring stations.
• Geographical and topographical factors;
• Airport Environs Land Use Plan;
• Air carrier policies or practices;
• Formal or informal FAA policies regarding modifications to departure or
approach patterns.
2.2 Technology
The Project Team shall identify any advances in existing technology, new technology or
operational procedure (such as Controlled Descent Approach) that might be relevant to
the viability of current departure or approach patterns or support consideration of some
change to those patterns.
2.3 Identification of Potential Noise Abatement Alternatives
The Project Team will identify potential noise abatement measures that may be viable
based on the analysis prepared in the report and the application of technology.
Task 3.0 — Preparation and Presentation of Report
The Project Team will develop a Study that reflects the work performed in Tasks 1 and 2. The
Study shall include charts or other visual aids when helpful to understand technical information.
Five copies of the Study will be developed and submitted to the Committee.
The Study will also be presented at a special meeting of the Newport Beach Citizens Aviation
Committee that will be open to members of the public. The City of Newport Beach shall publish
notices of the meeting and send invitations to any group that has expressed an interest in airport
issues. The Study presentation will include a summary of the work performed and any findings
or recommendations of the Project Team. The presentation files will be made available to the
Committee after the presentation.
