Part 150 — Volume 1

This volume presents the Noise Exposure Map and related information that comprise the first volume of required documentation for an FAR Part 150 submission for the Montgomery County Airpark (GAI)1. The documentation has been developed under the provisions of Federal Aviation Regulations, Part 150; it addresses the specific requirements of Part 150, Subpart в, Section 150.21, as well as Appendix A of the regulation. The work reported here provides the foundation for the Airport Noise Compatibility Program, which is presented separately in Volume 2. Appendix A of this report presents a copy of the Part 150 regulation.

This chapter provides an introduction to the objectives and requirements of FAR Part 150 (Section 1.1), describes the GAI project organization (1.2), summarizes the development of this volume (1.3), outlines the balance of the report (1.4), and presents an executive summary.

Fly Friendly Practices

Pilots are strongly encouraged to go beyond the regulatory minimum. These three practices make the biggest difference for neighboring residents.

Prompt Climb After Takeoff

Reaching pattern altitude quickly shortens the period of high-power engine noise over nearby homes.

Fly the Published Pattern

Correct altitudes, turn points, and headings keep traffic away from the densest residential areas.

Limit Repeated Overflights

Route touch-and-go sequences away from schools and neighborhoods whenever conditions allow.
