Part 150 — Volume 1

This volume presents the Noise Compatibility Program (NCP) and related information that comprise the second volume of required documentation for a Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) Part 150 submission for Montgomery County Airpark (GAI’). The documentation has been developed under the provisions of FAR Part 150, Subpart B, Section 150.23, and Appendix B.

The discussion of noise compatibility measures in this volume builds on the Volume 1 Noise Exposure Map (NEM) documentation. Chapter 1 of the NEM provides an introduction to the objectives and requirements of FAR Part 150. That overall introduction is not repeated here.

This chapter summarizes the GAI project organization (Section 1.1), the development of the NCP (Section 1.2), the relationship of the NCP to the NEM (Section 1.3), NCP requirements and the locations in each of the two volumes where they have been addressed (Section 1.4), and the organization of the balance of this document (Section 1.5).

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.
