Airport Noise Management Report Year Quarter 2018

The Airport Noise Management Report provides the Year 2018 summary of St. Louis Lambert International Airport’s operations and noise complaints. The data in this report is from Harris, Inc. and not from FAA Air Traffic. This report is illustrative of trends and distribution and should not be construed as official traffic counts.

YEAR 2018

There were 45 noise complaints received in both 2018 and 2017. The 45 complaints were from 14 communi-ties. Residents complained about too many aircraft using Runway 29 and not using other runways to spread out the noise. Because of severe thunderstorms in May and June, ATCT turned aircraft sharply after depart-ing and residents complained about aircraft not following procedures. Complainants to the east of the Airport complained about aircraft disrupting and blocking TV signals in the morning. Another complainant had re-cently bought a house and wondered why there were so many aircraft now over his house. An anonymous resident complained about the helicopters that accompanied the President’s visit to St. Louis. Residents complained about military touch and goes and departures of squadrons waking children taking naps. Thirty nine complaints were about day time operations (7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.) and six complaints were about night-time operations (10 p.m. to 7 a.m.). Landings and take-offs (operations) during the day time hours ac-counted for 86.7% of the operations while 13.3% of the operations occurred during the night time period. Chart below shows number of complaints by zip code.

The DNL (Day-Night average sound level) metric describes the total noise exposure during a given period. In

computing DNL, an extra weighting of 10dB is assigned to any sound levels occurring between the hours of 10

pm to 7 am. The FAA has established 65 DNL as the threshold above which aircraft noise is considered to be

incompatible with residential use. The eight noise monitoring sites are recording levels lower than 65 DNL.

The chart below shows the total percentages of use for known runways for this period. The most utilized run-way for departures was Runway 30L (18.8%). The most utilized runway for arrivals was Runway 30R (21.5%). The crosswind runway 6-24 was the least used runway for this period. The Distribution of Traffic (Eastbound vs. Westbound ) for 2018 was 45.5% eastbound and 54.5% westbound operations.
