Noise Abatement

Attention RESIDENTS OF GREATER ORLANDO:

FAA NextGen/Metroplex

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) recently hosted four South-Central Florida Metroplex public workshops in the Greater Orlando area. The purpose of these public workshops was to share preliminary designs, and to gather input from residents on proposed improvements to air traffic procedures for Orlando International Airport and local general aviation airports. At the workshops these informational boards were discussed.

For more information, please visit the FAA Metroplex Community Involvement page at https://www.faa.gov/nextgen/nextgen_near_you/community_involvement/

If you have further questions, please contact Mr. Michael C. O’Harra, FAA Southern Regional Administrator, at (404) 305-5000.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Next Generation Air Transportation System, or NextGen, is the ongoing transformation of air traffic control technology and procedures, and the modernizing of airspace around airports throughout the nation including Central Florida.  The South-Central Florida Metroplex initiative will lead to more efficient aircraft operations and optimized approaches to MCO and other major Florida airports.  Additional information on NextGen is available on the FAA website at https://www.faa.gov/news/fact_sheets/news_story.cfm?newsId=23274.

Runway 18L-36R Closure

MCO Noise Advisory

Runway 18L-36R is currently closed for construction and is scheduled to return to service in early August 2020. Residents may experience increased noise due to changes with operational flow during the closure. Poor visibility conditions in the early morning hours may contribute to unusual departure tracks during the closure. We apologize for the inconvenience.

ORL Noise Advisory

ORL Runway Closure

Orlando Executive Airport (ORL) will be closing its primary runway, 7-25, throughout February and early March due to airfield construction under the Federal Aviation Administration’s Runway Incursion Mitigation (RIM) Program. This program aims to improve runway safety by constructing new pavement geometry near the runway.

The majority of the closures will occur during nighttime hours, 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM. However, runway 7-25, will need to be closed continuously on the following dates:

  • February 6, 10:00 PM through February 10, 7:00 AM
  • February 20, 10:00 PM through February 24, 7:00 AM

These temporary closures will shift air traffic to runway 13-31. Residents may notice changes to flight patterns and noise due to the construction activity. In addition, Orlando International Airport (MCO) will promote north flow operations during the Orlando Executive Airport construction timeframe to better separate air traffic using runway 13-31. Normal operations are scheduled to resume in early March 2020.

The Aviation Noise Abatement Committee is scheduled to meet on the second Friday of every month at Orlando International Airport, and members of the public are welcome to attend to ask questions or share concerns.

The next ANAC meeting will be held on Friday, February 14, 2020 at 9:30 AM in Conference Room Lightning in the GOAA Airfield Operations Building, 9076 Binnacle Way, Orlando, FL 32827

Agendas, minutes and noise reports of previous meetings may be viewed under Sunshine Meetings on our Airport Business page.

Please contact the Noise Abatement Officer via email or at 407-825-2674 if you have any questions, submit a comment via our Noise Complaint Form or sign up to receive Noise Alerts via email.

Noise Hotline: (407) 825-2003 and Toll Free: (866) OI-NOISE (646-6473)

The Noise Abatement Programs in place at MCO and ORL achieve noise exposure reductions through establishment of:

The GOAA noise abatement program brings together all stakeholders to reduce noise and educate the public regarding operations at its airports.  MCO has a number of voluntary noise abatement procedures that have been in effect since the late 1970’s and early 1980’s, including:

  • Preferential runway use favoring south flow operations
  • Assigned headings on departures to the north
  • Nighttime noise abatement headings
  • Designated engine run-up areas

Noise abatement measures at ORL define specific helicopter approach and departure paths to minimize flights over residential areas.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has sole authority and responsibility for routing and separating aircraft throughout the National Airspace System, and their first priority is always the safe and efficient separation and routing of aircraft. At any time, weather conditions, operational needs or day-to-day airfield maintenance may prevent the implementation of noise abatement procedures.

Information concerning aircraft activity and noise exposure at specific sites can be obtained by contacting 407-825-2674 or Noise Abatement Manager.

Operational Procedures

While safety is paramount to all air traffic operations, noise sensitivity to the surrounding communities is also of key importance.  The following information describes the voluntary noise abatement procedures and typical aircraft routings that are in place at MCO.

Preferential Runway Use (18L/R, 17L/R)

Preferential Runway Use

When conditions permit, the FAA will conduct south flow operations.  Aircraft will arrive from the north (red arrows) and depart to the south (green arrows).

Nighttime noise abatement routes are in place during north flow operations.  Between 11:00 PM and 7:00 AM, departing aircraft will be directed to the east on climb-out, away from long-established communities.

 

Aircraft Routing at MCO

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is solely responsible for the control of aircraft traffic (Air Traffic Control-ATC) inside the U.S. National Airspace System (NAS).  The Authority operates an Aircraft Noise and Operations Monitoring System (ANOMS) that provides noise and flight tracking information.

​

Federal Legislation

The FAA regulates the maximum noise level that an individual civil aircraft can emit through requiring aircraft to meet certain noise certification standards. Each noise certification standard is designated as a different Stage in the U.S. Any aircraft that is certified for airworthiness in the U.S. must also comply with noise standard requirements to receive a noise certification. The purpose of the noise certification process is to ensure that the latest available safe and airworthy noise reduction technology is incorporated into aircraft design and enables the noise reductions offered by those technologies to be reflected in reductions of noise experienced by communities. As noise reduction technology matures, the FAA works with the international community to determine if a new stringent noise standard is needed. If so, the international community embarks on a comprehensive analysis to determine what that new standard will be.

Compatible Land Use

GOAA has acquired property and implemented a sound insulation program in high noise exposure areas to improve the compatibility between off-airport land use and aircraft overflight activity. Local governments have enacted ordinances that require future development to be compatible with aircraft noise exposure. In addition, certain areas around MCO and ORL are subject to avigation easements (establishing the right of unobstructed flight in specified airspace), waiver of claim, and/or notice of aircraft activity. These represent forms of notification that overflights occur today or will occur in the future as a result of growth in aircraft activity and planned runway development. It should be noted that there are off-airport areas affected by aircraft operations that do not include a site specific notification.

Airport Noise Overlay District

The Aircraft Noise overlay district is intended to protect the health, safety and welfare of persons and property in the vicinity of Orlando’s two airports.  Click on the airport code to view the noise environments arising from flight operations at MCO and ORL. Information on airport noise impact areas is available at Orange County Land Development, and at Municode

 

The Aviation Noise Abatement Committee (ANAC) has 10 voting members representing both impacted and non-impacted communities as well as technical and Aviation Authority appointed members. The Committee also has non-voting members representing various government entities and a Noise Abatement Officer. Members and the Noise Abatement Officer may be contacted via the Noise Office at: 407-825-2674 or by e-mail to the: Noise Abatement Manager

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has the authority and is responsible for controlling aircraft noise by regulating source emissions. The FAA’s Air Traffic Control has the authority to implement noise abatement operational procedures which have been recommended by the airport proprietor and have been shown to be consistent with air safety and all legal requirements.

The Greater Orlando Aviation Authority (GOAA) is responsible for planning and implementing actions designed to reduce the effect of noise on residents of the surrounding area. Such actions include noise abatement procedures, land acquisition and other controls that do not discriminate, create an unsafe situation, impede the management of the air navigation system, or interfere with interstate or foreign commerce.

 

Casper Flight Tracker

Orlando Flight Tracker is a web-based tool that allows the public to follow, capture and review flight activity in the vicinity of their homes, schools and businesses in near-real time. Noise complaints may also be filed from this site.  Our goal is to provide you with useful information about flight operations taking place at Orlando International Airport (MCO) and Orlando Executive Airport (ORL). We invite you to learn, share and stay in touch.

To access Orlando Flight Tracker, please click on the map.

Organization

Orlando International Airport is managed by the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority, which is governed by a seven-member board; the mayor of the City of Orlando, the Mayor of Orange County, and five other members who are appointed by the Governor of the State of Florida, subject to confirmation of the senate.
