Options Under Review 
- Updating the Noise Exposure Maps as necessary 
- Noise Monitoring System 
- Current system has 25 permanent monitors 
- Includes WebTrak for online view of flight/noise data 
- Preliminary Recommendations 
- Upgrade the current central system hardware/software 
- Replace existing monitors
- Consider relocating and/or adding new terminals 
- Develop new reporting techniques to support Fly Quiet 
- Cost to upgrade hardware/software and replace 25
monitors at their existing sites is approximately $1.5 to
$2 million.

Options Under Review 
- Fly Quiet Program 
- Identifying possible enhancements 
- Communicate Runway Use Plan to airlines/pilots 
- Create special reporting of runway use compliance
that includes reports from the ATCT on why
deviations occurred 
- Incorporate hush house usage into evaluation (if
approved) 
- Create special categories each year to focus
attention on issues (e.g., visual approach
compliance) 
- Include FAA ATCT in the evaluation process
