Naples Airport Authority (NAA) initiated a Part 150 Study in February 2020 to enhance
land use compatibility and to mitigate noise impacts to the extent possible
Naples Airport (APF) Overview
• Aircraft departure flight corridors are more dispersed shortly after take-off from runway ends
• Aircraft arrival flight corridors are more concentrated as aircraft are aligned on final approach further away from runway ends
• Jet operations are the primary drivers of noise exposure based on FAA-approved modeling programs

Part 150 Overview
Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 150 (Part 150) provides a formal process that airport operators can voluntarily undertake to
address compatibility of aircraft operations with surrounding communities
Noise Exposure Maps (NEMs) – Phase 1 Noise Compatibility Program (NCP) – Phase 2

exposure conditions at Naples Airport measures to reduce noise exposure

NAA is leveraging the Part 150 Study process to explore opportunities to both improve
compatibility and reduce annoyance outside of the Noise Exposure Map contours
Regulation of Airport Noise
Regulatory Framework Role
Federal law sets aircraft noise standards, • Control aircraft while in flight
Federal Aviation operating rules, the compatibility planning • Control noise at its source (i.e., aircraft
Administration process, and limits an airport’s ability to engines)
restrict aircraft operations • Certify aircraft and pilots
State law sets forth zoning compatibility • Promote compatible land use through
planning guidelines zoning
State and Local
• Require real estate disclosure
Governments Local noise ordinances set noise standards,
but aircraft are exempt • Mandate sound-insulating building
materials
• Manage facilities and infrastructure
• Implement capital improvement projects
Airport Proprietors/
No regulatory authority • Identify and promote voluntary noise
NAA abatement measures
Day Night Average Sound Level (DNL) Overview
• FAA requires the use of Day Night Average Sound Level (DNL) for airport noise assessments performed under Part 150
• DNL represents the weighted average noise level over a 24-hour period
• Reflects increased noise sensitivity at night by making one flight at night equivalent to 10 flights during the day
• FAA considers annual average day DNL 65 dB as the noise exposure level above which is considered noncompatible for
noise sensitive land uses
• Seasonal variations in noise exposure are often not well represented in the average conditions reflected in noise contours
The City of Naples and Collier County has adopted DNL 60 dB for
land use planning purposes
Supplemental Analysis – Seasonal Contours
Supplemental contours were developed at the request of stakeholders to better understand
these operational conditions
Supplemental DNL 60 Contours for 2021
Naples Airport experiences large
fluctuations in aircraft activity that

For informational purposes onlyNoise Compatibility Program (NCP) Overview
Measures are explored and evaluated that have the potential to improve
the compatibility of the airport with the surrounding community
Examples
• Noise abatement flight tracks
• Run-up enclosures • Preferential runway use NCP measures must consider:
Noise Abatement • Use restrictions • Arrival/departure procedures
Measures • Reduction of existing noncompatible land use and prevention
or reduction of future noncompatible land use
• Safety and efficiency
Examples • Consistency with the powers and duties of FAA
• Land use controls • Real estate disclosure • Avoidance of unjust discrimination against certain aircraft
• Zoning • Land acquisition types
Land Use • Building codes • Sound insulation
• Measures cannot impose an undue burden on interstate
Measures • Comprehensive plans • Aviation easements
commerce
• The ability to meet both local needs and national air
transportation system needs
Examples
• Implementation tools • Reporting
Administrative/ • Promotion, education, • Other stakeholder
Programmatic signage, etc. recommendations
Measures • Monitoring
FAA will not approve NCP measures that do not reduce exposure to noise of
DNL 60 and higherNoise Abatement Measures Suggested for
Evaluation in the NCP

and departures • Set standard glide slopes to 4 degrees for incoming aircraft to
• Consider approach to Runway 23 from south over Gordon River Runway 23
instead of Old Naples • Direct departures on 23 to go down Naples Bay
• Modify Runway 5-23 as the preferred runway for operators • Delay Runway 23 departure turn to 270 heading until 1,000 feet
• Maximize use of compatible areas and corridors – alternate departure • Alternate the calm wind runway
headings • Incorporate nighttime curfew in master plan

• Implement slot reservation system • Require 060 turn at lift off on Runway 5 and maintain heading until I-75
• Conduct a departure noise analysis study • Require flight schools to move to other Collier airports
