1. INTRODUCTION
Under its environmental responsibilities, Airservices Australia (AA) has established a Noise and
Flight Path Monitoring System (NFPMS) at Australia's major airports. An overview of the
NFPMS is shown in Appendix A. A map displaying all noise and flight path monitoring
locations in Australia is shown in Figure 1.
This report is a summary of data collected by the Brisbane segment of the system over the
second quarter (April to June) 2007.
Figure 1: Noise and flight path monitoring locations in Australia

2. NMT LOCATIONS AND NOISE DATA SUMMARIES
The Brisbane component of the NFPMS has five permanently installed Noise Monitoring
Terminals (NMTs) which are strategically located around Brisbane Airport as shown in Figure 2
and listed in Table 1. In addition to the permanent NMTs, there are portable NMTs which may
be connected to the system for measuring aircraft noise data at temporary locations, if requested
by the Airport Consultative Committee.

The A-weighted average noise exposure levels (LAeq) for the entire quarter and for the night
period (23:00 to 6:00 each day) at each NMT are contained in Table 1; the night values are in
brackets. These noise levels encompass the whole environment (including aircraft) as measured
at each NMT. Also included in Table 1 are the number of correlated noise events (CNE), and the
N70, N80 and N90 values for each NMT during the quarter. N70 is calculated by dividing the
total number of CNE equal to or greater than 70 dB(A) detected during the quarter by the
number of days in the quarter that the NMT is in operation (Op Days). For N80 and N90 the
CNE noise thresholds are 80 dB(A) and 90 dBA respectively.
Appendix B includes graphs showing the daily value of N70 at each NMT throughout the
quarter, and the distribution of N70 values. Negative N70 daily value indicates that the N70
value for that day is unavailable due to data incompleteness.

3. QUARTERLY TRACK DATA
3.1. Quarterly track density plots.
The quarterly track density plot is a map which displays the pattern of aircraft flight tracks
passing over the region around the airport during the quarter. The system analyses the number of
flights passing over each grid element of an array defined by the user. Grid elements of 200m x
200m have been adopted as a standard. The track density plot takes into account all aircraft and
provides a useful indication of the general patterns of the flight operations.
Figure 3 shows the quarterly track density plot for all aircraft operations for the second quarter
of 2007. The colour coding from green to red represents the range 182 to 1820 flight tracks (ie. 2
flights per day to 20 or more per day) over a grid element. If any grid element is not colour-
coded, the number of aircraft flight tracks passing over that element during the quarter was less
than 182, ie. less than 2 flights per day on average. The concentration near the top of the plot
reflects the operations of aircraft using Redcliffe Aerodrome and that at the bottom of the plot
includes aircraft using Archerfield Airport.
Figure 3: Track density plot for all aircraft operations during the second quarter 2007.
Figure 4: Track density plot for jet operations only during the second quarter 2007.
For comparison purposes, the quarterly track density plot for jet operations only for the quarter is
shown in Figure 4.
3.2. Jet track plots.
Plots of actual tracks for arrivals and departures of individual aircraft or particular types of
aircraft can also be obtained from the system. Figures 5 and 6 show the track plots for jet arrivals
and departures over the one-week period 2 to 8 June 2007. These tracks have been coloured
according to the aircraft altitude (ie. height above the mean sea level):
• Red when less than 1000ft

• Orange between 1000ft and 3000ft
• Yellow between 3000ft and 5000ft
• Green above 5000ft.
These altitudes have been chosen in accordance with the criteria in the document
“Environmental Principles and Procedures for Minimising the Impact of Aircraft Noise”
produced by Environment Services Branch, Airservices Australia.
3.3. Non-jet and helicopter track plots.
Non-jet operations are principally the operations of propeller and turbo-prop aircraft. The track
plots for the period 2 to 8 June 2007 for arriving and departing non-jet aircraft and helicopters
are shown in Figures 7 and 8 respectively. The same colour coding used for jet track plots is
used in these figures. For both arrivals and departures by non-jets, the tracks disperse from the
runway centrelines closer to the airport, to allow a clear path for jets, which are significantly
faster.
The red tracks along the river and over the sea (from the airport to distant islands) are due
mainly to light aircraft and helicopter operations, on defined “transit lanes” which are below
1000 ft for the majority of their flight.
4. AIRCRAFT MOVEMENT AND AIRCRAFT NOISE DATA
4.1. Movement statistics.
Movement statistics for Brisbane Airport expressed in monthly figures are shown in Table 2.
Explanations of the terms shown in Table 2 can be found in the Glossary section on Pages 6 and
7. The figures are based on TAAATS data.
Note that a training operation involving multiple circuits is counted by the system as a single
movement, which may be arrival or departure. This is the reason that numbers of arrivals may
differ from the corresponding numbers of departures. It is also the reason that movement
numbers obtained from TAAATS data may differ from other ATC-sourced data.

during the period 2/6/2007 to 8/6/2007.
Figure 6: Track plots coloured by height for jet departures

during the period 2/6/2007 to 8/6/2007.

Figure 8: Track plots coloured by height for non-jet and helicopter

departures during the period 2/6/2007 to 8/6/2007.
Table 2 also covers the runway usage for arrivals and departures individually and as a total for
each runway. Although their flight tracks may be available on NFPMS, TAAATS does not
always provide operational details for movements by helicopters and light propeller-driven
aircraft. This is the main reason that the Table includes figures for operations by miscellaneous
General Aviation aircraft, or aircraft with indeterminate runway (I).
The total number of monthly arrival and departure movements of all types (jets, non-jets and
helicopters) at Brisbane Airport for April was 13806, for May was 13999 and for June was
14067. The total number of movements for all aircraft types during the quarter was 41872.
Monthly and quarterly arrival and departure movement figures for the previous quarter are also
included in the table.
Table 3 shows the quarterly and monthly arrival and departure movement figures for the fourth
quarter of 2006 and first quarter of 2007.
4.2. Night movement statistics.
Movement statistics for aircraft operating during the night hours (23:00 to 6:00) for Brisbane
Airport are shown in Table 3. The total number of arrival and departure movements during night
in the second quarter of 2007 was 2816.
4.3. Daily runway usage per calendar month for arrivals and departures during the
quarter.
The daily runway usage per calendar month for arrivals and departures of all aircraft types
including jets, non-jets, helicopters and emergency aircraft during the quarter is shown in
Appendix C in which the movement figures of aircraft arrivals and departures are counted
separately and wholly per runway for each day of the calendar month for the quarter.
4.4. Hourly movements per calendar month for arrivals and departures during the
quarter.
The hourly movements per calendar month of the quarter for all aircraft movements operating in
and out of the airport including helicopters and emergency aircraft are shown in Appendix D.
The data in Appendix D are calculated for whole clock hours within the day.
4.5. Quarterly aircraft average noise levels.
Appendix E presents a summary of movement numbers and noise levels recorded over the
quarter for jet and non-jet aircraft types. It shows the actual movements and the correlated noise
events of aircraft types operating on specific runways together with the average maximum sound
pressure levels and standard deviations of the maxima for overflights by each type at each NMT.
The terms used in the data output are explained in the Glossary. The data is sorted in order of
descending maximum sound pressure levels for the 25 noisiest types/operations at each NMT (in
some cases, there were less than 25 types causing correlated noise events at the NMT).
4.6. Data included in Appendix E.
It may be noted in Appendix E that in some cases there is a difference between the reported
number of aircraft movements and the number of correlated noise events.
A noise event occurs when a noise being measured at an NMT stays above a preset level for a
preset time duration. When that condition occurs, the NFPMS looks at the radar input to see
whether there is an aircraft track within a preset radius around the NMT location. If there is, the
noise event is correlated with that aircraft track and registered as a correlated noise event.
Differences between the number of aircraft movements and the number of correlated noise
events may be due to the following:
(i) For aircraft operations which are not relatively close to the NMT location, the noise levels
received from the aircraft may be below the event threshold level. This results in less
correlated noise events than actual aircraft movements.
(ii) Noise events may not be correlated with aircraft tracks due to radar system downtime or
transponders on the aircraft being turned off. This also results in less correlated noise
events than actual aircraft movements.
(iii) In some cases, extraneous noise events caused by sources other than aircraft occur
concurrently with an aircraft operation, and are coincidentally correlated with an aircraft
track in the vicinity of the NMT. This may result in more correlated noise events than
actual aircraft movements.
For larger data samples, the absence or mistaken identity of some noise events will have minimal
effect on the mean data presented in the report. Data for small sample sizes may however not be
truly representative. Noting that aircraft noise certification procedures specify a minimum of six
overflights (under closely controlled conditions) to establish a mean noise level, the figure of six
has been adopted in this analysis as the minimum number of arrival or departure operations of
any one aircraft type for the data to be considered meaningful.

The NFPMS is the world's largest, most geographically-spread system of its type. The complete
system is operated and controlled from AA Head Office in Canberra.
Around each of the airports are a number of noise monitoring terminals (NMTs). The NMT
basically consists of a microphone, atop a mast of 6m height, and an electronics box. The noise
level to which the microphone is exposed over the range 30 to 140 dB(A) is continuously
measured and then transmitted, via a data line, to the NFPMS central computer where it is
processed and stored for later analysis. Apart from measuring the aircraft noise, the NMT also
continuously monitors the background noise levels.
Through the TAAATS system, the NFPMS acquires flight track and operational information on
aircraft operating in and out of the airport.
On a map display for each airport, the system displays the noise levels being measured by each
of the NMTs and the flight tracks of the aircraft in the vicinity of the airport.
When the level and duration of noise from any noise source in the vicinity of an NMT exceed the
threshold level and duration which have been set for the NMT, a "noise event" is recorded. The
time at which the noise event is recorded at the NMT location is then checked against movement
times and radar tracks of aircraft operating in the vicinity. If the time and NMT location of the
noise event match the movement time and radar track of an aircraft, the noise event is attributed
to that aircraft, i.e it becomes a “correlated noise event”. Otherwise, it is regarded as part of the
background noise.
The incoming data is stored in the central computer and can be recalled to display the tracks
flown by any user selection of aircraft operations, together with the noise levels which those
operations produced at the NMTs. The track information includes aircraft identity, altitude and
speed.
The system includes statistical and acoustical software to undertake analyses of noise or flight
track information as required by the user.
Automatically and regularly, the NFPMS produces reports that contain tabular and graphical
summaries of noise and aircraft movement data for each airport over selected time periods.
The system includes the capability to analyse aircraft tracks, by selecting and listing the tracks
which have passed through defined windows and corridors. The analysis can be selective, e.g. on
specification of aircraft type or the route being flown.
A.2. System applications.
The NFPMS collects noise and flight path data 24 hours a day, seven days per week. It also
accumulates flight plan and weather data.
The information collected is used by AA to:
. determine the contribution of aircraft to overall noise exposure;
. detect occurrences of excessive noise levels from aircraft operations;
. assess the effects of operational and administrative procedures for noise control and
compliance with these procedures;
. assist in planning of airspace usage;
. validate noise forecasts and forecasting techniques;
. assist relevant authorities in land-use planning for developments on areas in the

vicinity of an airport;
. provide reports to, and responses to questions from, Government and other Members
of Parliament, industry organisations, airport owners, community groups and
individuals; and
. assist in answering noise complaints about aircraft operations from the general public.
