88 | AIRPORT PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT Role of Airports in NextGen Development, Implementation, and Community Outreach This chapter provides guidance on how airports can most effectively engage with community, FAA, and industry stakeholders on the development and implementation of various NextGen technologies and operational improvements at their airports.

Role of Airports in NextGen Development, Implementation, and Community Outreach | 89 Airports and their stakeholders may stand to realize direct benefits from these programs, such as increased capacity, reduced fuel burn and emissions, and the ability to defer capital expenditures on capacity enhancements. However, surrounding communities could also be adversely impacted by additional overflights and increased noise exposure often caused by the high degree of flight track concentration that the greater navigation precision of NextGen/PBN provides over traditional vectored procedures.

Role of Airports in NextGen Development, Implementation, and Community Outreach | 91 In addition to engaging communities that would be impacted, residents or communities who will benefit should be engaged. For example, there may be areas that will benefit from less noise, lower emissions, or reduced overflight activity.

92 | AIRPORT PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT The issues of aircraft noise exposure, and the linkage of noise exposure to changes in ATC procedures, are not new, but the flightpath flexibility and concentration afforded by NextGen/PBN procedures has raised new noise issues and concerns as outlined below: • Transforming the ground-based system to the satellite-based system has the potential to raise the issue of who is exposed -- and the level of their exposure -- at every location where NextGen/PBN procedures are being implemented. • It is highly likely that the operational or efficiency benefits accrue primarily to airlines and that the associated environmental benefits, such as reduced carbon emissions, will be heavily discounted by those that experience increased overflights and noise as a result of NextGen/PBN procedures.
