Ormond Beach airport runway extension controversy to be aired Tuesday (news-journalonline.com)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Voluntary\u00a0Noise\u00a0Abatement\u00a0Path\"
Voluntary Noise Abatement Path<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Here are some interesting statistics about the City of Ormond Beach Airport for February 2022.  Since living here almost 25 years, I have never seen anyone collect statistics like this about the airport and I doubt the City of Ormond Beach has the time, staff or interest to do it. This is an airport managed by the City of Ormond Beach Airport but only for ground operations and is over $600,000 in the red.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being retired, I am home most of the time and listen to airplanes that very frequently fly over or close to my home and my neighbors.  When it is convenient, I use my desktop or cell phone to open a webpage, www.flightradar24.com<\/a> to try to identify the aircraft nearby.  Most airplanes use the transponders,  ADSB, but not all do and I classify them as unknowns on my observations and totals. Some reset the transponders maybe for changing pilots or to avoid being identified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the month of February (only 14 days of 28 monitored) these are totals of aircraft not<\/u><\/strong> flying the voluntary noise abatement path requested by the City of Ormond Beach (data is hand counted and may be off by one or two numbers):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Total counts:302
<\/strong>
Phoenix East, Daytona Beach – 86
Embry Riddle University, Daytona Beach \u2013 56 (total of various aircraft)
Dolphin Leasing Daytona Beach \u2013 33
Christiansen Aviation Inc. \u2013 25
Beach Cruisers LLC, Ormond Beach \u2013 19
Daytona Leasing Daytona Beach \u2013 16
Lalla Russell Trustee, Atwater California \u2013 12
Lopez, Claudia Jr. Bogart, Georgia \u2013 12
Bravo Leasing \u2013 11
Unknowns with transponders off  \u2013 34
and the balance, others –<\/p>\n\n\n\n

http:\/\/echelberry.org\/Airport.2022\/February.2022.airport.complaint.start.date.Feb.1.to..Feb.28.2022..html<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This data shows the request to follow the takeoff path is not working and past efforts to ask the flight schools by the Ormond Beach Airport manager to follow it are not working. That is obvious with over half of the 302 complaints I just documented were by 3 or 4 schools.  My estimate is about 80% of the aircraft using the airport east departure do not follow the voluntary noise abatement path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I contribute the failure to follow the VOLUNTARY noise abatement path to these categories:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flights schools are not monitoring the flights of their aircraft, yet I can from my home computer or phone.  Maybe not enough emphasis is put on these schools of their inability to follow the path. Instructive material on the City of O.B. Aviation section of the web site has the information. What would be convenient is, if a flight school had a phone number we could call to notify them of aircraft from their school not following the path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instructors and their students may have no interest in being a good neighbor for the residents that the path would steer them around.  True, maybe weather conditions might be a slight reason to avoid it but how can they not take off, make the turn and fly over the Tomoka River\/Tomoka State Park swamp area.  Once leaving the airport aircraft have almost a mile wide area of swamp\/non-residential area to fly over (see map below with my added note of \u00be mile space and arrows showing the no residential area)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One pilot commented on one of my posts on the internet that there is a lot going through a pilot\u2019s mind while taking off and landing.  If they can\u2019t figure out how to fly over almost a mile wide space how competent are they to find there way back to the airport and land on a runway.  My data shows approximately 302 flights in one month could not depart the airport without turning over the residential area of Tomoka Estates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the solution to decrease the noise?  Easy, pilots could follow the voluntary path but that is not happening.  Maybe put a large weather balloon up at the tip of Tomoka Estates at about 600 feet high that pilots could spot and go to the right of it.  My next alternative will be to contact the FAA with my documentation (who I am including as a cc in this email) , including past activity reports, to request noise monitoring systems be installed. I don\u2019t know who would pay for this but if the FAA contacts the City of Ormond Beach about this, I don\u2019t want it to be a surprise if someone says they had no knowledge of this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the Ormond Beach Noise Abatement Committee meetings, I had the opportunity to be in the control tower and observed the radar screens used there. I talked with a control tower employee and he said they do not have any idea what neighborhoods the aircraft are flying over.  Their screens basically showed land and water and planes in the air. That would make any aircraft the pilots responsibility to know they are over residential areas.  Again, look at the non-residential area below that is available to fly over. The available open space to the east is almost as wide as half of the airport property. If they have to look out their window to make an approach to land on the runway why can\u2019t they look out the window as they are taking off ?  And if they have an instructor in the aircraft, why can\u2019t he help guide the plan on the noise abatement path. 
Embry Riddle University has in their Flight Manual I once read that they have a responsibility or rule to follow noise abatement paths.  Not working, Embry Riddle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From all indications, March will be a much smaller report because the heavens were good for residents but not so good for flight schools to make money.  It has been so far a windy and rainy month. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
