CORRELATION TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN:
Staff's analysis and report of the quarterly JWA Noise Abatement Report falls under Goal
D of the Strategic Plan pertaining to strong community and regional relationships. The
City of Tustin strives to work collaboratively with agencies both within and outside Tustin
on issues of mutual interest and concern, and in this instance, on matters of airport traffic
and noise.
DISCUSSION:
Following the conclusion of each calendar quarter, JWA staff prepares a Noise
Abatement Program Quarterly Report and posts a copy of the report on their website.
Attached is the quarterly report for the second quarter of 2017, which includes the months
of April through June. An overview of the information contained within the JWA Noise
Report includes measured noise levels and an analysis of noise complaints.
Measured Noise Levels
Aircraft noise is most noticeable during airplane takeoffs and landings, primarily due to
engine noise. Although engines produce a significant amount of aircraft noise, many other
factors may influence the perception of noise including: proximity; weather — in bad
weather, engine noise is reflected off of the atmosphere making jets appear louder than
on clear days; routes — non-scheduled operations which could include military or private
aircraft and may be louder than commercial aircraft; emergencies; and, weight — a heavier
load may affect an aircraft's rate of ascent.
During the second quarter of 2017, the average CNEL at Tustin's monitoring station on
Beneta Way was 55.8 dB. This is .3 dB higher than the average of the previous quarter
(Q-1: January — March 2017). The average noise level for this quarter is very similar to
the average from the previous four quarters which is 56.3 dB. Figure 2 provides a
visualization of Tustin's CNEL levels for each month during the second quarter of 2017.

Noise Complaints
The Airport's Access and Noise Office receives and investigates noise calls and
complaints from local citizens and other sources. Throughout all of the Orange County
monitoring area, noise complaints decreased by 13% during the second quarter of 2017
in comparison to the first quarter of 2017. It should be noted that several of the complaints
during the second quarter were made from one (1) household in Irvine and one (1)
household in Costa Mesa.
During the second quarter of 2017, there were seven (7) Tustin area complaint calls,
which is six (6) more complaints than the previous quarter. Tustin staff has outreached to
JWA staff to gather further details on the nature of the complaints, and to understand how
JWA staff responds to each complainant. The breakdown of the seven (7) complaints is
as follows: three (3) complaints were regarding general aircraft noise, these calls were
either left via voicemail, or discussed over the phone, with no further follow-up requested
by the complainant; one (1) complaint was regarding the flight path, this item was
discussed over the phone, with no follow-up requested; one (1) complaint was regarding
the frequency of flights, this item was discussed over the phone, with no follow-up
requested; one (1) complaint was regarding the curfew of flights, this call was left via
voicemail with no follow-up requested; and, one (1) complaint was made regarding
helicopter noise, this call was left via voicemail, with no follow-up requested.
To provide an understanding of the trend in Tustin area complaints throughout the years,
a chart displaying the number of noise complaints for the past five (5) years is displayed
below (Figure 3). Generally, there is an increase in noise complaints during the second
and third quarters of the year, which further supports the theory that an increase in
complaints tends to occur during the warmer months of spring and summer, when
residents are likely to leave their windows open. Overall, the number of complaints has
not reached more than twelve (12) complaints in a single quarter during this five-year
reporting period.

Since noise issues are of considerable importance to the City of Tustin, the Community
Development Department will continue to monitor operations at JWA unless otherwise
directed by the City Council. The public are additionally welcome to participate in JWA's
Quarterly meetings held by the Access and Noise Office. The next quarterly meeting will
be held on December 13, 2017, at 2:00 p.m. in the Eddie Martin Administration Building

John Wayne Airport, Orange County
INTRODUCTION
This is the 178th Quarterly Report submitted by the County of Orange in accordance with the
requirements of the California Airport Noise Standards (California Administrative Code Title 21, Chapter
2.5, SubChapter 6: Division of Aeronautics Noise Standards). Effective January 1, 1986, the criteria for
defining "Noise Impact Area" was changed from 70 dB to 65 dB Community Noise Equivalent Level
(CNEL). Under this criteria, John Wayne Airport currently has a "Noise Impact Area."
NOISE IMPACT SUMMARY
Caltrans' Aeronautics Program has established guidelines in the California State Noise Standard to control
residential area noise levels produced by aircraft operations using the State's airports. Under those
guidelines, residential noise sensitive areas exposed to an average Community Noise Equivalent Level
(CNEL) of more than 65 dB define the "Noise Impact Area." John Wayne Airport uses ten permanent
remote noise monitoring stations (NMS) located in Newport Beach, Santa Ana, Tustin and Irvine to
measure noise levels, at the following locations:
MONITOR STATIONS
NMS -1S: Golf Course, 3100 Irvine Ave., Newport Beach NMS -6S: 1912 Santiago, Newport Beach
NMS -2S: 20162 S.W. Birch St., Newport Beach NMS -7S: 1131 Back Bay Drive, Newport Beach
NMS -3S: 2139 Anniversary Lane, Newport Beach NMS -8N: 17372 Eastman Street, Irvine
NMS -4S: 2338 Tustin Ave., Newport Beach NMS -9N: 1300 S. Grand Avenue, Santa Ana
NMS -5S: 324 % Vista Madera, Newport Beach NMS -10N: 17952 Beneta Way, Tustin
The,map in Figure 1 shows the general location of each permanent remote monitor station.
Figure 2 shows the Airport's "Noise Impact Area" for the previous year (July 1, 2016 - June 30, 2017).
The Figure 2 information was developed by Landrum and Brown, in consultation with John Wayne
Airport. CNEL values measured for the period and current digitized land use information were utilized to
calculate the land area acreages, number of residences and estimated number of people within the "Noise
Impact Area".

COMMUNITY NOISE EQUIVALENT LEVELS
The monthly, quarterly and twelve month Community Noise Equivalent Level (CNEL) average values for
each monitor station are shown in Table 2, while daily CNEL values are shown in Tables 3 through 5.
Insufficient data is indicated by "#N/A" entries in each table. Also, "*#N/A" entries in each table indicate
there were no aircraft related noise events.
Average Single Event Noise Exposure Level (SENEL) values for Air Carrier and General Aviation Jet
aircraft are shown in Tables 6 through 8.
ACOUSTICAL INSULATION PROGRAM
Four hundred eighteen residences in the Santa Ana Heights area have been sound attenuated and an avigation
easement reserved through the County's Acoustical Insulation Program, which closed in December 2009.
The County has also acquired 46 residences as part of the Purchase Assurance Program, many of which were
acoustically insulated, an avigation easement reserved and then resold. Among these County acquired
homes, those located within areas designated for Business Park uses were razed, avigation easements were
reserved, and the land resold for compatible Business Park uses. A total of 464 residences in the Santa Ana
Heights area have been purchased or otherwise made compatible through the County's Purchase Assurance
and Acoustical Insulation Programs. Seventy-seven dwelling units in Santa Ana Heights remain in the
"Noise Impacted Area" (within 65 dB CNEL contour).
TELEPHONE COMPLAINT CALLS (April 1, 2017 - June 30, 2017)
The Airport's Access and Noise Office receives and investigates noise calls and complaints from local
citizens and all other sources. During the April 1, 2017 through June 30, 2017, the Office received 401
complaints from local citizens. This is a 13.0% decrease from the 461 complaints received last quarter. It is
a 22.0% decrease from the 514 complaints received during the same quarter last year. Figure 3 shows the
distribution of the quarterly telephone calls and complaints from local communities.

QUARTERLY NOISE MEETING
Date: June 14, 2017
Time: 2:00 PM
Place: Airport Commission Room
ITEMS DISCUSSED
Jaci Hall of Laguna Niguel and member of Citizens for No Plane Noise discussed her
concerns about the noticeable increase in the past year of smaller type aircraft with some of
the aircraft as low as 300 feet. Ms. Hall also had concerns with commercial jet noise, which
she believed began in May 2016. Ms. Frisch stated that aircraft have always been allowed to
fly over that area and that our office has not seen any change. Ms. Frisch also explained
there is a threshold for general aviation aircraft of 1,000 ft. over the highest obstacle and
suggested that the FAA FSDO be contacted to report any low and unsafe aircraft at
(562)420-1755. Mr. Ilustrisimo explained the difference of VFR and IFR traffic in regard to
general aviation and in terms of FAA airspace restrictions. Mr. Ilustrisimo also added that
smaller aircraft do not fly a typical pattern. Later in the meeting, Ms. Hall asked about the
current status of the lawsuit between the County of Orange and FAA. Mr. Freed stated the
attorneys on both sides are working on the settling points of the lawsuit.
Joan Smith of Dana Point and member of Citizens for No Plane Noise discussed her concerns
with being bombarded with small planes and banner planes, which she believed are more
frequent and lower. Mr. Freed stated that depending on where you live and flight scheduling
some days are better than others in regard to the flight path.
Steve Bakke of Laguna Sur and member of Citizens for No Plane Noise discussed how he
hardly heard aircraft noise in the past, but now he hears it all the time especially the planes in
the middle of the night coming from Mexico. Mr. Bakke also described his experiences while
flying out of JWA as a passenger and his impression that recently the aircraft are not going as
far out over the ocean as they use to. Mr. Bakke asked why the aircraft don't gain more
altitude and head farther out to the ocean before they make their turn. Mr. Freed explained
several factors can impede aircraft from operating in this manner, such as the performance
characteristics of aircraft types and air traffic at higher altitudes going to LAX and LGB.
Later in the meeting, Mr. Bakke asked if expansion was occurring at the airport. Mr. Freed
clarified no plans are in place or currently being discussed for expansion. Mr. David Cook of
Newport Beach and member of the Newport Beach Aviation Committee did explain there are
operational limits at the airport that are defined in the Settlement Agreement, which runs
through 2030.
Lisa Hosinski of San Juan Capistrano and member of Citizens for No Plane Noise discussed
how before March 1, 2017 she didn't hear anything and now quality of life has been altered
because of the frequent low planes. Ms. Hosinski stated the new flights fly over many
schools, which should not be allowed at the new altitude; she is a realtor in the area and
believes the new flight path has effected home prices. Ms. Hosinski also said that the flights
used to go out to Catalina before they would make their turn, and suggested the aircraft
-15-
should be at 25,000 feet before they reach the land, or that altitudes prior to 2011 would be a
good starting point. Mr. Freed explained how airway layers limit altitude and how a change
to one could possibly effect other flight paths. Mr. Cook added the planes are now funneled
closer together which makes them more noticeable and suggests contacting the FAA
Metroplex person. Mr. Cook also added JWA cannot do anything; it's the FAA who has
jurisdiction.
Marlene Hellerman, a member of Citizens for No Plane Noise, asked why low-flying aircraft
complaint information JWA receives is not forwarded to the FAA FSDO. Ms. Frisch
explained it is FAA FSDO's jurisdiction to enforce altitudes, and that our office just doesn't
have the manpower to forward each and every complaint to FSDO. Ms. Hellerman discussed
how she works from home and the constant aircraft noise is incredibly disruptive. Ms.
Hellerman expressed her understanding that a San Diego community was able to get a flight
path changed and her belief that we should be able to do the same here. Ms. Hellerman
conveyed this is not a NIMBY thing nor should it be a "you against us" type of relationship.
Ms. Hellerman also stated that she felt JWA should be more of an advocate for the
community, and that JWA needs to maximize their relationship with the FAA to make
changes. Mr. Freed explained the best way to affect change is through a lawsuit, which the
County, Newport Beach and Laguna Beach have already filed against the FAA regarding
Metroplex.
Jo Carol Hunter, member of AirFair and SPON, asked if the FAA ever has meetings with the
public. Mr. Freed stated the FAA has been invited many times and doesn't attend. Ms.
Hunter added her belief that these meetings are not productive for you (JWA) and not
productive for the community.
