A Primer and Framework for Considering an Airport Noise and Operations Monitoring System (NOMS)
Airports use noise and operations monitoring systems (NOMS) to collect, manage, analyze, and communicate data such as flight tracks and procedures, aircraft identification, noise measurements, community complaints, and weather. These systems also can be used to respond to complaints and provide stakeholders with information about aircraft activity and noise, thus fostering trust and transparency. While NOMS can be beneficial, they require both financial and technical investment; moreover, airports may not have resources and industry knowledge to adequately evaluate the benefits and costs of these systems. Research is needed to help airports decide if a NOMS is appropriate for their situation, evaluate the benefits and costs of acquiring and updating such systems, and determine the general resources needed to acquire, operate, and maintain these systems. The objective of this research is to develop a primer and a decision-making framework to help airports and other stakeholders assess the benefits and costs of acquiring, maintaining, and updating an airport NOMS.
