The following list addresses the requirement of Proposed Town Code §75-
38 A.(4)(a) for the Airport Director to maintain on the Town website a
current list of “noisy aircraft” defined to be “any airplane or rotorcraft for
which there is a published Effective Perceived Noise in Decibels (EPNdB)
approach (AP) level of 91.0 or greater.” 1 The list is presented in terms of
International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) aircraft type codes and an
accompanying commonplace aircraft type description.

Proposed Town Code § 75-38 A. (4) states: “Noisy Aircraft” shall mean any airplane or rotorcraft type classified
as a Noisy Aircraft type pursuant to this Section.
(a) The Airport Director is directed to maintain on the Town website a current list of aircraft based upon the
noise characteristics published by the Federal Aviation Administration, or (if data is not available from that
agency), the European Aviation Safety Agency. Noisy Aircraft shall be defined as any airplane or rotorcraft
for which there is a published Effective Perceived Noise in Decibels (EPNdB) approach (AP) level of 91.0 or
greater
(b) In lieu of being subject to the definition of “Noisy Aircraft” pursuant to subsection (a) on the basis of the
Town’s list of types of Noisy Aircraft, the owner of an Individual Aircraft may elect to have the noise
classification of such Individual Aircraft determined by the sound levels on the basis of the EPNdB level that is
published in the airplane or rotorcraft flight manual for such Individual Aircraft pursuant to 14 C.F.R.
36.1581(a). To obtain a noise classification of an Individual Aircraft, the owner of such aircraft shall provide
the Airport Director with a true copy of the relevant pages from such manual showing the noise level data. In
the event of a conflict between the Town’s list of classifications of Noisy Aircraft types and classification
based on the data set forth in the Individual Aircraft airplane or rotorcraft flight manual, the data in the
Individual Aircraft airplane or rotorcraft flight manual shall prevail. Once the owner of an Individual Aircraft
has provided the Airport Director with such data from the Individual Aircraft airplane or rotorcraft flight
manual, and the Airport Director has determined the authenticity thereof, the Airport Director shall keep
such data on file so that the owner need not resubmit the data for each Use of the Airport, and compliance
by such Individual Aircraft with this Section shall be determined based on such data.
