Airport Noise Management Report 1st Quarter 2018

The Airport Noise Management Report provides the 2nd Quarter 2018 summary of St. Louis Lambert International Airport’s operations and noise complaints. The data in this report is from Harris, Inc. and not from FAA Air Traffic. This report is illustrative of trends and distribution and should not be construed as official traffic counts.

2ND QUARTER YEAR 2018

There were 14 noise complaints received in the 2nd Quarter 2018 as compared to the 7 noise complaints in the 2nd Quarter of 2017. The 14 complaints were from six communities. Two complainants stated that arri-val aircraft were low and disrupting TV signals. Another complainant had recently bought a house and won-dered why there were so many aircraft now over his house. Thunderstorms caused ATCT to turn aircraft af-ter immediately departing and there were complaints from residents living near the Airport that procedures were not being followed.

All fourteen complaints were about day time operations ( 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.). Landings and take-offs (operations) during the day time hours accounted for 86.7% of the operations while 13.3% of the operations occurred during the night time period. Chart below shows number of complaints by zip code.
