WebTrak FlyQuiet helps to reduce noise at your airport. It is the most efficient way to effectively manage flight track and noise compliance procedures; providing a fast feedback loop between the airport and aircraft operators.

WebTrak FlyQuiet is a web-based dashboard used to efficiently engage aircraft operators (airlines, pilots, fleet based operators, and transients) to deal in a positive way with deviations from your noise abatement procedures and guidelines. 

WebTrak FlyQuiet shows aircraft operators flight, noise and air traffic data regarding flights that have deviated from noise abatement procedures.  The data is presented in an accessible, clear, and graphical format that helps the operator to better understand the rules; why the rules are important, and how flight procedures can be modified to ensure a quieter environment for communities around the airport.

FlyQuiet enables airports to rapidly and economically engage with aircraft operators to minimise noise and track deviations, leading to a quieter airport and fewer complaints. The service provides:

• more efficient and effective use of Environment Management resources
• the ability to provide information quickly and easily to ALL aircraft operators active at the airport
• better relationships with the community.

There is no doubt that active management of noise abatement procedures results in substantial improvement in rules compliance and reductions in noise impact in the surrounding communities.  However, airports may not undertake an aggressive and systematic noise procedure management programme primarily because of cost and management time.  Communications between airports and aircraft operators about noise abatement procedures are often inefficient because of the time personnel spend finding procedure violations and communicating this information to operators.

WebTrak FlyQuiet solves these issues by automatically collecting data from the Lochard ANOMS noise monitoring system and presenting this data on a separate website for each specific aircraft operator.  The aircraft operator is presented with data including:

• A graphic description of the  noise abatement rule
• The flight track and its relation to the rule, including an animation of the track
• Air traffic recordings at the time of the violation of the rule
• Noise levels if the rule is a noise rule
• Summary data showing past violations in relation to other operators at the airport
• A means to communicate with the airport staff, including a log of past communications
  

Adding WebTrak FlyQuiet to a noise abatement program can result in:

• freeing up noise management staff  for other activities
• improved awareness through better quality information delivered faster
• better compliance with noise abatement procedures and
• ultimately a quieter airport.

As well as providing the data in a more useful and understandable format, WebTrak FlyQuiet can significantly reduce the amount of time required for the communication process.

WebTrak FlyQuiet is a valuable component of a complete airport noise management program.  Compilation of noise abatement procedure compliance data for all aircraft operators allows the airport to establish positive recognition reward programs for operators with the highest compliance record.  Positive public and community relations naturally follow from the implementation of a complete and pro-active noise abatement program where aircraft operators are encouraged to Fly Quietly.

In summary, WebTrak FlyQuiet:

• monitors compliance with noise abatement procedures
• communicates compliance issues in a timely manner to aircraft operators
• measures performance against other airlines
• encourages airport operators  to strive to achieve better compliance

Ultimately leading to a quieter airport!

Features

WebTrak FlyQuiet provides a website that streamlines the airport’s engagement with airport operators. It works directly with the ANOMS violations module to issue timely notifications via email to the aircraft operator with a link to the website to graphically show the offence.

Typical types of violations are:

• Noise Thresholds
• Departure procedures
• Continuous Descent on Approach
• Joining point
• Minimum climb rate
• Zone or gate crossings 
• Any other rules built into the system.
  

The system also enables:

• aircraft operators to view and investigate their own violating flights
• aircraft operators to reply to the airport with mitigating circumstances or actions taken
• aircraft operators to listen to ATC recordings and view weather conditions where available
• aircraft operators to view on demand their performance with respect to the airport’s noise abatement procedures
• aircraft operators to benchmark their performance against that achieved by other operators
• pilots to see the consequences of non-compliance (e.g. complaints, excess noise etc)
• regulators to review violation processing at the airport

How does this make life easier?

With existing noise management systems, reports explaining non-compliance are provided long after the event whereas with WebTrak FlyQuiet airlines and pilots are informed interactively as to how they perform and how this performance compares with other airlines.

This in turn:

• stimulates better behaviour of airlines and pilots; and
• forges a better understanding of compliance among all stakeholders;
• with minimum overhead from airport staff, freeing them up to focus on strategic activities.

WebTrak FlyQuiet encourages self-compliance through improved communication; making your life easier.
