1 LIST OF DEFINITIONS AND ACRYONMS

1.1 DEFINITIONS

Aircraft Operations

Also referred to as ‘Operational Noise’ (refer Section 6.1)

a) the landing and take-off of aircraft; and b) aircraft flying along any flight path associated with a

landing or take-off.

For the purposes of Rule 6.1.6 Activity specific noise rules, it excludes:

a) aircraft operating in an emergency for medical or

national/civil defence reasons; b) air shows; c) military operations; d) Antarctic operations;

e) helicopter operations; f) aircraft using the airport as an alternative to a scheduled

airport elsewhere; g) aircraft taxiing; and h) aircraft engine testing.

ANB A composite line formed by the outer extremity of the 65 dB Ldn noise contour and the 95 dB LAE noise contour. The Air Noise Boundary defines an area in which the future daily aircraft noise exposure from aircraft operations is sufficiently high as to require land use planning controls

Decibel (dB) The unit of sound level. Expressed as a logarithmic ratio of sound

pressure relative to a reference pressure

LAE The Sound Exposure Level. The sound level of one second duration which has the same amount of energy as the actual noise event measured. Usually used to measure the sound energy of a particular event, such as an aircraft flyover

LAeq The equivalent continuous (time-averaged) A-weighted sound level. This is commonly referred to as the average noise level.

Ldn The day night noise level which is calculated from the 24-hour LAeq with a 10dB penalty applied to the night-time (2200-0700 hours) LAeq

LAFmax The A-weighted maximum noise level. The highest noise level which occurs during the measurement period.

Noise Calculations

Noise levels calculated using computer modelling software, typically to predict current and future noise levels. Noise

measurements are used to verify accuracy of calculated noise levels.

Noise Measurements

In-situ noise measurements of actual noise levels using either semi-permanent noise monitoring terminals or hand-held

equipment (sound level meters).

Noise Monitoring

Monitoring of noise levels (generally with respect to assessing compliance with the District Plan), using both noise measurements and calculated noise levels.

Airport Noise Management Plan Introduction


2 INTRODUCTION

Aircraft noise is often the most significant source of contention between communities

and airports worldwide. Long term exposure to high levels of noise from airport

operations can cause both adverse health effects and disruption to residents and other

noise sensitive activities. Effective management of noise resulting in reduced noise

exposure enables airports across the world to continue to operate and grow.

Christchurch Airport (CIAL) must manage noise to reduce adverse effects on the local

community, and in turn protect airport operations from reverse sensitivity effects.

Christchurch Airport is located close to Christchurch City and operates 24 hrs per day.

Consequently, the airport offers significant benefits to businesses and people in the

region, including fast and efficient overnight delivery of mail and freight, lower airline

fares and frequent trans-Tasman services. However, noise from airport operations,

particularly at night, can adversely affect residents and other noise sensitive activities

where these are close to the airport.

The extent to which the community is affected by noise is determined by a wide range

of factors, including the number of aircraft movements, timing of airport operations,

aircraft type, air space management, the proximity of noise sensitive activities, and

weather conditions. Aircraft take offs and landings and on-aircraft engine testing are

the most significant noise sources at Christchurch Airport. Noise can also occur as a

result of other activities including use of Aircraft Auxiliary Power Units, Ground Power

Units and other ground support activities such as baggage unloading and re-positioning

of aircraft, airfield maintenance and site development activities.

In accordance with the District Plan requirements, this management plan has been

prepared by suitably qualified and experienced persons, and in consultation with the

Airport Noise Liaison Committee.

Airport Noise Management Plan Statutory Requirements


3 STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS

The Christchurch District Plan contains rules relating to the control of noise emissions

from Christchurch Airport. The approach adopted is to set noise limits which the airport

cannot exceed. These limits have been determined through assessing the noise effects

and with reference to relevant standards and guidelines. Methods of reporting on this

are also stipulated.

For operational noise, the noise limits have been determined with reference to NZS

6805; the New Zealand airport noise standard.

For on-aircraft engine testing noise, the noise limits have been set through a specific

noise assessment addressing the most appropriate methods to control on-aircraft

engine testing noise, referencing on-aircraft engine testing noise control rules around

New Zealand.

Rule 6.1.6.2.7.1 in the Christchurch District Plan and associated Appendix 6.11.14 (see

appendix 1) requires aircraft operations and on-aircraft engine testing at Christchurch

Airport to be managed in accordance with an Airport Noise Management Plan.

In addition to the District Plan requirements, there is also a general duty placed on the

airport by section 16 of the Resource Management Act to avoid unreasonable noise.

The Noise Management Plan (NMP) must be reviewed, and updated if required, at least

once every two years.

The plan must contain the following information:

• Outline the methods used to demonstrate how aircraft operations and on-

aircraft engine testing at the airport will comply with the District Plan noise

limits;

• Consider alternative methods of noise management and mitigation to reduce

noise effects from aircraft operations and on-aircraft engine testing;

• Engine maintenance ground run procedures for on-aircraft engine testing, to be

implemented in conjunction with all aircraft operators and their agents;

• Details of a noise monitoring programme for the noise monitoring and reporting

required by the District Plan;

• A complaints procedure for responding transparently and expediently to any

complaints about noise from aircraft operations or on-aircraft engine testing;

• A disputes resolution procedure;

• A procedure for presenting the following reports transparently and expediently

in a publicly accessible forum:

- The Airport Noise Management Plan

- Annual Aircraft Operations Noise Monitoring Report,

- Annual On-Aircraft Engine Testing Noise Monitoring Report

- Quarterly On-Aircraft Engine Testing Report

Airport Noise Management Plan Statutory Requirements


- Seven day rolling report of noise from on-aircraft engine testing

against the District Plan noise limits at 8 specific monitoring positions

- Daily LAFmax report of noise from on-aircraft engine testing noise at the

edge of the residential zone

- A summary of complaints received annually and a description of

actions taken to address complaints.

• Schedules of the acoustic treatment implemented over the previous calendar

year, acoustic treatment offered where conditions of the offer required by

section b of appendix 6.11.15 have not been met.

Airport Noise Management Plan Noise Limits


4 NOISE LIMITS

This NMP demonstrates how aircraft operations and on-aircraft engine testing are

managed to ensure that the airport complies with the District Plan noise limits. Those

noise limits are described in this section.

4.1 NOISE LIMITS FOR AIRCRAFT OPERATIONS

The noise limits for aircraft operations are detailed in Rule 6.1.6.2.5 of the District Plan

(refer to appendix 2 of this plan). The rule states that noise from aircraft operations

shall not exceed 65 dB Ldn outside of the 65 dB Ldn noise contour shown in Figure 1

below:

Figure 1: District Plan 65 dB Ldn air noise compliance contour

Some exceptions to this rule are permitted. Noise may exceed the limit by up to 2dB if

the exceedance is due to atypical weather, national flight disruption, natural disaster or

other unplanned circumstances. Noise exceedances resulting from the circumstances

listed above are reported in the annual noise monitoring report.

4.2 RULES AND NOISE LIMITS FOR ON-AIRCRAFT ENGINE

TESTING

The rules and maximum noise limits for on-aircraft engine testing are detailed in rule

6.1.6.2.6 of the District Plan (refer to appendix 3 of this plan). The rule states that on-

aircraft engine tests must comply with the following standards:

Noise from on-aircraft engine testing shall not exceed the limits shown in Table 1 below

when measured at the specified on-aircraft engine testing compliance monitoring

positions shown on the contour maps in Figure 2 below.

75 dB LAmax 2200 to 0700 only Edge of residential zone – 3 points

Figure 2: District Plan on-aircraft engine testing noise contours and monitoring positions

In addition,

• Within any three-month period, a maximum of five unplanned high-power jet

engines tests may be carried out between the hours of 2200h and 0700h. There

shall be no more than 12 unplanned high-power tests per year carried out

between 2200 and 0700h hours.

• All other high-power jet engine tests must be carried out between 0700h and

2200h.

• Any on-aircraft engine tests for turbo prop engine aircraft between the hours of

22:00 and 07:00h, with a total duration of testing at high power for 5 minutes

or more per aircraft shall be conducted near the threshold of Runway 11. This

is the northwest end of the crosswind runway.

4.2.1 EXCEPTIONS

The on-aircraft engine testing rules do not apply to the following activities:

• Engine testing for aircraft used for Antarctic operations;



• Engine testing necessary to satisfy an airworthiness directive or other safety

requirement issued by the Minister of Transport, the Director of Civil Aviation or

the Civil Aviation Authority;

• Any other unplanned testing arising from an aircraft operator identifying a

safety issue relating to an aircraft fleet, or required because of a natural disaster

including volcanic eruption;

• Turbo prop engine testing is exempt from the requirement to use the threshold

of Runway 11 between the hours of 22:00 and 07:00h, during times that

Runway 11/29 is in use.

Airport Noise Management Plan Noise Management


5 NOISE MANAGEMENT

Christchurch Airport implements a range of measures to ensure that operational noise

from aircraft and noise from on-aircraft engine testing complies with the District Plan

noise limits. This section details how airport operations are managed to ensure that on-

aircraft engine testing and aircraft operations comply with the maximum permitted

noise limits described in Section 4.

5.1 MANAGEMENT OF AIRCRAFT OPERATIONS AND ON-

AIRCRAFT ENGINE TESTING

The Airport Company provides and maintains airport infrastructure such as runways,

terminals, airport parking and other infrastructure to facilitate an operational airport. It

does not directly manage aircraft movements or conduct on-aircraft engine testing,

including on-aircraft engine testing. Christchurch Airport is responsible for ensuring all

operators conduct airport operations and on-aircraft engine testing in a manner that

does not breach noise limits specified in the District Plan.

Airways New Zealand is responsible for managing air navigation and air traffic

management across New Zealand, including managing the take-off, landing and taxiing

of aircraft at Christchurch International Airport. Airways follow Civil Aviation Authority

(CAA) standards and communication procedures, as legally required, when controlling

air traffic movement.

on-aircraft engine tests are carried out by airline operators or repair companies who

operate on the airport campus. These airline operators or repair companies manage on-

aircraft engine testing, including where, when and how these are conducted.

To achieve compliance of operational aircraft noise, the airport company influences

aircraft noise through the approval of departure and arrival tracks and the use of noise

abatement departure procedures. This can be achieved through working with Airways

and the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) to implement ‘good neighbour behaviour’. Good

neighbour practices are generally considered to be actions that accommodate

community concerns and interests.

To manage noise generated from on-aircraft engine testing, Christchurch Airport uses

two primary tools; these are the Engine Testing Management Software (ETMS) and the

Ground Running Procedures Policy document.

5.1.1 OPERATIONAL NOISE

The Airport Company manages operational noise using several methods. The approach

is firstly to understand and quantify how noise is generated from airport operations,

thus enabling the airport, its operators and stakeholders to make informed decisions as

to how airport operations are to be managed. The primary goal is to ensure the airport

complies with the 65 dB Ldn noise contour.

The airport uses noise monitoring to understand and quantify airport operational noise

levels. Noise monitoring includes computer noise modelling and field noise

measurements.



Each year computer noise modelling is used to generate Annual Aircraft Noise Contours

(AANCs). These predictions are then verified with field noise measurements to ensure

their accuracy.

This approach is used as it is impractical (and cost-prohibitive) to measure noise levels

at every relevant location. However, the general proviso to this is that these

calculations need to be checked for their accuracy, which is done by using targeted

noise measurements at several key locations.

The noise monitoring can then be used as a tool itself, in that the results inform

discussions held between the Airport and various stakeholders regarding noise

management.

One such example would be that the Airport works with Airways encouraging airline

operators to implement “good neighbour behaviour.” This includes making changes to

minimal operational heights around densely populated areas, altering take-off and

landing procedures and the taxiing of aircraft. These changes are influenced by the

extent of current noise emissions, as shown in the yearly AANC.

In addition to encouraging airlines to manage operations in such a way to reduce noise

certain types of aircraft are banned from Christchurch airport, these include chapter 2

aircraft (as defined by ICAO Annex 16)

Christchurch Airport has worked with the Canterbury Aero Club to implement good

neighbour behaviour with regards to night flight training. Night flying is an essential

part of the NZ CAA’s requirements for professional pilot licences, and the Canterbury

Aero Club offers the opportunity to carry out this training as part of their pilot training

programme. Night flying involves flying at relatively low altitude over both rural and

urban areas. In response to community concerns about light aircraft noise around

Christchurch City, Christchurch Airport worked with the Canterbury Aero club to improve

practices and restrict late night flying to no later than 22:00 in winter and 23:00 in

summer to reduce noise experienced by residences. This has resulted in a significant

reduction in the number of noise complaints received by Christchurch Airport associated

with light aircraft manoeuvres.

Christchurch Airport recognises that there is increased sensitivity to aircraft noise at

night. Night-time aircraft noise events and associated impacts are managed through

the use of the Ldn noise metric which includes the imposition of a 10 decibel penalty for

night time noise. Christchurch Airport also considers noise impacts when scheduling

additional aircraft movements at night.

The airport also uses noise monitoring to establish how changes in operations may

impact noise levels generated from operations.

Noise monitoring compliments work the airport does in the management of noise when

changes to airport operational characteristics occur or are planned. When such a

change occurs, or is scheduled to occur, an assessment is carried out to see what such

an operational change would have on the airports compliance, and to see if there is

anything further that can be done to reduce any resultant noise impacts.



Recent examples are given below:

RNP Trial

In 2016 a new set of arrival procedures were being developed by Airways NZ, known

as RNP. The proposal included undertaking a trial of the arrival procedures to

investigate their effectiveness. One potential adverse effect was noise. To manage

this, the airport completed noise modelling prior to the RNP trial commencing and noise

measurements before and during the trial to establish how changes in aircraft

movements would impact noise levels. The airport assessed if there was potential for a

breach of the 65 dB Ldn compliance contour to occur. If any potential breach was

identified the airport and its operators would investigate what operational changes are

required to avoid the breach.

Runway Overlay (Project Takatu)

A noise assessment was completed by the airport prior to the commencement of the

runway overlay project The runway overlay project resulted with increased use of the

cross-wind runway, particularly at night. The airport completed a noise assessment to

establish if increased use of the cross-wind runway would breach the compliance noise

contours. The noise assessment identified that a cap on the number of movements on

the cross-wind runway was required to manage compliance within the noise contours.

Garden City Helicopter Relocation

Garden City Helicopters relocated from the corner of Memorial Avenue and Ron Guthrey

Road to a new facility on Grays Road in late 2017. For the purposes of the District Plan

helicopter operations are not considered Aircraft Operations, as such noise associated

with helicopter movement is not technically included in compliance calculations.

However, the Airport wanted to understand noise impacts associated with the relocation

and a noise assessment was carried out to establish if relocation of Garden City

Helicopters would materially impact the compliance contour.

In summary, the noise effects were assessed to be reasonable, based on the existing

noise environment, the current noise exposure that is occurring in the area, and the

proposed number of helicopter flights that would occur. The assessment also concluded

that noise levels would be below noise levels recommended in the helicopter noise

standard on this basis no further action was deemed necessary.

5.1.2 ON-AIRCRAFT ENGINE TESTING

On-aircraft engine testing is defined in the Christchurch District Plan as the testing of

engines on-aircraft. On-aircraft engine testing is generally required as part of pre-flight

testing following engine repairs and maintenance and occurs outdoors. As a result, on-

aircraft engine testing is more likely to affect residents as it must occur outdoors.

Off-wing testing involves detaching engines from aircraft and testing occurs inside a

dedicated test cell in a purpose built in door facility. It is generally required after major

maintenance and repairs.

The District Plan requires that Christchurch Airport manages on-aircraft engine testing

operators to ensure compliance with testing restrictions and noise limits at the locations

referred to in section 3.2. To manage on-aircraft engine testing, Christchurch Airport

uses two primary tools:



• Engine testing management software (ETMS);

• Ground running Procedures Policy document;

5.1.3 ENGINE TESTING MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE

Engine Testing Management Software (ETMS) is a web based application developed by

Marshall Day Acoustics as the primary tool to manage on-aircraft engine testing noise.

The ETMS predicts on-aircraft engine testing noise calculating whether a scheduled test

complies with on-aircraft engine testing noise limits. Details of the ETMS are provided

in Appendix 3.

Software predictions are based on noise data from engine tests for different aircraft at

different power levels. The software predictions are verified against noise measurement

data collected from noise monitoring terminals (NMT) placed around the periphery of

the airport. Noise monitors were installed during the first six months of the development

of the ETMS and will be redeployed biannually for reverification.

Prior to conducting an engine test the operator enters test details into the ETMS. The

system then indicates if the test can occur, based on whether the proposed test would

exceed the allowable noise ‘budget’. If the test is approved, a portion of the total noise

budget is then reserved for the operator until the test is completed. Once the engine

test is completed the operator must update the test details to ensure any variations are

captured. The system will not approve any test that will result in an exceedance of the

allowed noise budget.

The ETMS includes a reporting function to produces daily, quarterly and annual reports.

The software also sends automatic emails to Christchurch Airport staff and senior

operator staff should a breach occur; the noise levels are close to breach limits; a

malfunction has occurred; or when scheduled tests have not been completed where

noise budget has been reserved. In the instances of a breach steps will be taken to

inform the Council and the Airport Noise Liaison Committee and formulate future steps.

Additionally, this process allows the airport to proactively manage on-aircraft engine

testing noise. If a new operator intends to establish a testing facility or whenever a

particular change in the airport on-aircraft engine testing regime occurs, a requirement

to check noise compliance is triggered. The airport can use the ETMS to assess the

noise impact of such a change.

5.1.4 GROUND RUNNING PROCEDURES

Christchurch Airport have developed a ground running procedure, this procedure is a

tool to help all operators (including Antarctic operations) who conduct on-aircraft engine

testing implement the ETMS. This procedure outlines how and when to use the ETMS,

ETMS restrictions to be adhered to and the responsibilities of all parties. The document

also outlines penalties to be imparted upon operators who breach the Plan restrictions.

A copy of this document is attached in Appendix 4 of this Plan

The United States Antarctic Programme (USAP) has signed the Ground Running

Procedures Policy document however, in accordance with rule 6.1.6.2.6 (a) (iv) (A) they

are not bound by the restrictions in the District Plan. For the USAP, a clause has been

added to their document that requests that all engine tests are undertaken between the

hours of 0700 and 1900 where possible.



Before the next revision of the NMP CIAL will commence discussion with NZDF

encouraging NZDF to undertake on-wing engine testing activities between the hours

07:00 to 19:00 hours, it is understood NZDF engine testing activities at CIAL are rare

and only occur in special circumstances.

5.2 CONSIDERATION OF ALTERNATIVES

Alternative methods for managing and mitigating noise to achieve the reduction of noise

effects from all aspects of aircraft operations including on aircraft engine testing was

considered during the District Plan Review Process.

The use of a ground run-up enclosures (GRE) was considered. The use of such a facility

was balanced against the imposition of on-aircraft engine testing contours and on-

aircraft engine testing restrictions in relation to whether it would achieve suitable

reductions in noise levels. The cost of developing such a facility was also considered in

the context of predicted reduction in noise levels. The use of a GRE was not considered

to be a suitable alternative to the use of noise contours and on-aircraft engine testing

restrictions as a more effective means to manage aircraft on-aircraft engine testing

noise.

Christchurch Airport have considered and implemented alternative methods to power

aircraft while they “parked” on the Apron during boarding, unloading and turning around

time between flights. Traditionally aircraft would use engines to provide power to the

aircraft or alternatively plug into ground power unit (GPU’s). Christchurch Airport

provide ground power services allowing aircraft to “plug-in” removing the need to run

engines or run GPU’s and noise associated with running engines or GPU’s. Apron noise

resulting from operations not associated with aircraft movement is not covered by the

definition of aircraft operations in the District Plan, however this alternative does reduce

noise generated on the campus.

Christchurch Airport will revisit alternatives when they are put forward. The Airport

Noise Liaison Committee is the main forum for consideration of alternatives.

Airport Noise Management Plan Noise Monitoring Programme


6 NOISE MONITORING PROGRAMME

The District Plan requires Christchurch Airport to monitor noise levels and produce

monitoring reports.

As mentioned in section 5, the main purpose of noise monitoring is to determine

whether noise levels comply with the maximum noise limits set out in the District Plan

and to allow noise management procedures to be instigated where exceedances occur.

There are separate noise monitoring and reporting requirements for aircraft operational

noise and on-aircraft engine testing noise.

The monitoring and reporting requirements are outlined in rule 6.1.6.2.5 and 6.1.6.2.6

in The District Plan.

6.1 MONITORING OPERATIONAL NOISE

Noise from aircraft operations is monitored using both calculations from an operational

aircraft noise model and records of actual aircraft movements. Noise is also monitored

using real time noise measurements which are then used to verify the accuracy of the

operational aircraft noise model.

6.1.1 THE ANNUAL AIRCRAFT NOISE CONTOUR

The primary method for monitoring operational noise is by calculating ‘compliance

contours’. These use the total number of aircraft movements occurring in a given year

to produce the Annual Aircraft Noise Contour (AANC). As referenced in NZS6805: 1992

the noise model used to develop the AANC is the United States Federal Aviation

Authority Integrated Noise Model (INM). The INM is the same model used to prepare

the District Plan noise contours. Noise calculations are performed by a person with

appropriate qualifications and experience in airport noise modelling and acoustics

assessment.

The AANC map is based on total aircraft movements from the busiest three-month

period of the previous year. The calculations take account of aircraft type, time of day,

runway used, timing and published flight paths. INM does not provide for actual flight

paths flown however published flight paths are used. Airways and the Acoustic engineer

go through a visual process reviewing flight path information ensuring the published

flight paths used in the INM are still a reasonable approximation of actual flight paths

flown. Any new published flight path procedures are also incorporated into the INM. In

the future CIAL hopes to use updated modelling software which provides for the use of

actual flight paths flown when calculating the AANC. Christchurch Airport has produced

aircraft noise contour maps annually since 2006. The contour produced is then assessed

against the 65 dB Ldn air noise compliance contour in the District Plan to determine

compliance.

Where the AANC are calculated to be within 2 decibels of the District Plan compliance

contour, Christchurch Airport will conduct an initial summary review as to the extent

and cause of this margin. The Compliance and Development Manager and Acoustic

Engineer will be responsible for making the decision to conduct the initial summary

review and any further analysis that may be required.

Where the AANC are calculated to be within 1 decibel of the District Plan compliance

contour, Christchurch Airport will undertake more detailed analysis including noise

measurements to verify the AANC. The Compliance and Development Manager and



Acoustic Engineer will be responsible for making the decision to undertake a more

detailed analysis. Noise measurement results and analysis would be contained in the

annual noise monitoring report and the methods for further investigation communicated

to the Liaison committee.

6.1.2 VERIFICATION OF THE AANC

Verification of the AANC is to be completed no less than every 3 years. If the AANC is

within 1dB of the compliance contour in the District Plan, Christchurch Airport will

increase the verification frequency to every year. The Compliance and Development

Manager and Acoustic Engineer will be responsible for making the decision to undertake

verification measurements. Verification is to be completed using NMT placed within the

vicinity of Christchurch Airport and the process to identify the exact locations of the

NMT is to be decided on consultation with the Airport Noise Liaison Committee (ANLC).

Details of the noise verification including information such as the noise measurement

programme, and noise analysis are to be included in the noise monitoring report. It is

expected that noise measurements would primarily be used to verify the AANCs, but on

occasion can be used to assess specific noise issues.

6.2 MONITORING ON-AIRCRAFT ENGINES TESTING NOISE

Noise levels from on-aircraft engine testing is monitored using noise calculation software

(ETMS) and real-time noise verification measurements.

6.2.1 CALCULATING ON-AIRCRAFT ENGINES TESTING NOISE USING

THE ETMS

Noise levels from on-aircraft engine testing is monitored using noise calculation software

which uses data supplied from actual on-aircraft engine testing events. The noise level

is calculated as a 7-day rolling average, that is the average level of noise resulting from

on-aircraft engine testing over the previous 7-day period. This is calculated

automatically each day for the preceding 7-day period by the ETMS. The ETMS also

calculates daily maximum noise level in relation to the daily 75 dB LAmax noise limit at

the edge of the residential zone that the airport must also comply with. The ETMS is

verified using noise measurements to be conducted in accordance with rule

6.1.6.2.6v.B.

6.2.2 MEASURING ON-AIRCRAFT ENGINE TESTING NOISE

Noise from on-aircraft engine testing must also be measured to verify that the calculated

noise levels are accurate. Measurements must be taken from the on-aircraft engine

testing Compliance Monitoring Positions. There are 8 monitoring positions located on

each of the 65 dB Ldn dB and 55 dB Ldn on-aircraft engine testing contours, and a further

3 positions along the boundary of the residential zone. The monitoring positions are

shown in figure 2 in Section 3.2 of this plan.

Christchurch Airport completed the first-round on-aircraft engine testing noise

verification measurements in the last quarter of 2017. Results of verification

measurements are detailed in 2017 Annual Noise Monitoring report. In accordance with

the District Plan Christchurch Airport will undertake on-aircraft engine testing noise

verification measurements biannually, results and analysis of verification measurements

is to be included in the annual Noise Monitoring report. Christchurch Airport will also on



occasion undertake specific on-aircraft engine testing noise measurements when it is

deemed necessary to do so.

6.3 NOISE REPORTING

In accordance with rule 6.1.6.2.5 and 6.1.6.2.6 of the District Plan Christchurch Airport

is required to produce annual noise monitoring reports for both aircraft operational noise

and on-aircraft engine testing. The Annual Noise Monitoring Report is submitted to

Christchurch City Council and is made publicly available on the Christchurch Airport

website. The report is produced for the calendar year (1 January – 31 December). In

addition to reporting requirements as outlined in the District Plan the annual report will

also include any other acoustical considerations during the previous calendar year.

6.3.1 REPORTING AIRCRAFT OPERATIONS NOISE:

Information in the annual noise monitoring report on aircraft operations noise includes:

• The AANC; • The results of any verification measurements undertaken; • Analysis of whether the noise from aircraft operations complied with the

noise limit at the 65 dB Ldn noise compliance contour; • Any instances where noise levels exceeded the permitted limit at the

compliance contour, and the reasons for the exceedances; • A summary of the complaints received over the previous year in relation to

noise from aircraft operations, and the actions taken in response.

6.3.2 REPORTING ON-AIRCRAFT ENGINE TESTING NOISE:

Information in the annual noise monitoring report on On-aircraft Engine testing

includes:

• The results of verification measurements taken;

• Analysis of whether the noise from on-aircraft engine testing has complied

with the applicable noise limits;

• A summary of complaints received over the previous year in relation to

noise from on-aircraft engine testing, and any actions taken in response.

The ETMS includes a reporting function capturing data required to compile the annual,

quarterly and daily reporting requirements, Christchurch Airport makes these reports

publicly available and submits reports to CCC for compliance purposes.

6.3.3 QUARTERLY ON-AIRCRAFT ENGINE TESTING REPORTING:

The District Plan also requires Christchurch Airport to provide a Quarterly On-aircraft

Engine Testing Report to the CCC. The report must include:

• a summary of all on-aircraft engine testing activities undertaken during the

quarter;

• All tests undertaken that complied with the applicable noise limits;

• All tests undertaken that are exempt from the noise limits, (e.g. tests on

Antarctic aircraft) the reasons the tests were exempt and any measures

taken to manage noise effects during those tests.

Information required to compile quarterly reports is captured and reported via the

ETMS. Christchurch Airport makes these reports publicly available and submits reports

to CCC for compliance purposes. Quarterly reporting periods are January-March, April-



June, July-September, October-December. The report will be published no later than

the 30th of the month following the completion of the reporting period.

6.4 SOFTWARE REVIEW

Noise monitoring for both aircraft operational noise and on-aircraft engine testing noise

use acoustic software packages to generate predicted noise levels. Noise calculations

for aircraft operational noise uses the Version 7 of the INM. Compliance contours in the

District Plan were also developed using v7 of INM. To ensure consistency of calculated

noise levels Christchurch Airport intend to use the same software applied to develop

noise contours in the District Plan.

Christchurch Airport will review software packages used to calculate aircraft operational

noise levels as new versions of the software are developed. At a minimum Christchurch

Airport will review software used every five years.

The ETMS is a software packaged developed by acoustic engineers taking account of

noise level data sourced from aircraft manufacturers and noise measurements of aircraft

on the ground at Christchurch. Engines testing noise verification measurements

(detailed in section 5.2.1) are used to update the software package to ensure calculated

noise levels are an accurate representation of actual noise levels generated.

Airport Noise Management Plan Appendix 4: Engine Testing Management System Software


APPENDIX 4: ENGINE TESTING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

SOFTWARE

The Engine Testing Noise Management Software (ETMS), was developed so that

Christchurch Airport could quantify and manage on-aircraft engine testing noise emissions

around the airport. The software could calculate noise emissions at multiple receiver

locations, based on actual records of on-aircraft engine testing that had occurred.

Several sources of input data were required to develop the ETMS, as discussed below.

On-aircraft engine testing Activity Data

Maintenance staff record in the ETMS a detailed set of information including the type of on-

aircraft engine testing activity, aircraft model, date and time, wind direction, and speed,

duration of each engine ‘on’ time, power setting and aircraft orientation, as well as the

location of the test. These records are then used by the ETMS to calculate community noise

exposure at the different locations specified in the District Plan

Noise Source Data

An essential component of the ETMS calculation procedure is a detailed knowledge of the

noise level emission levels of each aircraft type. This information includes noise level and

directivity patterns and a variety of engine settings for each aircraft. This data has been

collected via noise measurements at Christchurch and elsewhere, in conjunction with noise

emission data sourced from aircraft manufacturers.

Manufacturers Noise Emission Data

For each type of aircraft on which on-aircraft engine testing occurs at Christchurch, noise

level emissions data has been sourced through a literature review and discussions with the

manufacturers, with some exceptions. Data for some aircraft types were not available at

the time of the ETMS development. For these aircraft, reference has been made to

measured aircraft flyby noise levels, and emissions data found within the INM noise model

to determine appropriate equivalent aircraft on-aircraft engine testing noise levels where

data is available.

However, because of the limited number of tests that occur, noise emissions from these

are not expected to significantly affect the overall community noise levels, and overall

airport on-aircraft engine testing compliance.

Noise emission data comprises noise level measurements in polar plot form, for various

engine types and under various thrust settings. This enables a fully comprehensive set of

noise emissions data to be used. All manufacturer noise emission data is based on-site

noise measurements of aircraft, with measurements occurring under reference

meteorological conditions and at reference microphone positions.



As well as this, noise measurements near various aircraft engine test events at

Christchurch have been undertaken and these have been complimented by measurements

at locations in the community. These noise level measurements have been used to ensure

that the manufacturers data is accurate, and represents actual on-aircraft engine testing

noise levels in practice. The noise measurements ensure that noise emissions data used in

the calculations is accurate.

Computer Noise Modelling

Computer noise modelling was then employed to calculate community noise exposure

levels for a number of different operating scenarios. The noise levels calculated for the

final version of the ETMS was sound pressure levels at the 19 ETCMP receiver locations

stipulated in the District Plan.

The verified noise emissions data was used in noise modelling software to calculate noise

levels for each possible on-aircraft engine testing scenario at each receiver location. The

purpose of this is develop a database of noise levels received at each location for each

scenario so that differing noise exposure levels in the community can then be calculated, in

accordance with the District Plan noise controls.

Each scenario is based on a specific:

• Aircraft type

• Power setting

• Orientation

• Location

Based on these parameters there are more than 1500 operating scenarios which have been

calculated.

Computer noise modelling was carried out using SoundPLAN, an internationally recognised

computer noise modelling software package.

In summary, a digital topographical model of the area of interest was entered into

SoundPLAN together with locations of the noise sources (noise levels have been predicted

in accordance with the algorithm detailed in ISO9613-2: 1996- Acoustics – Attenuation of

sound during propagation outdoors – Part 2: General method of calculation (ISO9613) as

implemented in SoundPLAN.

ISO9613 considers a range of frequency dependent attenuation factors, including spherical

divergence, atmospheric absorption, ground effect, acoustic screening and directivity

effects. It assumes meteorological conditions favourable to propagation from sources

(downwind at wind speeds 1 -5 m/s in all directions), and as such, calculates slightly

conservative sound levels.



The directivity effects that have been included are taken from the manufacturers’ noise

emission data.

Engine Testing Noise Management Software (ETMS)

The calculated sound pressure levels for each one of the above operating scenarios are

then compiled into a database in the ETMS. It is the ETMS that is then used to calculate

community noise exposure based on this noise level database and the historic records of

time/duration of each operation activity.

The Engine Testing Management Software (ETMS) has since been further developed by

Marshall Day Acoustics and Translate Digital for Christchurch Airport. It is similar in

concept to the software used to show compliance with the general aircraft noise emissions

(INM) in that it is based on the records of the actual on-aircraft engine testing that has

been carried out.

The ETMS is now a predictive tool that can be used to proactively manage on-aircraft

engine testing noise. The software does not allow tests to be scheduled that would breach

the relevant controls. Instead, a maintenance engineer could look at scheduling the test

during the day, or at a different location or orientation.

This ability to review possible on-aircraft engine testing scenarios allows the airport and the

maintenance staff to manage how the testing is conducted, and therefore how to manage

the on-aircraft engine testing noise emissions.

rescheduling of Engine Tests should it identify that an Engine Test cannot occur

in accordance with the proposed parameters;

• Entering all Engine Test details in ETMS within one hour of the Engine Test

occurring;

• Ensuring all high-power jet Engine Tests are undertaken between the hours of

0700 and 2200 except for Unplanned Engine Tests (as defined on page 7 below)

and tests undertaken in association with the Antarctic Programme;

• Ensuring all high-power turbo-prop Engine Tests of five minutes or more are

carried out between 2200 and 0700 occur at the threshold of runway 11 except

for when the runway is in use or when the Engine Test is undertaken in

association with the Antarctic Programme;

• Using all reasonable endeavours to ensure Engine Tests carried out in

association with the Antarctic Programme comply with these requirements.

Aircraft operators must obtain prior approval from Air Traffic Control (ATC) to conduct

all Engine Testing. Aircraft operators must ensure that towing or taxi operations of



aircraft on the movement areas of Christchurch Airport is done in accordance with all

reasonable directions of CIAL, regulatory requirements, any NOTAMS, manufacturers

operating procedures and conditions contained in any other relevant document

information.

AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL (ATC)

ATC will prioritise the safety of aircraft using taxiways and runways adjacent to aircraft

carrying out Engine Testing on threshold Runway 11. Where necessary ATC may limit

the use of Engine Testing locations and / or power setting to maintain the safe operation

of aircraft movements.

District Plan



ENGINE TESTING PROCEDURES

The Christchurch District Plan requires that all engine tests comply with the 65 and 55

dB Ldn engine testing contours as identified in Figure 1 above and a 75 dB LAmax. As

such, all aircraft operators and their agents undertaking engine tests must follow the

steps outlined below:

1. Schedule an engine test: all tests, light/line or heavy maintenance, must be

scheduled regardless of time or location. To schedule a test the operator must:

a. Log into the ETMS system at

https://www.etms.christchurchairport.co.nz;

b. Enter test parameters;

2. Contact Air Traffic Control (“ATC”) for approval (Christchurch Ground frequency

121.9); prior to conducting all Engine Testing on the airfield except as provided

for in the CIAL By-laws. Please advise ATC of the following details: aircraft

callsign/registration, aircraft type, power setting (idle, low, med or high power)

and location of engine run. For example: using standard phraseology

“Christchurch Ground, ATR Mike Charlie Whiskey requesting start on A13 for a

low power engine run on the #1 run pad”. During the engine test, the crew

must maintain an active listening watch. During an aircraft tow, it is not

sufficient to use the aircraft’s radio as the sole means of contact with ATC. The

tug operator must also maintain an appropriate means of communication with

ATC at all times (Christchurch Ground frequency 121.9).

3. Undertake Engine Test (if it will not result in breach);

4. Update Engine Test details in the ETMS software immediately following the

Engine Test (as detailed in Appendix 1).

The ETMS software will determine whether the scheduled Engine Test will comply

with the Christchurch District Plan noise limits and therefore whether it can occur

or if it is exempt from complying with such noise limits. If the Engine Test cannot

occur, the software will propose an alternative time or location. All aircraft operators

and their agents must comply with the outputs of the ETMS software. Failure to

comply with the requirements of the ETMS software may result in a breach of the

Christchurch District Plan noise limits, in which case the aircraft operator will be

liable for any costs incurred by CIAL to address the breach.

All aircraft operators undertaking Engine Tests will be provided with a quarterly and

annual report, tracking compliance with the Christchurch District Plan requirements. All

unplanned engine tests will be communicated to CIAL and the operations manager for

the aircraft in question or the company undertaking maintenance and repairs on the

behalf of the airline operator.

A11; and



OPERATING RESTRICTIONS

The following restrictions apply strictly to Engine Testing.

• All Engine Testing (i.e. day and night) must be scheduled using the ETMS

software;

• All Engine Tests must abide by the predictions provided by the ETMS software

as they are reflective of the District Plan requirements;

• Engine Testing must not be carried out between the hours of 2200-0700 unless

the test meets exception criteria outlined below. Engine Test details must be

accurately captured in the ETMS i.e. it must be captured as ‘unplanned’ or

‘exempt’.

• 2200-0700 – the following restrictions apply to Engine Testing:

o Only five high power jet engine tests may be carried out in any 3 month

period running 01/01-31/03, 01/04-30/06, 01/07-30/09, 01/10-31/12

each year. These tests are known as ‘Unplanned Engine Tests’;

o The total number of high power jet Engine Tests / Unplanned Engine

Tests, is limited to 12 per annum;

o All high power turbo prop Engine Tests of five minutes or more must

occur on threshold of runway 11 unless it is in use.

The only exceptions to the above operating restrictions are unplanned engine tests

defined as tests that meet the below criteria:

• Engine Tests associated with Antarctic Operations, provided that the operator

takes reasonable steps to comply with the intent of this document to the extent

practicable;

• Engine Tests have sign off from the Minister of Transport or the Director of Civil

Aviation or the Civil Aviation Authority;

• Any other Unplanned Engine Test, which is an Engine Test arising from an

aircraft operator’s identification of a safety issue relating to an aircraft fleet, or

required as a result of a natural disaster or event including volcanic eruption.

RUN-UP PAD ADJACENT TO A11 TAXIWAY

When aircraft are positioned on the ground run-up pad adjacent to the No 1 Hangar

Taxiway 11 (running or parked), A11 taxiway shall be closed to all aircraft taxi

movements past the run-up pad. It is the responsibility of the ground crew to ensure

taxiway A11 is closed for Engine Testing activities. Closing Taxiway 11 is by the way of

flashing lights, indicating the taxiway is closed, and contacting ATC to notify when the

ground run-up pad is in use.

When the area between TWY A2 and A3 is required for Engine Testing operations,

ground crews shall contact ATC in the usual manner and request permission for this

area. If approved, during these operations TWY A2 is closed. Ground crews are also

responsible for notifying ATC when the ground run-up pad is in use and ensuring the

aircraft is well lit, use of Anti Col / Marker / Logo / wing lights or by use of other suitable



external warning providing a physical on the taxiway and visual barrier i.e. with flashing

lights as appropriate such as lit marker or fog boards.

Towing aircraft on Taxiway A11, which pass by parked aircraft on the run pad, may be

carried out only with the use of wing walkers to ensure safe clearance between aircraft

is maintained.



DISPENSATION

No dispensations will be issued by CIAL for any breach of restrictions or noise limits

outlined in this document. Any breach that occurs will result in an investigation being

undertaken by CIAL to determine the cause of the breach. All aircraft operators and

their agents will be required to participate in the investigation. Should an operator found

to be liable for a breach that should trigger resource consent or enforcement action, the

operator may be required to pay the full cost of obtaining resource consent and/or the

enforcement action including but not limited to:

• Consultant fees in consent preparation;

• Technical assessments by acoustic engineers;

• Consent application and processing fees;

• Legal costs;

• The costs of public notification;

• Any costs associated with a hearing;

• Any mitigation required as a result of resource consent conditions;

• Costs associated with the shutdown of Christchurch Airport;

• Fines or other penalties issued by the local or territorial authority.

The above does not apply to engine tests that fall into the category of ‘unplanned’ or

emergency maintenance that may meet exempt or unplanned criteria as previously

defined in earlier sections of this document.

INTRODUCTION

This document is intended to guide all users of the Engine Testing Management

System (ETMS) to successfully schedule and complete on-wing aircraft engine tests

at Christchurch International Airport without breaching local noise restrictions and

regulations. The ETMS is a tool to be used by all operators who may undertake an

engine test at Christchurch International Airport. The primary purpose of the tool is

to manage legislative compliance with noise contours and engine testing restrictions

as set in local legislation as required in the Ground Running Procedures Policy

Document signed by each Agency. If compliance with engine testing restrictions is

not met, the airport may be shut-down, fined and/or be taken to court. Please follow

the instructions outlined in this handbook carefully to ensure accurate reporting.

WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES By the end of this session you will know:

• How to access the ETMS.

• How to change your password.

• How to Schedule an engine test.

• How to Amend or Cancel an engine test.

• How to complete an Engine Test.

• Explain the different emails that are sent and why they are sent.

• How to access reports, if you have a Supervisor User Account.

capacity for your test

to be scheduled by

checking the displays

to the right-hand

side of the page.

Check the following:

1. Current Engine Testing Status (should

be green or amber).

2. How much of the budget has been

consumed.

3. The percentage of noise budget used

over the past 7 days.

4. The direction in which noise exposure

should be limited or minimised.

5. Current noise exposure at each of the

4 points of the compass.



6. Click on Schedule New Test. This

brings up the Schedule New Test

form.



SCHEDULE NEW TEST FORM When scheduling a test,

all fields are mandatory

except Tester Name.



except Teste.



ENGINE TEST SCHEDULING IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS

UNPLANNED TESTS

An unplanned test is one that is carried out between the hours of 2200 and 0700, on

a Jet engine, at High power.

1. The ETMS system will identify

when a test is unplanned, and

will make the appropriate

selection on the form.

2. Unplanned tests have a limit of

5 per quarter, and no more

than 12 per year. The form

shows the current figures.

3. You are unable to schedule an

unplanned engine test if doing

so would breach noise or other

limits.

4. Unplanned tests are clearly

shown on the Dashboard as

they are highlighted in Red.




TURBO-PROP TESTS

When Turbo-prop tests are carried out between the hours of 2200-0700, at high

power for 5 minutes or longer, the test must be completed at the location

Threshold Runway 11, unless Runway 11/29 is in use.

1. Where Runway 11/29 is in

use, you must indicate this

on the form.

2. Select the test location.

3. If you select a location other

than Threshold Runway 11

and haven’t indicated that

the runway is in use, an

error message will display

when scheduling the test.

You are unable to schedule a Turbo-prop test at any location, if doing so would

breach the noise limits.




EXEMPTED TESTS

SIGNED-OFF TESTS

A test that has been signed off by the Director of the Civil Aviation Authority, or the

Minister of Transport or the Civil Aviation Authority will not contribute to the noise

budget. When scheduling the test:

1. Check the Signoff box.

2. Navigate to and attach, or

drag and drop your approval

document.

Save the test as usual. The test will not count towards the noise budget.

ANTARCTIC OPERATIONS TESTS

A test being completed on an aircraft being used for Antarctic Operations will not

count towards the noise limit. When scheduling the test:

1. Check the Antarctic

Operations box.

Save the test as usual. The test

will not count towards the noise

budget.




AMENDING/CANCELLING ENGINE TESTS

AMENDING ENGINE TESTS

At any point prior to completing an Engine Test you can edit any of the test

parameters.

1. Click on the vertical ellipsis ⋮ beside the test you wish to

edit. This shows the options

available.

2. Select Edit Test.

The Schedule Test form will display for you to edit the details.

NOTE: Changes you make may change the noise exposure of the test. You will be

unable to save your changes if they will breach the limits.

Write your own notes below.



CANCELLING ENGINE TESTS

At any point prior to completing an Engine Test you can cancel the test.


cancel. This shows the

options available.

2. Select Cancel Test.

3. Select Yes to confirm

cancellation of the test.




COMPLETING ENGINE TESTS

Once you’ve physically carried out the engine test, you must complete it in the

ETMS.

COMPLETE AN ENGINE TEST


complete. This shows the

options available.

2. Select Complete Test.

3. You are presented with the

Schedule Test form where

you can update any of the

parameters on the form. You

must update the Tester

name field.

4. When you click on Save test

details, the test is

completed and can no longer

be edited.



COMPLETING ENGINE TESTS – IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS

When you complete an engine test in the ETMS you can change the

test parameters, including the duration of the test. These changes will

impact on the noise budget.

Important: The noise budget is made up of completed and scheduled

tests over the current 7-day period. This means that the system could

show a breach of the noise limit, but by amending or cancelling some

or all future scheduled tests, there could no longer be a breach.

However, it’s possible that the test just completed has caused a

breach and cancelling future scheduled tests will not change this fact.

When a breach occurs, future scheduled tests will show either Completion Possible or

Breach.

1. Completion Possible indicates a test that could potentially be completed if parameters

are changed, or if tests showing ‘Breach’ are cancelled. Tests with this indication have

the smallest contribution to the noise budget.

2. Breach indicates that the test has a larger contribution to the noise budget, and will

need to be cancelled as it will breach noise limits.

You will have to make changes to currently scheduled tests to ensure that there

are no further breaches of the noise limit.



ETMS SYSTEM UNAVAILABILITY PROCEDURES

Should the ETMS system breakdown such that engine tests cannot be scheduled or

completed or the noise budget cannot be observed, the following precedures should

be observed:

1. Contact CIAL to notify of the system failure at [email protected] or on

(03)3537777. If the system breakdown occurs out of hours, the CIAL team will

do their best to investigate the issue the following business day;

2. Reschedule any heavy maintenance or non-urgent tests to the following day, if

possible, to safeguard against accidentally exceeding the noise budget;

3. Those tests that must be completed in the near future should record all test

details using the paper form attached in Appendix One of this training manual.

The form shall then be scanned and sent through to IOC as per the form

instructions;

4. Once the system has been operationally restored, the details of any test carried

out shall be retrospectively entered into the ETMS system by the system

operator.

mailto:[email protected]

USEFUL INFORMATION

AIRCRAFT HEADING IMPACTS AND DIFFERENCES • For Turbo-prop planes, the noise level is highest directly in front of the aircraft,

i.e. towards 0 degrees. • For Jet engines, the noise level is highest at around 120 - 140 degrees, and 220 -

240 degrees, i.e. along the backwards diagonals.

• Overall, the effect of Heading has less impact on the noise exposure than the effect of Location does.

SCHEDULING IN PART MINUTES

When scheduling, updating or completing

an Engine Test, the Duration can only be

set in whole minutes (no seconds) as

below.

However, the individual Engine Run

times can be set in 10 second

increments up to 5 minutes, and 1

minute increments thereafter, as below.



VIEWING ALL CURRENT TESTS

The default Dashboard view:

• Displays all test activity by the current logged in user only.

• Shows Scheduled and Completed tests for the past 7 days.

• Shows Cancelled tests for the past 4 days.

You can view all tests by all system users by clicking the Show all tests button.

The two displays below show the difference.



AMENDING / COMPLETING / CANCELLING TESTS – SUPERVISORS

• A person using the Supervisor login for a Maintenance Agency can Amend,

Complete and Cancel tests that have been scheduled by any user from their

Agency.

• They cannot Amend or Cancel a test that has been Completed. If a test has been

Completed in error, or with incorrect parameters, then you will need to contact

[email protected] to arrange for CIAL to cancel the test.

HOW DO I GET NEW USERS SET UP?
