Martha’s Vineyard Airport (MVY) is participating in the federal Airport Noise Compatibility Planning Process

Martha’s Vineyard Airport (MVY) is participating in the federal Airport Noise Compatibility Planning process under Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR Part 150), often referred to simply as Part 150. Participation in this process is voluntary and allows for greater understanding of airport and community noise needs, as well as providing access to Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) funding for some noise compatibility program measures, if necessary. The program provides standards for the measurement of noise, as well as its analysis, description, and documentation. Part 150 also sets forth a system for review, from both FAA and the public. The focus of the MVY Part 150 Study is on creating a Noise Exposure Map (NEM) for the airport in terms of Day-Night Average Sound Level (DNL). The FAA and most other federal agencies use DNL as the basis for evaluating effects from aircraft operations near an airport, including land use compatibility
