Can we revisit the 1984 agreement regarding the 95 dB SENEL limit?
A. Items under the 1984 agreement can be discussed with the FAA, however the airport would have to go through the provisions and guidelines outline in FAR 161 in order to change the conditions of the agreement and adopt new aircraft restrictions. The 1984 agreement is the basis of the SMMC “Noise Code” and is the strictest aircraft noise code in the country.
