74 | RESOURCES FOR AIRPORTS Public Information ToolkitC Introduction The Public Information Toolkit provides information on what and how to communicate with a broad spectrum of external stakeholders, such as local politicians, business leaders, the sur-rounding community, local environmental advocates, the local pilot community, and others with aviation interests. It provides a number of direct and simple messages about NextGen and expected changes from NextGen.

Appendix C: Public Information Toolkit | 75 Communicating with Community As noted in this resource guide and ACRP Report 150: NextGen for Airports: A Primer, FAA notification procedures for changed routes that alter noise patterns may occur far enough in advance that the community forgets about them, or is unaware of them. Airports can promote good neighbor relations by providing consistent and ongoing communication about upcoming changes, raising awareness of both the positive environmental and access benefits of NextGen as well as the potential for changed noise patterns.

Appendix C: Public Information Toolkit | 83 Page 1 of 2 NextGen: Advancing Air Safety At any given time, there are around 7,000 aircraft in the air in the U.S. To monitor all of that traffic and keep it moving safely, air traffic controllers have relied on monitoring screens showing information gathered from ground-based tracking and radar systems, a process that has been used since the 1950s.

In order to make the entire system more environmentally positive, some individuals and communities will notice increased noise as air traffic is concentrated along a narrower path.
