ATAC – Who We Are
How It All Started ?
Commercial Aviation In The 60’s & 70’s
What Has Changed ?
Where To From Here ?
Who We Are
Trade Organization, established in 1934 representing
the interests of Canada’s airlines – global, national,
charter, regional/local
Vigorously advocate commercial aviation interests in
Ottawa
Work with regulators to enhance safety, reduce the
financial impact of regulations. Other members include
industry suppliers and foreign carriers doing business in
Canada
ATAC is the voice of the industry – represents over
95% of commercial air transport revenues in Canada
Always In Spotlight
How It All Started
Traffic Growth and Route Expansion
Larger Aircraft
Turbo Jets and Low Bypass Turbo Fans
Airport Expansion
Noise Mitigation Programs
Hush Kits
What Causes Noise
Engines
» Low Bypass Turbofans
» Turbo Jets
» Propeller Driven
Airframe Design
Climb Out
Landing
Reverse Thrust
Taxiing
Engine Testing
What Has Changed
Engine Types – High Bypass Turbofans
New Composite Materials
» Lighter
» Quieter
Twin Engine Aircraft
New Aerodynamic Shapes
RNAV Sid Departures
Noise Abatement Procedures
» No Reverse on Landing
» NADP Departures
NEF Recommendations
Land Scarcity
Schematic turbofan engines; the high-bypass engine (lower) has a large
fan that routes much air around the turbine, the low-bypass engine (upper)
has a smaller fan routing more air into the turbine.
Noise Abatement Woes
40 Years Old
Do Not Reflect Today’s Technologic
Reality
Costly
Cause Noise Pollution
Burn up Precious Resources
Where to From Here
NEF Contour Enforcement
Government Role
The Issue
Jet aircraft are one of the most disturbing sources
of noise in our environment. People who live in
communities near airports have become increasingly
concerned about potential health effects from aircraft
noise.
Airports Role
» Proactive Communication
» Airport Design
» Taylor NADP Departures
ANS Role
» Collaborate with Airlines
» RNAV SIDS
» Constant Descent Approaches
AVIATION TRANSPORTATION IS AN
ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENT OF
GLOBAL ECONOMICS
9 – 11 PROVED THAT
MOVE FORWARD COLLABORATIVELY
