Airspace Design and Environmental Analysis

Airspace Redesign

Overview
Metron Aviation is recognized as an industry leader in the field of aircraft noise modeling and analysis of impacts associated with regional airspace design modifications. In support of the FAA and airport authorities, Metron Aviation has conducted numerous large-scale, multi-airport analyses of noise impacts for both low-altitude and high-altitude airspace changes.

Redesign Projects
NY/NJ/PHL Airspace Redesign Cleveland/Detroit Airspace Redesign Midwest Airspace Plan Northern Utah Airspace Initiative

Additional airspace redesign efforts include Miami Airspace Redesign, Orlando Airspace Redesign, Chicago Airspace Terminal Project, Houston Airspace Redesign, Potomac Consolidated TRACON, and St. George Airport. Metron Aviation is currently supporting the community advocate team for airspace and procedural redesign at Boston. Through these projects, Metron Aviation has developed extensive expertise in airspace design, and airport environmental planning and noise assessment.

Benefits
Metron Aviation developed NIRS (Noise Integrated Routing System), the FAA's standard regional noise model, to efficiently address the large-scale requirements of modeling aircraft noise effects over multi-state regions.

In addition, Metron Aviation has developed ADT (Airspace Design Tool) for integration and manipulation of airspace design components, and ROMA (Route Optimization for Mitigation Analysis) for determining optimal flight routes.

Metron Aviation's Noise Integrated Routing System (NIRS) identifies locations throughout a large region where aircraft noise impacts may change due to modifications in airspace design and usage.
