The Authority operates a Noise and Operations Monitoring System (NOMS) that provides noise and flight tracking information for OIA and OEA. The system consists of a series of permanent and portable noise monitoring stations used to collect noise exposure data. In addition, the NOMS records flight track information and aircraft altitudes. Data collected from the system is transmitted to a central computer located in the Authority offices.

Data is stored and used to evaluate noise complaints, document runway use and flight corridors, assist in the development of noise mitigation measures, identify trends in noise exposure and provide support for

the development of noise contours. Specific data related to noise monitoring is available for review at the Noise Abatement Office.

The Authority has a full-time noise abatement officer on staff. This individual is responsible for operating the NOMS system, supporting ANAC, assisting in the implementation of noise abatement measures, talking with citizens who have questions or complaints regarding aircraft noise and maintaining the latest information related to aircraft noise around OIA and OEA.
