  1. Which federal act is the primary regulation governing aircraft noise standards in the United States?

    Answer: Airport Noise and Capacity Act (ANCA) of 1990

    The Airport Noise and Capacity Act of 1990 established the framework for phasing out Stage 2 aircraft and set procedures for airports to adopt noise and access restrictions.

  2. Under the FAA's Part 150 program, an Airport Noise Compatibility Program is designed to:

    Answer: Identify noise-compatible land uses and propose measures to reduce incompatible uses near airports

    Part 150 studies identify land uses around airports that are incompatible with noise levels and recommend voluntary measures such as soundproofing, land acquisition, or operational changes.

  3. An airport's Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) is required under which federal program?

    Answer: EPA's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)

    The EPA's NPDES program requires airports to develop and implement a SWPPP to prevent pollutants such as de-icing fluid and fuel from contaminating stormwater runoff.

  4. What is the primary environmental concern with aircraft de-icing fluid (glycol) at airports?

    Answer: It contaminates stormwater and can deplete oxygen in receiving waterways

    Glycol-based de-icing fluids exert a high biological oxygen demand (BOD) when they reach waterways, depleting dissolved oxygen and harming aquatic life.

  5. Which international agreement sets Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) requirements?

    Answer: ICAO Resolution A39-3

    ICAO Assembly Resolution A39-3 established CORSIA, the first global market-based measure for an industry sector to offset CO₂ emissions from international aviation.

  6. An aviation manager overseeing a terminal expansion must file an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) under NEPA when the project:

    Answer: Is federally funded or approved and may significantly affect the human environment

    NEPA requires an EIS for major federal actions—including FAA-approved airport projects—that may significantly affect the quality of the human environment.
