Cessna Citation Sovereign manuals

This document is a technical report focused on the aircraft noise exposure related to the Key West International Airport's Bypass Taxiway, Apron Expansion, and Security Fencing Environmental Assessment. It outlines the regulatory background, methodology for noise analysis, and results of noise exposure assessments. The report utilizes the FAA's Aviation Environmental Design Tool (AEDT) to evaluate potential noise impacts and provides detailed data on aircraft operations, including those of the Cessna Citation Sovereign. This document is intended for airport planners, environmental scientists, and aviation stakeholders interested in understanding the noise implications of airport operations.

• The Cessna Citation Sovereign had 655 operations in 2019, projected to increase to 686 in 2024 and 730 in 2029.
• The noise analysis uses the FAA's AEDT to develop DNL contours for assessing noise impact.
• The DNL is a 24-hour time-weighted sound level expressed in A-weighted decibels, crucial for evaluating noise exposure.
• The report forecasts a total of 57,087 operations in 2024 under the No Action scenario, increasing to 58,787 with the Proposed Action.
• The total area within the DNL 65 and greater contour is approximately 400 acres as of 2019.
