Looking at the calendar it would appear that Wyle has completed all the Oceana noise contours including the Year 2000 baseline. That being the case, I need to see the results ASAP. Can you put the contours on a CDROM and FED X it to me next week? San Diego but can provide a good mailing address when I arrive.

I 'llbe in

We also need to provuide the Year 2000 Baseline to DOJs exprts--Harris/Wise and another gentlemen. Have you Peen told by them what format and scale to provide the Year 2000 Baseline? f not, lease advise ASAP via email AQd it might be usefult to follow- up with a cal to Bob Smith at 202- 685- 7023.

FInally, lease advise when the Revised AR- 2 is completed. I want to review the, results with you and then I' l also need it on a CDROM with a comparison to the original ARwill need to brief Mr. Holaday and others perhaps as early as the 14th.

Attachec is my updated analysis for looking at F

afterburner takeoffs only applies to the B model and not the A revised the A takeoff departure Thus, opposed to a mil power takeoff. - to lnclude an afterbUrer takeoff The environment is overa l its contribution to the 'noise A is louder only on takeoff, but

Thus, I think it is appropriate to model all F14 14B noise and flight profile data.

Most are small

Just talked with LCDR Pollard about the changes in the F14B profiles. changes in airspeeds. . However, he did have a major power change on the FCLP pattern. I' ll incorporate these changes in the input file and - recalculate the noise contour. The overall change will be minfmal on the contour lines (less than 500' ) but may be visible if directly compared.
I will forward the final- final F- 14B profile descriptions soon. (I' send a version will the final changes, and a clean version.
