Monthly Runway Use Report
The runways at Midway are utilized at different times primarily depending upon the prevailing wind conditions on the airfield, as well as any runway maintenance. Aircraft performance requirements make it necessary for
aircraft to depart and land into the wind for safety reasons.
The Runway Use Report presents the average number of daily operations on each runway and the percentage of use for each runway. The percentage of use for each runway is shown graphically for departures and arrivals for
all hours of the day and night and for all aircraft types.
Annual Noise Level Report
The data presented summarizes the Day Night Average Noise Level (DNL). DNL is a 24-hour time averaged sound exposure level with a 10 dB nighttime(10PM to 7AM) weighting.
The Aircraft DNL Table displays the measured aircraft DNL for each month, each quarter, and the year-to-date measurement. The quarterly noise levels for each site are shown graphically on the Aircraft DNL Chart.
The daily aircraft DNL varies from day to day. This is primarily because different runways are used under different wind conditions, which affect where the aircraft fly.
