00:05.940 --> 00:08.150
Historically , military installations

00:08.150 --> 00:10.200
have been located in rural areas ,

00:10.390 --> 00:12.420
which were better for security and

00:12.420 --> 00:14.450
allowed for an ample buffer between

00:14.450 --> 00:16.880
military activities and civilian

00:16.880 --> 00:19.290
communities . Over time , however ,

00:19.590 --> 00:21.534
military installations have become

00:21.534 --> 00:23.701
magnets for commercial and residential

00:23.701 --> 00:25.868
developments . Because of the economic

00:25.868 --> 00:28.090
and employment opportunities that these

00:28.090 --> 00:31.590
installations offer , Military

00:31.600 --> 00:33.880
airfields are a major contributor to

00:33.880 --> 00:36.500
the local community and economy . This

00:36.500 --> 00:39.000
contribution may increase development

00:39.000 --> 00:41.920
around the base . When incompatible

00:41.920 --> 00:43.970
development occurs , there is the

00:43.970 --> 00:45.803
potential to expose residents to

00:45.803 --> 00:48.180
increased noise levels and safety risks ,

00:48.230 --> 00:50.119
while potentially threatening the

00:50.119 --> 00:52.920
installations . Flying mission In

00:52.920 --> 00:56.320
1973 the Department of Defense created

00:56.320 --> 00:58.470
a tool to assist communities in

00:58.480 --> 01:00.920
understanding the impacts associated

01:00.920 --> 01:03.420
with military airfields and to promote

01:03.420 --> 01:05.660
development compatible with air

01:05.660 --> 01:09.150
operations . This tool is known as the

01:09.160 --> 01:12.110
Air Installations Compatible Use Zones

01:12.110 --> 01:14.850
Program or a cooze .

01:16.140 --> 01:18.590
The goal of the accused program is to

01:18.590 --> 01:21.760
protect the health , safety and welfare

01:21.760 --> 01:25.030
of those living and working on or near

01:25.040 --> 01:27.330
military installations by encouraging

01:27.330 --> 01:29.510
land use that is compatible with

01:29.520 --> 01:33.380
aircraft operations at the

01:33.380 --> 01:35.690
core of the cruise program , our

01:35.700 --> 01:38.260
recommendations for land uses in areas

01:38.260 --> 01:41.270
exposed to various levels of noise and

01:41.280 --> 01:45.260
accident potential , the initial step

01:45.270 --> 01:47.810
in the coos process is preparation of

01:47.810 --> 01:50.600
the study to establish noise contours

01:50.630 --> 01:54.510
and is divided into three zones . Land

01:54.510 --> 01:57.100
use recommendations Air applied to keep

01:57.110 --> 02:00.150
noise sensitive uses such as residences ,

02:00.160 --> 02:03.610
auditoriums and schools outside of high

02:03.620 --> 02:05.320
and moderate noise zones .

02:07.340 --> 02:09.680
While noise concerns are considered a

02:09.680 --> 02:12.180
high priority , the safety of the

02:12.180 --> 02:14.180
surrounding community is one of the

02:14.180 --> 02:16.750
primary purposes for the coups program .

02:17.880 --> 02:20.460
The Department of Defense uses accident

02:20.490 --> 02:24.250
potential zones or AP Z's to show areas

02:24.250 --> 02:26.320
where an accident is most likely to

02:26.320 --> 02:30.300
occur . If one occurs . A PC's are

02:30.300 --> 02:33.040
located below aircraft flight tracks

02:33.050 --> 02:35.690
near the ends of runways . While the

02:35.690 --> 02:38.270
possibilities of an aircraft mishap are

02:38.270 --> 02:41.550
remote . The A Cooze program recommends

02:41.550 --> 02:43.540
that land uses that promote high

02:43.540 --> 02:46.270
concentrations of people such as

02:46.280 --> 02:48.950
shopping centers , churches and hotels

02:48.960 --> 02:51.280
be avoided in the accident potential

02:51.280 --> 02:54.620
zones . The Federal Aviation

02:54.620 --> 02:56.676
Administration and the Department of

02:56.676 --> 02:58.900
Defense also have defined flight safety

02:58.900 --> 03:00.970
zones around airfields and below

03:00.980 --> 03:03.220
aircraft departure and approach flight

03:03.220 --> 03:06.580
tracks for the safety of aircraft . The

03:06.580 --> 03:08.630
height of structures such as cell

03:08.630 --> 03:12.220
towers , buildings and wind farms and

03:12.220 --> 03:14.760
vegetation is restricted within the

03:14.760 --> 03:17.850
zones . Other safety criteria that

03:17.850 --> 03:19.530
should also be examined four

03:19.530 --> 03:22.860
compatibility include uses that produce

03:22.870 --> 03:26.370
dust , smoke or steam which may obscure

03:26.370 --> 03:29.050
pilot vision . Uses the generate ,

03:29.050 --> 03:32.280
direct or reflected lighting uses that

03:32.280 --> 03:34.720
produce electromagnetic interference

03:34.740 --> 03:36.684
that could interfere with aircraft

03:36.684 --> 03:38.790
navigation , communication and other

03:38.790 --> 03:41.440
systems and uses that could attract

03:41.440 --> 03:43.650
birds to the vicinity of the runway .

03:44.940 --> 03:47.600
Everyone has a role in a cooze

03:47.600 --> 03:49.990
implementation . It is up to the

03:49.990 --> 03:52.560
military to ensure that its impacts on

03:52.560 --> 03:54.338
the community are as minimal as

03:54.338 --> 03:56.320
possible . While not degrading the

03:56.320 --> 03:59.810
flying mission wherever possible , hush

03:59.810 --> 04:02.350
houses and test cells are utilized to

04:02.350 --> 04:04.628
reduce the noise of engine maintenance .

04:04.628 --> 04:07.020
Runups and noise abatement techniques

04:07.030 --> 04:10.060
are incorporated , new missions are

04:10.060 --> 04:13.080
examined and updated . ACHOO studies

04:13.090 --> 04:16.160
are provided to the community . Local

04:16.170 --> 04:17.948
and regional governments should

04:17.948 --> 04:19.700
incorporate the coups planning

04:19.700 --> 04:22.370
guidelines into comprehensive plans ,

04:22.590 --> 04:25.560
zoning disclosure ordinances and

04:25.710 --> 04:28.520
building codes . Builders should

04:28.520 --> 04:30.710
incorporate sound insulation into

04:30.710 --> 04:34.050
residences in high noise zones , and

04:34.540 --> 04:36.373
real estate professionals should

04:36.373 --> 04:38.940
disclose possible military impacts to

04:38.940 --> 04:42.390
potential buyers . The accused

04:42.400 --> 04:44.840
program provides the tools necessary to

04:44.840 --> 04:46.784
promote compatible development and

04:46.784 --> 04:49.062
activities near military installations .

04:50.140 --> 04:53.160
By working together , the military and

04:53.160 --> 04:55.382
the community will help to preserve the

04:55.382 --> 04:57.382
defense mission while improving the

04:57.382 --> 04:59.590
quality of life for those who live

04:59.730 --> 05:01.270
outside the fence .
