Noise Exposure Forecast (NEF) areas resulting from takeoff and landing operations at Los Angeles International Airport are shown for 1965, 1970, and 1975. The NEF areas depict areas of differing land-use compatibility with respect to aircraft noise; hence, the NEF areas may be used as a guide to land-use planning or zoning. The NEF areas are based upon aircraft noise described in terms of effective perceived noise levels, plus consideration of the number of operations per daytime and nighttime period. NEF areas B and C show a relatively large increase between 1965 and 1970 reflecting a large increase in the number of airport operations and expanded use of Runways 24L and 24R in 1970. Between 1970 and 1975, only a slight increase in NEF areas B and C is observed, since only a moderate increase in total number of operations has been forecast.
