Noise Exposure Level N3 (75 Ldn or higher) is the area of greatest impact. Noise Exposure Levels are classified into three levels. Since 1974, the Department of Defense has been using the Day-Night Average Sound Level (Ldn) noise descriptor. Residents, property owners, visitors and prospective property owners should be aware of these factors. Emerald Isle is primarily in APZ II and no properties in the Town are within the Clear Zone. Accident Potential Zone II (APZ II) is the designated area adjacent to APZ I on the side farthest from the runway along the flight path of approaching and departing aircraft, where the risk to humans and/or property from an aircraft accident, if one were to occur, is less than in the Clear Zone or APZ I. Accident Potential Zone I (APZ I) is the designated area adjacent to the Clear Zone on the side farthest from the runway along the flight path of approaching and departing aircraft, where the risk to humans and/or property from an aircraft accident, if one were to occur, is less than in the Clear Zone. The Clear Zone (CZ) is the designated area adjacent to the runway along the flight path of approaching and departing aircraft, where the risk to humans and/or property from a an aircraft accident, if one were to occur, is the greatest. What are Accident Potential Zones?Īccident Potential Zones (APZs) are 'areas immediately beyond the ends of runways and along primary flight paths and are subject to more aircraft accidents than other areas.' There are several designations within an APZ. The field is also used by rotary wing aircraft. These simulations are possible because the deck lighting and simulated superstructure provide the same landing cues as if the pilot were landing on a ship. where AV-8B Harriers can practice field carrier landings in realistic conditions. MCALF Bogue is one of only two places in the U.S. Marine Corps Auxiliary Field (MCALF) Bogue is maintained by the Marine Wing Support Group (MWSG-27) and is used by the 2nd Marine Air Wing (MAW) to practice expeditionary airfield procedures. What does the military do at Bogue Field and why is it important?

Many of these aircraft are conducting training at Marine Corps Auxiliary Field Bogue which is located north of the Town across Bogue Sound. Because of the Town's location to these facilities it is not uncommon for residents and visitors to see military aircraft flying over the Town. The Town of Emerald Isle is located in very close proximity to several military bases. Why are there military planes flying over Emerald Isle?
