Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aviation noise remains the primary hindrance to expansion of airport and airspace capacity in the United States. This book describes the development and practice of U.S. aircraft noise regulation, as well as the practical consequences of regulatory policy. Starting in the pre-jet transport era, the book traces the development of the modern framework for characterizing, standardizing, predicting, disclosing, and mitigating aircraft noise and its effects on airport-vicinity communities. Among other matters, the book treats noise-related consequences of the 1978 deregulation of the airline industry; prediction and mitigation of community reaction to airport noise; land use compatibility planning; recent research and industry trends; and some suggestions for potential improvements to current policy. Initial chapters describe the assumptions underlying aircraft noise regulation, and lay out the chronology of U.S. aircraft noise regulatory practice. Later chapters provide overviews of population-level effects of aviation noise, including health effects, speech and sleep interference, and annoyance. Readers will learn why predictions of the prevalence of aircraft noise-induced annoyance have systematically underestimated adverse community response to aircraft noise, and how such underestimation has complicated approval and funding of airport and airspace improvement projects. They will also learn why attempts at noise-compatible land use planning are seldom fully successful.

This book was released on 1966 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perceived Noise Level (PNdB), a technique for measuring aircraft noise, is calculated from measured noise levels and correlates well with subjective judgments in terms of annoyance and noisiness. The discussion considers the effects of physical laws and evironmental factors which attenuate, both predictably and variably, the sound pressures reaching the ground. The effects of psychological factors which influence subjective judgments are also discussed. It is suggested the effect of these factors is such that Perceived Noise Level is of useable precision and additional refinement would be superfluous. The procedure for predicting community response to airport operations using Composite Noise Ratings is discussed. Actual measurement of aircraft noise is not required. Noise contours of aircraft operations exist, and these are used in conjunction with airport operations data in a simplified procedure to derive a prediction of community response. In an effort to improve the sensitivity of the prediction process to local conditions, a separate study was made of the decision-making process on the municipal level. A definitive pattern could not be discerned and it was concluded the existing predictive procedure cannot be made more sensitive to communtiy reaction at this time. (Author).

This book was released on 2008 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aviation industry in UAE has experienced rapid expansion over the past decade due to increase in economic growth and technological advancements. UAE's total fiscal investment on airport development over the coming 20 years is estimated to exceed Dh 71 billion (US$19.35 billion). Civil aviation now a day is considered one of the greatest environmental concerns which lead to many different environmental problems. The International Aviation Organization (ICAO) secretariat considered aircraft noise as the most significant cause of adverse community reaction relating to the operation and expansion of airports. This is expected to remain the case in most regions of the world for the foreseeable future. Dubai International Airport (DIA) was established in 1959. The site was chosen not just for its proximity to town but also with future expansion in mind. Since 1992 the growth rate of incoming aircraft at DIA has been exponential, and the airport capacity has doubled between 1980 and 2001. Aircraft movement is further expected to increase in the next 20 years with the already constructed new terminal. The negative impacts of noise resulting from airport operations are known and documented globally. However, a difficulty arise in predicting the variations and changes in airport operations and aircraft noise. The specific objectives of this study were to assess the noise exposure levels, contour the noise profile within the surroundings of DIA, and depict long-term future noise exposure. Field measurements of aircraft noise were undertaken close to the runway 12L/30R end point as well at 7 key locations in the vicinity of DIA. The aircraft noise was modeled using the Integrated Noise Model (INM) which is developed by the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to simulate the current and future noise levels based on steady increase in flight operation. A future annual growth rate of 10.3% till the end of 2010 and 3.5% till the end of 2015 was used based on feedback from local authorities. The local order 61/1991 of the Emirate of Dubai states that "noise level should not exceed 55 dBA between 7:00 am and 8:00 pm and between 8:00 pm and 7:00 am". Values for community noise set by WHO state that the equivalent noise level for outdoor living area should not exceed 55 dBA. Noise measurement in the vicinity of DIA shows that equivalent noise level varies from 45-65.1 dBA during normal flight hours and from 43.8 - 69.4 dBA during busy flight hours. Also, there was a reduction in the noise level by almost 8 dBA between day and night time measurements. Measured noise level in the vicinity of the airport were close to those predicted under the current conditions. Predicted noise level at the end of 2010 at Al Rashidiya and Mirdif are 62.3 and 65.2 dBA, respectively. The predicted noise level at the end of 2015 at the two community locations will rise to 63 and 69.5 dBA, respectively. Hence, the noise under current and future flight conditions is 7-11 dBA higher (especially at night) than the regulatory limits at certain locations surrounding DIA. Mitigations scenarios were stimulated to develop guidance and mitigation measures to minimize aircraft noise impact in the vicinity of DIA. This was achieved by utilizing the runway end usages and considering wind direction. Results of the mitigated cases lead to change in noise contour and shapes and reductions of the noise level at the most affected areas like Al Khabaisi). The results also illustrated a reduction in the noise level by 3-8 dBA at Mirdif and Al Rashidiya. The second objective of the study was to assess the impact of aircraft noise from DIA on the surrounding community by conducting an individual noise survey at seven areas with consideration of distance and population density. A total of 172 respondents filled the distributed questionnaire. About 78% of the respondents were annoyed by the noise level due to aircraft movement art DIA, mainly in the areas which are in line with the flight path. There is also a difference in the percentage of people annoyed among the surveyed areas due to the differences in the distance from the airport as well as the location within the path of the runway and the flight tracks. The most affected areas based on respondents' input were Al Tawar and Mirdif. Finally several recommendation were presented by studying airports mitigation procedures, plans and legislations and considering the respondents suggestions. The noise abatement was one of the most recommended procedures by ICAO Committee on Aviation Environment Protection (CAEP). Thus, noise abatement procedures are used to redistribute the noise produced during the flight to alleviate the impact of noise on the most sensitive areas. Changing runways and routes, special noise abatement maneuvers during take-off and approach, reduces the number of people exposed to noise at specific areas around airports.

This book was released on 2018-05-29 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An analysis has been performed of measured and predicted aircraft noise levels around Denver International Airport. A detailed examination was made of 90 straight-out departures that yielded good measurements on multiple monitors. Predictions were made with INM 5, INM 6 and the simulation model NMSIM. Predictions were consistently lower than measurements, less so for the simulation model than for the integrated models. Lateral directivity ("installation effect") patterns were seen which are consistent with other recent measurements. Atmospheric absorption was determined to be a significant factor in the underprediction. Calculations of atmospheric attenuation were made over a full year of upper air data at seven locations across the United States. It was found that temperature/humidity effects could cause variations of up to +/-4 dB, depending on season, for the sites examined. It was concluded that local temperature and humidity should be accounted for in aircraft noise modeling.Plotkin, Kenneth J. and Shepherd, Kevin P.
