This book was released on 2017 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The implementation of Performance Based Navigation (PBN) routes across the National Airspace System (NAS) has caused a significant concentration of flight tracks. This flight track concentration also creates a concentration of noise impacts on the communities surrounding airports, which has led to an increase in noise complaints at many airports that have implemented these routes. In order to understand these changes in noise, and to design procedures that could help mitigate any negative effects, it is important to have modeling tools capable of capturing the noise impacts of flight track variability. This thesis develops a model for this purpose. First, twenty days of radar flight trajectory data from 2015 and 2016 at Boston Logan International Airport (KBOS) is used to quantify the observed distributions of variability in speed, altitude, and lateral track position. It is shown that altitude and speed variability have relatively small impacts on noise, but that the impacts of observed lateral variability are significant. Using this information, a physics-based model is developed to capture the noise impacts of lateral flight track variability. This tool is then used to model several example scenarios. First, the changes in noise due to pre- and post-PBN procedures are examined for KBOS Runway 33L departures. Next, a hypothetical procedure is designed to intentionally introduce lateral dispersion to KBOS Runway 33L departures. Finally, the tool is used to rapidly model noise impacts on due to both arrival and departure operations on all runways at KBOS. The model is shown to reduce computational expense by 1-2 order of magnitude relative to traditional methods. The results of these example analyses show that increased lateral dispersion causes a significant noise reduction at higher noise levels directly below the flight track at the cost of wider contours at lower noise levels. Because of this, any decision to add or remove flight track lateral dispersion has highly localized impacts that depend on the geometry of the route and the population of the surrounding area, and thus must be closely analyzed on an individual basis.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The implementation of Performance Based Navigation (PBN), such as Area Navigation (RNAV) and Required Navigation Performance (RNP), has led to aircraft being able to fly designed flight tracks very precisely. This has led to communities citing the concentration of aircraft along one flight track as a noise issue because of the frequent overflights above specific areas. In order to assess the impact of frequent overflights, metrics for understanding the annoyance mechanism were necessary. The metric Nx, which is a count of the number of overflights above the A-weighted maximum sound level (L[subscript A,max]) of xdB during the day and (x-10)dB during the night, was investigated. The metric Nx required analysis of the L[subscript A,max] noise level to count as an overflight, as well as the number of overflights that represented the annoyance threshold. N60 on a peak day with 50 overflights was shown to represent at least 80% of the complaint locations at BOS, MSP, LHR, and one runway at CLT. Alternatively peak day DNL is also shown to be a possible representative noise metric and will also be investigated. A noise metric representative of the impacts of frequent overflights allowed for communication of analysis results for possibilities for dispersed flight tracks. Important ways to communicate analysis results to stakeholders included: overall increase or decrease in population exposure to N60 on a peak day with 50 overflights, the change in the number of N60 overflights for the areas of impact, and presentation of the data that allowed stakeholders to understand the impact within the boundaries of their specific representative area. These tools will allow communities to understand the noise impacts of the procedures considered and will support the stakeholder decision processes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guidebook should be of interest to airport managers and other staff from airports of all sizes who are responsible for responding to neighboring communities regarding aircraft noise issues. It provides guidance on how best to improve communications with the public about issues related to aircraft noise exposure. Specifically, the guidebook presents best practices that characterize an effective communications program and provides basic information about noise and its abatement to assist in responding to public inquiries. It also suggests tools useful to initiate a new or upgrade an existing program of communication with public and private stakeholders about noise issues. An accompanying CD-ROM contains a toolkit with examples of material that has been successfully used to communicate information about noise, as well as numerous guidance documents about noise and communications that have seldom been brought together in the same resource.
Book Synopsis Systems Analysis of Community Noise Impacts of Advanced Flight Procedures for Conventional and Hybrid Electric Aircraft by : Jacqueline Leah Thomas
Download or read book Systems Analysis of Community Noise Impacts of Advanced Flight Procedures for Conventional and Hybrid Electric Aircraft written by Jacqueline Leah Thomas and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent changes to aircraft approach and departure procedures enabled by more precise navigation technologies have created noise concentration problems for communities beneath flight tracks. There may be opportunities to reduce community noise impacts under these concentrated flight tracks through advanced operational approach and departure procedures and advanced aircraft technologies. A modeling method to assess their impacts must consider the contributions of aircraft engine and airframe noise sources as they vary with the position, thrust, velocity, and configuration of the aircraft during the flight procedure. The objective is to develop an analysis method to design, model, and assess the community noise reduction possibilities of advanced operational flight procedures performed by conventional aircraft and advanced procedures enabled by future aircraft concepts. An integrated analysis framework is developed that combines flight dynamics and noise source models to determine the community noise impacts of aircraft performing advanced operational approach and departure procedures. Aircraft noise due to the airframe and engine is modeled using an aircraft source noise module as each noise component varies throughout the flight procedure and requires internal engine performance states, the flight profile, and aircraft geometry. An aircraft performance module is used to obtain engine internal performance states and aircraft flight performance given the aircraft technology level. A force-balance-kinematics flight profile generation module converts the flight procedure definition into altitude, position, velocity, configuration, and thrust profiles given flight performance on a segment-by-segment basis. The system generates single-event surface noise grids that are combined with population census data to estimate population noise exposure for a given aircraft technology level and procedure. The framework was demonstrated for both advanced approach and departure procedures and advanced aircraft technologies. The advanced procedure concepts include modified speed and thrust departures as well as continuous descent, steep, and delayed deceleration approaches for conventional aircraft. The ability to model advanced aircraft technologies was demonstrated in the evaluation of using windmilling drag by hybrid electric aircraft on approach to allow the performance of steep and delayed deceleration approaches for noise reduction beyond the performance capability of standard gas-turbine aircraft.

Book Synopsis A Guide To U.S. Aircraft Noise Regulatory Policy by : Sanford Fidell
Download or read book A Guide To U.S. Aircraft Noise Regulatory Policy written by Sanford Fidell and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-07-03 with total page 151 pages. 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 2018-10-24 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To meet its objective of assisting the U.S. aviation industry with the technological challenges of the future, NASA must identify research areas that have the greatest potential for improving the operation of the air transportation system. To accomplish this, NASA is building an Aviation System Analysis Capability (ASAC). The Flight Track Noise Impact Model (FTNIM) has been developed as part of the ASAC. Its primary purpose is to enable users to examine the impact that quieter aircraft technologies and/or operations might have on air carrier operating efficiency at any one of 8 selected U.S. airports. The analyst selects an airport and case year for study, chooses a set of flight tracks for use in the case, and has the option of reducing the noise of the aircraft by 3, 6, or 10 decibels. Two sets of flight tracks are available for each airport: one that represents actual current conditions, including noise abatement tracks, which avoid flying over noise-sensitive areas; and a second set that offers more efficient routing. FTNIM computes the resultant noise impact and the time and distance saved for each operation on the more efficient, alternate tracks. Noise impact is characterized in three ways: the size of the noise contour footprint, the number of people living within the contours, and the number of homes located in the same contours. Distance and time savings are calculated by comparing the noise abatement flight path length to the more efficient alternate routing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes a computer program to calculate community noise exposure as determined by the Noise Exposure Forecast (NEF) methodology. Studies by the United States Environmental Protection Agency have meanwhile led to the specification of another community noise exposure measure: the Day/Night Average Level (DNL). Since the two types of descriptors are essentially similar, the computer program may be adapted to this new unit when the need arises without the need to redevelop the computational algorithms.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aircraft noise is a growing source of community concern around airports. Despite the introduction of quieter aircraft, increased precision of onboard guidance systems has resulted in new noise impacts driven by overflight frequency effects. Noise issues present a potential barrier to the continued rollout of advanced operational procedures in the US. This thesis presents a data-driven approach to simulating and communicating noise effects in the flight procedure development and modernization process, with input from multiple stakeholders with varying objectives that are technical, operational, and political in nature. First, a system-level framework is introduced for developing novel noise-reducing arrival and departure flight procedures, clarifying the role of the analyst given diverse stakeholder objectives. The framework includes relationships between baseline impact assessment, community negotiation, iterative flight procedure development, and formal implementation processes. Variability in stakeholder objectives suggests a need to incorporate noise issues in conjunction with other key operational objectives as part of larger-scale US air transportation system modernization. As part of this framework development, an airport-level noise modeling method is developed to enable rapid exposure and impact analysis for system-level evaluation of advanced operational procedures. The modeling method and framework are demonstrated by evaluating potential benefits of specific advanced procedures at 35 major airports in the US National Airspace System, including Performance Based Navigation guidance and a speed-managed departure concept.
