Accession Number:

Record Type:

Monograph

Abstract:

The FAA’s Aviation Environmental Design Tool (AEDT) is a software tool that models aircraft flight performance to compute noise, emissions, and fuel burn. AEDT is used for many types of aviation environmental analyses, from single airport studies to assessments of multi-airport systems and even nationwide and global studies.This Guidance Document was developed to provide users of AEDT – from novices to experienced users – with a guide on the varying approaches to profile modeling, including when and how to use ACRP 02-55 tools and data to support airport environmental studies. Within the context of this project, the focus was placed on single airport environmental analysis. Following an introduction section, the Guidance Document contains the following sections: Available Modeling Methods; Selection of Modeling Method Overview; Modeling Process Details; Interpretation of Results; and Conclusion.
