Abstract:

Noise continues to be a major environmental problem at airports throughout the country. A brief review is given of the federal actions that have occurred over the last 30 years in attempts to reduce and abate aircraft noise impacts. The current Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) emphasis on land use compatibility studies is noted. An overview and simple sensitivity analysis of the primary airport noise analysis tool--the FAA's Integrated Noise Model (INM), is presented. The analysis includes the effects of aircraft type, stage length, airport elevation, and temperature selection. By reviewing the results of this analysis, users of the INM can increase their awareness of the sensitivity of the generated noise contours to input variables.
