  2. Aircraft noise pollution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_noise_pollution

    Noise-generating aircraft propeller. Aircraft noise is noise pollution produced by an aircraft or its components, whether on the ground while parked such as auxiliary power units, while taxiing, on run-up from propeller and jet exhaust, during takeoff, underneath and lateral to departure and arrival paths, over-flying while en route, or during landing.

  3. Hush kit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hush_kit

    By December 31, 1999, all Stage 2 noise jetliners 75,000 pounds or more operating in the US must have Stage 3 hush kits in order to continue to fly in the US after January 1, 2000. This regulation threatened to reduce the value of the mostly-American used airplanes that employed hush kits and hurt the profits of American hush kit manufacturers ...

  4. Aircraft vectoring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_vectoring

    comply with noise abatement procedures; avoid areas of known hazardous weather or known severe turbulence. adjust the arrival sequence; establish the aircraft on final approach track of a pilot-interpreted approach; maneuver an aircraft into a suitable position below the clouds near an aerodrome for a visual approach and landing.

  5. Airfield traffic pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airfield_traffic_pattern

    Upon each landing, depending on the runway distance remaining, aircraft and pilot capabilities, noise abatement procedures in effect, and air traffic control clearance, the pilot will perform either a full stop landing (taxi to the runway beginning for subsequent take-off), a touch-and-go (stabilize in the landing roll, reconfigure the aircraft ...

  6. Quota Count system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quota_Count_system

    Landing quota count values are based on the certificated approach noise level at maximum landing weight minus 9.0 EPNdB. Aircraft were originally divided into six QC bands from 0.5 to 16, but following a review by the Department for Transport [ 1 ] a seventh category – Quota Count 0.25 – was added in March 2007 [ 2 ] and an eighth category ...

  7. Noise control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_control

    Roadway noise and aircraft noise are the most pervasive sources of environmental noise. [2] Social activities may generate noise levels that consistently affect the health of populations residing in or occupying areas, both indoor and outdoor, near entertainment venues that feature amplified sounds and music that present significant challenges ...

  8. EPNdB - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPNdB

    Detailed information on measurement of aircraft acoustic signature to meet the requirements of Annex 16 is found in ICAO Document 9501 [5] and IEC 61265. [6] Data acquisition in one-third-octave bands is required, followed by processing to yield a logarithmically-scaled value in decibels relative to a sound pressure of 20 micropascals for each one-third-octave band.

  9. San Francisco International Airport - Wikipedia

    The costs turned out to be modest, and the post-construction interior sound level tests confirmed the predictions for noise abatement. To date over $153 million has been spent to insulate more than 15,000 homes in the neighboring cities of Daly City , Pacifica , San Bruno , and South San Francisco.
