Costs and Benefits of Requiring New Production of Older Aircraft Types to Meet Amended Noise Standards.
Abstract
This report examines costs and benefits associated with requiring new production of older aircraft models to meet amended noise standards. Two cases are examined: (1) all aircraft produced after 1983 must meet a noise emission standard halfway between Stage 2 and Stage 3 limits; and (2) all aircraft produced after 1985 must meet Stage 3 noise standards. The cost elements are combined and expressed as a change in direct operating costs in either cost-per-passenger mile or cost-per-aircraft mile, as appropriate. Noise benefits are estimated in terms of the change in area under a 100 EPNL contour resulting from the amended standards. (Author)
