Noise Levels and Data Correction Analysis for Seven General Aviation Propeller Aircraft.

Abstract

This document reports noise levels of a general aviation propeller aircraft noise test at the FAA National Aviation Facility Experimental Center located in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The test was performed to acquire noise data on general aviation type aircraft and examine how these noise levels are influenced by variables such as distance, aircraft speed, power settings, and propeller speeds. Aircraft were tested during takeoff, approach, and flyover modes and data are given in EPNL and in 'A'-weighted decibels. All measurements were performed in accordance with FAR 36 Appendix C and Appendix F procedures. (Author)
