A Description of Methodologies Used in Estimation of A-Weighted Sound Levels for FAA Advisory Circular AC-36-3B.

Abstract

This report provides a description of the assumptions, methodologies and techniques employed in arriving at estimated sound levels for many of the aircraft included in FAA Advisory Circular AC-36-3B. AC 36-3B was published to provide the public and the aviation community with comparative sound level information for aircraft currently in use. Detailed noise estimation data sheets are provided for 78 aircraft types. A table showing the difference between EPNL and dB(A) for selected jet aircraft is also provided. (Author)
