Development and Application of Procedures to Evaluate Air Quality and Visibility Impacts of Low-Altitude Flying Operations

Abstract

This report describes the development and application of procedures to evaluate the potential air quality and visibility impacts of low-altitude aircraft flights. The impacts of pollutant emissions from aircraft engines were found to be potentially significant only with respect to PSD Class I air quality increments, which are applicable over certain national parks and wilderness areas.... Air pollution, Aircraft engine emissions, Air quality, Computer model, Military airspace, Atmospheric dispersion, Pollutant concentrations.
