Noise Data Acquisition and Display System (NDADS3) User's Guide and Tutorial

Abstract

The Noise Data Acquisition and Display System (NDADS) is an interactive tool for the user-enhanced automation and creation of flight tracks and profiles for noise analysis based on radar tracking data. The NDADS system features graphical methods for the rapid creation of vectored flight tracks with statistical guidance via gate penetrations and visual references based on background maps. Profiles, including altitude, velocity, and power, critical for the evaluation of noise contours, may also be generated easily. NDADS generates files which may be read directly into the NMAP Noise Analysis system. This document describes the NDADS Version 3, which supports NMAP 5 and NMAP 7 formats, and instructs the user towards the development of aircraft flight tracks and profiles.
