Advanced Noise Abatement Approach Activities at a Regional UK Airport

In this paper researchers present a method of advanced noise abatement to be applied at airports that incorporates precision area navigation, low power/low drag elements, and continuous descent approaching. In order to be flexible and useful, the presented noise abatement procedure is designed to accommodate for an array of types of aircraft as well as satisfying various stakeholders' concerns about noise abatement. The most important interaction discovered toward such ends was between procedure design and airspace constraints. Researchers emphasize the critical nature of effective environmental performance metrics, aircraft automation levels, and air traffic control coordination for their project. At a testing site where the proposed means of abatement was applied, researchers found a 10-20 percent fuel burn/carbon dioxide emissions reduction as well as 3-6 decibel average noise reduction.
