Noise Abatement Strategies: The Critical Questions
- Which turning rules give the ìbestî results?
- noise exposure
- consistency/predictability
- alone/with standard prescribed tracks
- What prescribed tracks give the best noise reduction, while remaining operationally sound?
- for arrivals
- for departures
- with/without exceptions for visual
- handoff/gateway points
- What navigation aids or standards can be applied to minimize deviation from prescribed tracks?
- required navigational performance (RNP)
- specific hardware/procedures
- for emerging technology, knowledge base
- What other operational procedures can be added to reduce noise exposure?
- What other facilities, use restrictions, regulations, and management measures can be applied to enhance the program?
