Aircraft Noise Modeling and Noise Perception through CDA Procedure, the Impact on Communities

This paper presents a Case Study performed in the vicinity of Henri Coanda International Airport, Romania. Measurements data (noise and radar tracks) and standard approach noise contours are offered. Based on calculation and software, radar tracks and noise contours for continuous descent approach are presented. Comparing the two data sets we assess the exposed area and the noise impact on communities. This work gives a new perspective for airport development and underlines the noise benefits brought by CDA procedure.
