Course overview
Course Overview
This course is intended to help those who have an aircraft noise management responsibility to discharge their responsibility, and to help other stakeholders understand what is involved in aircraft noise management. It will give delegates a thorough grounding in the regulatory framework for aircraft noise control internationally and in the UK; noise mapping principles for assessing/quantifying noise and techniques for noise control and mitigation. Â Following attendance, delegates will be aware of what they must do to effectively manage aircraft noise at a civil airport.
Who should attend?
This course is suitable for:
- Airport Environment Managers
- Airspace change managers / consultancies
- Local Authority EHOs and Planners
- Government officials and analysts
- Overseas NAAs
- Local community stakeholders
- Noise consultants
Key topics
This training course will include the following topics:
-
-
- Aviation noise fundamental concepts
- Airport noise effects, including noise exposure, noise impacts (annoyance, sleep disturbance and health impacts) and monetary valuation of aircraft noise
- Introduction to noise management, including ICAO Balanced Approach
- Noise Management regulation, including Operating Restrictions Regulation 2014/598 and END Noise Mapping Directive 2002/49/EC
- Assessment and quantification of aircraft noise including Minimum Noise Modelling Requirements CAP2091
- Noise control and mitigation
-
Course objectives
By the end of this course, through presentation and interactive discussion delegates will demonstrate:
- Awareness and understanding of the regulations and principles of noise management according to the ICAO balanced approach
- Understanding of the basics of aircraft noise and its effects on people
- A detailed understanding of how noise can be measured and modelled, and its impacts quantified
- Knowledge of noise management techniques and how they can be used to support assessing, mitigating and controlling aircraft noise
