Appendix: Noise and its Regulation

N. A. Cumpsty-2003-08-14-Jet propulsion

TL;DRAbstract

As jet air transport increased in the 1960's the annoyance to people living and working around major airports was becoming intense. Regulations affecting international air transport are governed by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (icao), but this body was moving so slowly that in 1969 the US Federal Aviation Agency (faa) made proposals for maximum permitted noise levels. After extensive discussions in the USA these were formally approved as Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) Part 36 in 1971, retroactive with effect from 1969, but only for new aircraft. Shortly afterwards the icao Committee on Aircraft Noise published similar recommendations, to be known as Annex 16, a formal addendum to the 1944 Chicago Convention on Civil Aviation; each member state had then to accept the rules in Annex 16 and write them into their legal framework. The underlying principle for the noise certification of aircraft under FAR Part 36 and Annex 16 are similar and has remained unchanged ever si
