• Abstract:
  Measurements of acoustic signals from aircraft operations in Pennsylvania and New Jersey around the Philadelphia International Airport during June 5-8, 1979 are reported. Data was collected for nine types of commercial jet aircraft during both arrival and departure operations for both the predominantly westerly and less prevalent easterly flight directions. Data collected show the Douglas DC-8 aircraft was louder than all other aircraft measured at the four measurement sites during the test period. The noise data collected will be used by the FAA to verify the FAA Integrated Noise Model (INM) which will be used to describe and define the impact of aircraft noise around the airport.
