Abstract:As required by Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Order 8110.4C: “Type Certification Process” (most recently revised as “Change 5”, 20 December, 2011), the Volpe Center Acoustics Facility (Volpe), in support of the FAA Office of Environment and Energy (AEE), performs audits of aircraft noise certification applicants’ software and methodologies to ensure conformance with the requirements and specifications of Federal Regulation Title 14 part 36 (Part 36). These audits are executed as “validations” of applicants’ software, instrumentation and procedures. In order to effectively validate the software and methodology used by an applicant for aircraft noise certification, Volpe requests that the applicant provide detailed information and datasets, as described in the attached documents. Volpe will evaluate the applicant’s methodology to determine whether it is in conformance with the specifications and requirements of Part 36, and will attempt to emulate the applicant’s process. The results will be compared with those of the applicant to verify that the applicant's correction, calculation and adjustment procedures are valid. Once the validation process is completed, Volpe will generate a validation report to be submitted to AEE, who will then make an approval determination. It should be noted that Volpe has no authority to approve applicants’ use of software or methodology for aircraft noise certification.
