Abstract:This paper presents architectural and functional descriptions of the Aircraft Acoustics Module
(AAM) in the Federal Aviation Administration’s Aviation Environmental Design Tool (AEDT)
for modeling aircraft noise in the vicinity of airports. While the overall functionality of the
AAM was based on the FAA’s current Integrated Noise Model (INM), the development of the
AAM as a module in AEDT has led to distinct architectural differences relative to INM. In order
to highlight the new features of AEDT and its AAM, the INM will be discussed in this paper as a
reference. Following this description, the role of the AAM in noise impact analyses is discussed, including the use of AAM output to generate a variety of different noise metrics with AEDT.
