From page 18...
... 18 The following list of potential strategies was developed from the literature review (in particular the HAI Fly Neighborly Guide and the Los Angeles Helicopter Noise Initiative Report) , and the airport survey.
From page 19...
... 19 the community, FAA, and the aircraft operators into a forum or round table for discussing issues and developing noise management programs. Helicopter Noise Management Program A noise management program is a means to implement the goals of reducing helicopter noise in the community and track the progress toward meeting that goal.
From page 20...
... 20 Los Angeles has the helicopters broadcasting 1205 or 1206, which makes them distinguishable from fixed-wing aircraft. Where airports or FAA have established voluntary or mandatory helicopter routes, the flight tracking system can monitor and report adherence.
From page 21...
... 21 literature search for this synthesis found research from agencies such as NASA, university consortiums, and industry about how to design helicopters to reduce noise. However, there is a complicating factor when it comes to quieter helicopter technology.
From page 22...
... 22 Establishing minimum altitudes can reduce helicopter noise. The altitude of the helicopter has a direct effect on the noise level experienced on the ground.
From page 23...
... 23 effect, by even a few knots, can have a significant effect on the noise experienced on the ground. Also, tight turns can focus increased noise on a particular location.
