Chapter 2 – Site Selection and Data Collection Protocols 4 2 Site Selection and Data Collection Protocols One of the most challenging parts of this project was finding a suitable location for data location where there was a sufficient number of elementary schools in aircraft noise affected districts near a busy airport. We had originally identified the Miami‐Dade County School in the vicinity of Miami International Airport (MIA) , but school administrators there were not receptive to the study. As a result, the study focused on schools surrounding Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)

Chapter 2 – Site Selection and Data Collection Protocols 5 using RealContours™, a proprietary tool developed by HMMH to predict noise using the FAA's Integrated Noise Model (INM) and radar data from actual flight operations. The following metrics were computed: Daily School‐day LAeq and Lmax for each day in the observation period, NA 55, 60, and 65 at each school for each day, Annual School‐day LAeq and Lmax, Annual LAeqand Lmax, and Daily TA55, TA60, and TA65 at each school for each day in the observation period.
