This report describes the NOISEMAP 6.0 Noise Exposure Model and is intended as a user's guide for these programs. The report provides operating details on the MCM, OMEGA 10 and 11, and NMAP60 computer programs (which are all encompassed by the term NOISEMAP 6.0). The BASEOPS and NMPLOT programs are also discussed but only in relation to their interaction with NOISEMAP 6.0. Information regarding the changes made between NOISEMAP 6.0 and older versions are listed and a methodology for converting older NOISEMAP decks to this new version is discussed. The limitations of NOISEMAP 6.0 are detailed. An example case is provided for a small joint-use airfield. Three general aviation categories are employed (single, twin, and jet) and one military designation. Appendix C provides a complete listing of all the military and civilian aircraft which are contained in NOISEFILE 6.0 including power settings and airspeeds. Keywords: Acoustics; Aircraft noise; Engine noise; Community noise exposure; Environmental impact. (edc).

Aircraft noise has adverse impacts on passengers, airport staff and people living near airports, it thus limits the capacity of regional and international airports throughout the world. Reducing perceived noise of aircraft involves reduction of noise at source, along the propagation path and at the receiver. Effective noise control demands highly skilled and knowledgeable engineers. This book is for them. It shows you how accurate and reliable information about aircraft noise levels can be gained by calculations using appropriate generation and propagation models, or by measurements with effective monitoring systems. It also explains how to allow for atmospheric conditions, natural and artificial topography as well as detailing necessary measurement techniques.
