Abstract
A terminal area noise management method includes receiving, at a processor, aircraft information for an aircraft operating in a region in proximity to an airport; accessing a plurality of terminal area flight paths available to the aircraft; estimating a plurality of noise profiles for the aircraft, one estimated noise profile for the aircraft for each of the plurality of flight paths; calculating a plurality of cumulative noise fairness measures using each estimated noise profile; calculating a plurality of operational efficiency values for the aircraft, one or more of the calculated operational efficiency values for the aircraft for each of the flight paths; calculating a plurality of cumulative operational fairness measures using each of the calculated operational efficiency values; and selecting a flight path for the aircraft based on maximizing a cumulative noise fairness measure and a cumulative operational fairness measure.
