Comparison of Aircraft Noise Models with Flyover Data

Kurzfassung

This note deals with validation and verification issues in aircraft noise prediction. We use two different comprehensive simulation software: FLIGHTand PANAM. The comparison is done on the basis of extensive flight data taken on an Airbus A319-100 operated by Lufthansa. This note aims to contribute to the establishment of rational validation standards as well as realistic accuracy margins on integral noise metrics. The computer codes are briefly described. Results are shown for a variety of microphone positions, located sideways and directly along selected departure and approach flight ground tracks.
