Abstract

Sets out methods for the measurement of noise from existing or proposed helicopter landing sites, and helicopter overflights. It provides technical guidance for local planners, government agencies, and operators in calculating the acoustic environment near existing and proposed helicopter landing sites or routes as a result of helicopter operations.

Scope

This Standard provides methods for measurement of the impact of noise from existing or proposed helicopter operations on the surrounding community. It applies to the noise generated by helicopters on the ground, on approach and departure, and en route. This Standard does not provide an evaluation of the noise compatibility of sites considered for helicopter operation as criteria for the assessment of helicopter sites are governed by the environmental authority in each State.
NOTES:
1 Operations of helicopters en route come under the Civil Aviation Regulations (CAR) or
Civil Aviation Orders (CAO).
2 Applications to the appropriate Aviation Authorities to approve a variation from the
conditions of CAR and CAO are assessed for environmental effects under the Environment
Protection (Impact of Proposals) Act.
