| Abstract | This report is the fifth in a series of seven documenting the FAA helicopter noise measurement program conducted at Dulles International Airport during the summer of 1983. The AStar test program involved the acquisition of detailed acoustical, position and meteorological data. This test program was designed to address a series of objectives including: 1) acquisition of acoustical data for use in assessing heliport environment impact, 2) documentation of directivity characteristics for status operations of helicopters, 3) establishment of ground-to-ground and air-to-ground acoustical propagation relationships for helicopters, 4) determination of noise event duration influences on energy dose acoustical metrics, 5) examination of the differences between noise measured by a surface mounted microphone and a microphone mounted at a height of four feet (1.2 meters), and 6) documentation of noise levels acquired using international helicopter noise certification test procedures. |
