| Abstract | The FAA conducted a noise measurement survey of helicopter operations at three principal heliports in the borough of Manhattan in New York City on November 16-17, 1982. The purpose was to gather needed information for defining noise problems with in-service helicopter operations within urban areas. These noise data will be used to further define the environmental problems associated with helicopter operations in urban areas. Statistical community noise level data, measured on an 8-hour period at each selected site, are provided which reflect the noise levels at these sites from all local sources during that particular day. Noise data from individual helicopter operations are also provided. These data from helicopter "targets of opportunity" are termed "survey data" as opposed to "controlled test data" in order to reflect the limited control over factors with contribute to the variability of the measured noise level. Noise data are presented for the Augusta A-109, Bell 47J, Bell 206L, Bell 222, Boelkow B-105, and Sikorsky S-76. |
