| Abstract | In recent years significant effort has been expended to support and enhance the Helicopter Association International (HAI) Fly Neighborly Program, including focused FAA/NASA flight test programs and helicopter noise model development as well as application efforts conducted with university and industry support. Two of the challenges faced in implementing Fly Neighborly flight operations can be the lack of available noise abatement procedure information for specific helicopter models and/or difficulties in adapting existing noise abatement procedure information to a given heliport operation. This report documents a Fly Neighborly and iFlyQuiet demonstration conducted at East Hampton Airport, NY in September 2018. The objectives were to evaluate available resources and information for implementing noise abatement procedures, as well as to provide recommendations for modifying the existing procedures for improved Fly Neighborly effectiveness. It was found that: 1) Operators are generally aware of basic Fly Neighborly (e.g. fly higher) but tend not to tailor specific procedures for noise outside of the existing published voluntary low noise procedures. 2) Operators are open to guidance and suggestions and are willing to adapt with technical assistance. 3) Low noise procedures are needed for situations with low ceiling VFR flight or where low altitudes are necessary. |
