Addressing Aircraft Noise Challenges

2-day (16 hours) classroom course

Despite significant technological improvements over the past decades, aircraft operations generate considerable amounts of noise. This noise can have negative health impacts on humans, particularly those living in close proximity to an airport. IATA’s Noise Management in Aviation course gives an overview of the various sources and impacts of noise and takes you through the ICAO Balanced Approach to Aircraft Noise Management in order to create appropriate noise mitigation plans.
