At the request of its Research, Engineering and Development Advisory Committee (REDAC), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is developing a comprehensive research roadmap for FAA and other interested parties to implement more systematic, effective, and complementary research programs. FAA wants to leverage resources towards substantially advancing the scientific knowledge needed by the aviation community to more optimally address the impacts of aircraft noise on society.
FAA held a preliminary forum with international noise researchers in conjunction with Internoise 2009 in August 2009 to discuss research needed to advance the current understanding of the relationship between aircraft noise and its impacts such as community annoyance and sleep disturbance. FAA now invites researchers, practitioners, and other interested parties to participate in a series of upcoming Noise Research Roadmap workshops to contribute to developing the Research Roadmap with information received from that forum.
The first workshop was held December 10-11, 2009, in Washington DC. The second workshop will be held in March 4, 2010, in conjunction with the University of California’s Airport Noise and Air Quality Symposium in San Diego, CA.
The main objective of these workshops is to outline key elements of the noise research roadmap.
