Abstract

Aviation is subject to increasing environmental scrutiny. This can often be compounded by a poor understanding of environmental and operational interdependencies. Aircraft noise and carbon whilst being environmental emission that the aviation sector is working to reduce, can often be subject to separate policies and regulations. Although carbon emissions are one of the main contributors to environmental impacts at a global level, other environmental impacts, such as noise, result in more localised impacts to the natural environment and communities. This paper presents analysis that quantifying the potential carbon consequences of various airspace noise management measures. This has been possible through processes developed to describe the interrelations between fuel burn, consequential carbon and noise emissions of various noise abatement procedures. Using this process, the overall environmental performance of various noise management measures are considered. This analysis has identified noise management measures which are beneficial with respect to noise and carbon emissions, however others have been identified which could increase carbon.
