Abstract

This paper results from recent research commissioned by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra, UK) with the objective of identifying possible opportunities for the improvement of the management of noise from helicopter operations in the UK. Effected populations are not just those living close to heliports but include those exposed to noise from helicopters used by the military, emergency services, and commercial companies. A detailed report has been produced addressing the improvement of the management of helicopter noise. Also produced was a short non-technical guide including the means of redress for perceived disturbance. The report also makes clear recommendations for future work and identifies particular areas where specific research is required. This paper discusses these recommendations and suggests a way forward for research into the improvement of the management of helicopter noise.
