Analysis Noise Abatement Procedures Schiphol
Noise Abatement Procedures (NAPs) are specific procedures designed to reduce noise impact in the airport surroundings. At Schiphol Airport, three main NAPs are considered; Noise Abatement Departure Procedures (NADP), Continuous Descent Approaches (CDA), and reduced flap setting descents. These NAPs reduce noise through a reduction in aircraft thrust and drag. However, the implementation of these NAPs is sensitive to aircraft type, aircraft mass, weather, air traffic, and other factors. Therefore, analysing compliance of flight tracks with NAPs is challenging. This research aims to incorporate a data-driven approach to analyse the compliance of flight tracks with NAPs such as NADP, CDA, and reduced flap setting descents through Automatic Dependent Surveillance–Broadcast (ADS-B) and Automatic Dependent Surveillance–Contract (ADS-C) data. By improving NAP detection, this research supports better evaluation of NAP compliance and aircraft noise emissions at Schiphol.
