  • AM, acoustic manikin; AMcATC, spectral-corrected values of AMfFt by ISO 11 904-2 and calculated to the ATC time; AN, free-field ambient noise;  ATC, air traffic control;  dB(A)f, sound pressure level with A-weighting and time constant: fast; dB(A)i, with time constant: impulse; Ft, flight time;  SNR,  signal-to-noise ratio.

  • ANFt measurement data during flight time are presented as well as data from an AM. Measurement data from Hoffmann.10

  • AMcATC are calculated values by using the ISO 11904-2 (11) and the ATC time.
