HC Deb 29 November 1988 vol 142 cc209-11W
Mr. McCrindle

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will list those aircraft which meet chapter 3 aircraft noise requirements; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

The proportion of chapter 3 jet aircraft in the world fleet is increasing and has grown from 11 per cent. on 1 January 1982 to 33 per cent. on 1 January 1988. Chapter 3 jet aircraft known to the Department are:

Mr. McCrindle

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport to what extent those aircraft meeting chapter 3 noise requirements and operating out of British airports have had their noise footprint measured; whether such extend beyond the areas of the airports from which they operate; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

Measurement of noise footprints is expensive so footprints are calculated by computer. The Department uses noise footprints mainly for assessing the night-time noise disturbance caused by particular aircraft types, and for this purpose it has standardised on the 95PNdb footprint. The areas of the 95NdB footprint are known for nearly all chapter 3 aircraft using British airports. Usually most of the footprint falls within an airport's boundaries. In any one case this depends upon the aircraft type and the relationship of the boundary to the runway. By contrast, footprints of the earlier non noise-certificated types spread very far beyond airport boundaries.
