HC Deb 22 February 1995 vol 255 cc189-90W
Mr. Denham

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what estimate he has made of the noise levels on take-off created by(a) the Ilyushin 76 and (b) the Antonov 12.

Mr. Norris

Noise certification data provided by the Russian Civil Aviation Authority show that at a certificated take-off weight of 170 tonnes, the IL-76TD with D-30KP engines has a noise level of 102.7 EPNdB—sideline—and 103.1 EPNdB—flyover. Equivalent data do not exist for the AN-12 but its estimated performance is within the range 93 to 95.9 EPNdB at a take-off weight of 61 tonnes.
