Summary:

This paper is assessing two methods that can be used inassessing the airport noise capacity when new operational practicesare implemented at a certain airport. The example given isCDA-continuous descent approach implemented at Bucharest HenriCoanda International airport in Romania. A review of the mainoperational practices related to CDO (Continuous DescentOperations) with relevance for noise and emissions reduction, showsthe importance of working in a team when implementing newoperational practices, as well as the need to access data eitherthrough FDR (flight data recorder) or from measurements.- The example selected explains the difficulties one can have toextract FDR data. Although the authors of this paper benefittedfrom FDR from TAROM, the Romanian national airline, it wasdifficult to be extracted, so the assessment of the airport noisecapacity focused on monitoring and measurements undertaken underthe flight path. No commonly agreed methodology or toolsetpresently exists for assessing the benefits of CDA.- Noise modeling at airports may not be sophisticated enough todepict the benefit associated with CDA.Key to assessment is the supply of Flight Data Recorder output,the minor cost of provision of this could be offset against thepotentially massive fuel benefits that would accrue to airlines ifharmonized CDA can be promulgated
