Abstract

Civil aircraft noise certification standard is based on the ICAO Annex 16 Vol. 1. And, the standard uses A-Weighted SPL, EPNL and SEL method depending on the aircraft category. Korean noise standards, KAS 36 and other nation's CS 36 and FAR 36 noise standards were developed and revised according to the international noise standards, ICAO Annex 16. And, the national noise requirements are equivalent each other. The small airplane noise certification requires only take-off noise level with A-Weighted SPL in dB(A) unit. The first Korean aircraft noise certification was performed for the KC-100 certification in August 2012 with Korean authority and U.S. FAA. The noise certification requires much knowledge and experience in flight tests and noise data processing. In this study, the noise test requirements, test conditions and data correcting methods are shown with the test examples.

현재 항공기 민수인증분야에서 국제적으로 사용하고 있는 항공기 소음인증기준인 ICAO Annex 16 Vol. I에서는 항공기의 종류에 따라 A-Weighted SPL, EPNL, SEL 계산법을 사용하고 있다. 우리나라를 포함한 미국, 유럽도 이를 기반으로 항공기 소음인증기준을 개발하여 사용하고 있으며, KAS 36, CS 36, FAR 36 기준이 모두 동등하고 제한 값은 동일하다. 소형 항공기의 경우에는 이륙소음 한계만 규정하고 있으며, dB(A) 단위의 A-Weighted SPL 계산법을 사용하고 있다. 국내에서는 2012년 8월에 KC-100 항공기에 대하여 소음인증을 최초로 수행한 바 있으며, 당시 FAA와 함께 KAS 36과 FAR 36 해당 기준을 동시에 만족하는지 시험평가 되었다. 소음인증시험의 경우 시험조건과 처리방법이 까다로워 많은 경험과 배경지식이 필요하다. 이에 KC-100 인증비행시험을 기반으로 소형비행기의 소음인증 기준 분석과 시험조건 및 데이터 처리방법을 실 인증사례를 바탕으로 제시하고자 한다.
