This document reports the findings of the U.S test team's participation in the Helicopter Noise Measurement Repeatibility Program (HNMRP). The U.S./Canadian flight test was held in August of 1984 at Dulles International Airport near Washington, D.C. The principal objective of this international HNMRP is to refine noise certification testing requirements. Participating nations conducted the test programs on the same type helicopter, the Bell 206L-1 (or the acoustically equivalent 206L-3), using the same test procedures. Analyses in this document include the investigation of source noise adjustments based on increases in noise level with advancing blade tip Mach number, the examination of relative source contributions in the helicopter acoustical spectrum, and source directivity for both in-flight and static operations. This report contains helicopter noise definition information (useful in environmental impact analyses) for level flyovers at various airspeeds and altitudes, and ICAO takeoff and approach procedures. Data are also shown for a noise abatement operation involving dynamic changes in torque, rate of descent and airspeed. This report also provides information for the hover-in-ground effect, flight idle and ground idle static operations.
