The Transportation Research Board (TRB) Environmental Impacts of Aviation Committee (AV030) issued its first annual summary of critical issues in aviation and the environment in the United States in 2004 (TRB, 2004). This report updates that summary with the goal of identifying priority research that can yield potential benefits during a period that spans the next several years to several decades. The value of the summary is intended to be its crossdisciplinary review of topics of interest to airports and other elements of the civil aviation community, with the focus on the state of science rather than on policy. The summary comprises six sections: three that address the major environmental media affected by aviation activities (noise, air quality, and water quality) and three that address key processes that link aviation and the environment (analytical tools, environmental review processes, and technology deployment). Each section is divided into subsections that Define the critical issues in the media or process area; Discuss the current state of practice, research, and policy; Define a vision of future capabilities that would address the critical issues; and Identify specific research needs to help achieve the vision.
