This study supports re-design of airspace and procedures for management of Urban Air Mobility (UAM) fleet operations given a metropolitan area. The goal is to maintain geographic separation of UAM flight tracks from densely populated areas for reduction of potential negative community impact of UAM, and manage flight trajectory in anticipation of allowable noise levels and current land use. A UAM route inventory and a demographic-data-optimized topographic map are developed for Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex to identify routes or baseline route segments for reduction of noise impact. Noise contours will be computed for baseline route and alternative route design given various UAM demand levels. The impact of UAM fleet noise will be predicted based on number of people inside the noise contours. The final manuscript will present the noise compliance analysis.
