Aircraft noise assessment calculations around an airport are discussed. The airport and its surroundings are projected on a flat reference surface, on which a network of points is superimposed. Minimum distances between flight paths and points, maximum noise levels of aircraft per category, and lateral correction factors are determined. Using this information, the number of flight motions, and night penalty factors of aircraft per category, the noise assessment is calculated in cost units with a logarithmic aircraft noise pollution formula. Interpolating between points of equal assessment, noise assessment contours and areas within them are mapped.
