The Federal Aviation Administration's Integrated Noise Model (INM) is a series of computer programs designed to estimate environmental noise levels in the vicinity of an airport. As part of the effort's to validate INM outputs for the FAA, comparisons were made between the Sound Exposure Levels (SEL) of actual aircraft flyovers at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and SELs which were computed by the INM for identical conditions. Data for this analysis were obtained from the FAA ARTS-III radar to determine the actual slant range and velocity of observed aircraft, and from noise monitors located beyond each runway end to determine actual SEL values associated with observed aircraft. The report presents the results of the comparison of INM and observed SEL values for seven transport-category aircraft.
