Abstract: Applicants requiring noise compliance certification for subsonic jet airplanes and subsonic transport category large airplanes are subject to this information collection. Normally, applicants certify an airplane once. The FAA estimates that there will be about 15 noise certification projects involving flight test undertaken each year. The applicant’s collected information is incorporated into a noise compliance report that is provided to and approved by the FAA. The noise compliance report is used by the FAA in making a finding that the airplane is in compliance with the regulations.
