Five propeller driven airplanes with a takeoff mass ranging from 650 to 4375 kg were tested, using the Takeoff Noise Certification Procedure for Propeller-driven Aeroplanes not Exceeding 5700 kg proposed by the Alternative Certification Subgroup of the ICAO Committee on Aircraft Noise (CAN)/Working Group C. Field tests show the procedure to be entirely feasible, if more time-consuming than the conventional horizontal flyover noise certification test procedure. Utilizing available data, certification noise limits are proposed for noise-metrics Maximum A-weighted Level, and Sound Exposure Level.
