Subject field(s)
  • Noise Pollution
  • Air Traffic Control
CONT

... several related decibel scales have been proposed that are to reflect various annoyance factors. One such scale was developed specifically to rate aircraft noise.

OBS

The term "aircraft" encompasses both aerodynes (airplanes, helicopters) and aerostats (balloons, airships). However, it is very often used to designate, specifically, an aerodyne (an airplane, a glider or a helicopter).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Pollution par le bruit
  • Circulation et trafic aériens
CONT

[...] un ensemble de procédures d'approche, d'atterrissage et de décollage a été conçu et périodiquement révisé en vue de limiter le nombre de personnes touchées par les émissions de bruit des aéronefs [...]

OBS

Les aéronefs comprennent les aérodynes (avions, planeurs, hélicoptères) et les aérostats (ballons et dirigeables). Il arrive très souvent, cependant, que le terme anglais «aircraft» ou que son pendant français «aéronef» soient employés pour désigner un type spécifique d'appareil, en particulier l'avion.
