Noise Monitors Location at major airports
With Noise Abatement Procedures published for most major airports around Australia, can anyone tell me the type of noise monitors that are placed strategically under flight paths to catch the offenders? (if any in Australia).
Where are these noise monitors placed and are their positions published in AIP?
Are they sophisticated listening devices linked to computers - or just disgruntled pensioners who love media and CASA attention? In UK and Europe, the noise police are quite deadly and too many reports can see a operator banned from an airport. At some airports in Europe, a vehicle parks near the runway and reports any noise above idle reverse thrust on aircraft landing.
