ONBOARD AIRPLANE COMMUNITY NOISE AND EMISSIONS MONITOR

A method for monitoring airplane noise and emissions may include receiving a predetermined set of engine performance data for an airplane and receiving a predetermined set of airplane flight data for the airplane. The method may also include predicting at least one of a noise level and an emissions level from the airplane at each of a plurality of ground based noise and emissions monitoring stations based on the predetermined set of engine performance data and the predetermined set of airplane flight data. Each of the plurality of ground based noise and emissions monitoring stations is located at a predetermined geographic location along an expected flight path of the airplane. The method may also include presenting at least one of the predicted noise level and the predicted emissions level on a display to a pilot of the airplane to permit operation of the airplane to substantially minimize at least one of an actual noise level and an actual emissions level at each of the plurality of ground based noise and emissions monitoring stations.
