NOISE PER SEAT INDEX CALCULATION METHODOLOGY
DESCRIPTION
NOISE PER SEAT INDEX (NPSI) is an index value that is calculated to effectively represent total noise emissions per seat for commercial turbojet aircraft operations at Logan. A NPSI value can be calculated for specific aircraft types, individual carrier operations or for total airport operations.
METHODOLOGY
On the follow ing pages are descriptions of the meth o d o lo g y f o r calculating an NPSI value; first for a single aircraft type and second, fo r all o p er ations conducted (or to be conducted) by an individual air carrier at Logan. The methodology for calculating an NPSI value for the entire airport is effectively the same as that for an individual air carrier except that the calculation is expanded to encompass all airport operations.

APPENDIX B
Methodology to Establish Tier I and Tier II
Criterion Values
The following pages describe the methodology for establishing for years subsequent to 1986 both the stage 3 percentage level (hereinafter referred to generally as "Tier I") and the NPSI level (hereinafter referred to as "Tier II) required of certain air carriers in order to comply with 740 CMR 24.03(1)(a) or (b).
I DATA SOURCES
These calculations willbe based on data routinely supplied by each carrier in compliance with the reporting procedures specified in 740 CMR 24.00. This data will include the following:
A. Aircraft Type Characteristics
Each aircraft type in a respective carrier's fleet that operates at Logan Airport will be defined in terms of the following characteristics.
- model series - engine type - maximum certificated landing weight - maximum certificated takeoff weight - Part 36 certificated approach and takeoff noise level in EPNdB - Part 36 stage certification (i.e., 1, 2, or 3)
B. Operations by Aircraft Type
The number of operations to be conducted by aircraft type as defined in step IA will be reported by the respective carriers. Reported operations will be uniformly changed based on projected growth for the upcoming year.
II CALCULATE ANNUAL AIRPORT CUMULATIVE NOISE
Based on the operations data by and aircraft type characteristics supplied above and projected growth calculate annual cumulative noise at Logan Airport for the upcoming year per the following steps:
A. For each carrier and aircraft type determine the proportion of scheduled daytime and nighttime takeoffs and landings conducted during the reporting period. The proportions will be computed using the OAG database. Daytime is defined as 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM and nighttime from 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM. Based on the proportions above, sub-divide the number of operations reported for each aircraft type into daytime departures, nighttime departures, daytime landings, and nighttime landings. Compute the total noise energy generated by the operations conducted in individual aircraft types as follows:
1. Take the antilogarithm to the base 10 of the TAKEOFF EPNdB noise level defined in IA and multiply it by the number of daytime departures.
(TAKEOFF EPNdB/10)
10 X Total daytime departures
2. For nighttime departures, take the antilogarithm to the base 10 of the same takeoff EPNdB noise leveland add 10 to account for the 10dB weighting for each operation conducted at night. Multiply this value by the number of nighttime departures.
((TAKEOFF EPNdB+10)/10)
10 X Total daytime arrivals
3. Take the antilogarithm to the base 10 of the Approach EPNdB noise level and multiply it by the number of daytime arrivals.
(APPROACH EPNdB 10)
10 X Total daytime arrivals
4. As in step 2 above, add the 10 dB nighttime penalty to the antilogarithm to the base 10 of the approach EPNdB level and multiply it by the number of nighttime arrivals.
((APPROACH EPNdB+10)/10)
10 X Total nighttime arrivals
III ANNUAL GOAL ASSESSMENT
Compare the cumulative annual EPNdB level computed in step II to the l984 base case level. of 156.34dB. If the computed level falls within the range of 0.1 to 0.3dB below the l984 base level then no adjustment in the stage 3% share for the Tier I criterion or the NPSI for Tier II is necessary.
If the computed annual noise level is not at a minimum of 0.1 dB below the l984 base level then Tier I and Tier II criterion will require adjustment to produce greater cumulative noise reduction. If, on the other hand, the computed noise level proves to be greater than 0.3 dB below the l984 base level, then the Tier I and Tier II criteria will be adjusted to bring the cumulative noise reduction back within the range of the projected goal of the regulations.
The methodology for calculating the adjustment to the Tier I stage 3 % criteria and the Tier II NPSI are described in the following.
IV TIER I AND TIER II ADJUSTMENT METHODOLOGY
A. Adjustment where cumulative noise not reduced in compliance with goals.
In this case the Tier I stage 3% and the Tier 2 NPSI criteria have to be constrained further to produce at a minimum a reduction in cumulative airport noise of 0.1 dB. The method to compute the required adjustments follows:
The methodology is based on the use of the database developed in section II to derive the cumulative airport noise level.
B. Adjustment Where Cumulative Noise Reduction in Excess of Goal
In this case, Tier I stage 3 share and the Tier II NPSI criteria can be relaxed to produce a maximum reduction in cumulative noise of 0.3dB. The method to compute the required adjustment follows. In each case, the methodology essentially reverses the procedures described in section IV A.
