Product Code:SAE AIR5715
Title:Procedure for the Calculation of Aircraft Emissions
Issuing Committee:A-21 Aircraft Noise Measure Noise Aviation Emission Modeling
Scope: This AIR describes procedures for calculating emissions resulting from the main engines of commercial jet and turboprop aircraft through all modes of operation for all segments of a flight. Piston engine aircraft emissions are not included in this AIR. Some information about piston engine aircraft emissions can be found in FOCA 2007. The principal purpose of the procedures is to assist model developers in calculating aircraft emissions in a consistent and accurate manner that can be used to address various environmental assessments including those related to policy decisions and regulatory requirements.
