  • Noise Levels and Communications on the Flight Decks of Civil Aircraft
    NOISE LEVELS AND COMMUNICATIONS ON THE FLIGHT DECKS OF CIVIL AIRCRAFT M C Lower (1) & M Bagshaw (2) (1) ISVR Consultancy Services, University of Southampton, Highfield, Southampton, SO17 1BJ, UK (2) British Airways Health Services, Y130 Speedbird House (S279), PO Box 10, Heathrow Airport, London, UK ,1752'8&7,21 Routine hearing tests suggest that some flight crew may have slight hearing losses, mainly in one ear. Such losses are considered to be noise related, and to result from the widespread practice of listening to radio communications through a headset covering one ear only, leaving the other ear uncovered to allow direct conversation between crew members on the flight deck. Ambient noise levels on flight decks and noise levels from crew headsets were therefore measured on a sample of aircraft including all types in the 1995 British Airways fleet. 0($685(0(1760$'( Measurements were made during scheduled flights within the UK and from the UK to Continental Europe, the USA and Canada. Throughout each flight a manikin, ‘Kemar' [1], was strapped into the observer's seat behind the captain. Kemar wore a headset connected in parallel with the captain's so that Kemar and the captain heard the same communications through the same type of headset controlled by the same volume controls. The headset was placed over Kemar's left ear only, leaving the right ear uncovered. The outputs from both of Kemar's ‘eardrum’ microphones were recorded via a B&K microphone power supply, two B&K 2230 sound level meters and a Sony TCD-D10 DAT recorder.

  • British Airways Profile
    SECTION 2 - BRITISH AIRWAYS PROFILE OVERVIEW British Airways is the world's second biggest international airline, carrying more than 28 million passengers from one country to another. Also, one of the world’s longest established airlines, it has always been regarded as an industry-leader. The airline’s two main operating bases are London’s two main airports, Heathrow (the world’s biggest international airport) and Gatwick. Last year, more than 34 million people chose to fly on flights operated by British Airways. While British Airways is the world’s second largest international airline, because its US competitors carry so many passengers on domestic flights, it is the fifth biggest in overall passenger carryings (in terms of revenue passenger kilometres). During 2001/02 revenue passenger kilometres for the Group fell by 13.7 per cent, against a capacity decrease of 9.3 per cent (measured in available tonne kilometres). This resulted in Group passenger load factor of 70.4 per cent, down from 71.4 per cent the previous year. The airline also carried more than 750 tonnes of cargo last year (down 17.4 per cent on the previous year). The significant drop in both passengers and cargo carried was a reflection of the difficult trading conditions resulting from the weakening of the global economy, the impact of the foot and mouth epidemic in the UK and effects of the September 11th US terrorist attacks. An average of 61,460 staff were employed by the Group world-wide in 2001-2002, 81.0 per cent of them based in the UK.

  • British Airways Announces Huge Boeing Order 28 February 2019
    British Airways announces huge Boeing order 28 February 2019 "It's the ideal replacement for the 747 and its size and range will be an excellent fit for the airline's existing network," Walsh added. Earlier this month, European planemaker Airbus said it would stop building its A380 superjumbo, its competitor to the ageing 747. Prior to Airbus' announcement, Walsh had said that IAG was "very pleased" with the 12 A380s operated by BA and called it an "excellent" aircraft. However, Walsh had criticised the high cost of the A380, pointing to the "great competition" currently British Airways will order billions of dollars worth of existing between aircraft manufacturers. planes from Boeing, it said on Thursday Speaking of the Boeing-BA deal, Kevin McAllister, president and CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes, said in Thursday's statement: British Airways on Thursday announced a multi- billion dollar deal to buy up to 42 Boeing 777 fuel- "The 777-9, in particular, simply has no competitor efficient passenger jets, after Airbus said it would in its class when it comes to efficiency and no longer make the A380 superjumbo. performance.

  • A Balanced Approach to Noise Management Noise at Source
    Noise Noise has historically been the main environmental issue for people living close to airports. It remains high on the agenda of public concern, with the focus mainly on aircraft operations, though there is also potential for noise disturbance from ground operations and maintenance. A Balanced Approach to noise management Both the EU and the UK have adopted the International Civil Aviation Organisation’s (ICAO) recommended “Balanced Approach to Airport Noise Management”. Where a noise problem has been identified at an airport, the Balanced Approach process requires the agreement of a noise objective. Following this, all potential measures to manage noise at the airport must be identified, and a cost benefit analysis to determine the most cost-effective package of measures, carried out. The Balanced Approach consists of four main elements: • Noise at source • Operating procedures • Land use planning • Operational restrictions Noise at source Aircraft noise is generated by a number of different ‘sources’, though the dominant one is still the main engines, on approach airframe noise is now becoming important. Noise standards for new aircraft types, are established by ICAO, and published in Annex 16 volume 1, one of the technical annexes to the Convention on International Civil Aviation (Chicago, 1944). Noise limits are set at three points; two for take-off (one underneath the flight-path, and one to the side,) and one for approach (underneath), and new aircraft types have to demonstrate that they meet these limits to be allowed to operate. The Annex is split into a number of “Chapters”, which contain appropriate standards for different aircraft types, Chapter 4, is the latest standard for subsonic jets, and came into force for newly certificated types at the beginning of 2006.
