Case Study on Aircraft Noise Reduction by Variation of Departure Profiles During Night Flights
Deutscher Luft- und Raumfahrtkongress 2019 DocumentID: 490198 CASE STUDY ON AIRCRAFT NOISE REDUCTION BY VARIATION OF DEPARTURE PROFILES DURING NIGHT FLIGHTS M. Mitzkat, C. Strümpfel - Technische Universität Berlin Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Chair of Flight Guidance and Air Transport Marchstr. 12, 10587 Berlin, Germany [email protected] [email protected] Abstract Since the civil air transportation sector has been growing significantly, with an increase not only in number of flights, but also with regards to their environmental impact, emissions have been growing to the same degree. Residents in areas around airports are therefore exposed to an increasing strain of noise pollution. Past scientific research has identified large potential through the implementation of operational noise abatement procedures. The following paper will present a case study concerning noise abatement procedures during departure flight phase as a measure to reduce aircraft noise. The study was conducted on behalf of the aircraft noise commission council of Berlin-Tegel airport. The main objective of this research was to assess whether the reduction of aircraft noise pollution can be achieved by noise abatement procedures, which are specifically adapted for the purpose of night-flights. Therefore, regular domestic overnight airmail flights were conducted as test flights between Berlin-Tegel airport and Stuttgart-Echterdingen airport. Those flights, which were performed from August 2016 to May 2017, qualify perfectly for this study, due to their specific schedule and uniform testing environment combined with a higher general focus on night-time noise immissions. In order to develop sustainable operational procedures for aircraft noise reduction, a holistic approach is nec- essary.

When Architecture and Politics Meet
Housing a Legislature: When Architecture and Politics Meet Russell L. Cope Introduction By their very nature parliamentary buildings are meant to attract notice; the grander the structure, the stronger the public and national interest and reaction to them. Parliamentary buildings represent tradition, stability and authority; they embody an image, or the commanding presence, of the state. They often evoke ideals of national identity, pride and what Ivor Indyk calls ‘the discourse of power’.1 In notable cases they may also come to incorporate aspects of national memory. Consequently, the destruction of a parliamentary building has an impact going beyond the destruction of most other public buildings. The burning of the Reichstag building in 1933 is an historical instance, with ominous consequences for the German State.2 Splendour and command, even majesty, are clearly projected in the grandest of parliamentary buildings, especially those of the Nineteenth Century in Europe and South America. Just as the Byzantine emperors aimed to awe and even overwhelm the barbarian embassies visiting their courts by the effects of architectural splendour and 1 Indyk, I. ‘The Semiotics of the New Parliament House’, in Parliament House, Canberra: a Building for the Nation, ed. by Haig Beck, pp. 42–47. Sydney, Collins, 1988. 2 Contrary to general belief, the Reichstag building was not destroyed in the 1933 fire. The chamber was destroyed, but other parts of the building were left unaffected and the very large library continued to operate as usual. A lot of manipulated publicity by the Nazis surrounded the event. Full details can be found in Gerhard Hahn’s work cited at footnote 27.

Things to See in Berlin Mitte (West)
Things to see in Berlin Mitte (West) If you can't join us for one of our guided Classic Berlin Tours, then please consider our self-guided version, or you could use this as a way to better understand what we will see and explore on the tour. This tour will take you about 90 minutes to 3 hours to complete, depending on how long you spend at each stop. WARNING: This tour differs slightly from the route and content of the guided tour. We recommend using this link to get U-bahn, S-bahn, walking, bike or any directions to the Hauptbahnhof. Be sure to read our post on how to navigate public transportation in Berlin. Click here for a fully interactive map. A - Berlin Central Station The huge glass building from 2006 is Europe’s biggest railroad junction – the elevated rails are for the East-West-connection and underground is North-South. Inside it looks more like a shopping mall with food court and this comes in handy, as Germany’s rather strict rules about Sunday business hours do not apply to shops at railroad stations. B - River Spree Cross Washington Platz outside the station and Rahel-Hirsch-Straße, turn right and use the red bridge with the many sculptures, to cross the River Spree. Berlin has five rivers and several canals. In the city center of Berlin, the Spree is 44 km (27 ml) and its banks are very popular for recreation. Look at the beer garden “Capital Beach” on your left! C - German Chancellery (Bundeskanzleramt) Crossing the bridge, you already see the German Chancellery (Bundeskanzleramt) from 2001, where the German chancellor works.

Case Study Berlin Brandenburg Airport
Case study Berlin Brandenburg Airport ACE225 - Project Management in Construction Group 2 Sara Larsson Castro Lovisa Lundblad Gabriella Nilsson Xiaopeng Pang 1 Introduction In 1982 the Federal Government of Germany announced a program to privatise airports due to its background in budget restrictions, resulting in the first planned privatisation project in May 1996, the Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER Airport). The airport represented high hopes for Berlin and Germany’s leaders as it would help establish Germany as a new world center, introduce long-distance connections and provide higher passenger capacity. In September 1997 the privatization process started but was fully terminated in 2003 due to a private investor pulling out of the deal. The construction of BER airport was now fully to be built under public sponsorship and the state-owned Flughafen Berlin Brandenburg GmbH (FBB), operator of Berlin Tegel Airport and Berlin Schönefeld Airport, took the responsibility upon themselves. Even though the project organisation was initially set up as a main contract by the appointed General Manager, the FBB did not appoint a general contractor. This introduced a line of problems throughout the project, causing a major delay and price overrun. One of the main goals of this project was for the Berlin Brandenburg Airport to become the busiest airport in Germany, with a projected 45 million passengers annually. The demand for air traffic has increased dramatically since 2012, and the increase is still going on, because Berlin is a very attractive City, and the town and its environment are growing each year. This case analysis aims to dig deeper into the issues and problems related to project management that occurred during the project planning, control and execution of the BER airport.

Berlin Tempelhof: from Heritage Site to Creative Industry Hub? Dagmar
Print: ISBN 978-1-78969-873-2 Online: ISSN 2531-8810 EX NOVO Journal of Archaeology, Volume 5, December 2020: 79-91 79 Published Online: Dec 2020 Berlin Tempelhof: From Heritage Site to Creative Industry Hub? Dagmar Zadrazilova Independent Researcher Abstract Tempelhof Airport in Berlin mirrors the political, social and cultural developments in the capital and - broadly - in the whole country. Tempelhof has witnessed the heyday of the 1920s aviation, figured in the National Socialists’ power politics and acquired a reputable status in the course of the 1948/49 Berlin Airlift. During and after the Cold War, Tempelhof had been functioning as an airport, before it was closed down amidst protests in 2008. Today, the vast grassy airfield is open as a park, whilst various plans are being devised for the future usage of the former airport building. October 2018 marked the 10th anniversary since the air traffic had been discontinued. It is, therefore, an appropriate occasion to look at the Tempelhof case anew. This paper attempts to shed light on how the manifold history and symbolic value of Tempelhof Airport is – or is not – being reflected within the current usage of the site, as well as in various proposals for its future developments, and how the latter correspond to the unique atmosphere of this place. Tempelhof’s rich and unusual history re-emerges in virtually every decision about the future of the site: from the idea to turn the site into an encompassing ‘creative hub,’ to economic questions (making the building more accessible to the public, using the terminal hall and the apron for mass events, and the like), right to the opposition of large groups of locals to the Senate of Berlin’s politics.

The Story of Berlin's Airports in the Story of the City Itself
AIRPORT CITY LIMITS: A CRITICAL ASSESSMENT OF THE REDEVELOPMENT OF BERLIN’S FLUGHAFEN SCHÖNEFELD by RAWLEY JOHN VAUGHAN A Masters Project submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Regional Planning in the Department of City and Regional Planning. Berlin 2006 ______________________________ Harvey Goldstein Advisor to Melissa There are some who say that communism is the wave of the future. Let them come to Berlin. John F. Kennedy, 26 June 1963 2 Abstract A large airport and its “airport city” can be a regional economic driver. Berlin—capital of a rich nation yet home to a stagnant economy—is building a new airport. The government is involved on many different levels, as it hopes this new airport, Berlin Brandenburg International, can spur economic development. The best and chosen site for this new airport is actually an old one, Schönefeld, yet old airports tend to be near settlements dense enough to cause substantial pushback from some of the neighboring population. The inevitable anti-airport protest recently has produced a legal settlement that allows for the new airport’s construction, but it curtails certain aspects that would make it more of an economic driver. Also, the various levels of government have competing motives for what sort of “airport city” development occurs nearby. This paper examines the projected impacts—both positive and negative—that Berlin Brandenburg International airport is likely to produce. It also evaluates other claims and projections made by those for and against its construction, by placing commercial aviation in Berlin in the contexts of Germany and Europe.
