7 - INFLUENCE FACTORS<br />

7.4. TEMPERATURE INFLUENCE<br />

There is no simple rule regarding temperature influence. Indeed, the temperature<br />

impacts the aircraft thrust, and when it is greater than the corner point (i.e. the<br />

temperature at which the engine thrust becomes limited by the EGT constraint), this<br />

significantly lowers the aircraft trajec<strong>to</strong>ry. It also affects the noise absorption (as<br />

mentioned above). That means that depending on the mike location, the temperature<br />

may impact the perceived noise differently.<br />

In the following graph, the noise level evolutions versus outside air temperature both<br />

include the thrust variations and the trajec<strong>to</strong>ry changes due <strong>to</strong> them, as well as the<br />

sound absorption variations.<br />

This chart shows that the temperature influence on noise levels depends on the location<br />

at which they are perceived.<br />

For the close microphone, which is under the TOGA thrust influence, the levels increase<br />

again from ISA+30, which corresponds here <strong>to</strong> the TREF (corner point). Beyond that<br />

temperature, the thrust is EGT limited, which means a sharper decrease versus<br />

temperature, thus a flyover much closer <strong>to</strong> the ground, resulting in higher noise levels.<br />
