Abstract

The choice of the topic reflects long-term need of municipalities around the Trenčín airport to handle the situation regarding noise exposure from air traffic.

In thesis we analyze public and flight crew and airport operator opinion from multiple points of view. We compare the perception of the public, their social situation to the present air traffic operations and flight practices. The thesis includes analysis linked to the by-laws, regulations and standards and recommended practices on Public Health Authority of Slovak Republic and European union egislation with respect to public noise regulations, flight rules, air law, flight safety and aircraft noise certification. We compare the issue to similar xamples of noise restrictions abroad.
