Aviation regulator DGCA has told the National Green Tribunal that all aircraft operating from
India were compliant with noise standard requirements laid down by International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), a UN agency, in order to operate globally.
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) told a bench headed by NGT chief Justice Swatanter Kumar that the fleet of “Indian scheduled operators” is quite new and the aircraft are quieter than their earlier versions resulting in less noise pollution.
“Noise during take-off is the maximum noise generated from an aircraft as full power is required for lift off of the aircraft. The fleet of Indian scheduled operators is quite new and the aircraft are quieter than their earlier versions. All aircraft are compliant with noise standard requirements laid down by ICAO in order to operate globally.
“DGCA has issued a Civil Aviation Requirements (CAR) on noise management of aircraft operations at airports on December 18, 2014. Paragraph 3.2.2 of said CAR has directed aircraft operators to develop safe operating procedures to land at any airport with minimal use of thrust reversal without compromising the safety and runway capacity. However, the flight crew will have final authority to decide on use of thrust reversal on case to case basis,” DGCA told the green panel.
