Note: |
|
|
|
1.
Screening effect is expected on Ka On when the helicopter is in idling &
hovering mode at the proposed helipad. Attenuation of 5 dB(A) for idling
& hovering are applied to the noise levels |
|
|
2. No
screening effect is expected to Talon Tower for all modes of helicopter
operation. |
|
|
3. No
screening effects is expected to the Bauhinia during take off mode of
helicopter operation at the proposed helipad according to the flight path. |
|
|
4.
Screening effect is expected on the Bauhinia when the helicopter is in idling
and hovering mode at the proposed helipad.
Attenuation of 10 dB(A) for idling & hovering are applied to the
noise levels. |
|
|
5. The
above noise levels predicted in Scenario 1b assuming that the flight path is
approaching from the west and take off to the east. |
|
|
6. As the
measurement data at Ka On during take off are similar to the case for the
proposed helipad, no screening effect correction are applied in the noise
levels for the take off mode. |
