Abstroct The FAA Integrated Noise Model computer program INMPROG has been made available to the public for computing a variety of noise indices in the vicinity of airports. One component of this program package is a data library which provides both acoustic and operational data for certain standard aircraft types and flight procedures. This paper presents the data used to construct the supplied program library. It thus provides the information needed to reproduce a particular analysis. Further, it provides a necessary reference point for the user who specifies his own operational procedures. 17. Key Words 18.
