Description
The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has proposed guidelines for establishing maximum noise levels for drone aircraft that weigh below 600 kilograms (1,300 pounds). These guidelines are to be used on a voluntary basis and do not constitute requirements for the certification of drones. The guidelines aim to offer a consistent measurement method to help set expectations for manufacturers, national aviation authorities, and other authorities. It is recommended that the resulting noise levels be reported to EASA, which later intends to build an online public repository available to operators and authorities. Comments on the proposed guidelines are due by Jan. 13, 2023.
