7 1 Summary The primary tool that airport operators use to measure the environmental consequences attributed to aviation is the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA's) Aviation Environmental Design Tool (AEDT)

8 relationships with FAA, funding due to their priority in terms of aircraft fleet coverage, and also more internal resources that can be leveraged for standard profile generation. Therefore, the larger manufacturers generally supply a wider range of profiles covering more airframe engine combinations, trip distances, and procedure variations.

9 The whole modeling process for departure profiles has received the lion's share of the attention from a modeling method and data perspective, relative to other operation types, due to the aforementioned dominance of departure operations on the airport noise the models were originally created to predict. The main issue with current standard departure profiles is that they represent manufacturer-defined ideals without consideration of local airspace/Air Traffic Control (ATC)

10 is focused on single-airport, terminal area modeling which generally relies on the use of existing default flight profiles, with a small number of users creating their own customized profiles in a cumbersome, manual way that requires FAA approval for Federal regulatory studies. By learning lessons from practitioners who have gone through the custom profile process in the past, increasing the number of default profiles available to choose from within AEDT, filling in a gap in AEDT's currently available mechanisms for creating custom profiles, and providing accompanying guidance, this research gives AEDT developers the ability to provide more options for meeting AEDT user's modeling needs along with the guidance required to exercise them.
