Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 164 / Friday, August 27, 2021 / Notices minimal influence of wind on the noise recording.
d Hover condition 2 sound elevation angle at 45 degrees: The aircraft maintains a hover condition at a lateral distance of 20 feet to the microphone position and at 20 feet AGL. Test when the conditions are optimal for minimal influence of wind on the noise recording.
e Hover condition 3 overhead, or sound elevation angle at 90 degrees:
The aircraft maintains a hover condition at 20 feet AGL and hold centered within
270 degrees relative to the microphone position for hover conditions described in paragraphs 16c and d of this rule, stabilize the aircraft in hover and record the sound in accordance with paragraph 16f of this rule.
c Hover condition 1 sound elevation angle at zero degrees: The aircraft maintains a hover condition at a lateral distance of 20 feet to the microphone and at 4 feet AGL rotors in the same plane as the microphone. Test when the conditions are optimal for
48287

a one foot radial over the microphone location.
f For the noise measurements at each hover condition, record the value of the equivalent sound level Leq and SPL in 13 octave bands for a minimum of 30
seconds for each of the test conditions paragraphs 16c through e of this rule.
g The tolerance of the hover height or lateral distance is within 1 ft., and the tolerance of the headings is within 5 degrees.
