To undertake specific studies, as approved by the Council, related to control of aircraft noise and gaseous emissions from aircraft engines.

In its work the Committee shall take into account the following:

  1. effectiveness and reliability of certification schemes from the viewpoint of technical feasibility, economic reasonableness and environmental benefit to be achieved;
     
  2. developments in other associated fields, e.g. land use planning, noise abatement operating procedures, emission control through operational practices, etc.;
     
  3. international and national programmes of research into control of aircraft noise and control of gaseous emissions from aircraft engines; and
     
  4. the potential interdependence of measures taken to control noise and to control engine emissions.
