Article 1
These standards are determined pursuant to Article 11, Paragraph 1 of the Noise Control Act
Article 2
Testing of civil aircraft noise levels shall be performed in accordance with effective perceived noise (EPN), A-weighting maximum noise level, or sound exposure level (SEL) regulations in ISO-3891. The units employed are EPN dB, LAmax dB, and SEL dB, respectively.
Article 3
Noise control standards for subsonic jet aircraft for which a prototype airworthiness certificate application was made by October 5, 1977 are shown in the following table:
Article 4
Noise control standards for subsonic jet aircraft for which a prototype airworthiness certificate application was made by October 5, 1977 and where the aircraft design was modified after November 26, 1981 are shown in the following table:
Article 5
Noise control standards for subsonic jet aircraft for which a prototype airworthiness certificate application was made after October 6, 1977 are shown in the following table:
Article 6
Noise control standards for propeller aircraft are shown in the following tables in accordance with their maximum take-off weight and date of application for a prototype airworthiness certificate.

Ⅳ. Noise control standards for propeller aircraft with a maximum take-off weight greater than 8,618 kg for which a prototype airworthiness certificate application was made after November 17, 1988 are shown in the following table:
Ⅴ. Noise control standards for propeller aircraft with a maximum take-off weight of less than 8,618 kg for which a prototype airworthiness certificate application was made after November 17, 1988 are shown in the following table:
Either standards may be applied when the situation simultaneously conforms to the conditions in Subparagraph 1 and Subparagraph 3 of the foregoing paragraph. The same when the situation simultaneously conforms to the conditions in Subparagraph 2 and Subparagraph 3 of the foregoing paragraph.
The noise control standards in Paragraph 1 are not applicable to stunt, special event, agricultural, and fire fighting propeller aircraft.
