Abstract
Quota Count was proposed in the early 1990s as a easily understandable and defensible means of limiting the number of operations of noisier types of aircraft at each of the three London Airports. During its development the Quota Count concept was related to the Sound Exposure Level of a range of aircraft. Since then Quota Count has become one of the de-facto design standards for many larger aircraft. However, there is a lack of rigorous investigation of the applicability of Quota Count as an extensible design metric. This paper provides just such and exploration and determines that Quota Count is a valid metric, extending beyond pure SEL relationships to broader equivalent noise metrics. Additionally, recommendations are made as to how the QC metric can be used in a design decision environment. © 2010 by Peter Hollingsworth & David Sulitzer.
