  • The aerodrome reference point (simply to locate the aerodrome in appropriate geographic coordinates). The reference point is set as the origin of the local Cartesian coordinate system used by the calculation procedure.

  • The aerodrome reference altitude (= altitude of aerodrome reference point). This is the altitude of the nominal ground plane on which, in the absence of topography corrections, the noise contours are defined.

  • Average meteorological parameters at or close to the aerodrome reference point (temperature, relative humidity, average windspeed and wind direction).
