Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport
Unmanned Aircraft Systems: Discussion
2:00 am
Mr. Bobby Healy:
We are actively engaging U-space and EASA on noise regulations and noise acceptance levels. I am personally active with EASA on the noise. Mr. Houston is active on the U-space side. We work with Maynooth University and the IAA on this. The baseline noise is from the World Health Organization and the EPA. It is not our research. Those are the numbers from those organisations. I am not using those to beat up residents or to ignore them. I listen to residents. However, those are not our data. It is EPA and the WHO.
