The invention belongs to the aircraft test flight technology, and particularly relates to a
noise qualification approval equivalent test flight method of a large transport-category aircraft. The
noise qualification approval equivalent test flight method of the large transport-category aircraft includes the steps of symmetrically setting three
noise measurement points in the direction perpendicular to the center extension line of an airport
ground track, carrying out an airworthiness noise
flight test with a flight path plunge method, after the aircraft takes off, entering flight path plunge points to set the
engine power, the
flight height and the
flight speed, carrying out the
flight test according to a reference flight path, measuring noise when the aircraft reaches the preset height above the
noise measurement points, going around to
pull up the aircraft after
noise measurement is completed, and repeatedly carrying out a next
flight test, wherein in the whole test process, the aircraft keeps flying all the time. According to the noise qualification approval equivalent test flight method, the
noise measurement points are greatly reduced, required noise test devices and required test persons are greatly reduced, cost is reduced, the test flight efficiency is improved, the test flight cycle is greatly shortened, the service life of an engine is prolonged, a
test site is flexibly selected, and flight tasks of aircrafts in other types in the site can not be influenced.
