must be shown that the noise level of 
the airplane is no greater than the ap-
plicable limit set in Part D of appendix 
F. 

(c) For aircraft covered by this sub-

§ 36.801

Noise measurement. 

For primary, normal, transport, or 

restricted category helicopters for 
which certification is sought under ap-
pendix H of this part, the noise gen-
erated by the helicopter must be meas-
ured at the noise measuring points and 
under the test conditions prescribed in 
part B of appendix H of this part, or 
under an FAA-approved equivalent pro-
cedure. For those primary, normal, 
transport, and restricted category heli-
copters having a maximum certificated 
takeoff weight of not more than 7,000 
pounds for which compliance with ap-
pendix J of this part is demonstrated, 
the noise generated by the helicopter 
must be measured at the noise meas-
uring point and under the test condi-
tions prescribed in part B of appendix J 
of this part, or an FAA-approved equiv-
alent procedure.
