ACRP Report 133: Best Practices Guidebook for Preparing Lead Emission Inventories from Piston-Powered Aircraft with the Emission Inventory Analysis Tool

Abstract

ACRP Report 133: Best Practices Guidebook for Preparing Lead Emission Inventories from Piston-Powered Aircraft with the Emission Inventory Analysis Tool will assist airport operators at general aviation airports with piston-powered aircraft in developing emission inventories at their airports. The methodologies used in the guidebook and the tool are enhancements to the current Federal Aviation Administration/Environmental Protection Agency (FAA/EPA) methodology. The use of airport-specific data is encouraged to ensure a more precise estimation of the emission inventory; however, the tool allows for the use of default data from the FAA/EPA or data collected as part of ACRP Project 02-34, "Quantifying Aircraft Lead Emissions at Airports."
