The mitigation of aviation environmental effects is one of the key requirements for sustainable aviation growth. Among various mitigation strategies, Noise Abatement Departure Procedures (NADPs) are a popular and effective measure undertaken by several operators. However, a large variation in departure procedures is observed in real operations. This study demonstrates the use of OpenSky ADS-B departure data for comparison and quantification of the differences in trajectories and the resulting community noise impact between real-world operations and NADPs. Trajectory comparison is accomplished in order to gain insights into the similarity between NADPs and real-world procedures. Clustering algorithms are employed to identify representative departure procedures, enabling efficient high-fidelity noise modeling. Finally, noise results are compared in order to quantify the difference in environmental impacts arising from variability in real-world trajectories. The methodology developed enables more efficient and accurate environmental analyses, thereby laying the foundation for future impact assessment and mitigation efforts.
