This paper reports the most recent application of the MILNOISE PROCEDURE for the assessment of noise pollution due to training flight operations at Italian military airports. The experimental acoustic characterization of different military aircraft, like C27J, NH500, MB339, AM-X, F-16, EFA, HARRIER, TORNADO, operating in various military airfield, was carried out in the last 10 years. The results of airport acoustic impact on the surrounding environment, with reference to the actual traffic, have been reported in terms of L_(VA) contour plots on 1:25000 scaled maps. In order to minimize the noise impact on inhabited areas surrounding the airfield, both dedicated noise impact evaluation for each aircraft (and for every its single noise event such as: take-off, approach, touch & go and flyover) and a specific airport noise assessment with different air traffic scenarios have been carried out. Moreover, a numerical study aimed at evaluating the noise impact of F35 new military aircraft and at comparing its noise characteristic with actually and future military airfield scenarios have been effectuated. All the reported activities have been made in cooperation with the Italian Air Force.
