Aviation Environmental Portfolio Management Tool (APMT)

The Aviation Environmental Portfolio Management Tool (APMT) developed by the Federal Aviation Administration computes the environmental impacts of aircraft operations, their interrelationships and economic consequences using the following elements: APMT-Impacts, APMT-Cost Benefit, and APMT-Economics. The APMT-Impacts estimates the environmental impacts of aircraft operations through changes in health and welfare endpoints for climate, air quality, and noise.

This tool will help achieve the goal of the following objectives

Less Contamination
Less Emissions
Less Traffic Noise
Connectivity and Inclusion
Healthy Destinations
Less Traffic Violence
Active Transportation
Green Space

Estimation Technique

APMT tracks progress on reducing emissions by collecting data on emissions from aircraft and airports. This data is then used to create a report that shows how emissions have changed over time. The tool is important for measuring progress toward reducing emissions from aviation. The tool collects data on three main types of emissions: carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and noise. Data on these emissions is collected from a variety of sources, including aircraft operators, airport authorities, and air traffic controllers.
