The Aviation Environmental Design Tool (AEDT) is a software system that is designed to model aviation related operations in space and time to compute noise, emissions, and fuel consumption. This Supplemental Guide was created to be used in conjunction with the AEDT User Guide, providing detailed guidance on building simple noise and emissions studies in AEDT and importing studies created using either the FAA\u2019s Integrated Noise Model (INM) or the Emissions and Dispersion Modeling System (EDMS).97
