",,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,, "a Federal standards apply to all planes operating in the United States, regardless of where they were manufactured. This table primarily displays exhaust emissions standards for newly manufactured aircraft engines. Only two standards (smoke standards) have been set for in-use aircraft engines (see footnotes i and k). Therefore, unless otherwised noted, emissions in this table apply to new aircraft engines only. ",,,,,,,, "b HC, CO, and NOx are measured using the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Gaseous Emissions Test Procedure. Smoke is measured using the ICAO Smoke Emission Test Procedure. There is no useful life or warranty period for purposes of compliance with emissions standards.
