Replaying flight tracks and noise events
Who is this article for?Noise analysts who need to replay flight movements and noise events.
Access to the ANOMS Noise Analyst Workbench is required.
The Replay window extracts and plays back flight track operations and noise events for a user-defined period, allowing you to view flight tracks, aircraft details, and noise events at each noise monitoring terminal (NMT/RMT).
Understanding replay capabilities
During replay, you can view flight tracks, aircraft details, and noise events at each noise monitoring terminal. If your system has ATC recording enabled, you can also hear the ATC audio during the replay, as long as the replay is running at normal (1x) speed.
Note: You cannot replay flight tracks from the Operations Browser — Replay loads its own data.

- In the Map Browser toolbar, click Replay.
- Click New Query or Open Query to populate the replay.
