Abstract:

In September, 1984, the FAA, with the cooperation and support of the General Aviation Manufacturers Assoc. GAMA, conducted a noise measurement program on small propeller-driven aircraft at Salina Municipal Airport, Salina, Kansas. The program objectives were 1 to obtain takeoff noise data using prepared international and U.S. certification procedures for propeller-driven small airplanes and 2 to measure the benefits of noise abatement takeoff procedures being developed by the manufacturers for inclusion in the Pilots Operating Handbook. For the five twin and four single engine aircraft tested, the results show an average noise reduction of 4.4 decibels when using reduced power procedures after takeoff. Keywords General aviation Noise abatement Operating procedures.
