Noise Abatement Procedures

Noise Abatement Procedures are strategies implemented by airports and airlines to reduce the impact of aircraft noise on surrounding communities. These procedures include specific flight paths, altitudes, and engine use practices designed to minimize noise during takeoff, landing, and cruising. For example, aircraft may follow curved routes away from populated areas or adjust engine power to quieter settings. The goal is to balance safe and efficient flight operations with community comfort, helping to lessen disturbance caused by aircraft noise while maintaining safety and efficiency standards.
