NOISE CHARACTERISTICS AND NOISE
REDUCTION
I
The certified takeoff noise level for the Model 172S at 2550 pounds
maximum weight is
75.1
dB(A) per 14CFR36 Appendix G (through
Amendment 36-21)
and
78.2
dB
(A)
per ICAO Annex
16
Chapter
10
(through Amendment 4).
No
determination has been made that the
noise
levels of this airplane are or should be acceptable or
unacceptable for operation
at,
into, or out
of,
any airport.
The following procedures are suggested to minimize the effect of
airplane noise
on
the public:
1.
Pilots operating airplanes under
VFR
over outdoor assemblies
of persons, recreational and park areas, and other noise
sensitive areas
should make every effort to fly not less than
2000 feet above the surface, weather permitting, even though
flight at a lower level may be consistent with the provisions
of
government regulations.
2.
During departure from or approach to
an
airport, climb after
takeoff
and
descent for landing should
be
made so as to avoid
prolonged flight at low altitude near noise sensitive areas.
NOTE
The above recommended procedures do not apply
where they would conflict with Air Traffic Control
clearances or instructions, or where,
in
the
pilot'S
judgment,
an
altitude of less than 2000 feet
is
necessary to adequately exercise the duty to see
and avoid other airplanes.
