NOISE ABATEMENT
Environmental concerns require that measures be taken to minimize the effect of airplane noise
around airports or when operating near the ground. The following is a general guideline.
Many airports have published noise-abatement procedures. Pilots should become familiar with
these procedures and conform to them. Pilots should also avoid noise-sensitive areas such as
recreational and residential areas.
VFR departure from, and approach to an airport should be made so as to avoid prolonged flight at
an altitude lower than 2,000
ft AGL. This procedure would only apply where weather permits.
Other factors such as conflict with instructions from Air Traffic Control or the pilot's responsibility
to see and avoid other aircraft will ovemde this procedure.
No determination has been made by the Federal Aviation Administration as to whether the noise
level of the Comanche is or should be acceptable by any standard for operation at, into, or out of
any airport.
