OPERATIONAL TECHNIQUES FOR REDUCING NOISE
This paper reviews various operation techniques for reducing noise nuisance. Of these, some have already been implemented and, where there is no associated penalty in terms of operational safety, further improvement can be confidently expected. In other cases, significant cost is involved and it is necessary to demonstrate conclusively that safety standards will not be impaired. The provision of adequate data to demonstrate the safety of these operations and, in some cases, the development of new equipment, means that such techniques can only be introduced, if ever, on a protracted time-scale. Perhaps the most promising technique, which is applicable even to the latest "quiet" aircraft, involves continuous descent from the stack to touchdown. This is already being adopted by many airlines and, together with the proper management of drag which is closely associated with this procedure, could result in some alleviation in the comparatively near future.
