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 Pilot's 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.
