The following is a summary of the meeting:
DISCUSSION: Use of longer runways to reduce noise on takeoff and landing was proposed by Arnold.
TAKEOFFS
1. Use less power on longer runway to reduce noise
2. Use power later to get up to altitude
LANDINGS
Use less power in reverse thrust or none to reduce noise
RECOMMENDATION
Have Leigh Fisher run tests on INM model for longer runway (west). If not possible, then:
Measure noise levels at locations used in last test while having aircraft follow above takeoff and landing procedures on longer runway (west).
