Default Meaning of sign at end of runway at LAX

There's another reason... reassuring passengers every time they pass by
it that pilots are going to obey the noise abatement rules. I've had
pax point out the signs at my local airport and after telling them what
it's for they usually nod approvingly.


Nod approvingly for the fact that it is a P.C. piece of nonsense, or that
you and others are obeying noise abatement?


Well, my point being they see the sign, they think life is good because
pilots are going to obey the noise abatement, thus improving their
quality of life that tad bit more. Now, whether or not the pilot
actually obeys the noise abatement, that's another question. I think
the power of suggestion that the sign is even there is more than enough
to calm some peoples' irrational fears over noisy airplanes. (i.e.,
they're going to perceive planes as being quieter because they think
all pilots are now obeying the noise abatement rules, even if the rules
have no effect on actual noise levels).
