"Guy Elden Jr" wrote in message oups.com... 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). -- Guy |
