Requesting a hold from ATC for descents

The 707s (especially the non-fan models) the same type of DC-8, and the Convair 880 were the really bad noise makers. 727s and early DC-9s were not quite so loud on low-level flight. What the original program did was try to keep arrivals high enough so level offs did not have to occur below 6,000 feet, agl. It was the spool up of the engines at say 3,000 to 4,000 feet on "downwind" that spread noise all over town. The above 10,000 program for fuel came along later. Those living near NAFs are finding that things have retrogressed. USN apparently failed to include a noise level requirement in the specs for the newest F/A-18s. They are loooooud. They're easily tracked out to five to ten miles by ear alone. |

Well, the 727 APU cannot be used in flight. I heard it on the ground. It was very noisy. I don't know where your expertise on 727s comes from, but I know where mine comes from and the 727 was relatively quiet compared to most other airline airplanes at its time of entering service. Sure, but that was a noisy time compared to the present. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |
