REFLECTOR: Exhaust noise

[Tom Cacek]

Torrance, TOA (in California) also has the same db. limit.  I went there a while back to visit a friend who works at Robinson, but before departure, I contacted noise abatement before and told them I would contact them after TO to see where I was.  I was 91.5db. also, which they said was over the single event limit, but I think since I contacted them, they didn't send me anything in the mail.  Steve is correct, but I have not been back to try it again because I moved all my aircraft out of California to Florida (3FL0) where they don't have an aircraft property, or state income tax.  Only problem flying there in "flat land" compared to California, I have to look at the compass to know where north is, and watch out for those pesky towers.

Scott...

I think KSMO has a 88 db. noise limit.... Your not even close to meeting it... There are several airports in California that have similar noise limits... So, try to use full power on initial takeoff roll and then power back when your airborne until you leave the local airport runway ... Then power back up again after about a couple of mile away from the airport... Most noise sensors are very close to the runway approach and departure ends ... They have been trying to close that airport for years and noise is just one of the many ways the neighbors of the airport have to use against us their...Works for me....
