| All | All Aircraft | Both | Follow AOPA Noise Awareness Steps. Avoid direct overflight of residential areas when possible. |
| All | All Aircraft | Both | AOPA NOISE AWARENESS STEPS If practical, avoid noise-sensitive areas. Make every effort to fly at or above 2,000 feet over such areas when overflight cannot be avoided. • Consider using a reduced power setting if flight must be low because of cloud cover or overlying controlled airspace or when approaching the airport of destination. Propellers generate more noise than engines; flying with the lowest practical RPM setting will reduce aircraft noise substantially. • Perform stalls, spins, and other practice maneuvers over uninhabited terrain. • Familiarize yourself and comply with airport noise abatement procedures. • On takeoff, gain altitude as quickly as possible without compromising safety. Begin takeoffs at the start of a runway, not at an intersection. • Use PAPI. This will indicate a safe glide path and allow a smooth, quiet descent to the runway. (4 degrees at Scottsdale Airport) • Retract the landing gear either as soon as a landing straight ahead on the runway can no longer b |
