5 - NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES<br />

5.1. ICAO NADP CLOSE-IN AND NADP DISTANT<br />

PROCEDURES<br />

These procedures are variations on the theme of reducing engine thrust (derate,<br />

cutback…) and managing speed at specific points along the takeoff flight path.<br />

As a general recommendation, the minimum level of thrust for the current flap/slats<br />

configuration after cutback, is defined as the lesser of the climb power and that level<br />

necessary <strong>to</strong> maintain a specified engine inoperative minimum climb gradient (1.2% and<br />

1.7% respectively for twins and quads) in the event of loss of the critical engine.<br />

5.1.1. NOISE ABATEMENT DEPARTURE PROCEDURE “CLOSE-IN”<br />

This procedure intends <strong>to</strong> reduce noise levels close <strong>to</strong> the airport. It involves a thrust<br />

cutback at or above a prescribed minimum altitude (800 ft) and delaying the flaps/slats<br />

retraction no later than the prescribed maximum altitude (3000 ft). At the prescribed<br />

maximum altitude, acceleration and flaps/slats retraction are performed according <strong>to</strong><br />

standard schedule while maintaining a positive rate of climb and then completing the<br />

transition <strong>to</strong> normal en-route climb procedures.<br />
