The above clearly shows that a least-noise procedure does exist. Comparing<br />

procedure 1 and procedure 2 proves that tuning the reduction height allows reducing<br />

the measured sound level at the above-mentioned microphone, the cutback occurring<br />

before reaching the latter.<br />

Furthermore, adapting the climb thrust as per ICAO recommendations (procedure 3)<br />

allows another step in noise alleviation. In this particular case, the difference between<br />

the first procedure and an “optimized” one reaches 4 dB(A), which is quite significant.<br />

It is now interesting <strong>to</strong> focus on the noise constraints, and <strong>to</strong> track the SENEL value on<br />

ground (function of the ground distance from brake release), in order <strong>to</strong> check whether a<br />

payload penalty is still <strong>to</strong> be expected or not.<br />
